Shifu: To Do & Task Manager

shifu is your smart friend who lives in your smartphone and observes how and when you use your phone. It knows what are the important things that need your attention and when is the right time to show them to you. It’s the Sidekick you always wanted.
It’s a smart To-Do & Task Management app designed from the ground up keeping your smartphone in mind. We believe that existing time management tools are inefficient because they require you to adjust your life to the tool rather than the tool fitting in to your life. Shifu is our attempt to change this.
The traditional approach to activity management requires you to define tasks like this:
• Call Sarah to wish her happy birthday at 2:30 PM.
• Call John at 12:30 PM tomorrow to ask for the money he owes me.
• Buy new t-shirts on the 24th of March.
• Remind me to upload pictures from my weekend Party on Facebook.
But we all know that real life doesn't work like that. Our days can be unpredictable and we seldom know in advance when we will have free time. Shifu takes a different approach in defining tasks. With Shifu we allow you to create your task in a way that mirrors your real life. Now you can define the above mentioned tasks as:
• Call Sarah to wish her happy birthday whenever I have 10 minutes free.
• Whenever I talk to John next, remind me to ask him for my money.
• Remind me to buy t-shirts the next time I visit the shopping mall.
• Upload photos from my weekend Party on Facebook when I am connected to Wi Fi.

Shifu can be integrated with Facebook and Google+. Shifu tracks your context and when it recognises that you have a spare moment, it estimates the free time you have and suggests a relevant daily task.
• Call Reminder: Shifu scans your call log, filters out important phone calls from it and reminds you to return those when you are free.
• Birthday Reminder: Shifu connects to your Facebook account and reminds you to call your friends on their birthdays and does it when you are free to make that call.
• Location Based Alerts (Geo Fencing Alert): You can set Task Items which will show up only when you are near a certain location.
• Phone Call Based Alerts: You can set up alerts, which show up when you are calling someone.

• Time Based: You can create tasks based on the time need to do them. These reminders will show up when you have that much free time.
• Wi-Fi Based Alert: You can create tasks linked to Wi-Fi network. These reminders will show up when your smartphone is connected to the specified Wi-Fi hotspot.
• Automated Cloud Sync: All your Reminders are seamlessly synced across your devices.

Ratings: 4.0/10

Age of Empires: World Domination gameplay trailer released, summer launch confirmed


The first trailer for the new Age of Empires game which will be available on smartphones and tablets is now available for viewing. The video says the game will release in "Summer 2014" but does not give much more detail, about whether this will be a premium or paid game, or which month the game will be releasing in or anything else like that.
The game is being brought to mobiles and tablets through a tie up with Japanese developer K Lab. The game is called Age of Empires: World Domination, and while the trailer that was released does not really show too much about the game play, in terms of story and context at least, it appears to be consistent with the earlier PC games that made the franchise famous.
The small bits of game play that were present in the trailer showed several units on the screen at once, but whether these were individual units of "squads" of units wasn't clear. It did look a lot like the game people loved, but the focus of the trailer was always on the combat side of things; you got to see horses and archers wheeling about and destroying buildings and siege engines, for the most part.
The trailer also promised to let you play as Arthur, Joanne of Arc, Attila the Hun and other figures from history, though the art design for the characters looks far more like anime than the earlier games characters ever did.
The game will be released worldwide in English for iPhone and Android-based phones, "with plans to release the game in other languages and on a Windows Phone in the future," a Microsoft spokesperson had said earlier.
You can see the full trailer below.

CameraCast for Chromecast

CameraCast puts pictures you take with your camera on your TV.
After you connect to your Chromecast, each time you tap the screen, the current image will be sent to your TV. Connect more than one device to the Chromecast to see pictures from all devices at once. Not only can you see all images on the Chromecast, but you can see the most recent images from all other connected devices on your own device (this is off by default; turn it on in the settings).
CameraCast is ad-supported. Purchase the unlocker to get these additional features:
● No ads!
● Auto-shutter: automatically send a new image to the Chromecast every second, every five seconds, etc.
CameraCast can be used for all kinds of things:
● Use it as an image projector at home or in the classroom!
● Use auto-shutter mode to watch a certain area, like the nursery at nap time or the front door for a delivery!
The camera uses quite a bit of power, so if you are using auto-shutter mode, you will likely want to connect your device to a charger.

Ratings: 3.8/10

Kochadaiiyaan games review

Movie-videogame tie-ins used to synonymous with low quality, and the shift to mobile for tie-in games has largely been a good thing, since the shorter time and budget available for developing these kinds of games is a good fit for the mobile space. As tablets and phones get more powerful, that's going to change, but for now, mobile games based around movies have been seen as a reasonably good fit.
In India however, mobile games based around movies have been about as bad as the console games based around movies. When you look at movie games over the years, you can see slow improvement from the days of something like Ghajini to the new Dhoom 3 game. The latest two such games are based around the Rajinikanth starrer Kochadaiiyaan; both have been made in collaboration by Gameshastra and Hungama, and continue to show how Indian games are slowly improving. Both games are free, but ad-supported, and also include in-app purchases. Currently available only on Android, versions for iOS, Windows Phone and also Facebook are being developed.
Kochadaiiyaan: Reign of Arrows
Given what we've come to expect from Indian developers, the game is surprisingly high quality. The idea itself isn't very new, but the execution is pretty good. It looks a little chunky, and when you compare it with a game like Frontline Commando or The Collectables, then it looks terrible, but compared to the average game, Reign of Arrows is a pretty good fit.

