Basic Mobile Apps And Web Design

Standing proudly among the ranks of Microsoft, Google, and Apple is Samsung, an electronics company with nearly eighty years of history. Samsung originally exported goods solely to China and South Korea, but as time passed, it grew into the well-known tech behemoth it is today.

To achieve its $305 billion earnings, Samsung employs approximately 489,000 people simultaneously, beating out Microsoft, Google, and Apple collectively. The company also spent a whopping $14.1 billion on research in 2015, while Apple spent less than half that amount. This may be related to the fact that Samsung produces hundreds of millions of iPhone CPU chips for Apple, all for the 4, 4s, 5, and 5s models.

For every three smartphones sold, one is a Samsung model. In addition to selling phones and phone parts, the company sells televisions at a global rate of almost two per second. Its impressive 95.8% share in the AMOLED display sector of the market and supervision of eighty total enterprises certainly help it stand out.

With so many big names beginning to adopt virtual reality systems, including Google, Samsung, Mercedes, and even The New York Times, you have to wonder if it’s worth all the fuss. Should we be implementing it into every tech-related feature? To find out, we’ll have to look at the data.

Companies that are using virtual reality in some way or another are bringing in more cash, according to statistics. But the majority of that money is passed on to the creators of the virtual reality gadgets. While brands can hire experts to make an app of their own, it’s expensive to do so - up to $500,000, in fact, and it’s hard to tell if it’ll pay off.

Some brands have completely committed to their portion of virtual reality and hope it gets more attention. After an average start, they’re glorifying the information and staying positive to regain the public’s interest. There’s no surefire way to use virtual reality to intrigue customers and increase sales yet, but Amobee, MediaSpike, and Vertebrae have all stuck with it and have been somewhat successful.

New Jersey Institute of Technology student Amos Dudley managed to 3D print his own functioning braces to straighten out his teeth for only $60.

In an attempt to avoid paying thousands of dollars for new braces, Dudley used his knowledge and materials to create a series of cheap pairs customized to fit his teeth. It wasn’t simple of course, as few things with a 3D printer are.

Dudley first read up on orthodontics to ensure he was creating several sets that would slowly shift his teeth into place. He then made a mold of his teeth for maximum accuracy, storing it in a recycled container and polishing it when it was dry.

Aspiring botanists, you’re in luck - there are now several plant identification apps available for all smartphones. These apps function similarly to the music identification app Shazam, with which users can determine the title of a recorded song they’ve just heard.

The first of its kind is PlantNet, an app that analyzes plant pictures and matches them to the correct global region. Each photo can be categorized based on the part of the plant that’s visible in the photo, including flower, stem, leaf, and whole plant and then searched within the app’s data collection. The information is quite widespread, though Australian greens haven’t yet made the list.

Another cool app is ForestXplorer. Instead of identifying plants immediately, it offers a match based on the user’s answer to questions about the plant’s characteristics. While the app is interesting, it was created by the UK Forestry Commission, meaning only plants that are native to that region can be identified.

A picture recognition app for paintings, drawings, sculptures, and other works of art is in its final stages of production. It allows users to scan a piece, keep an electronic replica of it, and download information about it. The app’s name is Smartify.

This new app will premiere in many famous museums, the Louvre and Wallace Collection among them, sometime in May of this year. Although each participating institution has image recognition systems of their own, Smartify will cover more ground, allowing users to download only one app for thousands of different art pieces. It even draws information from exact photocopies of original works.

All of this was possible for the creators of Smartify due to the predesigned individual apps of each museum; this new app simply collects the data and stores it in one place. After that, it’s as simple as correctly pairing the storage photo with the phone photo.

While the Google-owned app Art Project offers digital visits of famous museums, Smartify searches its data collection in real time when users visit galleries in person. The real difference exists in the overall experience of each app, and Smartify currently has the upper hand.

To help with marketing strategy, every participating museum will gain access to each user’s original location and which pieces they observe the most, all in an anonymous fashion, to get a better understanding of their target audience. Smartify’s developers are keeping their fingers crossed for more artists to make their pieces public so they can be used and promoted through the app.

The biggest issue with releasing this new app is the expected increase in smartphone use during museum visits. For the majority of visitors, galleries are a tranquil, electronic-free experience, and if Smartify is successful, it could very well disrupt that principle.

Problems aside, the new image recognition app is definitely interesting, and while it may hinder gallery visits for some, it will enhance the experience for others.

Everyone with a cell phone has received a call from an unknown number at some point or another. Most of the time, it’s a telemarketer or an automated voice message. Not only are these calls irritating, but they’re also money wasters for all parties involved.

With fast-paced technological advances, one would think the popularity of spam calls would drop, as they were originally after landline owners. Unfortunately, these small organizations have adapted to target smartphones. If you’re assaulted with far too many telemarketing calls, here’s how to stop them for good.

First, put your number on your country’s Do Not Call list. While this doesn’t guarantee an end to all spam calls, it ensures that any telemarketer who cold calls you faces financial repercussions. Let the FTC know about any unwarranted calls you receive so fines can be given to the appropriate companies.

Do you want fries with that ‘Snaplication’? or maybe just a smile. McDonald’s is making applying to work at the fast food chain a snap by appealing to job applicants who use the popular social media communications app: Snapchat.

In Australia prospective hires can send a 10-second video ‘wearing’ a McDonald’s uniform via a Snapchat filter to employers. The global restaurant franchise trendily refers to this initial stage of interviewing as “Snaplications”. The mobile app enables users to make and send videos and pictures which self-destruct mere seconds after viewing. 


We all know that Instagram wanted to get on the same level of success as Snapchat. So to be sneaky but also ingenious, they created Instagram stories. By doing this they have attained about the same success in terms of usage. Instagram has now reached 150 million daily users. But that’s not all. Instagram has included skippable ads into their stories.  We all know how annoying ads can be so this is no doubt a great idea. The social media giant will also be helping out entrepreneurs by providing business accounts with insights and cool features such as replies to their stories. This will without a doubt reach a larger crowd.

Instagram carefully decided to place the stories at the top of the app. This is a smart move because it is probably one of the first things that people are going to see. This is better than creating another app, because that would of course take more time and it might not be as successful.
