Beatport has docked at the Android harbour by launching a new app for those who enjoy dance music. The online music resource recently launched a new free streaming service, which these new apps will compliment. It plans to become the number one destination for not only music fans, but also DJs looking to stock up on tracks.
As Beatport [1] is owned by SFX Entertainment, the app sports a calendar of EDM events with integrated ticket purchasing functionality. Beatport Live provide DJs with a live streaming service and everyone else can enjoy the free unlimited streaming. It'll be an interesting move for the company who has failed to embrace the app development breakthrough mobile platforms have brought to developers
Give the app a try and let us know how you get on.
We last chin-stroked our way through reviewing TomTom's sat nav app in December 2014 , finding it a fine app, if maybe too expensive compared to its free â€" and mostly pretty sturdy â€" rivals.
That was on iOS, but now, just a few months later, TomTom have double-upped the ante, with an updated Android-only (for now) app and a new and interesting pricing plan. So for once, your iPhone-packing chums can look over your shoulder enviously. Well, slightly enviously; it's only a sat nav.
A new way of navigating
Although much about TomTom Go Mobile for Android is exactly as you'd expect, there's something new here: the pricing.
Now pay attention, class. You get 50 free miles of navigation including TomTom Traffic and speed camera alerts every month, for free. So for a lot of users it'll be completely free. Although equally, of course, many users will will find it's not.
After your 50 miles is up, you have the option of taking out a one-year or three-year subscription to navigation, Traffic and speed camera updates â€" it's £14.99 for 1 year or £34.99 for three years.
For most users, that will be considerably cheaper than the current app with Traffic and speed camera data. If you didn't use those services then it's still cheaper for the first two years and then, well, it's not.
If you're a payment refusenik, you will still be able to use the app to browse the map, see traffic on the map, search for POIs and even plan routes, but you won't get turn-by-turn instructions until the month is up and you get another 50 miles of free navigation. It's a freemium app, in short.
Oh, and if you have the previous Android app, you can upgrade to this for 50p â€" the minimum charge on the Google Play Store for an in-app purchase â€" inclusive of a three-year sub. Again, a decent deal.
Features
You'll find this in the Play store as "TomTom UK & Ireland" which is a misnomer as the app offers maps from all around the world, 111 in total â€" all your smartphone (and international data roaming contract) can eat, with speed camera support for the most popular 40.
As the map is downloaded to your phone, you can route for free before setting off. There's the expected address search via address, point of interest or plucked from contacts. You can even add an address to a phone contact direct from the app, which is handy.
Also very slick is a "contacts map" which shows all your contacts on one map: you then pinch zoom in to the pal you want to visit, and then set off. Any destination can be added to favourite routes with a poke. If only standalone satnavs made this so easy.
Route planning can be tweaked via fastest, shortest, most eco-friendly, motorway avoiding and walking and cycling routes, with toll roads, carpool lanes, ferries and â€" randomly â€" unpaved roads avoided. As it's an app, tinkering to imprisonable levels of OCD is encouraged, if you're that person.
"Serena" is your default navigator, but there's a selection of English, Aussie, American, Irish, Indian and New Zealand accents just a free download away.
Load up your app and you're asked to download your map of choice. The UK map is 886Mb, so takes a minute or two to download over a wifi connection. Then plug a menu button and there's a nice, transparent UI overlaid over your current whereabouts.
Performance
Before you start, if you're attached to a network, your map flashes up real time, at-a-glance traffic information, including delays, so you can avoid any red bits. This is enormously helpful as you can pre-plan your route based on live traffic information. And a nice touch is the option to go straight to favourites from the boot screen.
As it's a smartphone app, you can choose between portrait and landscape mode, although landscape mode adds a handy "route bar" that lists traffic incidents, speed cameras or petrol stations further ahead on your route on a y-axis that's scrollable.
