VIBER
Viber is a direct rival to Skype and
WhatsApp and is currently one of the top ranked, free social networking apps on
iTunes. It syncs with your phone contacts and like WhatsApp, shows who already
has Viber. It is 100% free to use apart from what it may cost you in your internet
connection, unless using Wi-Fi.
Totally free usually means ads but
Viber is completely ad free, runs in the background so it doesn't drain your
battery too much and features some excellent HD sound quality. It's not as
feature rich as WhatsApp, but upcoming updates promise much more functionality
in the future.
Discovr People
We looked at Discovr Music last week, so
we'll take a quick glance this week at Discovr People, a similar app to the music
version allowing users to discover new people on Twitter. Just type in a name
and you'll soon find a spider web like tree branching out to other interesting people
that you might like to follow based on the people being followed by the
original person.
It works on iPhone and iPad, features retina
display and allows users to explore more about the people you search through an
easy tap system calling up bios or additional info about that particular
person. Just like Discovr Music, Discovr People has an intuitive interface that
is so very easy to use, leading you on an endless trail of new peeps through Tweetland.
Tapatalk Forum App
TapaTalk Forum App is the best way to
experience forums all over the net. Using Safari on your device for this
purpose can be a frustrating experience but TapaTalk is currently supported by
over 30,000 forums with 400 forums added each week, all spanning various
topics.
TapaTalk compiles these forums, into
one nicely laid out location where users can browse or search the different types
of forums available. It feels streamlined, compact and stripped back for a no
frills experience, though you lose very little in the way of regular features
and control, as members can view who is online, check out board stats and see user
profiles.
But you can also send private messages,
integrate with Facebook and Twitter and save posted images to an album for a
well-rounded feature set in one easy app that allows you to forum hop with
ease. There's a reason this is a top 5 social networking app and there is very
little else like it that can bring all your forums' needs to one place.
iLoader 2 For Facebook
This is easily the best photo and video
batch uploader for Facebook. Many a time has Facebook's own uploader failed to
produce the results its users are looking for, but iLoader 2 is quick and far
less painful.
Not only does iLoader 2 do an excellent
job of uploading multiple photos and videos with captions, and tagging, but it
has a broad range of features to virtually Photoshop images, creating photo albums,
adding video titles, giving descriptions and privacy permissions, trimming
videos or even uploading photos and videos together in one shot. Facebook can't
do that!
It can do all this in the background and
you can even perform everything, but upload, without an internet connection allowing
you to save and come back to pick up where you left off before adding the
finishing touches and uploading.
