Dating is something that will never go out of fashion. People have been using the dating apps for a long time. There was a time when there were no smartphones and only internet. Even at that time there were dating websites. However, with the smartphones have evolved and now we have the great dating apps like Tinder. In fact, Tinder is the most popular dating app around the world. Millions of people use Tinder today.

Tinder has many features that make it easy for you to find a match. This is one of the biggest reasons why it is so popular.

In order to use Tinder and find new people, you need a Facebook login. This means that you must have a Facebook account to use this app. But, many people are not comfortable using their Facebook account. So, what are their options? Let’s take a look.

Tinder without Facebook

First of all, let’s make one thing very clear. You cannot login to Tinder if you do not have a Facebook account. There is no workaround for this. If you wish to login to this application you will need a Facebook ID and matching password.

So, this must mean there is absolutely no way at all to use Tinder without Facebook. Yes, that is true. But there is one thing you can do.

You will need to login with your Facebook account to use Tinder. However, it doesn’t mean that you use your original account for that purpose. For whatever reasons you don’t want to use your Facebook account, you can avoid that now. You simply need to create a new Facebook account with a new email address. It will be like a clone of your original Facebook account. You can upload the same pictures as your original account. You can also have the same name. So, the only thing you will not have on the new Facebook account is your friends in the list.


Creating a new account doesn’t mean that you impersonate yourself as someone else. Since you are looking to date, you will want to make sure that you are being honest about it. You are simply cloning the account. You are not misleading anyone on Tinder.

Your original account is also fine

We will tell you why it is okay to use Tinder with your original account. Maybe you are concerned that Tinder will use your personal information and there will be a privacy breach. The truth is that Tinder is a reliable and trusted application and it will do no such thing. There are lots of trusted apps that use your Facebook login

If you are concerned that your friends will discover you are using Tinder, again you need not worry. This is because Tinder does not post anything on Facebook on your behalf. Even if any of your friends is using Tinder, they will not be able to see you. Tinder does not show the Tinder users from your friend’s list. So, again, you will remain undiscovered by your friends.

Most of you have already heard of Pokémon Go, and some of you are even addicted to it. Well, the only way it is possible for someone, in this time and age, to be unfamiliar with this game is if they were stranded on a deserted island for the past four months. But, if you still don’t know what Pokémon Go is, we’ll break it down for you.

Pokémon Go is classified as an augmented reality game released by Niantic Inc. The game is based on walking around and collecting animated creatures from the famous 1990’s series, called Pokémon. The beta for the game was first released in Japan, and after a month the beta spread to Australia, New Zealand and the United States – and that’s when the madness began. Long story short, the whole world started playing the game. Adults, teens, children, all alike, no one missed the chance to relive their childhood experience. To this day, Pokémon GO has been downloaded over 600 Million times.

From the title, you’re probably wondering why Pokémon Go became the reason for so many accidents around the world. Here are some of the reasons why:

Overly Obsessive Players

For some people, Pokémon Go became much more than a game – it was life and death. Reports of trespassing became common after the release of Pokémon GO. However, that’s not the only stupid thing that Pokémon Players do. Now, Pokémon GO has clear instruction about where people should play the game – more importantly where they shouldn’t. People have been seen trespassing private property, airports, army bases, cemeteries, in short, everywhere they shouldn’t be wandering around casually. If you think this is too much, two teenagers almost crossed the American border from Canada, till Border Patrol made them aware of what they unintentionally doing. People are falling off cliffs, jumping in front of cars, diving in front of cars, and these are just some of the accidents that are taking place due to Pokémon Go. This is the reason that several countries have banned this game “to ensure the safety of the citizens”.

Road Accidents

Pokémon has become the reason for hundreds of road accidents where Pokémon Players have been seen violating traffic laws. The game advises the players to be aware of their surrounding at all times. But this isn’t the case. The game is pretty famous all around the world, but it really took off in the US – which is the reason that almost every Police Department in every state of the USA has warned the players to be responsible while playing the game and the following is a clear sign that people aren’t doing the exact opposite.

A man from Baltimore crashed his car into a cop car of all things, while another drove straight into a tree days after downloading that game which lead to him breaking both in ankles along with several other injuries.

Furthermore, a guy in Australia drove into a school of all things while playing Pokémon Go. Fortunately, no one, including the driver, was injured, but the same could not be said for a 72 year old woman from Japan who was killed when a truck driver playing Pokémon Go hit her as she walked down the road.

How to Put an End to the Madness?

