Tempo Magic Pro iPhone app Review

Description:

The Tempo Magic Pro iPhone app is a great way to take any song or playlist that has a slower BPM and to turn it up so that it perfectly complements any workout routine!

Features:

• One of the coolest features that is located on this app is the ability you have to run the BPM to a higher speed without ruining the pitch of the song
• Another neat feature that comes along with this five dollar app is that you will be able to play all of your audio files protected or not straight from your iPod library
• If you are currently listening to a song and you would like to up the tempo to help it better fit your workout then you can do this at any time
• One of the other cool things this app can do is take all of your playlists and songs that have different tempos and make it all fit into one tempo of your choice.  This is called the BPM lock mode
• There is a playback feature that has absolutely no gaps in it
• You also have great control over the shift so that you can either slow the song down or raise it up by almost 25%
• This app is also great for music multitasking.  This means that you will be able to play it perfectly in the background while you do other things
• This app is also compatible with top workout accessories like Bluetooth Audio as well as Nike +
• The retina display on the iPhone 4 does a great job of making this app look stunning

Conclusion:

This app is great because it can help you turn any workout into the perfect workout by creating the best soundtrack possible.  If you get great songs that have really high energy and fast beats, it can help you up your game and work yourself harder.  This is a great way to take all of your favorite songs out there and up their tempo so that they match your feet while you are running or help you to pedal on your bike and keep up your pace.  Pretty genius idea for a music app on the iPhone.

This game has been given an overall rating of 3 1/2 stars out of 5 stars by iPhone app users that have already tried it out.  The game is a little pricier than most and runs at around $4.99 to be able to purchase and download.

Box.net Android app Review

Description:

The Box.net Android app is a web based service allowing you to view and share files.

Features:

• The Box.net Android app is a cool little application that lets you share and view different files.  You can browse through the files on box if you want
• You can also view documents, media, and other sorts of files while using the app.  They even give you up to 5 GB free
• In order to share files you simply email the link to other people so they can click on it and then view it
• You can also upload any files that you want right to the device which is nice and makes your smart phone that much more convenient
• You can also use the search feature to look through many different files if you would like
• You can also manage, share, and collaborate all of these files through the online version of the app
• The user interface is clean and easy to use and the setup of the app is really simple

Conclusion:

The Box.net Android app has quite a bit going for it.  For one, being able to share the files is a nice touch.  You can do it easily by just viewing the file and then clicking the little arrow on the right side of the file name.  Once you do that the share option will come up and you will be able to see a bunch of different bluetooth and mail accounts.  You can send the link to the file through email and then your friends and family can open it up and see what you’ve sent to them.  The only problem is that the links are not password protected so you will want to be careful the kinds of things you are sending links to.  On the other hand, viewing the files sent to you can be a bit of a pain.  Most of the files that are sent are directed to other sorts of programs and the office documents come up in preview form.  The web version of this app works perfectly but it looks like these bugs weren’t figured out for the Android app.  Also, the app has some functionality issues and you can’t decided whether to download files or actual folders.

This app has been given a rating of 3 out of 5 stars by Android app users that have tried it out and used it quite a bit.  The other nice thing about the app is that it is completely free to download onto your mobile phone.

Features:

• This plug headphones app is a really cool lifestyle app that you can use to open up your favorite media player every time that you plug in your headphones.

• Definitely worth checking out, especially since it isn’t very expensive

Conclusion:

This is a very simple app for the Android that will allow you to launch an application that has been installed.  You can pick which app to launch from your list whenever you are plugging in your headphones.  Another cool feature that this app has is that you can set it so that it launches an app even if it detects a Bluetooth earpiece that has been connected.  This is for all Android devices that are 2.0 and above.  This is just a convenience app that is nice because it saves you from having to click a few more times to find your media player that you prefer over the others.  The only thing you have to be careful of is if you use your headphones for something other than listening music because it will always open that same app every time that you plug your headphones in.

This app has been given a rating of 3.9 stars out of 5 stars by Android app users that have downloaded the game and tried it out.  The game also only costs $1.49 to download onto your smart phone.
