Workout Bunnies - Update - Android App Featured Review

Workout Bunnies - Update - Android App Featured Review      

We wrote about Workout Bunnies before, here and here. We made no secret of the fact we loved the app. It is a well known fact that our modern life makes it very difficult to stay in shape and we welcome any app that helps people to become fit.

For those who don't remember, Workout Bunnies is a social network that revolves around training, exercises and getting in shape regimes. Users can exchange workout programs, find and socialize with people who make the same training exercises as they do and even contact experts for advice, all in the app.

Well, we wanted to go back to the people using the app and find out how they were doing. Since the whole purpose of the app was to help people to keep practicing, it is only natural to ask them did they in fact keep practicing ...

One of the reviewers who tried out Workout Bunnies has looked for and selected swimming as his training regime. He had found a community of swimmers on the app and they started having 'swimming' meetings every Saturday, every time at another gym. Now they are preparing for their first lake crossing.

Another reviewer had always wanted to do suspension training with TRX. She not only setup a community of people doing TRX training but she also managed to locate a private TRX instructor and now the group meets twice a week with the instructor and do 45 minutes workouts, at the group's homes.

These are but examples but they are a good indication of the whole. Workout Bunnies seems to have found a much needed niche and filled it nicely, creating a very useful app that really brings a positive change to the lives of the people using it.

The most important test for the app, longevity, i.e how much time people keep the app installed on their smartphone has been passed by the app with flying colors. 

We will keep our readers posted about updates and more news about Workout Bunnies.

Hide My IP - Android App Review - Update

Hide My IP - Android App Review - Update

Hide My IP - Android App Review - Update. Hide My IP is a very useful app that does one very important thing, change the mobile device's IP while working with the app into another IP from a specified location such as a country or even a selection of different cities from the United States. The app makes it impossible for anyone to detect the user's real IP.

We already wrote a review for Hide My IP - here and since we at Android Review Center like to go back to selected apps and re-visit them and their users, we though Hide My IP would be a very interesting app to go back to and check on its users and reviewers more than three months after starting to use this app, see how things changed and what added experience they gained with the app.

It should be mentioned that our reviewers are free as to whether they keep or delete the app they get to review so it would be interesting to learn who kept the app and how do they use it.

First of all, we asked the reviewers who kept the app installed what they thought about it stability and bugs, if any. The responses were in general good ones. The app is very stable and has rarely if ever crashed or misbehaved. There are occasions when it has trouble connecting but that is because the remote servers were down. If you wait a few minutes to hours, the server come back online and you can connect.

We asked about support from the developers, as the full app costs money and we on Android Review Center firmly believe that a serious developer should always support his paying customers. Again, we were quite happy with the responses. One reviewer had some trouble with the app and the developer studio helped him through email, while three others received help in running the app.

We also asked about the ease of operation. Apparently, the reviewers all reported the app is real easy to operate, just run it, select the location you wish the app to mask your IP (i.e. from where your masked IP will originate) and that's it, you surf the Internet with no trouble at all. Again, sometimes you have to wait a little while for a server to be free but usually there's no problem at all. 

We also inquired about latency. Did reviewers encounter it? The overwhelming majority of people did not of any latency problem. Surfing seemed almost the same speed with the app running. A few reviewers did report that there was a little slowing down when using specific locations, though they still had no problem viewing clips or playing games.

We also inquired what uses the reviewers who kept the app installed had for it. First and foremost, many users used the IP masking feature of the app to hide their IP when commenting or posting on various sites. Apparently, quite a lot of users are afraid of their boss, wife or even the officials in their country (even in the US) finding out and knowing where and what comments the users remarked.

We should clarify the previous statements. We are not talking about secret agents or terrorists here, people who have done things illegally and are trying to hide from the law. We are talking about regular, normative people who have done nothing but want privacy, to be able to surf the net, comment and write without anyone knowing what they did. 

Another very popular use the reviewers had for Hide My IP was for viewing content. For various reasons (usually commercial reasons), content will sometimes not be visible for users in specific locations, such as Netflix. Hide My IP allows people to view that content by changing their IP to the IP of US for instance.

Some people got into the habit of using the app when buying things online. We cannot be sure at to the value of keeping privacy when buying stuff online, since you have to transfer the seller money and a delivery address, but people who wanted to keep their privacy badly used this app, in accordance with paypal accounts and disposable mailboxes to shop anonymously. 

Last but not least, people who wanted to surf and enter sites and forums that use IP filtering based on location used this app to circumvent the filtering and use the protected sites. 

Our conclusion is that Hide My IP is a very solid app and does exactly what it says, hiding your IP while using it, and allowing different locations from which to assign your IP.

ehelp community by Francisco Yanez - Android App Featured - Update   

We've already wrote a review about ehelp community on Android Review Center but we have a habit of looking backwards are revisiting some of the apps we like the most and that give the most to their users, in the hopes that the reader of this site might find those apps helpful for them as well. After all, this is the reason Android Review Center exists.

Now, the app in question is ehelp community which is after all another type of social networking app, the likes of which we have seen far too many lately. What makes ehlelp community special? Well, for this we must understand what social networks are. 

Let's take some of the biggest social networks existing today, established networks with almost a billion users. It doesn't cost anything to use the network but this is because we the users are actually the PRODUCT, being sold to advertisers with all our private data, such as what we are interested in.

ehelp community is something else, a social network with a purpose and one that will not take advantage of the user and try to integrate with his or her email, blog and cloud storage like other social networks have tried to do.

ehelp community is free and will remain so, and not at the expense of the app selling your info to advertisers or tying in other unrelated services to the network.

Of course, the most important thing in ehelp community is posting whatever you intend to give or trade and the app provides extensive features to make that as exact and precise is possible. The user gets to select the category of his post, from clothes to electronics to jobs and then he or she can fill in the details, starting from location and then specifying exactly the thing or service to be given or traded.

On the other hand, users searching for things may do so using location (which is vital for a global community spanning the world) to category to specific keywords to find whatever they need. This is exactly where ehelp community holds the greatest potential, in maintaining a world spanning and ever growing group of people that are all dedicated to helping others and themselves at the same time.

There is no other social network that is really dedicated to doing good like ehelp community is. The app and the network behind it are based on the age old understanding that doing good for others is doing good for oneself, not only in the abstract metaphorical way but also in the real physical sense, trading and communicating instead of buying things and just throwing them away.

Of course, part of it is the connection to the business side of things, in a good way as various businesses are encouraged to provide coupons and discounts for the community, gaining popularity and a loyal group of customers in exchange.
