Star Wars: Commander





The game has a lot similarities with COC. You have your droids which is the equivalent to builders. Just like COC you need droids to make and upgrade buildings. You would also need gold and alloy for the upgrades.



Main difference is that you could sides. It is either you join the rebel alliance or align yourself with the empire. Choose wisely since you can't switch sides unless you restart the game.





They have a squad the equivalent of clan in COC. But I yet have to experience a Commander "clan war". I have join a squad but haven't been part of one. I am actually not sure if there is one.
I'll you posted as soon as I learn more about the game.

App review: Flappy bird

You may be wondering why some of your friends are posting weird cryptic messages in social media and seems to be offensive messages. There is only one thing to blame.

A new game called Flappy bird is starting to become popular and causing some of your to develop anger issues.

The rules of the game is simple. Tap the screen for the bird to go up. But take note. You must learn how to control the speed of bird's rise and fall. And most importantly avoid hitting the pipes or the ground.

Currently I just reached 8 points and can't seem to pass further. Very frustrating indeed.

What are your thoughts on Flappy Bird

Clumsy Ninja App review

I am not into playing games with my smartphone but there was this one game that a friend was playing that got me really intrigued. He was playing this game called Clumsy Ninja. At first I thought I would find boring and would not be interested with the game but after a few minutes of playing it I got hooked. The game is funny and it was light. Great for playing during my 1 hour break. The only problem is that it is available in IOS.

I tried searching for it in Google Play but it was not available. I was also looking for a Clumsy Ninja Apk download but all on the sites that I found doesn't have an active download link. I saw that it was also called Gauche Ninja. But all the links for Gauje Ninja APK download was all busted as well.

I hope they do make an android version of this game. If anyone is aware of an active link for Clumsy Ninja android version download, please let me know.

Sony introduces bluetooth camera lens


You've heard about bluetooth headsets right? Well get ready for bluetooth Camera lens. Yup! Sony has taken digital imagery to the next level. There are two models so far. The Sony Cybershot QX100 and QX10. These lenses are compatible for Apple or Android phones.



The DSC-QX100 is equipped with a 20.2 MP Exmor R CMOS. It also packs Carl Ziess Optics and has optical zoom up to 3.6 times.The other model DSC-QX10 is only equipped with 18.2  MP Exmor R CMOS. The main difference is that has 10x optical zoom capability.

The camera lenses doesn't have to be attached to the smartphone to operate. Although Sony has included a adjustable clip for easier use. Get ready to take your selfie to the next level.  It is has it's own stand alone shutter buttons and can be operated independently without using any smartphone. It is also equipped with Micro SD slot for storing your photos.

 Since I first heard about the bluetooth camera lenses I was pretty excited. I have wanted to invest in a camera but I don't want to spend that much in a DSLR camera. Besides I am just starting to learn photography and buying a DSLR camera is not yet a priority. This is also a great because I am not satisfied with the built in 8 MP camera in my Alcatel One touch Idol. The front camera is also any issue. The front camera is not suitable for video chat if the room that you are in has poor lighting. These lenses might be the solution.

The QX100 is now selling at P23,499 wike the QX10 is marked at P10,999 in the Philippines. What are your thoughts on the Sony Bluetooth Camera Lens?

Plants Vs. Zombies 2 english version is now free in Google Play


I was pretty excited when I heard about the new installment of Plants s. Zombies. The Chinese version of the game was released several months ago and I was able to get a copy. But since I couldn't understand the instructions, I had to wait for the English Version. 

The long wait is over. I was able to download the Plants vs. Zombies download for free. I am now testing it. They have added a map something similar to Candy Crush. I am still checking it out but so far I have encountered new zombies and plants. Will let you know soon about the results of the testing.

Android app Review: CSR Racing


 CSR Racing is a Drag Racing game available for free download in Google play. It is easy to play since there is no steering involved. There are only keys needed while Racing: accelerate, decelerate and nitro. 





There are 5 Tier. You would need to beat the crew members before challenging the Crew leader. To advance, you would need to beat the Crew Leader thrice. There are other types of races as well: Restriction, Manufacturer, Car Specific, daily battle, ladder and Regulation.





Restriction races would require for your car to meet a certain criteria like minimum weight to qualify for the race. Manufacturer races would require a car from a specific car manufacturer. For Daily Battles, a car would be loaned to you. The would be three races daily. Car specific would require a specific to be able to qualify for this type of race. Ladder would require a car of same Tier Level. For Regulation, there are three modes: rookie, amateur and pro. You may use any cars for the regulation races. However it would be difficult to win races if you use a lower Tier level car in higher level Tier regulation races. Race distance is either 1/4 mile or 1/2 Mile.

