Google’s Motion Stills app creates fun GIFs & movies from your Apple Live Photos

I love Apple’s Live Photo feature because it’s a brilliant way to capture a moment beyond a static photograph. The combination of audio with that brief second before and after creates a fun and interactive memory. Sharing those Live Photos is a problem though since they need to be created into GIFs before you can…

F-Secure Booster: Device running slow? You don’t need a new one, you just need a boost!

I’d like to send a big shout out to F-Secure for sponsoring Let’s Talk Tech this month. Over time, computers and devices get worn down by use and cluttered up with files you don’t really need.

This app will get you insured on a friend’s car in minutes

I’ve always been annoyed at the difficulty involved in getting insured on someone else’s car here in the UK. You either have to plough through long online forms, or spend time listening to terrible music while you wait for a call centre agent. It’s so impractical and time wasting.

Why Waze is the only GPS navigation app you should be using

While most drivers I know settle for the default GPS apps pre-installed on their phones like Google Maps or Apple Maps, I prefer to use an app called Waze to help me get around. Owned by Google (but kept separate from Google Maps), Waze has more of a social focus on navigation, whereas Google Maps works…

My thanks to F-Secure for sponsoring Let’s Talk Tech this month. Data breaches are the new reality and it’s no longer a question of if it’s going to happen to you, but when.
