Seesmic review

If you are a twitterati and want to see what people are tweeting or stay connected on Facebook then this app is for you. Seesmic developed by French entrepreneur Loic Le Meur is a social networking tool for integrating websites like Twitter and Facebook over a range of suites like desktop, mobile and website. One using twitter apps on smart phones like tweetdeck and twitter for mobile will find Seesmic very rich in user interface.

How this app works:-

 While creating a Seesmic account, you're first asked to sign onto your Twitter account to authorize the app to access your tweets. Once authorized, you are directed back to the Seesmic and all your personal information like your tweets, people you follow and followers is uploaded.  The user interface and overall feel of Seesmic is simple yet elegant. 

  With Seesmic you can re-tweet(with comment too), send a direct message, mark tweet as favourite or update status, like someone`s post on Facebook or comment on it. Seesmic has separate tabs on home screen for replies and direct messages. Also if you find certain words or users offensive you can mute them and remove them from your timeline. You can share pictures using Instagram, Twitpic, MobyPicture, yFrog or Lockerz The most striking feature that I found useful was the ability of the user to control background updates (time interval in which your timeline will be refreshed), inbuilt option to use twitLonger for tweets longer than 140 characters and also option to shorten the URL you are going to post.

Problems or bugs:-

Even though Seesmic supports Indian languages there are some issues while displaying them on mobile phones which need to be rectified. 

Availability:-

Seesmic is available for free on Google play ,Apple`s App store, Blackberry`s app world and Nokia`s OVI store. The ad- free version for android is available for Rs 156.91 or $2.99.

Recommendation :-

Seesmic is good to download if you want to stay connected on twitter 24/7. 

MyFitnessPal Review.

The first app that I am going to review is MyFitnessPal developed by MyFitnessPal LLC. This app is for all fitness freaks. Unlike other calorie counter apps like Calorie Counter pro and Livestrong which are all paid apps this app is free.  MyFitnessPal is a website along with mobile applications that helps you track the calories you have consumed and also manage your weight. This app has very friendly user interface and also loads fast as compared to other calorie counter apps

How does this app work?

MyFitnessPal is calorie counter and exercise tracker. All that you have to do is enter all food that you have consumed. MyFitnessPal has entries of more than 2000000 food items and the company claims that it has largest food database of any android based calorie counter. The best part of MyFitnessPal is that it supports variety of Indian dishes like Dosa,Poha,upma,vada pav etc to  paneer tikka, chicken tikka and also home made food like roti sabji and dal tadka too. 

        

All that you have to do is to enter the food that you have eaten along with serving size and you get approx. Calories you have consumed. Also this app provides facility of bar code scanning. So if you are eating any processed food like corn flakes all that you have to do is scan the bar code, enter serving size and you get the calories consumed along with other nutrition details. 

Weight Tracking:-

MyFitnessPal provides another feature of tracking your weight. So you can use this app if you want to lose or gain or maintain weight.  You have to enter the goal(desired weight you want and time period in which you want) type of lifestyle you have and this app will suggest you the range of exercises that you can do. Also you can add your friends in this app and track and share workouts. 

Problems or Bugs:-

No such serious errors or bugs are visible in this app though this app does not fully support metric system (Miles/hour is used instead of km/hour and goals have to be set in lbs) , However company says that they soon will release an update of this app which supports metric system.
