Win a $10,000 Gift Card!

Gotcha , it's just time for Apple's big giveaway. They started the countdown last Thursday for 50 billion app-downloads. The lucky person who downloads the 50 billionth app gets a $10,000 iTunes gift card.

If you don't win the $10K, you still have the chance to win $500. Apple is also giving $500 to the next 50 downloads. Isn't that awesome?

Also, you can enter without downloading anything. All you have to do is fill THIS FORM.

I don't want to bring anyone down, but the possibility of winning the $10K is almost zero. By 2011, about 30 million apps were downloaded everyday. That means about 347 apps were downloaded every second! So the chance of winning  is very low. But there's still a chance. So go ahead and give it a try. It won't coast you anything. GOOD LUCK!


HERE'S THE LINK OF THE COUNTDOWN PAGE

Play against your friends with Fun Run

We don't see many games that allow you to play between iOS and Android devices. However this one does. Fun Run is a great multiplayer racing game. It is incredibly addictive. Get it from the App Store or the Play Store for free.


When you first download the game, it will ask you to register. By the time you finish, you will be able to play the game online. You can either play randomly with other users, or you can add friends and play with them. In other words, no Game Center needed.


The game's idea is pretty simple, you control a running animal by jumping and using weapons you collect on the way. It looks a lot like Crash on the Playstation. Anyway, it is a great game that you should defiantly check out.

By the way, if you want you can add me, my username is: amabd95

How to find your lost Android phone. (Silent)

Over the years I've lost my phone a lot of times, but the worst case is losing your phone when it's on silent. So here's a way to find your phone even if it was on silent or even stolen!

Here's what you'll need to do, download an application from the Play Store. It's called "Where's my Droid" and you can get it for FREE!

After you install the app, you're going to set it up. Basically, the app allows you to send text messages with different keywords to help you locate your phone. Simply type the message you want and you're done.

This app helps you in different ways, first you can make it ring even if it was on silent, simply text your phone with the keyword that you chose and your phone will ring loudly. But what if it was stolen? Text your self with the GPS keyword and you will receive a Google maps link that will locate your phone.

There are also some in-depth advanced settings that might help you but the default is fine for me.

Android

I got a new android phone which is the Nexus 4. So the blog will not be only about iOS, it will be talking about my personal tech life. This is just a quick update, I will be posting everything else later.

Interesting -FREE- Apps of the week #2

• Cordy 2 (FREE)                                                                                                                                          This is a game that I like because it reminds me of  Sonic. You play this robot that goes left and right and jumps till you finish all the levels. You will see a few things to kill on your way but that's not a big deal. One downside about this game is that it makes me dizzy for some reason!                                                                                      
• Glow Hockey 2 FREE                                                                                                                                               This is my favorite multiplayer game at the moment. It has great graphics and a great gaming experience. The one-player mode has 4 different difficulties, 3 extremely easy ones, and 1 extremely hard one. That's the only negative point for me.
• Can Knockdown (FREE)                                                                                                                                      I love this game physically as well as on a device. It is a very addictive game. I like the challenges on this game with my Game Center friends. It's just fun.                                                                           
• OPlayer Lite (FREE)                                                                                                                                           VLC was my favorite media player on my device. However, it's not in the App Store anymore so I wanted to pick an alternative. And here comes OPlayer. It is a great media player that supports a lot of extensions. It even has a browser to download files directly from the application.                                        
• Unblock Me FREE                                                                                                                                                  A great puzzle game that wants you to move blocks to get one of them out of the picture. What makes  this game good for me is that it has a ton of levels. I'm currently on the 70th level and counting and it's all free!

5 Interesting Apps of the Week #1

Welcome to the first episode of Interesting Apps of the Week. I will try to put my personal favorite apps of every week in this series. So lets start. NOTE: Click on the application's name to download.

• WolframAlpha ($2.99).                                                                                                                            You might need a great calculator that does everything for you. WolframAlpha is probably the best calculator you will ever find. It covers a lot of the mathematics fields such as calculus, Algebra, and many more. However, that's not all, it also covers other fields of science. It is basically your study reference. 

• Head Soccer (FREE)                                                                                                                        This game is an addictive game that makes football much more fun. You control those mini footballers and play football with no rules. Isn't that the dream? There are a lot characters and countries that you can play with and 4 different modes, Survival, Tournament, Arcade, or Multiplayer. By the way, I personally prefer Head Soccer to Fifa 13.

•  Fit Brains Trainer (FREE)                                                                                                                     This is an application controlled by DR. Paul Nussbaum, a specialist in brain health across the lifespan. It gives you daily training sessions for your brain. Each session includes different simple puzzles that you should solve during the time limit. It should help you have a healthier brain, not to mention that it is really fun.

                                         

• Appsfire (FREE)                                                                                                                                              A great application that organizes most applications for users. It shows great deals and app-discounts to help you enjoy the best of the App Store without going broke. 

• Dead Trigger (FREE)                                                                                                                                      Zombie games are my favorite type of games. But they are not so good when it comes to mobile devices. However, it's not the same with Dead Trigger. The graphics are good, the story is good, and the controls are not so bad. To sum up, it is one of the best zombie-games on the App Store
