As a parent I find my kids constantly swiping my device. This is where Kid Mode, preloaded on the HTC One E8, comes in handy. Take note that most of the content on this app is geared towards younger children. When you open the app for the first time it has you build a profile for your child. This includes selecting apps your child is allowed to play. Kid Mode also limits access from visiting the play store or random internet sites. It also keeps them from downloading additional games that might be advertised in the approved apps.

Kid Mode also comes pre-loaded with an audio book (The Three Little Pigs), educational videos, a paint suite and video mail (This is a premium feature). While only one book is unlocked you are able to purchase additional books through the parent’s dashboard. Once nice part of the children’s book is the ability to save your own recording that will play back to your child. As for the videos most are shows that you would find on PBS kids. These are streamed over the internet so you must have data access to watch them.

The above screen shot shows what the eBook looks like. The image of the father / daughter is a video of them reading the book. This can be recorded over with your own video reading of the book.
The premium version is based on a monthly subscriptions model. The premium subscription gives you access to all of their educational apps and books, but it is not required to use this app. Overall I would recommend any parent with a young child to try out Kid Mode.
Until next time,

This thread is specially for people from India and people who recognise the Indian Talent across the globe.
Let me ask you a question : Who doesn't like to see his community name or country's name flashing in news ? Isn't it a proud moment for all of us?
Take an example of Xiaomi news braodcasting over news channel. You are running late but the moment you hear the news, your feet freez on floor and spearding a wide curve on your face, you look at the TV and smile proudly
The same case is with every nation and their people, beat it's India or China.
Today we are going to explore some cool featured applications which are "Made in India".
Hike Messenger
With instant messaging becoming such a huge trend since of late, it was only natural that India would not be far off the bandwagon. Hike is a communication app that offers both SMS and instant messaging in one single app. Developed by Bharti Softbank, a 50-50 partnership between Japans Softbank telecom provider and Indias Bharti Telecom, the app is the brainchild of Kavin Bharti Mittal. This cross platform messenger app is pretty similar to WhatsApp, but also allows users to communicate through SMS when they do not have access to data on the go, or mobile internet.
Features that make Hike worth trying are:
Invite each of your friend via SMS for FREE
Users can create group to chat with their friends and family members, even along with those who are not in Hike via SMS
Share videos, photos and other attached files up to 6MB via Hike or SMS to anyone
Simple User Interface will make you fall in love with it
No username or PINs required and Hike is always connected
Even if phone is switched-off, Hike saves the offline messages automatically so that users can read them later
All messages on hike are encrypted over Wi-Fi
Application can be moved to SD card also
Share your locations with friends
Pros:
Fast
Simple UI
Sends message to non-hike users as well
Free of cost
Cons:
Smileys and emoticons seems old
Few glitches while uploading multiple files

Real-Cricket-14
Created by India-based Nautilus Mobile, Real Cricket 14 promises ‘the most captivating cricket experience on mobile’. This addictive cricket game offers users never-seen before game modes, real ball physics, unique art styles, and tons more. A true must-have app for all cricket fans.
Real Cricket 14 is not a short burst game of a few overs though it can be played like that if you prefer so. But, if you like playing long games with 20 or 50 overs then that too can be played on Real Cricket 14. When you play on mobile or tablet you are not exactly looking for a long stretched game. Your battery consumption takes a heavy toll with this game and if you don't have a charging socket handy, you definitely won't want to take on an innings in the game. The game developers thought about this problem well and have programmed the game to auto save your progress at the end of each over. This way you can spend whatever time you want to play and when can't continue any longer you can just close the app and continue later whenever you want to.
You can select the number of players you want in the game, the overs and the information you need. A thin bar at the bottom of the game also displays useful information during the game like your present run rate, number of overs finished as well as the the number of balls remaining in the over.
Real Cricket 14 is a Freemium game which means that it has advertisements and in app purchases. You can remove the ads by making a one time payment of Rs.50. For the same amount you can unlock more features of this game like T20 World Cup, Knockout Trophy, Master Teams or Super Over.
Pros:
Intutive
Smooth control
multiple leage options
Cons:
Multiplayer Game mode