Once you're on the road, you'll find that at the bottom of the screen there's a continual reminder of how many miles you've got left, next to a huge "Upgrade" button. The maps are clear, concise and still pretty much best-in-class, with a calming, default robot lady easing you to your destination with well judged directions.
TomTom's class is often evident on Go Mobile for Android. The map zooms in to show your next turn, motorway exits and correct filter lanes are previewed and it's eternally nice to see you breezing past contacts on your map, if you're nearby.
All told, it's the usual classy TomTom app experience, with the usual caveat that a dedicated GPS is generally better at receiving the necessary signal and so less likely to get you lost in town.
Verdict
TomTom seems to have talked itself into an interesting corner with its innovative pricing structure. Regular sat nav users who, for whatever reason, don't have a standalone device may be prepared to pay a small amount every three years. Casual users, by their nature, will generally get it for free. So that's fine.
But what about casual users who make the the odd longer journey â€" the kind where Google maps or a free sat nag app isn't sufficient? These, of course, will hoover up your 50 free miles alarmingly quickly, and then you have to buy a one-year sub. Why isn't there a monthly option?
On the other hand, a fee just shy of 15 quid may be low enough not to alienate that type of potential buyer. We'll see…
We like
It's a real boon that traffic alerts, which usually cost extra, are included, and the overall experience of using the TomTom Go Mobile for Android is good, apart from the effort it takes to write out its unwieldy full name. We're not sure why the graphics have got more cartoon-y on this version of the app, but it's not off-putting as such.
We dislike
It feels like this is crying out for is a monthly purchase option for a pound or two, for when 50 miles isn't enough. We're sure TomTom's done its research, but it seems to us that would be the real sweet spot for this app.
Verdict
This is the best GPS navigation app on Android. Even if the pricing is a bit baffling, we recommend it if you're an An droid-toting fan of apps over standalone sat navs.
Apple says that iOS devices are inherently secure -- that's the stance the company took in its 53-page iOS Security Guide last fall. However, around the same time, opposing points of view were expressed in stories about Xsser Trojans, which can steal data from iOS devices; WireLurker, malware that penetrates iOS security via USB; and forensics experts pulling data off locked iPhones. So Apple's recent decision to pull many antivirus and anti-malware apps from the App Store left some people wondering whether the company was protecting users from misleading apps and junk or leaving devices open to malicious software.
In Apple's favor, its unique hardware, firmware, and software architecture; data encryption; and Touch ID and Find My iPhone features safeguard against most attacks. If you want even more protection and privacy, consider an app monitor, a password manager, a secure folder, and VPN. Here are our favorites:
Trend Micro Mobile Security detects malicious and fraudulent websites vying for your sensitive data, as well as apps that overstep their boundaries. Mobile Security also helps manage your Facebook privacy settings and data usage, and backs up and transfers your contacts across devices.
The simplest Facebook app can have the most complicated permissions. Before you sign away your data, download Secure.me and uncover what personal info a third-party app accesses and whether it's too dangerous to install.
It's a good idea to create unique usernames and passwords for every app and site; otherwise one compromised account becomes the gateway to all of them. But it's a hassle typing in and trying to remember all those logins. Password Manager Free generates, encrypts, saves, and autofills your credentials. It can also encrypt and store account numbers and payment info.
Some photos are meant for public viewing and others are best kept secret. Hide your private photos -- as well as videos, texts, voice memos, and documents -- with Lock Photo+ Video Vault Keep Safe. This privacy app shields your personal files in locked or hidden folders that only you can access.
If you're concerned about family or friends accessing your confidential files, put that sensitive data in McAfee's vault. As an added security measure, if someone tries to break in, the app will photograph the perpetrator and email you their pic.
If you often surf over unsecured Wi-Fi, then your activity may be tracked by advertisers. SurfEasy VPN masks your IP address and location and encrypts your data, so you can browse anonymously, dodge trackers, and unblock location-restricted sites.