Some parents think that if their teens are out playing games, they should be relieved that their child isn’t doing drugs. But this is, in fact, much worse as it is things like these that can actually cost them their lives. Now, you’re probably wondering how you can stop you’re children from playing Pokémon GO, and this is no easy task. You could ask your kids 2000 times that they should play Pokémon, but you never know what they’re doing when they’re out with their friends. But we know exactly what you should do. TheOneSpy is an app that can monitor your teen’s app, not only can it locate your child’s phone and tell you exactly what he or she is doing, but it can also block the game completely. Other than this, TheOneSpy also contains a variety of features that can help parents keep track of their teen no matter where they are and what they are doing. They even provide parents with access to their child’s cellphone in such a way that not only allows them to delete the app when it is installed, but also remove it from the device altogether and keep them from ever installing it ever again.

Image to Word is a mobile app that came out of the Comet-docs workshop some time ago, and it has recently been updated with some cool new features. Here are some of the new and improved aspects of Image to Word mobile app:

• Two ways of converting images - via camera and from your gallery
• No limits on the number of conversions, or size of the file being converted
• Ease of access to the sharing centre
• Optimal output document format - .docx
• Files can be previewed once converted for quick and efficient analysis
• Image to Word allows you to convert screenshots as well as other photos
• You can run conversions while the app itself is not working
• File safety - your files get deleted from the Comet-docs server 24hr after conversion

So, let’s quickly go over all of these changes, and what they actually mean to the user per sec.

You can now convert your files in 2 ways, from the gallery or by taking a photo on spot. This will significantly make converting paper documents easier because you don't have to scan them or even upload/download them. You can simply follow the guidelines given within the app by clicking on Options and then Guide for better results. This will show you the correct way to take a photo in order for it to be optimal for high end conversion.

No limits on the number of conversions and file size is pretty self explanatory. You can convert as many files as you want and they can be as big as you want them to be. Aside from that, once you have converted your file, you will get a preview of the newly made MS Word file which you can see simply by tapping on the converted file. From there you can easily access it, open it in your preferred editing app, or share it via social networks, email, Dropbox, and more!

To add on the previous paragraph, the output format is .docx which is the optimal format for editing standard text files. Which app is the best for editing these files on a mobile device? Well, you probably have your own favourite, but these apps are just some of the one’s we will mention: MS Word, LibreOffice, Quick Office, and basically any similar app that allows you to edit .docx files.


Now, the thing with conversion apps is, not very many of them are known for their powerful OCR engines. However, Comet-docs has licensed one of the strongest OCR engines on the market a while back and started implementing and improving that technology as well so it is pretty safe to say that not many converters are in the same league as Image to Word. However, one thing that makes this app stand out is its hidden feature - converting screenshots. That is right, you can screenshot whatever is on your screen at any given moment, send it to the Comet-docs servers, and your new file will be ready for editing in just a few minutes!

While we are on the point of Comet-docs servers, did you know that you can convert a file, without the app even being turned on? Simply start your conversion by selecting the image you want to convert, and the app will send the file to the Comet-docs servers and from then on you can safely turn off your app and even your phone. The next time you take a look inside Image to Word the file will be converted and you will still have a lot more battery than you would have had using a different app! Also, did we mention that all files you convert get deleted from the servers 24 hours after conversion? This way, your files are safe and secured and you can always count on Comet-docs to respect your privacy!

Image to Word is available on both iOS and Android so make sure you give it a try and let the app’s developers know what you think about it by making a quick review on the App Store and Google Play Store.

The photographic abilities of smart phones today are impressive; no longer does one need to carry multiple devices around for phone calls and photography. A smart phone is definitely not a camera, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get your images as close to professional as possible.

Here are a few tricks:

The photographic experience does not and should not end once you’ve released the shutter button. Exposure, contrast and color balance adjustments can go a long way towards communicating your photographic vision.

Pro HDR Camera lets you enhance your phone’s high dynamic range. Smartphone cameras don't always produce the best dynamic range when shooting high-contrast subjects but HDR apps help balance things out by taking photos at different exposures and then combining them into one shot for a more even exposure.

Capture a quick panorama by just sweeping the camera with Wondershare – point, shoot, sweep in either portrait or landscape mode and then add effects.

Fast Camera for IOS is perfect for sports photography as it allows users to take up to 200 high resolution photos in a less than a minute – up to 800 if you lower the resolution. The app allows you to review your photos and select and save the pictures you want to saving, thereby not wasting memory.

