These schemes can anything that one can like essentially ranging from food, entertainment, fun, dreams etc. that one might like and want to do.

Google Currents for Android and iOS

December 10, 2011 Udit Malhotra Leave a comment

Google Currents the much awaited and rumored magazine style application that is considered to be a sound competitor to existing apps like Flipboard, Zite Etc. is finally in. The application has a vivid design allowing users to access their favorite blogs, RSS Feeds, websites and more at the flick of a finger right across their handheld or tablet device. The application is available across both Android and iOS platform.

An added advantage that lies for the user is allowing support for offline reading and synchronization with the Google Account. The application also has a divided layout with images of the most popular posts on the top that one can scroll and tap to access or view a particular post and more new content lying beneath in clean and simple way. During the initial installation the application can take a while to load and render images as some preloaded subscriptions are initiated. I would prefer users to use a Wi-Fi connection to install the app as they can get a better usage experience. If you tend to install the application on a 2G/3G connection you will not have an awesome experience as we see a lag while the application initiates and loads.

The subscription model also has varied options including the most trending subscriptions or one can choose via categories that have been defined. In order to support offline access enable sync and sync images for offline use option to enable image visibility while off the hook. The app allows you the share the latest stuff that you read across Facebook, Google +, Email Etc., also the app boasts the patented Google Voice Search. Google Currents is available in the Android Market and App Store for iOS users now available for use within US.

I understand that few of us will crave to go ahead and use the application, which also included me. I have managed to download the application on to my Sony Ericsson neo v and took all screenshots possible to share with each one of you. A trick that I also found online about how to install the application on a non-US based Android device is by downloading a tweaked APK that will start downloading the app and you can install it to your device. Please use this installer package at your own risk, it worked for me. To install the application your will also have to enable installation from unknown sources located under manage applications option within the settings tab of your Android device. You can download the file from: http://goo.gl/pQuEG.

I must say this app is a great way to explore you reading buds. Initially I installed the app and my add all my favorite tech blogs, music stuff and feeds that I read. The Google reader integration is again a great way to pull your feeds at a stretch and be in touch with the buzz all around. Try the application and do share your reviews with us. The happy ones or whatever you would like to share.

Enjoy the app! 😉

Google bar’s updated look : Whats New ?

December 5, 2011 Udit Malhotra Leave a comment

Google Bar’s Updated look has been finally integrated across major Google services, I saw Google India’s website showcasing it today. Google’s Official Blog had mentioned earlier that the overall revamp of design started 6 months back with the key criteria to enhance user experience by providing a simple and easy interface for users across its services. The new design includes changes to the top bar, which is available across all Google products. The left corner comprises of the Google Logo with a drop-down menu which is displayed when user hovers the mouse over the area, a centralized search box in the center allowing users to search specific to the Google service being used i.e. Google Maps, You Tube, Google + Etc. and the right corner with options for the users to see notifications on Google Plus, Share Options and user account management.

New Look:

Even if users have not signed-in they still may use all services within the Google home page, the menu is automatically displayed once the page loads. To access all items users can click on “More”.

The upper right corner consists of notification icons that display recent activity on your Google Plus account that displays people who have added you to their circles, stream activity and posts directly shared. To view these notifications you can simply click on the red box, it would be gray if you don’t have any notifications.

Another interesting feature is the share box, the best part about this feature is that it is not limited within Google Plus, it can be accessed across all Google services allowing the user with wider options to share and collaborate, one can choose the circles they would like to share with and have an option to add links, photos, videos and location.

The last option on the right is user account management which allows users to sign-out, switch or manage Google accounts by clicking on the picture and selecting the intended option.

Did you like the new changes ? Please share your views with us.
