Android App Ideas

Review for Android App : BookMyShow

BookMyShow is one of the best website for booking tickets and passes for movies and lots more. They have released an app for solving this purpose on mobile phones as well.

This time I have reviewed the Android App and checked how well it fits on the ground. 
Last Year when i was near Mumbai, i wanted to watch a movie, i downloaded and used this app, the app was nice and very user friendly but i couldn't make-it to the show as my route was diverted from Pune to New Delhi

What it does? :

You can get tickets prices, tickets and schedules for:

• Movies
• T20 Cricket
• F1 Races
• Arts & Auctions
• Plays & Concerts
• 
  How it works?
  Whenever you open the app, it gets the splash of BookMyShow with different icons on it.
  And then comes on to the main screen of the app,
  

  

The way this app helped:

Step 1: (Select You Mood) 

I have chosen Movies from Home Tab, 

which has four major categories:

First is MoviesSecond is Arts & TheatreThird is SportsAnd the Fourth which is about to come: Events

You can choose any option according to your own choice.

At the bottom of the screen, there are four tabs:

        1. Home: takes you back to this screen.

        2. Booking History: where you can see past transactions

        3. Help: complete and extensive help in case of refund and other queries

        4. About Us : Version Description

Step 2: (Select The Watchables)

Next screen is the different types of the movies available. I have selected my location from the top right hand corner and the movies came listed on the same page.

Step 3: (Your Place, Your Time)

Third is the Date and Showtime chooser on the same page you can find the ratings and cast info of the movie you selected in “MoreInfo” tab.

Step 4: (Check your Pocket-Size)

Select the ticket Category you want to choose from here whichever is available in the Cinema Hall you have chosen.(As per the rules its not legal to show the prices of a category)

Step 5: (Select your own Viewing Angle)

Different colors are given to different status of the seats. 

Step 6: (Payment Page) 

Several options to pay ranging from Credit to Cash Card.

Step 7: (Happy Viewing)

Once done with Payment, You’ll get a ticket number and Transaction Id for the record within the app, on the Mobile Number and e-mail address you have mentioned at the time of payment.

You can also make these kind of applications in our Hands-on workshops conducted throughout India, stay in touch and get benefited.You do have a Developer in you, All you need is a guidance and proper care. 


Signing-off now,
will come back with more reviews and new on Android Application Development.

Camera. Reborn

Samsung Galaxy Camera has just been unveiled. Our reviewers had a little hands-on time with the new Galaxy Camera, and the first thing that strikes is that this is a capable, high-quality point-and-shoot. The device feels extremely solid and well built, and the 4.8-inch HD SuperLCD display is of similar quality to the S3's.

We shouldn't forget that this is a camera powered by Android. Samsung has put their latest version of the Touchwiz Nature UX on there, based on Android 4.1. Yes, that's right, this is a camera running Jelly Bean. The possibilities with a connected camera are pretty exciting, and we're seeing the start of a whole new category of devices. 

Of course, image quality remains to be seen. However, with a 16-megapixel sensor and 20X optical zoom, Samsung looks to have created a compelling alternative to smartphone cameras for those looking to graduate from the world of smartphone photography.

Make free Calls From Android Devices With Groove IP

Add caption

GrooVe IP is an android app that connects to Google Voice using Voice over IP (VoIP). What this means for you is you can make free unlimited calls to any phone in the US or Canada without using your voice minutes. GrooVe IP works on any android device, phone or tablet, and allows you to make calls using the device’s data (WiFi or mobile data) connection. If you have a smartphone with Wi-Fi connectivity but no mobile plan, you can use this app to convert it to a free, full-featured working phone.

The quest for making free calls over WiFi with an Android device is not a new topic, but if you’ve gone down this road you’re probably familiar with apps like sipdroid or csipsimple. If those two names are familiar then you also know you had to deal with Google Voice Callback, pbxes, or SIP accounts and possibly some other forwarding trickery to get the app to work. It’s possible that you’ve even tried to set these apps up and failed after not understanding exactly what needed to be done. Enter GrooVe IP, where all you need is a Google Voice account to get started. If you like simple and something that just “works” and works well, hit up the break for more.

GrooVe IP works similar to making calls from Gmail by connecting directly to Google Voice to make and receive calls. This means that all you’ll need to use the app is a Google Voice account that is linked to a Gmail account and you’re good to go.

After installing GrooVe IP, you’ll simply need to login with your Google Voice credentials. You’ll also need to go into your Google Voice settings and check off forwarding to Google Chat. Doesn’t get much easier than that right? It’s recommended that you sign out of Google Chat  or Google Talk while using the app, but leaving Google Talk signed in on my Android device never posed any issues. I also have my Google Voice number forwarded to other places besides Google Chat and this posed no issues when receiving a call.

You’ll have the choice of either using GrooVe IP’s dialer or your native dialer to place calls. When using your own dialer, you’ll be prompted to use GrooVe IP or the mobile network itself. Personally, We prefer the look of the native dialer and there didn’t seem to be any loss of functionality by doing so. Incoming calls however will use GooVe IPs system, but there is nothing wrong with that system as everything from the dial pad to options like Mute and Blutooth worked as expected.

Generally, Many of you are facing of speed over 3G/2G services.So, we suggest you to sick to WiFI calls quality for review purposes. A feature that We have found very useful of this app that if 3G calling is turned off within the app (which it is by default), GrooVe IP only connects when WiFi is connected. GrooVe IP connects and logs in once a WiFi signal is connected.

You can also set a preference for your native dialer to always use GrooVe IP to place a call if you are connected to WiFi. The call quality would absolutely be fantastic.

A last huge positive for this app is that the developer is very active in both communication and app fixes. Also note that since GrooVe IP is connecting directly to Google’s servers, both incoming and outgoing calls will use your GV number.

So, if you’re looking for a solid calling solution and want to just log in and call, then this is the app for you.

You can download this app here. It’s lite version is free to use. But if you want to use all functionalities than youcan doby the QR code below.