Don’t be fooled, a smart phone still pales in comparison to most cameras – even point and shoot compact cameras. If you’re looking to take great photos, maybe you should hit Intertops pokies online to raise the necessary funds; photography can get extremely expensive. But, with just a few extra dollars, you can enhance your phone’s photographic abilities.

AfterFocus is a fun app that lets you play around with a shallow depth of field, blurring out parts of the image and focusing and sharpening your subject and if effects are what you’re after, then go with the free Pixlr-o-matic app which provides endless filters and additional packs to download for free if you’re not happy with your first collection.

Another great Android editor is PicSay Pro as it’s one of the easiest editing apps available. It’s particularly handy that a thumbnail preview is presented next to each of your editing options and long list of effects.

If you want to save the money of a new camera, invest in a decent app – your photo subjects will thank you for it!

A car not only ups your social status, but also, makes life easier. Owning and driving a car gives you freedom from the vagaries of public transport, the strictness of bus times and expensive cab fares. Also, you can come and go as you please; and travel is much less of a hassle if you have your own conveyance. It is hardly a surprise that for many of us, owning a car becomes a major priority.

Despite the many benefits, having a car does have its issues too. The rising price of gas is the bane of every motorist on the street. Keeping track of the nearest service station is also quite a task. With most of us commuting via private vehicles, traffic hold-ups are a common affair and can leave us frustrated and angry. All these problems, however, fade in comparison to the twin terrors of speed traps and parking.

In despair, motorists have turned to modern technology to reduce their annoyance and irritation. This has lead to the development of many gadgets and applications, specifically meant to be used while driving. These gadgets have been largely successful in making driving a safe and enjoyable experience.

Given below is a list of five must-have apps for your car:

Finding a parking spot, though a hassle in itself is not the only problem motorists have to deal with when they are parking their car. After parking your car in a suitable spot, you have to be conscious of your running meter and recharge it accordingly if you want to avoid a ticket. Also, many of us forget where we parked our cars, so we spend a lot of time hunting through rows of unfamiliar cars looking for our own

This app is the answer to all your parking woes. It has an inbuilt timer which is synchronized with our parking meter, hence, it acts as a reminder when the meter is about to run out. The app also, uses GPS and maps to help track your car when you cannot remember where you parked it.

People are taking control of their health and with all the new technologies constantly coming into the health scene, it’s as easy as 1...2…3 to get and stay fit!

As a researcher for an iPad repair company I’m constantly investigating new apps. Health and fitness is a big passion of mine, so when it comes to the top apps for keeping my health at optimum levels, well it’s a pleasure to bring you the tips and advice I have uncovered during my explorations! I have to admit I use both of these apps myself and can testify to how well they work in my life. Take a glance below for the specifics.

Count Calories the Easy Way

For iPad users, the MyFitnessPal Calorie and Diet tracker is a must! If you’re on a specific type of diet and you need to track your foods, this app can help you get instant access to calories, fat, protein, sugar, fiber, sodium and cabs. The best part is they have over two million foods already in their database. Basically, you pop the food you are about to eat and it comes back with the complete breakdown of nutrition information.


If you eat certain foods often, such as oatmeal and a banana for breakfast of a turkey sandwich for lunch, this app will actually remember your favorite foods making your experience quick and streamlined. The barcode scanner is awesome, if you want to upload a certain food, simply scan the barcode and it’s saved into your favorites list. The best part, it’s totally free. Most apps I searched for actually had a charge for this type of service.

MyFitnessPal has a 4+ star rating and was featured as one of the editor’s top choice for Ipad apps in PC Magazine. I currently use this app and have lost 22 pounds so far! It’s easier to lose weight when you actually have to take a look at everything you eat, so if you need to lose some weight, this app is perfect!

Mix Up Your Workout Routine

Google play has an extraordinary app called Workout Trainer. This app is fantastic if you are looking for something a little different every day. The same ol, same ol is no longer an issue with their interactive workout videos, tutorials and workout programs. Each program is timed and has professional trainers walking you through your workout!


This app is like having your very own personal trainer but for free! Listen to your favorite music while the personal trainers talk you through your workout. There’s also a pro version that you can purchase but it’s not necessary, you can still get some great workouts in the free version. There is even a free fitness consultation that creates a fully customized workout plan.

Target problem areas, work certain muscle groups and create a personalized workout, all in one app. The cool part about this app is it’ll send you a daily workout so your body never gets used to the same workout. This is great because we all know what happens when you do the same movements over and over again...plateau!

No matter if you need to lose a few pounds or a substantial amount of weight, using your iPad or smart phone can help you achieve your goals!
