Essential Apps BTM brings you low-down on the latest and greatest apps on the market
App: mSecure Password Manager Rating:****
What is it? Fed up of having piles of important contracts for different accounts with the relevant passwords for different companies for different members of the family: cars, rent, mobile phone and school fees? That’s why people love the mSecure app, which securely manages all of your private information. If your phone is lost or stolen, you can rest assured that the app will safeguarded your login details, bank accounts and credit cards, protecting your finances and identity.
The Good: mSecure uses ultra-secure 256-bit Blowfish encryption to protect personal information such as account numbers, usernames, passwords and more. The app features ‘auto-lock’ to protect the app from prying eyes, a password generator to create unguessable passwords and even optional selfdestruct if a hacker attempts to guess the password. It is simple, organised and, most importantly, secure.
The Bad:
Verdict: Very secure. Very secretive. Very safe. App: Deliveries: A Package Tracker
Keep track of your purchases so you know when your product is going to arrive. This app consists of a main list that shows a summary of all your shipments and counts down the days until arrival. You can even select individual deliveries and see exactly where they are on a map. An Apple Watch app is included in the price so you can see the latest updates at a glance. www.bahrainthismonth.com
It will take a few dinars out of your pocket to purchase but you will only have to remember one password instead of the dozens previously floating through your memory.
App: CamFind
CamFind, the mobile visual search engine, allows you to search for anything from your mobile phone just by taking a picture. Take a picture of an animal and discover the breed, take a picture of a product for price comparisons and online shopping, the possibilities are endless. One small glitch in the app is the odd crash now and then, but people love the app too much to let that stop them using it. June 2015 89
