Google Calculator's most awaited feature..

Google Calculator is one of the most loved calculators by us. It provides instant result to the mathematical operations as well as its available on almost all stock Android devices. This wasn't perfect as a calculator though. Why? It did not have 'show history' feature as most of other calculators had. This was a big problem to be looked into as it was the most essential feature for every user. And it was easiest feature Google could add in it's app. Yet Google wasn't seem to be looking into it and this resulted in bad reviews on play store. But on Jan 11, 2017; this feature was added by Google and now the operation history in the app can be seen by swiping down from the top. Also another feature which was needed to be added was MS, MR, M+, M-. The MS (Memory Store) button copies the number from the screen to the memory. The MR (Memory Recall) button brings the memory value back to the screen. M+ and M- add or subtract the screen value from the memory val

Google Allo

Google Allo knows Siri but does not know about Cortana. Well that's OK Google, it's just a preview edition. But above all, Google has become smarter than before and now it is better than its voice assistant 'OK Google' and does smart and fast replies, fast voice recognition but the integration is quite slow at times. Nevertheless we know Google will be fixing it in a couple of days and this will be competent enough to beat WhatsApp and other popular chat messengers as it has an incognito mode and smart reply feature which does the job well. Even we can subscribe to timely update about weather, news, facts, quotes, etc. That's a cool feature though. We can also give actions to the personal assistant to set an alarm, set a timer, showing events, reading out emails, etc. There's a lot more fun to chat with assistant Allo. Looking forward for more features like this and fixing bugs with the new update and understanding of the words better. Download the

Google Picasa shutting down

Google Picasa will no longer be active. It will be unavailable from 1 may, 2016. So picasa lovers switch over to Google's future said product; Google Photos . Google Picasa was merely used as a photo manager, editor and as well as a great photo organiser. It got many version upgrades and eacj upgrade had something new in store for the users. Probably i have used Picasa a year ago and had a lots of fun in it and then i switched over to Google Photos which was far better than Picasa according to me. Now Photos is my only app which backs up my photos and videos daily. Google on Friday said it will be shuttering Picasa to shift its focus to the new Google Photos service launched less than a year ago. "We believe we can create a much better experience by focusing on one service that provides more functionality and works across mobile and desktop, rather than divide our efforts across two different products," Google Photos chief Anil Sabharwal said in a blog post.
