Your monthly update on mobile phone apps -
Clean Master
Free (Android)
By KSMobileWe don't realise it, but a lot of space on our smartphones are occupied by cache and residual files. This free app scans the internal as well as the external storage for such files and old apps. Then it draws a list of files that we can choose to delete. In case we have selected a wrong file, it prompts that the file should not be removed.
PicCollage
Free (Android & iOS)
By Cardinal Blue
Have hundreds of photos on your iPhone that you wish to share? Install PicCollage, a free software that provides you will the creative freedom of adding multiple images to one frame. We could select images from library, Instagram and Facebook or search the web for images. Once done, we dragged and change the position of the images on the frame. We could also choose from the various frames pre-loaded in the app. The collage can be shared on Social Networking sites, emailed or sent as a postcard.
Ola Cabs
Free (Android; iOS)
By ANI TechnologiesAfter EasyCabs, Ola Cabs has now launched an app for online bookings. After downloading the app, we had to create an account by keying in our email id, name and number. The app instantly allowed us to book a cab. We could book a cab for an instant ride or schedule a pick-up for a later date. While choosing the location on the map, we could also track the location of the nearest Ola Cabs. But one area where the app scores is with Ola Money, that lets you recharge the account for future use.
Close All Apps Free (Symbian)
By SnakeSoftEven before the iPhone and other smartphones were launched, Nokia phones running on the Symbian operating system offered true multitasking. But those apps would continue to run in the background if they were exited without shutting the programme. While we can individually close all the apps, only third party apps allow us to close all of them in one go. There are numerous such apps available for Android and other operating systems, but the best one we have spotted for the Symbian platform is Close All Apps application. Available free of cost, this isn't a heavy app as it is only 0.1MB. Just by launching the app and hitting the 'x' key, all the apps running in the background are closed.
InstaPlace Free (Android & iOS)
By Byss MobileThis application smartly tags the location to your pictures with a single touch. Coming from the developers of InstaPro Weather application that made sharing weather information much more interesting, this app works only if you enable the location services on the phone. The app automatically detects the location and superimposes it on the images captured. You can choose various skins and fonts for your pictures before posting it. There is also a 'more' option that gives options such as travel, food, text and emotions along with the basic set. Once done, the image with the skin can be shared on the social networks. However, the free version has apps and to get rid of them you have to buy the full version for Rs 55.