You could also purchase upgrades. You could upgrade your gear box, engine, Turbo, Nitrous, Intake, Body and Tire. If you buy imported parts (which are normally stage 4 or 5 car parts), you would have to wait for it to be delivered. But if you have gold coins, you could waived the delivery time. 

You could purchase car from Manufacturers like Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Ford, Mini, Nissan, Pagani, Bentley, Dodge and Mclaren.  

You could purchase cars or car parts with cash of gold coins. You could earn cash by winning races. Gold coins could be gain when you level up, beat crew leaders and even sometimes anonymous donors would give you cold coins or cash. 




Overall the game is great. Although I wish I do some steering. Maybe I'll try to download a need for speed game for android. What are your thoughts?

Apple and Samsung doesn't own the Smartphone world

I think a lot of people would agree with me that in the Smartphone world, small Smartphone makers can go head to head with giants like Apple and Samsung. Three years ago it is a different story but today brands like Huawei, ZTE, and HTC are slowly getting a piece of the market. Here in the Philippines brands like Cherry Mobile and Myphone are offering budget phones that could compete in terms of features against the Smartphone giants.

I honestly considered buying one of the Myphone model, A919. Why do you ask? It has a 1 GHz dual core processor, 5 inch screen and an 8 megapixel camera. On top of that you could insert 2 sim cards and use it simultaneously. The price is below Php8,000. That is a good deal with all the features that it has.

 Do get me wrong. I think Apple and Samsung phones are worth it. That is if you could afford them. But for those who can't there are lot of smartphone makers out there that you should consider. 

Nokia use to dominate the cellphone market before the release of Smartphones, They have been trying to win back the piece of the market that they have lost. They have recently release Windows phone in an attempt to gain the trust of their customers, but gaining the lead in market would not be as easy as it use to be especially small company or start up company has joined the smartphone bandwagon. 

Personally I don't think the brand matters. What matters is the features that the Smartphone offers. Some may still give a lot of weight with the brand but why spend all that money if you buy a phone with all the features that you need for less? Well that's just me. What do you think?

Apps to customize the appearance of your android phone

Since I bought an Android phone, I have been downloading and trying out some apps that seems interesting. I have always wanted to change the appearance of how my phone looks (something that I haven'y done with my Iphone) and found some apps that has done wonders in customizing the appearance of my phone.

1. Launcher

Launchers are apps that will help you customize the appearance of your smartphone screen. There are several out there like: Nova, Holo, ADW and a lot more. What I am using right now is the Smart Launcher. It is easy to customize and very pleasing to the eyes. One of the feature that I like about this launcher is that it automatically sorts your apps into different categories. I you want to transfer an app to a different category, all you have to do is drag the app.

2. Sliding Messaging

Here is a great app if you want to change how your messaging looks like. By the way this is a completely different app. I have tried deleting the default messaging app in Android but have not been successful. Downside to this app is that you would receive two notification when you receive one SMS. Maybe there is a way to modify the notification but I still have to discover it. You could also change the themes by downloading in google play.

3. Fonts

Are you tried of the same generic fonts in you keyboard? There is an alternative to your built in fonts. Download a Go keyboard and you will be able to customize the font and the appearance of your keyboard.

I am still discovering the Android world. I will provide more updates and share what I have discovered with the apps that I have download

IOS vs. Android

Which is the better platform? I have used an Iphone for the last two years and have recently started using an android phone. I have found android a better choice. Here are the reason why.

1. Customization 

- You can't do a lot of customization with IOS. One of features that I wanted my Iphone to have is to capability to change the appearance. I heard that in IOS 7 that somehow change the appearance but I am not sure to what extent. With Android phones, you could change the appearance by downloading launchers. There are quite a few good one out there. So far I have tried the Smart Launcher and have been satisfied. 

2. Apps choices

- You can find a lot of apps in the Apple Store. The only problem is, most of the good ones are not free. with Android, you could find a variety of great apps which are free on Google play. Another great thing about android phones is that you don't necessarily have to root your phone to be able to use some of the apps. 

3. Phone features. 

- IOS is not particularly fond of sharing data. The bluetooth feature could by use mostly using two IOS phone. This is totally different with android in which you could pair would almost any other phones. 
- FM Radio feature is not readily available for IOS phones. If you want to listen to the radio, you would have to download an app for it. 

4. Affordability

- This is one of the main reason why I bought an android phone in the first place. I wanted to upgrade  my outdated Iphone and would cost a lot of money to buy am Iphone 5 or Iphone 4s. Not to mention that they might release another Iphone within the year. Who knows? 


Are you an Android user or an IOS user? What are your thoughts?
