WhatsApp is testing a feature whereby a user can delete a message on the recipients phone before it has been read!
Additionally it will come with an edit feature to correct those pesky typos!

However it is only in beta and there is no word on an official launch for this update. Furthermore a new feature which allows users to send friends their location when they’re moving across a 1, 2 or 5 minute period. There are no privacy worries as this comes with an option to turn it off.

Parkopedia

/in , /by

The name Parkopedia is a combination of the words parking and encyclopedia (think Wikipedia… but for parking!).

Born out of a frustration of looking for parking, we have set out to map and list every parking space in the world. To date, Parkopedia has grown to cover over 38 million parking spaces in 52 countries around the world thanks to contributions from drivers like you.

Use this app to

* Find parking using your current location or by entering an address

* Get directions straight to the space

* See parking space availability in real-time (where available)

* Find opening hours, up to date prices, payment methods and more

* Quickly narrow down parking choices using filters such as free, credit cards accepted, covered, etc

Pineapple Pen!

/in , , /by

Marcus was feeling a little bit poorly recently so had a lot of time to kill and some of that time was killed by playing a game which is poor but it’s so poor it’s good. This is one of those games. Pineapple Pen.

It’s simple, all you got to do is stab the pen into the pineapple. Tap on the screen to throw the pen to try and hit an apple or a pineapple. Simple. Easy and Fun. Kinda.

Download and hear Marcus’ thoughts on the game below!

Color Switch!

/in , /by

You know that game that you see a lot of the time on viral videos on Facebook? They always seem to be playing Color Switch? Well it’s the official game from viral videos/pictures influencer Fortafy it’s a simple game, but also at times difficult. Which makes it so addictive! With over 100,000,000 downloads worldwide Fortafy has created a mammoth game. All you have to do is tap the ball carefully through each obstacle collecting stars, and at intermittent times the ball will switch colour. Then you’d have to follow through the colour pattern on the next obstacle to cross it – cross through the wrong colour and you’ll start again – which is where Marcus’ love hate relationship is stemmed from!
