[FREE ANDROID APP] Moments: Share your photos privately and Get photos you didn't take

Moments is Facebook's newest app to share your moments you have with your friends, family, relatives, colleagues and anybody that you care of.

The idea is to get photos of you that trapped in your friends' phone and to give photos to your friends which photos are trapped on your phone.
Most of the time what happen when you are gathering with your friends are all of you taking photos here and there and that's it, you never share it and so does your friends, so those photos are trapped inside the phones.

Now with moments and facebook auto-face detection algorithm, it will help you identify whoever in the photos and prompt you to sync the photos with that person.



If your friends don't have moments yet, the photos with link will be sent to their Facebook messenger.



Then if you are wondering, what is the difference between Moments and the real Facebook, since the real Facebook also can do the same, share photos and tag them?
Well I'm not really heavy Facebook user, so I don't really know Facebook latest functionalities and features, but what I notice are:
  • Whatever photos share in Moments, they are private between you and the one you share

  • They just photo albums with photos, no link, no post, no groups, except comments between you and the one you share to
  • No menu, no settings. Just add photos button
So I can say, it's simplified version of Facebook and a new place for you to share your private moments with anybody you care for.

This app does not have in-app purchases.
This app needs internet access to connect and to upload and see photos.

Current version varies between device requires Android 2.3 (GingerBread) and up.

[FREE ANDROID APP] Go-Jek: Indonesia's Version of Uber & (One of) Solution for Jakarta Heavy Traffic Jam

Today FREE APP is Go-Jek.



For more FREE APPS or FREE GAMES, visit:
http://android711.blogspot.com/

Last week I was on holiday to Jakarta - the capital city of Indonesia. For those who wondering why I didn't write anything on my blog these past few days, that's because I was on holiday.
As you may probably knew already, Jakarta is one of the city in the world with worst traffic jam, so even to reach point A to point B with distance of 10KM, if you happen to stuck at the traffic jam, it can take an hour or even more!

That's where I found Go-Jek, Indonesia's version of Uber, - however instead of car they use motorcycle - to be very helpful. For those who don't know also, ojek is Indonesia native language for motorcycle taxi.
Even though Uber itself exists in the Indonesia capital city, but due to the heavy traffic jam, taking uber with you will get you nowhere but stuck. Go-Jek since they are using motorcycle to move around, so they can quite easily get pass through the traffic jam.

The fee is also considerably cheap. Moreover, they are now - as of August 2015, having promotion, where if you traveling around the Jakarta city, the cost to get you around is just IDR 15,000 (~US$1.2) for every 25KMs. For other cities, the promotional cost is IDR 10,000 (US$0.9) for every 25KMs. Awesome!

The app is pretty much the same as Uber app - if you ever used Uber before - select point to pick you up, then select your destination. You can even pay the driver with cash in case you don't have any credits with you and the app is in English - great for you who can't speak Bahasa Indonesia.



Go-Jek provides more services compared to Uber. Go-Jek has courier delivery services to deliver goods from one point to another point, food delivery services to deliver your lunch to your home/office, and shopping services where they will shop for you and deliver the goodies to you and pay after you receive the goodies. Fantastic!

One drawback is that Jakarta is super hot and dusty during the dry season. So if you can't really stand out in the hot sunny day then Go-Jek is not for you. Another drawback is that you can't really use Go-Jek when the rain season is coming, unless you are okay to get wet.

Just like Uber, Go-Jek is also giving away credits to those share about Go-Jek. They give IDR 50,000 (US$4) for both the one sharing the code and the one use the share code - FYI, IDR 50,000 is more than enough for traveling the whole Jakarta in 1 day as IDR 15,000 is equal to 25KMs. Therefore, I would like to give my code here, so both of us can get IDR 50,000 to be used for Go-Jek whenever I or you visit Jakarta. Here is my referral code: 544 256 711. No forcing whatsoever, input the referral code only if you like to.



This app does not offers in-app purchases. However you need credits to pay for the services.
This app needs internet access and your location services to be turned on.

Current version 1.0.54 requires Android 4.0 (ICS) and up.

[FREE ANDROID GAME] Angry Birds 2: The Famous Slingshot game is back with Tons of New Features!

Today FREE GAME is Angry Birds 2.



For more FREE APPS or FREE GAMES, visit:
http://android711.blogspot.com/


Finally the real sequel to the famous bird slingshot game: Angry Birds 2.
Like the original Angry Birds game, the 2nd sequel of the game maintain the original gameplay: to slingshot the birds to the pig enemy. However, the 2nd sequel comes with bunch of additional new features.

Birds and their unique abilities
Now, all the birds have their name already and in the 2nd sequel, each really has their unique ability to be used in the right moment right time - now you can choose which bird to slingshot. Red with his cry ability, Blue with his ability to easily crush ice, chuck - the yellow bird with his ability to easily crush anything from wood, matilda - the white bird with his ability to drop a bomb and many more characters. So if you find the obstacles are made from wood, choosing Chuck to be slingshot, is the right choice and will have the best impact.


Now they have Spells
In the 2nd sequel also, Rovio - the maker of Angry Birds, introduce a spell (can be found on level 11 onward), which basically will help you to eliminate the piggies. One of the spell I have found is the golden duck. When you activate the spell by slingshot it, the golden duck will turn into raining ducks, which rain on top of the piggies and then explode.


Level and Stages
The leveling now follows Candy Crush Saga model, instead of seeing just the level number, now you see each level in a pathway.
Each and every level itself may contain more than one stage - minimum 1 level contains 2 stages, so you have to choose which bird to slingshot carefully.


Piggies Boss
On every level of multiples of 5, you will meet the piggies boss.

Defeat him by crushing him with bricks, let him fall from heights, throw him into abyss.


Here is the game trailer:


So...
I, myself, find Angry Birds 2 is a fun and challenging game to play. It's a must have and must play game for this week. It's FREE by the way.

Even though is free to play, this game offers in-app purchases to buy gems which can be used to revive your birds.
This game can be played offline/without internet access, however when first time start the game, the game needs to download some content from the server, so first time the game needs an internet connection and subsequent play does not need to.

Current version 2.0.1 requires Android 4.0 (ICS) and up.

[FREE ANDROID APP] Yahoo! Screen: The Alternative of YouTube + NetFlix + Hulu

Today FREE APP is Yahoo! Screen.



For more FREE APPS or FREE GAMES, visit:
http://android711.blogspot.com/

If you are bored with YouTube, Netflix or Hulu, then consider yourself lucky, because you just found the alternative: Yahoo Screen.

Yahoo Screen is a combination of YouTube, Netflix and Hulu, except the fact that you can't upload your own video to it, however you can personalize your channels by tapping 'Edit' button - at least that what is said on the app description, although on my own test, I couldn't find this 'Edit' button.



There are many categories: Popular, Live, Community, Other Space,  Music, Movies, TV, Celebrity, Comedy, Sport, News, Politics, Finance, Games, Beauty, Travel, Food, Health and even Parenting and so much more.

You can even watch Yahoo original TV series such as Sin City Saints and Community.



Another great thing is, if you can use Chromecast on Yahoo Screen to display the video on your big screen rather than watching on your phone screen, although right now it's working on select contents only.

This app does not offers in-app purchases. However to watch certain channel such as NFL, you need an NFL show account to watch it.
This app needs internet access in order to play the content.
And unfortunately, right now Yahoo Screen is compatible only at US. So if you have non-US device/google account, you can't really download Yahoo Screen from Google Play.

Current version 1.0.33 requires Android 4.0.3 (ICS) and up.

Here is the Google Play Store download link:
