Android Apps that Claim to Help you Sleep

Android has grown from nifty widgets and fancy themes, to providing apps that help in areas health, lifestyle, business, and education. Though these apps somewhat help, and others are very grateful, some are still a failure for others. Some of the most popular of these apps are those that claim to help you sleep.

Sleep as Android

Sleep as Android is an alarm clock with sleep cycle tracker. It gently wakes you up in light sleep for pleasant mornings. Some of its features are sleep graph history, sleep deficit and deep sleep statistics, nature alarms, and lullabies.

The downside: It should be categorized as an alarm clock. Though it has lullabies, and sleep cycle tracker, it doesn’t help much in giving good sleep. It records more silence. You may know for yourself why you can’t fall asleep, but this app would not offer any more help than any relaxing audio.

SleepBot

It’s a beautiful sleep cycle tracker and alarm which also records your movements and sounds during the night. It wakes you up better each morning during light sleep.

The downside: Some reviews said that backing up deletes all records, alarm sets itself randomly, and calculations are wrong. Also, it runs even after you close it, so it consumes juice, making your phone slow, and will eventually kill the battery even before it alarms in the morning. Roughly only 30% of the sounds are recorded.

Relax and Sleep

Audio app that plays more than 35 ambient sounds like thunder, stopwatch, ocean, sea, birds, rain, and crickets.

The downside: There is an annoying pause or ticks in between loops that can take your attention and make you feel even less sleepy. Some loops are also too short, making the loop very noticeable and plain disturbing. Imagine a four-second sound going on and on. Some sounds also start off very softly, then outrageously loud. Also, some sounds do not exactly sound like what they are, and who would like to listen to vacuum cleaner and dripping water?

Music Therapy for Sound Sleep

An android music application based on electroencephalographic to tap the human brain.

The downside: On some devices, if you switch to a different soundscape, the previous would still run in the background. Some sounds are really not relaxing like rowing, paddling, and walking in the sand. The sounds are also not smooth and are too repetitive because loops are too short.

Deep Sleep

Deep Sleep is a tool that lets you listen to 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes of sounds of rain, fire, waterfall, ocean, wind, bird, clock, thunder, and others. It claims to provide 5 times of deep sleep based on an 8-hour sleep.

The downside: The sounds are okay but are not great. These sound loops are too short and noticeable. It also keeps on playing when you don’t want it because it’s not easy to close it unless you force close it. The ads also cover the start button.

Sleep Hypnosis – Relax!

Sleep Hypnosis is specially formulated for listening at bedtime. It allows you to unlock the power of your subconscious mind while you sleep.

The downside: The talking man is fast, annoying, and even creepy for some users. Some people are fine at first until after a few days, they develop gruesome nightmares and when they wake up, they feel so bad. The experience is like someone is trying to brainwash you, so you would really feel very freaked out. The man sounds a bit like a serial killer for a few, too. That is who creepy it is.

Best Mobile Casino Apps that Accept PayPal

If there is a list of the best e-cash transfer service on the internet, PayPal would definitely be on top. One of the best things about this is that it is so easy to register and get started here. If you have a bank account and you can have it verified, you can start using it immediately. They don’t have monthly fees, although they get a measly percentage depending on the type of money transfer and it is one of the safest ways for transferring cash on the internet.

This is the reason it is a favorite among several casinos on the internet and on mobile devices. If you would like to know more about various mobile casinos that accept PayPal, click here.

To help you with that, we have here the top mobile casino apps which are currently linked with PayPal.

Lady Lucks

This is a very famous mobile casino in England and is already considered an online landmark. A lot of people like playing here a lot because the company pays up and pays fairly, aside from the amazing welcome and high cash match bonuses which they provide.

This mobile casino is one of those which are affiliated with PayPal. Their minimum deposit is £10 and their maximum withdrawal per day is £5,500. There are no extra or hidden charges and you can play as soon as you deposit your cash.

mFortune

This mobile casino app is not just a favorite among players but also an award winning one. Apart from the custom-built games that can be enjoyed, it gives players great bonuses which the players can choose to keep if they want to, unlike other casinos which require you to use 30% of your winnings first before you can actually withdraw it.

Banking is so easy with mFortune. They accept credit cards, debit cards and even phone credits for deposit then bank transfers and cheques for withdrawal. They also have PayPal which makes things very easy for most players.

Moobile Games

All casinos on the internet offer practically the same games and game variations; they just have different names. But, it’s Moobile where you’ll find fantastic games exclusive only to it. This may be because it is both licensed and hosted by Probability.

PayPal allows a minimum amount of £10 to a maximum of £5,500 every day. As mentioned earlier, they don’t charge you any fees and your deposit is processed immediately so you can start playing.

Go Wild Casino and Plaza Win Casino

These two sites may not be the mobile casino companies that allow money transactions through PayPal but casino experts believe that they are certainly worthy to play on and considered as among the best.

On a final note, playing casino games on your mobile phone, tablet or any other gadget would be more enjoyable if you are not worrying about the money you have deposited or withdrawing your winnings. There are more casino sites linked with PayPal and you just need to check their Banking or Cash Transfer pages.  An online resource you could check out if you’d like to know more about mobile casinos, download great casino apps and read reliable reviews is www.casinojuggler.com.

Five iPad Apps to Help Enhance Kids’ Learning

Tablets are like their ancestors, the traditional desktop computer – they’re as good for us as we’ll allow them to be. You can use them for everything from chatting with your friends to gambling, browsing the net or firing birds at pigs with slingshots.

In fact, the huge number of applications on the iTunes Store (over 775,000 as of January this year) means that there’s an app for everything. Far from being an evil machine that stops kids from blossoming, the iPad (and tablet computers in general) can bring dull subjects to life through a whole host of third-party applications. Here are five of our favorites.

1 – Phone for Kids

Compatibility: iPhone, iPad

Cost: Free (with in-app purchases)

Available on both the iPhone and the iPad, this free application has been downloaded over six million times and has spent time as the top education app in both the US and the UK. Phone for Kids brings lessons to life through short, educational games, sparking creativity at the same time – the thirty inbuilt games encourage children to sing, draw and play, while teaching them to read, count and to identify shapes and colours, amongst other things. The app will quickly lose its magic for older children, but to a five-year-old, it’s genuinely magical.

2 – Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Compatibility: iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch

Cost: Free (with in-app purchases)

Also by Kids Games Club, the company behind ‘Phone for Kids’, this application provides eight educational activities for young children, from an interactive sing-along to colouring books, puzzles, and memory games that aim to teach children basic directions and orientation, cognitive skills, the ability to count and even the names of the twelve signs of the Zodiac.

3 – Cbeebies Magazine

Compatibility: iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch

Cost: Free sample, £2.99 per issue

Developed by the BBC in support of their popular children’s television channel, this application is aimed at children between the ages of 3 and 6 who want to have fun while learning. The app features a number of CBeebies characters, including Bob the Builder and Pingu, and uses a subscription model with four issues released per year, costing £2.99 per issue or £9.99 for the year. Each issue includes six zones and over fifty activities, as well as resources for parents to show them how to get the best from the app for their children.

4 – How to Draw

Compatibility: iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch

Cost: Free (with in-app purchases)

One for the miniature Picasso in your life, How to Draw claims to be ‘like a personal art teacher’ and offers up step-by-step instructions on how to draw cartoons, animals and even the faces of celebrities for more advanced users. One of the advantages of this app is that it can help beginners and advanced artists alike, although it has an older target audience than other apps and the developer has a habit of cramming in too many adverts. Once the kids have finished their masterpieces, they can be saved to the phone, e-mailed to friends or published on a Facebook page, if they’re old enough to have an account.

5 – abc PocketPhonics

Compatibility: iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch

Cost: £2.49

abc PocketPhonics uses the iPad’s touchscreen technology to help young children to learn how to read and write, providing letter sounds and an outline for the letters that kids are encouraged to draw over. Now featuring a progress-tracking website that provides a view of kids’ progress across devices, the app can even be used by teachers to track the progress of their pupils. One review of the application reads: “My 2-year-old has learned to write, recognize and sound letters and has fun while learning. Can’t rate this app highly enough.”

 

Of course, some parents are understandably hesitant to hand their devices over to young children after recent horror stories of kids spending hundreds of pounds on applications, with a survey from Microsoft finding that British kids spend up to £30.9 million a month on unauthorized purchases.

Parents can combat this by taking simple precautionary measures, by following Apple’s instructions to disable in-app purchases. Of course, it’s also a good idea to only allow children to use tablet computers with adult supervision.

iPad applications can be a great way to give your youngster an extra edge in the classroom, and they can be such fun that they won’t even realize that they’re learning. Just be sure to use your discretion and to test any application for bugs, usability and inappropriate content before you set an inquisitive mind loose upon it.

Have you used any applications to help teach your children? If so, how was the experience? Let me know with a comment.

Google Play Alternatives

Recently, Google announced that its Google Play Store has more than 70,000 apps and games. Even though this seems to be more than enough for most people, there are those users who are constantly looking for other alternatives. If you are one of those who are looking forward to venture beyond Google’s app store, the following are the top 10 Google Play alternatives that you can look into: –

Amazon App Store

Amazon app store is undisputedly the highest profile alternative to Google Play. Besides being the default location for Amazon’s Kindle line of tablets, it is also filled with both low-free and paid apps. It however offers a much smaller selection of exciting apps and games. One of the most outstanding qualities of the Amazon app store is the high quality control standards that it maintains. This means that the apps that are available here are of polished, easy to use and of very high quality.

Get Jar

If you are looking for free apps, then Get Jar is the app store to look into. Here, apps are divided into categories and sub-categories to make it much easier for users to find exactly what they want. This app store that has over 50 million users can also connect with Facebook, and you will find comments, likes and dislikes from on each app from other users. On the downside, the submission process to this app process takes some time, and you will also encounter sponsored recommendations.

Slide Me

This great alternative to Google Play has a very decent user base that outstretches globally. It is an app store that offers both premium and free apps in various categories. All the applications are passed through a quality control process before they are made available in Slide Me. The biggest highlights of this apps store are its global availability, as well as support for various payment options, including PayPal.

F-Droid

At F-Droid, you will find a huge selection of free apps and they all promise no ads, no dependencies and no tracking. If you are an ardent support of the open source movement, then this app store is worth checking out. App developers who intend to release their creations can do so here, but without any expectation of incurring profits.

Appoke

At Appoke, the focus is mainly on social recommendations, which means that there are Facebook and Twitter affiliations. Users can be able to see what apps their friends are using, and also share their opinions on the available apps. Most of the apps at Appoke are free, though users can also earn credits and use them to get premium apps. Users can also buy their favorite apps via PayPal. Although Appoke offers an incredibly user experience, the apps that it offers are quite limited.

Appsfire

This Google Play alternative has over 70 million users, and it even won a double award at the French Startup Awards 2013. There are over 7.2 million apps that have been made available at this app store, and a majority of them are worth checking out.

App Brain

One of the good things about App Brain Android Market is its listing feature. Users can be able to search apps by category, ranking and location. It also enables users to share their favorite apps with their friends through Facebook.

Mobile9 App Store

This is one of the most popular app stores. It provides numerous free and premium apps, and it searches for apps according to the device compatibility.
