Hooked App
We have been killing time with this really cool reading app called HOOKED. No really hear us out!
Hooked is an app where you get to write stories which are told as short text message sized in conversation form. It’s almost as if you’re reading someone elses’ chats…kinda creepy but also really interesting! You can also write stories with your buddies by creating characters and getting your friends to improv the next part of the story!
See below more details:

Facebook Copies SnapChat AGAIN
Facebook have a tendency to look at Snapchat for inspiration as shown by Mashable:
Mashable has confirmed Facebook have essentially copied Snapchat – AGAIN. They are rolling out a navigation bar for their new video feed for live video/video on demand for the pages that you follow.
This new video feed is accessed by clicking a play button at the bottom of the app which will be to the right of the news feed icon, which will bring up this new feed and this new navigation bar which looks just like Snapchat. But its not Snapchat. Ok.
Facebook confirmed to Mashable on Friday that this new Video tab has been rolling out ever so slowly since April but have increased efforts to get it in the faces of more of its users (Currently on in the US)
This new feed has a notifications panel which shows up videos that are currently live from the pages that you are following, yet if you scroll Facebook shows you some suggested videos that you may be interested in.
Again much like snapchat you exit a pages video by tapping or dragging down a button in the top left hand corner of the screen – and scroll left to right along the navigation bar, which has circles with your pages logo’s in them – sounds like Snapchat to you?
Mashable reported that Facebook have been testing ways to share photo’s which have filters on them.
A week earlier Mashable reported that they were testing a “Messenger Day” feature where you can add stickers to photo’s which expire within 24 hours.
Earlier this week too Mashable have reported that Facebook have been adding geofilters to photo’s which have frames around them.
Business Insider reported too that Facebook have been working with media partners to create a system similar to Snapchats Discover.
Do Facebook just want to become Facebook?

2007 Predicting 2017!
2007 is all but a decade ago. A DECADE AGO!
Feel old right?
Anyway, this video from NBC in America predicted some pretty cool stuff to happen next year…..see the video below to see what they got right (quite a lot actually) and what they didn’t correctly predict!
I’m still waiting for this!

Super Mario Run Online Only?!
It looks like Super Mario Run (hitting stores on December 15th at £10 and we cannot wait!) will only work if your iOS device is connected to the internet due to privacy concerns! One of the main reasons for this being that Nintendo The are worried about the game being released firstly in so many countries and secondly on devices that they don’t have any control over and problems over all modes working together.
Nintendo apparently tried to create a work around and have just the World Tour available offline but this caused many problems with other game modes in the app like the Toad Rally.
Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto said:
“We wanted to be able to leverage that network connection with all three of the modes to keep all of the modes functioning together and offering the game in a way that keeps the software secure…..This is something that we want to continue to work on as we continue to develop the game.”
See below Nintendo’s full statement.

Nintendo full statement:
Online connectivity allows us to offer a variety of features and services that enhance the play experience. Super Mario Run is not a static experience, but rather one that players can continue to return to again and again to enjoy something new and unexpected. For example, online connectivity can offer the following:
- Access to other users’ play data and scores for automatically generated Toad Rally challenges.
- In-game events that will offer players new challenges and rewards for a limited time.
- Linkage to Nintendo Account to access save data from multiple devices. For example, if players have Super Mario Run on their iPhone and iPad, they can share one save file across the different devices. However, this save data cannot be used with different devices at the same time.
