130 December 2016 www.bahrainthismonth.com This app is for those dangerous situations when you need to quickly (and discreetly) get help from your friends. Two quick taps send one of three pre-written text messages to as many as six of your contacts. One message sends your GPS location and a request to be picked up, while another asks your friends to quickly get in touch with you. What is it? A cross-device syncing app and web browser extension that lets you quickly push links, addresses plotted in Google Maps, images, and other information from one device to another in just a matter of taps or clicks. Pushbullet also pushes other kinds of content if you subscribe to it, like daily news articles from your favourite sites. The Good: It allows for much quicker pushing than traditional methods. So, for example, if you’re on your iPhone looking for images and have found something you like, but it’s too hard to see it on the small screen, you can copy that URL and share it through Pushbullet. It will then show up instantly on your web browser on your laptop or PC in full size, without having to go through the hassle of emailing the link or sharing it in some other way. The Bad: Effortless syncing starts to come apart at the seams, however, when you have other operating systems in your mix, like a Windows computer and an Android tablet. Therefore, if you want the app to run smoothly, you’ll need, for example, an all-Apple or all-Windows set-up. apps Verdict: A smooth, simple app to make your life easier. A brand-new smart messaging app that lets you say and do more. Google’s new messaging app also has a built-in artificially intelligent personal assistant. Google Assistant lets you get help and information without ever leaving the conversation; just message your assistant and get a reply.
