MeteoEarth: The Professional Quality Weather App for Android

MeteoEarth is one of the most stunning weather apps I have ever come across. With graphics unmatched in any other and a system powered by those similar to the professional meteorologists on newscasts this app packs a useful and appealing punch. Not only is this just a GPS linked daily forecaster, but you can spin the globe and pinpoint and track weather systems anywhere on Earth. You can even switch which weather systems to show such as rain, cloud cover, and wind diagrams. The option for a 3D view or a flattened out 2D map to view the weather on also makes the experience that much more profound.

For those of us who love weather and tracking the state of the world’s systems this app will provide literally endless fun. Having worries about relatives in a different state or different country? No problem, just zoom your map in over where they are and see for yourself how things are doing over there.

The interface is one of the smoothest I have used for an app this expansive. The ability to spin the globe and pick out pinpointed locations feels very natural and takes no time at all to learn. Anyone from a weather buff to a regular, everyday person would find this app interesting and entertaining, as well as most importantly, useful.

PhotoPlay for Windows Phone 8: An Instagram Alternative

One of the most coveted apps that has yet to make an appearance on the Windows Phone platform is the infamous Instagram. The photo sharing app with the power of Facebook behind it is the name synonymous with photo sharing and on the go amateur filter photography. Although Windows Phone users are simply left behind and out of the loop with Instagram, there are a few alternative apps that can allow a simulated experience. There was a new addition to this arena last week with the app called PhotoPlay. It is essentially an Instagram style filter and social media app with a different name.

PhotoPlay does what it does well. With a great amount of filters and effects, you can get the most of the great cameras Windows Phone 8 devices come equipped with. One of the only pitfalls is the same barrier that every other photo sharing app besides Instagram has to overcome; it’s not Instagram. This means that simply because it doesn’t have the millions of users at the heart of the app the functionality of sharing these pictures in an Instagram like forum is impossible. Although the app is available cross platform, getting your friends to try it out is one thing, but getting the world to cater to the app may be an entirely different story.

PhotoPlay is also only compatible with Windows Phone 8. There is no version which works with earlier versions of the OS which means that the market for the app is even further restricted. Either way it is a fun app and a great alternative to Instagram like on the fly editing and filter application.

HyperSwitch: A Windows-Esque Preview Based App Switcher for Macs

Only a few years ago the general consensus in the world of technology was that Windows ran the world and Mac users were simply an odd niche. These days Mac products and computers have taken the world of computing by storm and the market for users who are going from Windows to Mac is huge. Even though this debate has been going on for a long time the fact of the matter is that a lot of people are switching over to Mac and it may not be the most natural OS for a life long Windows user to adjust to. One of the areas of computing that many Windows users of the modern age have grown accustomed to is the idea of switching between opened apps and windows. In the Windows OS you can pop up a little dock of opened, and available programs to access quickly, but with Mac the default dock may throw some new users off from the lack of a preview function. Well, there’s now a way to get the best of both worlds.

There is a new app which is still in beta which allows Mac users the option to have a Windows OS style preview based dock to switch between apps and open windows. It is called HyperSwitch. Although it is still in beta it works quite well with only a few known errors and is free. If you’re a Windows user who is missing your preview based switching then grab up this app and never look back.

The best feature of this app is the customization. The mac default dock is good, but leaves a few customization issues open for critique. This HyperSwitch can be adjusted in virtually any way possible to fit your screen, be hidden, size differently when hovering and even even perform actions to open apps simply over the dock icons.

For a new, beta app, this is quite a solid first run and it will only get better. If you’re only into apps that are completely finished and flawless then you might want to keep searching, but as far as function and performance goes this beta is pretty close to being able to accomplish everything it sets out to do.
