Bahrain This Month - January 2016

January 2016 79 www.bahrainthismonth.com This app is perfect for people that are serious about podcasts. Pocket Casts allows you to search for your favourite podcasts and store them in custom lists to automatically sort. Pocket Casts offers syncing across multiple devices and has an option to delete shows once they’re finished, so you are always up-to-date with what you have and haven’t listened to. What is it? If you’re someone who uses a single password across all your accounts, you could be easily hacked by a determined individual. Dashlane is a password manager that makes generating and storing passwords a breeze. Once you start using the app, the only password you need to remember is the master password that secures Dashlane itself. Since this protects all your other login credentials you need to make it a strong one. The Good: It’s simple to use and one of the most secure out there. The app deletes saved passwords from less-secure storage and turns off your browser’s password capture. Instead, it takes a record of the password you entered and stores it securely in a category of your choosing. When you revisit the site, Dashlane will fill in the saved credentials. The Bad: It’s a little expensive at BD4 per month. Also, it doesn’t recognise some of the more obscure website login pages and if you have shared accounts (such as bank accounts), you have to go through a complicated process to share just specific passwords with your spouse. apps Verdict: An easy way to create and manage strong passwords and other personal information on your smartphone. Duolingo is one of the best free language-learning apps on the market. It’s extremely well designed for on-the-go learning thanks to short lessons and a simple user interface. Thirteen languages are included and it is fully crowd-sourced, so the language database improves constantly as contributors add to it.
