3 Reasons why you should download Gboard for your iPhone

Google released a new keyboard app for the iPhone a couple of days ago and I think it is the best thing in the world. Here is 3 reasons why you should download Google’s Gboard for your iPhone.

This keyboard has a special button at the top left in which you can press it and do a google search. You can search for just about anything and when you find something you like, you can copy it as a “card.” If your in iMessage, you can send that card as a photo and it looks really nice. I love this feature because you can send someone some information that is quick and easy. That’s not all with the Google button, you can also search for GIFs, Emoji, nearby points of interest, weather, news, and sports scores.

The Google I/O 2016 app has hit the market

The Google I/O app has hit the play store for those of you that are heading to the conference.

One thing that is always hard about going to these conferences is that it is hard to schedule so many things and go to them. This app helps to make that a little easier on your frail little heart.

Google has still been updating their I/O event website with new information as we start to get closer to the event. The app has a few Material elements that we haven’t seen before, so that means that we could see an update to some Material stuff in one of the sessions.

The app looks very similar to last year’s. You are able to navigate to things such as the explore, where news is going to be posted, your personal schedule so you know where to be and when, and videos of previous sessions.

It’s going to be a great year for tech!

Tune in to my channel (PurifyHD) to see a live stream of the keynote. Not the keynote itself, more rather my initial impressions live.

Hope to see you there!

Beme is now on Android

I am a huge Casey Neistat fan. That means that I watch his vlogs, and I know about his company, Beme.

What is Beme?

I don’t really know how to explain it, so let Casey Neistat (the creator) explain it…

You don’t stare into your phone when you’re recording something, you just go like this… [holds phone to chest], and Beme captures whatever is in front of you, and then when you take the phone away, it shares it. It’s pretty much magic.

Apple has fixed autocorrecting!

Written by Joey Peters

Don’t you just hate it when you spell something the right way but auto correct changes it to something else? That is about to change because of Apple.

Apple filed a patent for this a little bit ago and in this patent it showed us that Apple is working on a new feature maybe to come out in IOS 10. It works like this, when you send a text, whenever auto correct changes a word that you typed, your recipient will see the word underlined. Now that underlined work can be touched and when touched, a list of 3 words will pop up above that and those 3 words are suggestions of what Apple thinks that they might have meant instead of the word that it was changed to.

So now your friend can see when you type a word and it is spelled wrong and if their is a lot of misspelled words then they can see that and it actually could be embarrassing seeing how many words they spelled wrong especially if it was a word that is really easy to spell and they had to use auto correct for it!

Now what does this mean for Apple. If this is true and they come through with this then Apple is going to be a whole lot richer because now companies will have to pay Apple to use this feature because they patented it. I really hope they do stay with this idea because it could actually be very cool and not have anymore embarrassing mistakes when typing.
