Xender, Khan Academy, Photoshop Fix, LuckyTrip, and Path to Luma
- 9 years ago
On this week’s show we have four apps selected by our editors and one community choice to bring you another five fantastic download suggestions. First this week is an intriguing app called Lucky Trip. This travel app offers you a new way to plan a holiday or weekend away – blind chance. Set a budget and Lucky Trip will check Skyscanner Booking to bring you some of the most exciting locations and unique sites for a vacation – you can then book the holiday in-app. So you can be spontaneous and discover new places without having to overthink it or worrying about the planning. Second up we have Khan Academy – an educational app that just debuted on Android. Giving access to 4,000 instructional videos on subjects including chemistry, physics, programming, biology, mathematics, and history, this app is perfect for curious people who love to learn. For example, just grabbed it last week and am no learning about aerodynamics! But it’s not going well. Next up we have Adobe Photoshop Fix – a powerful image editor that will be familiar to all Photoshop fans. This tool makes it simple to perfect your pictures by making parts of an image disappear without a trace, full color retouching, level adjusting, the ability to change facial expressions in selfies, and much more – it even lets you share your creations through Creative Cloud for further editing in Photoshop or Lightroom. Fourth this week we have The Path To Luma, a completely free game. And when I say completely I mean completely – as there a no in-app purchases or ads - at all. But I digress, because even if it wasn’t free, this puzzle game would still be worth a look. You play as a robot known as SAM (which stands for Sustainable Augmentation Model), as it try s to complete its mission to save the galaxy and the Chroma civilization across 20 level. It’s beautiful, with soothing music, and great puzzles – all of which make it well worth a look. And finally comes our community suggestion. Recommended by Oscar Felip via YouTube we have Xender. This little app is perfect for sharing files between devices with ease. Whether you’re using Android, iOS, Mac, or Windows, Xender will let you quickly share your files across up to four devises at time. That’s it, but this week we are changing format oh so slightly. Rather than bringing you the week’s best apps, we are going to move to themed show – and next week our theme is photo albums. So, if you have a favorite app to help you organize and display your photos let us know in the comments and it might be next week’s user selection. I’ll be back next week with that, be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss that – or any of our other videos shows! Bye!
