If you hate zombies but love The Walking Dead comics/TV series, you might want to check out “The Walking Dead: Season One” that has been launched on Android.

The first episode in the game is free to play, but the other four will have to be purchased within the app for $4.99 each. or, you could save some money and get all four of them together for $14.99.

Adobe’s popular photo editing solution Lightroom has been launched for iPad on the Apple App Store. It’s not a full port of the PC version, meaning not all features of the PC version of the app are available. However, the important ones are included with touch optimizations. The app allows to edit files that are available on the cloud or locally on the tablet. The changes are then synced across all device, meaning you can resume on your PC/Mac from where you left on the iPad and vice verse. Lightroom for iPad allows you to:

  • Edit and organize images anywhere, anytime on your iPad*
  • Enhance everything from smartphone photos to raw images from DLSRs using powerful and familiar tools
  • Automatically sync all of your mobile edits with Lightroom 5 on your desktop
  • Easily share your photos

Lightroom is available for free and comes with a 30 day free trial after which you’ll need an Adobe Photoshop Photography Program subscription, costing $9.99/month and which also includes Lightroom 5, Photoshop CC, and Behance Prosuite. Adobe has also promised an iPhone and Android version in the future.

You can grab the app for iPad 2 and later in the App Store here.

And among several other things, you’ll now be able to detect magnetic fields with your Windows Phone using Magnetic field detector. You won’t be able to detect landmines using this app, but it’s great nonetheless.

Using your phone’s built in magnetometer (which is used primarily for GPS), the app can enable your Windows Phone to detect . You can use it to find what things around you are made of.

Sounds cool? Grab the app in the Windows Phone Store for $.99 here. Sadly, there’s no trial for the app.

Top Paid app on Google Play Store ‘Virus Shield’ a fake

Top Paid app on Google Play Store ‘Virus Shield’ a fake

virus shield

 

While Google’s open door policy has many advantages, it comes with its own share of risks. Some apps published on the Play Store are not only fake, but pose a serious security threat by compromising the data on the phone and tapping into the messages and the call history. A recent such example showed up in the form of an app called ‘Virus Shield’. The app claimed to be an antivirus program that could protect the phone from malware, spyware and such. It even claimed to boost your phone’s speed by one touch. The $3.99 app quickly climbed to the top spot on the ‘Top Paid’ list on the Play Store. In the two weeks that it was listed, the app managed to get 10,000 downloads with a 4.5 star review from 1,700 people.

However, as discovered by Android Police, the app is a fake. the only thing it does is change an “X” graphic to a red “check”. It doesn’t really offer any kind of security and was created by a scammer who had earlier been banned from another website’s forums for similar reasons. Google has since taken down the app, but the users who’ve purchased it already have been robbed of their money, unless Google steps in and pays them a compensation.

This does raise questions about how effective Google’s strategy with Android is. With Microsoft also having automated the process of app approval on Windows Phone Store, it seems no one except Apple users are completely safe from such crooked schemes.

Video sharing app Vimeo has picked an update on iOS taking the version number to 4.0.10. Among the changes, the biggest is the improvement to its search. The earlier difficult to spot search bar has now been placed at the top of the display permanently. With the earlier version, search bar had to be pulled down from top of a feed.

Upon swiping to the left, a video will be added to Watch Later list and downloaded on the phone, while a swipe to the right will allow you to like and share it. Vimeo has also addressed some playback and networking bugs in the latest update. The team promises to improve the experience even further in the coming days. Here’s the changelog:

  • Copious convenience: Now you’ll see the search bar right at the top of your screen!

While casual photographers find Instagram to be suffice for touching up their photographs, users looking for something more professional and advanced have to look at other alternatives in the App Store. Among the umpteen such apps, Photo Toaster is one which has been received favorably by the crowd. The app has picked up an update bringing some big changes along. Here’s what the new version 6.0 has to offer:

  • the album picker has been replaced with a custom photo picker that has a larger thumbnail size and allows for zooming in on photos before using them
  • tint is now shadow and highlight tint to allow for split toning
  • sharpen is now detail and can sharpen or soften depending on direction ( the algorithm has been improved to provide a better result particularly with larger values)
  • the blur vignette has been separated from the brightness vignette so that each can have it’s own size
  • shadows and highlights can now go in either direction so you can darken shadows and lighten highlights (the algorithm was rewritten for a higher quality result)
  • there are several new global presets that make use of some of the changes
  • the FX brushes has a new option for soft focus, this can be helpful for removing wrinkles or blemishes
  • precision sliders are used in some cases and activated by moving away from the control to allow for more precise adjustment
  • custom size for crop and save

The good thing about this app is that $2.99 buys you everything and there are no more further in-app purchases to unlock any features. The app can be picked up for iPhone, iPad and iPod in the App Store here.