This free Android game is a third person cover shooter; you're controlling Rajinikanth's character and you have to single handedly destroy an invading army that's trying to take over your home town. There's a sea of enemies that keep marching up as easy arrow fodder, which keeps the game quite busy.
Movement is extremely limited - instead of freely running from point to point, you tap on pieces of cover to take up the most advantageous position. You can use special powers like the Reign of Arrows, which is, well, a rain of arrows; other special shots are cheaper and you'll also get them more often, such as explosive arrows and split shots.
One thing that's a little off putting is the strange product placement in the game, particularly considering that it's also ad-supported. There are health potions that you can have to recover from being hit, which are called - "Aegon Religare Health Potion".
The game plays very straighforwardly; get into cover, tap enemies to shoot them, and use your special powers when needed. Between ads between levels, you're able to upgrade your armor and attack abilities, and purchase power-ups. It's a well established genre that works pretty well on the mobile, and the art style and overall visuals look good.
Some of the animations look funny, but it's not a big issue - the main problem with this game is the aggressive monetisation tactics, which range from product placement to in-app purchases to a lot of ads. Despite that though, it's a pretty fun game, and it's free.
Kochadaiiyaan: Kingdom Run
This side scrolling auto-runner is a little bit more of a problem than Reign of Arrows. The fact is that the genre has been very thoroughly exhausted by now - many of the best early games on mobiles were sidescrollers, before the slew of Temple Run clones took over.



As a result, there's nothing Kingdom Run can do to feel fresh. Add to that the fact that the animations don't feel fluid or natural, and the game starts to feel dissatisfying. With Reign of Arrows, the focus is usually on the faraway enemy, and people move a little, then get into cover, and so the flaws in animations get concealed.
Here, you're running up close and personal, and when that feels jerky, when your character's model clips through the geometry, and when the precise dimensions of the platforms underfoot and your character are unclear, then it breaks the immersion.
If you're willing to put up with what is only a very average game for the sake of the IP it's been wrapped with, then you're probably going to enjoy Kingdom Run, when you find the gaps between ads. The game is quite gory - as you run and jump across different levels, you're confronted by a host of bad guys, and you're going to fill them up with arrows as you dash past.
There are special weapons, power ups, and upgrades to purchase along the way, which will keep you interested in the game. It's well thought out, but the execution is sadly lacking.
Overall, this is true for both games, but platformers are a more thoroughly exploited genre and that is why the problems feel more pronounced here. The game has the same kind of monetisation as Reign of Arrows, which can be a little tedious, but again, the game is free, and is certainly a step in the right direction




Jelly app: First impressions



Jelly is an app for when you walk by a tree and want to know what type of tree it is, so you snap a photo of it and ask your Facebook and Twitter friends.
Jelly is an app for when you wonder if you should trim your beard, so you snap a photo of said beard and ask your Facebook and Twitter friends.
It's an app for asking what sights you should see during your next vacation in Budapest and Bratislava (ask Jelly if you're wondering where that is). It's an app to take a photo of a bottle of Knob Creek bourbon and ask people whether you should drink some if you have a sore throat.
Jelly comes from Twitter Inc. co-founder Biz Stone, who unveiled the app this week.

How it works
Download the free Jelly app on your iPhone or Android mobile device. It's easier to find by searching "Jelly Industries." Connect the app to your Facebook and Twitter accounts.
To ask a question, take a photo, use one you've already taken or find one in Google images. Ask away. The query will go to people in your Facebook and Twitter networks, provided they also use Jelly. Your friends can also forward your question to their non-Jelly friends.
To answer questions, tap the icon on the top left. Questions will appear one by one. You can swipe the question away forever, star it to see what other people say, answer it or forward it your non-Jelly network.
But why?
Sure, you could do all this on existing social networks, or on services such as Quora, which lets users query people with first-hand experience. In fact, I got advice on reviving a dead plant simply by posting an image on my regular Facebook feed.
But Jelly extends your network by pulling in information not just from people you know, but the people they know.
Stone says Jelly seeks to prove that no matter how sophisticated computer algorithms become, "they are still no match for the experience, inventiveness, and creativity of the human mind."
Hands on
In the few hours I spent trying Jelly, I asked a half-serious question wondering when our office bathroom's hot water will be turned back on and got some half-serious feedback. It was fun to answer someone's question about what to do in Budapest, where I'm from. I sent a couple of answers and got a note back saying "Thanks!"
I don't see using Jelly every day, but I'm not deleting it either. It could come in handy while bird watching, walking around a new city and, well, who knows.
