Nokia’s Exclusive “Man of Steel” Superman App for Windows Phone

If you, like everyone else out there, is eagerly awaiting the release of the hugely hyped Superman: Man of Steel movie then you’re in luck. This movie has been preceded by a nice little gem of an app and game made exclusively for Windows Phone users. Gone are the days where the native Android and iOS users have everything that Windows Phone users want, and now everyone without a Windows Phone is green with envy. This new game, Man of Steel, is right now exclusively available for Nokia Lumia devices on the Windows Phone Platform, but will probably have wider releases in the near future.

The game itself is great. Like the Iron Man 3 game app, it goes above and beyond what other game apps and especially niche, specific movie related apps have done in the past. Apparently, gone are the days of just attaching some trailers and pictures to an app and calling it a day. This Man of Steel app comes complete with great levels of exciting action combined with tons of unlock-able features and of course the inevitable trailers.

At the end of the day this app is really fun and a great way to get even more excited for the new Superman movie. The thrill of being Superman flying through the skies has never been so real as it is with this app. The game truly taps into, and harnesses the incredible potential of the Lumia device and the very powerful Windows Phone 8 drivers. Don’t wait to snatch this game up for free today.

Weather Station: A Direct Link to Weather on Your Home Screen

The apps involving weather on smart phones are hard to be revolutionary and worth downloading. Let’s face it, weather is literally the most obvious part of our day and can be figured out from looking out a window. Sometimes though, waking up and looking at your phone with the curtains still over the windows you want to know how to prepare yourself for the real world. This is where Weather Station comes in, functioning in a way that no other apps can.

Most people think of smart phones as gaming and appointment setters for their daily lives. People often overlook the incredibly useful world of widgets and apps for things they never even knew they could access on a smart phone. Weather is one of those things. Most of us have a stock app for weather that usually updates too slowly, gets bogged down when you really want to use it, or just offers incredibly useless and wrong information. Weather station avoids all of those things and works incredibly well.

This app was specially designed for the newest line of smart phones that are hitting the market. As we all know these crazy devices are becoming more so versions of every other gadget we have around and now the Samsung Galaxy S4 is capable of temperature, humidity and pressure sensing all in it’s own technology. This creates a whole new level of accuracy and customization with a smart phone independent of getting data from a weather site.

Although the S4 is the only phone with that kind of technology included in the device, the app is still a great weather app, and probably one of the best for any kind of handset without those built in sensors. If you ever need to check the weather make sure you check out this app and see all of the great features it carries. Especially if you have a Galaxy S4 you owe it to yourself to see what this app is capable of harnessing within your handset’s own technology.

Clutch: New Mobile Wallet For Android

Think about all of the shopping you do on a daily basis. Most of it is done with credit cards, or debit cards and all that really is, is information being sent across internet lines to tell when money needs to be transferred. With the ever growing number of uses for our smart phones, it is becoming more and more easy to use them as a form of payment and to use them to find the best ways to shop with sales and coupons. This new app for Android, called Clutch, will be a similar concept to those familiar with Passport for iOS. It is a mobile payment app which allows the user the freedom to use their smart phone as a virtual debit or credit card.

Not only is Clutch a payment format for a smart phone, but it also combines the ability to send and receive daily deals, the best buying options and gift giving all in one pseudo-social network style app. This is truly a revolutionary platform for Android and if this takes off, which it seems like it will, this will revolutionize the way we do business transactions in our modern day. Get on with this style of payment and personal finance and stay ahead of the curve with Clutch for Android.

This app also features a Shopping Feed which is essentially a list of products that updates repeatedly over time to make sure you can stay up to date on what you might like and what you need to do to stay with the best deals being offered that are relevant to your shopping trends.

The Top 5 Best Android Apps for Backing Up Your Data

Backing up the things we have saved on our phones these days is becoming more and more important. We not only have incredibly vital information stored on these devices, but the overall function of our smart phones has taken over large aspects of our work and daily schedule. Here are the five best apps for backing up your data on your Android device

Titanium Backup Root ;

Titanium_backup

The most famous and well used backup app available for Android is the Titanium Backup App. It is powerful, does everything you need from it and allows for heavier customization than most others. Never fear about losing your app data, or your phone memory with this app installed on your phone.

SMS Backup and Restore ;

sms_backup_restore_sms

This app is for those of us who find our phone’s texting inbox filling up far too quickly and need to slim it down by deleting messages, but often delete some by accident. Sometimes we have very important things saved in text messages, yet when we delete them there is usually almost no way of getting it back. With the SMS Backup and Restore App, you can schedule backups to automatically occur and save your texts so that never happens again.

Go Backup Pro ;

Go_Backup_Pro-

Another all around backup app, Go Backup Pro helps store and save user data, system settings, and everything else you would want protected on your phone. This app can be a lifesaver if your device ever becomes corrupted or a malicious app is downloaded that compromises your data.

Carbon – App Sync and Backup ;

App_Sync

Carbon is a newer contender to the world of backup apps. Unlike the others we have discussed here it does not require root, which is a big plus for more general and simplified users of Android devices. Carbon is an app that works in the background and requires you do not do anything after setting it up, but still allows the safety of knowing your device is being synced and backed up.

Super Backup: SMS and Contacts ;

super_backup

This is a very good app for those of us who live by our Androids. Some of us that work with these devices hold our treasured texts and contacts and calendar dates all in one device and risking losing these can be a true nightmare. This app works to make sure that can never happen by backing up all of that data to your SD card or sending it out to your email inbox. This can really save the day if your phone is ever compromised.
