My Recommendations: I wanted to make sure the apps I tested allowed lots of custom routines. Many Apple Watch apps had pre-set routines you have to follow. I work with a trainer, so I wanted to add my custom program. Also, all the apps I mention below record your workouts to Health Kit, saving you time from having to log workouts through the Apple included workout app. Smart Gym Smart Gym isn’t free, but it also doesn’t come crippled....

Download YouTube Premium Video iOS or Android There are no extensions or apps to install to get started; sign up for YouTube Premium and in addition to commercial-free content (a huge benefit for many users), downloading videos is a piece of cake. When you find a video and start watching it, tap the Download button and choose the quality of the video you want to download. Obviously, the higher the quality, the larger the file, and the more space it requires on your device....

Dropbox is aware that many users rely on the Public folder for operating small websites or apps. The company has also rolled out a shared API for developers working with files that need public access.

Opening the secret link will automatically create a Public folder for any new account created after October 4, 2012....

1. Netflix – 1 Month of Free Streaming TV and Movies I first signed up for Netflix about five years ago, back when their main bag was shipping physical discs. Now, Netflix’s massive Watch Instantly library makes it an essential service for anyone with a smartphone, laptop, tablet, Apple TV or other streaming media box. There’s a Netflix app for practically every mobile platform, which lets you watch full TV episodes, movies, documentaries and more on any screen you own....

CDs, Blu-ray, or DVDs Cable TV Thumb Drives With the availability of so much space in the cloud, it’s really not necessary to carry around a USB flash drive anymore. Not to mention, they get lost or stolen, and if you use say, Office 365, your documents are available anywhere via OneDrive. Of course, if we don’t advise storing sensitive files in the cloud — that included embarrassing pictures! Desktop Computer Back in the day, everyone had a big bulky desktop computer and CRT monitor on a desk in their home....

Even if Steve Jobs has expressed his skepticism concerning how useful Flash would be on a mobile device, that didn’t stop Adobe from developing it further. The people that will be the happiest will be the ones using a Motorola Xoom. The new version is a “finished production quality release for Android 2.2 and 2.3 devices and a BETA release for Android 3.0.1+ tablets”, according to the official notes accompanying the download....

When you sign into Google Plus for the first time, it takes you to the welcome page. The welcome page pretty much shows everything that Google Plus can do, and it also notifies you that it is still in a “field trial” rather than beta status. If you took the service at bare-bone value, it is basically a glorified Twitter, but there are 3 unique features that make it stand out: Circles, Hangouts, and Sparks....

I only recently came across the app, and by accident. It turns out that unlike other Android apps developed by Google Inc. (which have millions of downloads), Catalog only has around 50,000. Why so little? It turns out that Catalogs is only available on 10-inch tablets and even then, only if the tablet support the correct resolution. At first glance, the Catalog interface is overwhelming. You’re instantly bombarded with product magazines from a dozen or more stores and brands....

Image | Ben Baranovs Here’s some of the photos Google shared on its Google+ Project Glass stream. From the looks of things, photo quality has improved and the glasses are able to take steady video. Check out this short video clip of a Google Project team member wearing the glasses and jumping on a trampoline. The user is even doing backflips — which demonstrates the steady quality the glasses prototype are capable of....

Nexus 4 Phone First in the line-up is the Nexus 4 Android smartphone. This handset comes from collaboration with the hardware manufacturer LG, despite the fact that Google could have easily manufactured it through it’s self-owned manufacturer Motorola. With a 4.7 inch display the Nexus 4 comes in at roughly the same size as Samsung’s latest Galaxy SIII phone, but is still dwarfed by the the larger Samsung Note II phablet....
