Road Safe Driver: This One’s For The Road!

As per a report published on NHTSA, 10 percent of fatal crashes were reported as distraction-affected crashes!  Those were deaths that could have been avoided.

Admittedly, our phones are big source of distraction while driving, but it is a phone app that can actually double up as your road safety assistant.

The  Driving Control app has a number of features that encourage safety among drivers on the road and is available for Android-based smartphones as well as BlackBerry devices. Here’s how the app ensures that users remain safe on the roads: 

Prevent you from using the phone during driving: A number of accidents that occur on the road happen when drivers are using their phones to make calls, or even worse, send SMS’s. The app ensures that the phone gets locked after a minimum driving speed and that the phone cannot be used during driving. It doesn’t just keep the driver safe, but also ensures that they are not unnecessarily stopped and fined by the traffic cops. The app can also send out an automated SMS reply to any incoming calls the users receives while driving. 

Set allowable speed limit for the drive: Users can set a maximum permissible speed limit using the app. As soon as the driver exceeds this set limit, the app can automatically send out an alert to a configured phone number. This feature lets drivers discipline themselves better to adhere to speed limits and drive responsibly. 

Use when driving or being driven: The app can be used in two modes – a driver mode for those users who drive themselves and a non-driver or public transport mode for users who ride as passengers in vehicles. The app will make the phone’s LED blink in red whenever the vehicle exceeds the set speed limit.

The Uses Of The App

The Driving Control app has many benefits – not only does the app ensure that users drive better and safer on the roads, but can also be used to monitor the performance of hired drivers on how well they can adhere to the rules. 

In addition, the app is an extremely useful tool for schools and parents to monitor if the school buses are following traffic rules and transporting students safely. 

It starts automatically when the user enters a vehicle and one can sign in using passwords to configure the various functions of this app. Users can turn on the SMS alert option in case they wish to notify someone else whenever the speed limit is exceeded or can keep this option off when they are driving themselves and wish to monitor their driving abilities. 

It is an extremely handy app for users who spend a lot of their time commuting on the road. Whether they drive themselves or depend on public transport, Driving Control will help them stay safe on the roads.

Rapid Tracker: Providing Security through Collaboration

We live in disturbing times and trust is a commodity hard to come by.  No matter which part of the world you are in, the newspaper brings plenty of bad news everyday. Makes you wonder, are we ever really safe, right? Probably not, but with a few preventive steps we can ensure that we have more peace of mind and can at least make a conscious attempt to stay away from trouble.


Rapid Tracker is one such app. The app is available for iPhones, Android and BlackBerry based smartphones. It aims to provide security to users through GPS-enabled tracking and collaboration features. It can be used not only by individual users, but also businesses to ensure safety of their employees.

Location tracking features
Real-time location tracking is provided through GPS and the app allows for geo-fencing, setting geo-points and allowing users to do photo check-ins.

The geo-fencing feature lets users set a specified perimeter of area that they consider safe for travel so that whenever they go beyond this region, others in their group can be alerted.
The most frequently visited places can be set as geo-points and users have the option to send out alerts when traveling outside these specified geo-points.

Users can not only share status updates with their group, but also use the photo check-in feature to click and share photos of their locations with others in their group. In addition, users can configure emergency alerts that can be sent out in times of distress to a set number of emergency contacts as well as emergency services.

Collaboration and additional features
RapidProtect is not just a mere tracking app. It has a lot of advanced collaboration features like letting users share photos, weather alerts, in-app chat among users, etc. The app also provides updates about any possible natural disasters that could be expected in users’ locations.

An integrated sex offender search feature lets users learn about all the registered sex offenders in their regions. It is especially useful when users switch to new locations and is currently available only for the U.S. regions.

Users can also log-in to RapidProtect via a web portal to analyze important information about their accounts and app usage patterns.

RapidProtect also integrates fully with popular social networks like Facebook and Twitter to let users post status updates using the app directly to these platforms as well, allowing them to update their friends about their locations.

New features in the app lets users create notes and to-do lists and either share them with the group or keep them personal. A convenient dashboard organizes the various features, making navigation a breeze.

Users can also access their check-in history and message vaults to analyze and deduce usage patterns of the app to configure their app for better security. RapidProtect offers 24X7 customer support so that users always have assistance to solve any issues with the app. The company is planning to release this app for Symbian based smartphones too shortly.

MobiPixie: Enabling Social Photo Sharing

Smartphones are rapidly replacing our favored digital cameras as our travel companions to capture our most memorable moments. For one, they are always with us, no matter where we go. And now that companies are making smartphones with more powerful cameras, it’s no wonder why the good old digital camera remains conveniently forgotten.

Share your memorable moments
Another reason why we love clicking pictures with our phone cameras is the ability to share the images instantly on to our social networks and let our friends know what we are up to almost in real time. And with more apps, clicking pictures on our smartphones is only getting more and more social an affair.

One such photo sharing app is MobiPixie, which lets its users not only share the pictures they click with their social networks or with the general public, but even go a step further and create e-cards using their own images to make them even more memorable.

The app lets users upload the images they click on their smartphones on to their gallery. They then have the option to make the image public so that it can be viewed by other users of this app, or private which prevents the image from being visible to others.

MobiPixie has a social network-like ecosystem, wherein users can add images to groups and share images among other members in the group. Groups are managed by administrator users who have created the group, and these creators can choose to delete groups or even upload images from within the group to various social networks.

Create greeting cards for your loved ones

But what really sets the app apart is that it lets users create greeting cards with the images they have clicked to send out to their friends and loved ones. Users can choose from sending out their creations as e-cards, print cards, double sided cards or even foldable greeting cards.
Of course the users will have to pay for sending out print cards, double sided cards or foldable greeting cards. The flash-based card designing tool offers ample effects to help customize the cards, including choosing the font and the color of the text, background and frame.

What’s new in MobiPixie?
Although MobiPixie has been around for a while, it recently got some new updates and now has more features. One of the best features added on is the functionality that lets users zoom in and out of the images on their screens. There are also new customization effects added to the card design tool, like some new frames.

While the app now allows users to do so much more with their images, we hope the overall interface of the app gets a makeover in the next update. As handy as app as it is, its UI’s colors could be better. Other than that, there isn’t anything to complain about!

Windows 8.1 Launches Digitally October 17, Hits Store Shelves October 18

Microsoft is making its Windows 8.1 launch date official: mark October 18 on your calendars, you devotees of Ballmer and Redmond. That’s when the free update for Windows 8 users arrives in-store as boxed software, according to the official Microsoft Windows blog, and new hardware available in stores will have it installed on the 18th as well. If you’re shopping digitally, you get access to the updated OS a day earlier, too.

The update rollout begins October 18 at midnight New Zealand time, which means 4AM PT on October 17 if you’re operating on clocks located in our neck of the woods, but boxed copies and new devices only arrive the next day. That means Windows 8 users get an advantage of a few whole hours to play around with the new software!

What do you get on the 18th (or 17th, depending)? A redesigned user experience that features a new Start button (which isn’t a Start button) as well as an option to default boot to the old-school desktop, among a number of other improvements like native 3D printer support.
