Earlier today, Koushik Dutta’s latest app, Vysor was leaked by someone on Reddit. Koush is being a good sport about this and providing insight via Google+. Nonetheless, I feel it is important to say a word or two about what it means to be a tester. When someone asks you to test their product, whether […]
Forecast.io has quickly become my go to weather source. Ever since a friend pointed me to the site I refuse to use any other source for the latest outlook. While it’s very iOS-esque and only has an official app for Apple products, the simple clean look works quite well. The interface is not the most […]
After only three days of exposure, Amazon has had Primecast blocked from use. From what I understand it was restricted via Amazon’s backend. That means there was no legal action taken against the Primecast developers or threats of action. The developers have taken the app down of their own volition. Contrary to what was written […]
Gmail is now welcomed to the material design family with their 5.0 update which was released today. It’s everything we love about Gmail with an all new beautiful design and exchange support, which does come from a separate APK but more about how to get those later in the post. While Inbox has become […]
Material design has taken over Android and we are seeing it in more and more applications each day. According to a leak at Droidcon by a Google employee we should see the Gmail app updated to material design beginning next week. We shouldn’t be surprised to see a staged rollout like previous versions of Gmail […]

Check the lists of best Android SMS apps and what do you see? A lot of apps that do the exact same thing, with almost the exact same appearance with a different name attached. Now don’t get me wrong, there are some SMS apps out there that have different features, or a different look and […]
Have you ever wished that your volume buttons did more than just adjust the volume or act as a shutter button in your camera app? No? Well me either, until I realized that the volume buttons could do much more. This is where the app QuickClick comes in, allowing a slew of options for you […]
So for the last week or so I have been using a very different third party Twitter app (sorry Fenix), and I have really enjoyed it. Usually a new Twitter client comes out and it uses the same features of all the rest and doesn’t bring anything new to the table. That is NOT the […]
This week I have been testing out a new encrypted email app called Virtru. I know what you’re thinking, another email app with encryption, big deal. Well, this one happens to have some key features and a major plus in the developer department. Below is a description of what the app does. Former National Security […]
I’ve been playing with Pushbullet now for a little under a week. This newcomer has really impressed me by adding utility and saving me footsteps. Here’s a peek at what it does and how it’s making my life simpler. It’s good to remember Pushbullet is in beta, and as such new things may be added […]
On Android we are blessed with umpteen tuneup apps but when one comes from such a company as AVG I wanted to give it a good run, and I wasn’t disappointed. What’s in this version: New from AVG! A lean and slick app that lets you take control over your phone or tablet’s performance. Over […]
Despite several sites posting that Google will not retain Google Keep, as it’s just a development tool to be used in future applications. It now seems that Google will develop Keep as they have received good feedback from users. I’ve been playing around with this little tool and over the last week or so found […]
Catch is a free note-taking app designed to make sure you never miss an idea. It lets you capture ideas and discoveries across all your devices and when you’re ready, turn your ideas into action with friends and colleagues using simple, mobile collaboration. With Google having Google Keep out I’m not so sure if Catch […]
Various users of Facebook for Android have been reporting that the app has been trying to prompt them to apply an update (Build 141046) without going through Google Play. It seems that this happens via a notification, and if you click on it, you are taken to the Facebook app. There it allows you to […]

A new statue put up by Google!!! It’s Android and a new version!!! Not quite, no. With Google I/O coming very soon maybe this is a little hint. What you see above is an Android statue on the Google campus. The Android Community Manager Paul Wilcox, posted a photo of the new chrome sculpture earlier […]
Recently Tin Man Games have converted one of Steve Jackson’s classic Fighting Fantasy novels in to a “digital fighting fantasy game book” and they describe it as “an interactive adventure in which YOU are the hero”. Fans of these types of books are more than familiar with the concept.  Originally the books allowed the reader to participate in the […]
Tis the Season and we all love a good bargain, so here are some of the offers we’ve stumbled across in Googles Play Store: 1) Office Suite Pro down to $0.99 (£0.61). We think this one will only available for a limited time though as it normally carries a hefty price tag. 2) Gamelofts Wild […]
Those of you who are faithful fans of Apple have had Viddy for a while now but alas for the Android fans amongst us we need wait no longer, it’s finally available in the play store to download (for free). It’s another social media type application, yes another one for you to keep up to […]
When it comes to third-party keyboards Android has it pretty well covered, however, there are only a few that repeatedly get recommended over and over, SwiftKey being one of them. SwiftKey have just released their first public beta of their new ‘Flow’ keyboard and we at Land Of Technology were lucky to have had some […]
AnTuTu have just released v3.0.2 on 30th November which was on the back of v3.0.1, four days prior. Many users have said that benchmarks are worthless and only real-world testing by the user, can give you a true measure of a device. Benchmarking allows direct comparison between devices using standardised tests. If there’s a way […]
What is a Twitter addict? Would it be one who is in and out of it all day long? If you answer Yes then I confess I am addicted to Twitter. I am equally addicted to Twitter apps on other platforms, and can’t resist trying them all out. There are no shortage of Twitter apps […]
Nothing upsets a perfectly good holiday like an SD card crashing in your phone and you losing your videos, with Aunt Ethel’s awful excuse for a Dundee Cake being a close second on that list. It absolutely sucks when all of those memories fly away in a blink of an eye. Sure, you can manually […]
Android 4.2 is here and it’s been received with mixed feelings. I have it on my Galaxy Nexus and although I love it, I can see and have replicated a lot of bugs. One feature that has been introduced in Android 4.2 is the lockscreen widgets. Now some would call this a bug, simply bugging […]
 Ever since Google launched Google Music in the US we’ve been wondering just how Google managed to secure the licenses, especially when Apple have such a firm hold with iTunes. However, whatever they did, they managed to get it done and Google Music has experienced some success in the States, thanks in part to its Music […]