Shifu
Shifu is a popular Indian-made productivity and task management app that observes how a users uses their phone and reminds them about all the tasks that need to be done. The app has been developed by Deepansh Jain, Michael Massey and Prashant Jain. Instead of you having to set specified time for your specified tasks, Shifu alerts you when you might have the free time to complete a particular task. It has wi-fi based, phone call based, and location based alerts integrated into it. So far, Shifu has 50k downloads on the app store.
One of the big upsides of using an Android phone is the sheer scope of customisation that is available to users. Rooting your phone and choosing a completely different version of the operating system isn't hard, but otherwise there is a whole laundry list of apps that can change everything from the way your phone looks to the way it works.
Shifu, by Delhi-based The Signals, is one such app, which lets you outsource the job of remembering what's important and when to do it. The app keeps running in the background and tracks how you're using your phone. It also requires access to your phone's calendar. So it knows, for example, that at 9AM every day, you're traveling from home to office, and it knows that you're going to take half an hour to get there.
Shifu is a personal assistant app, which helps you record reminders with respect to time, place and some activities.
The Homepage
Here are some use cases for the app –
General time based reminders – Remind me to call mom/dad/girlfriend at 7:00 pm every day.
Location based reminders – Say you’re visiting a cafe for the first time and you really like it, you can set a reminder to remind you of this place the next time you’re in it’s vicinity.
Activity based – Currently, you can set reminders based on networks you’re connected to (WiFi, 3G etc) or when you’re on a call with someone.
In the process, Shifu does something obnoxious as well – it displays these reminders on your phones home screen. I hate that, but it is definitely one the most effective way of reminding me.
Another reminder app?
I might be a little biased against reminder apps; I still don’t think a disorganized person will become organized because of a reminder app. It is a mindset problem of not caring for the more mundane but necessary tasks of life. These tasks pile up and your life becomes a mess (trust me, I know).
The homescreen reminder display
However, a nag, who holds you accountable has been the closest to getting me responsible and organized. I get the same feeling with Shifu. For things that I haven’t attended to, it makes sure that I know about it with it’s homescreen reminder. It’s ugly, but at least it gets me back into the app to get rid of the reminder notification. Sometimes, I even do the tasks that it reminds me to do.
Pros:
The biggest pro with Shifu is that it has realized what it takes disorganized guys like me to take it seriously. Apart from this, it is feature rich and some of the activity based reminder options are pretty cool and I hope more activities are integrated with Shifu. For example, reminder on using an app excessively (game/social media etc) would be a neat feature.
Cons:
The app is data and sensor intensive and there is a visible drop in battery performance that I’ve experienced since I installed the app. However, this is something that the app developers might want to be wary of. Furthermore, if there was a prettier way of displaying notifications on the homescreen, it would be greatly appreciated.

You can select the people who wishes to play with you, by reviewing their profiles.

TL;DR:
I created an app that schedules your goals automatically at the best free time in your Google Calendar. This is a complete replacement to Goals that leaves Google Calendar tomorrow.
Android Download
iOS Download
Feel free to open issues on the app Github page. That would help me keep track of the issues
Background
I am using Google Calendar and Goals religiously. After Google announced that they’re removing Goals I started working on Goaly. For those who aren’t familiar, Goals used to be a feature in Google Calendar that allowed you to create a “goal” - something you want to do every x days or x times a week. It would then take those goals and automatically schedule them in your calendar based on your free time and other preferences. Once a goal was completed you could tap “Did it” to mark it as completed and keep a streak.
If this sounds great it’s because it is. It was a super handy feature I found myself using all the time to find time for my workouts, meditations and even calling my mom.
Unfortunately Google announced that they're removing this feature in November (as they do), so I decided to create it myself.
The goal of Goaly
Goaly is firstly meant to be a complete replacement to Google Calendar’s goals feature. That means that Goaly can
intelligently finds free time in your schedule based on your preferences
schedules goals automatically for you
keeps track of your goals
allows multi device support so you can view and manage goals from your phone/laptop/PC etc
Examples
I use Goaly to schedule time for my workouts whenever I have 2 hours to spare. I also use it to schedule meditations 5 times a week, call my mom once a week and do my studies twice a week.
