Temple Run App for Android Review

Temple Run app for Android is a fun arcade game, wherein you are an explorer who is on the run for stealing a sacred but cursed idol from a temple. Half monkey/half dog demons are after your blood, and you have to run to keep yourself alive. How long you can successfully evade the demons is what the game is all about. Temple Run Android app may be downloaded for free from Google Play Store.

How Temple Run is played?

In Temple Run app for Android, you’ve raided an ancient temple, stole its cursed idol, and are chased by demons as soon as you exit the temple. You’ve got to jump, slide, tilt and turn to dodge your pursuers, and stay away from danger. But it is not as easy as it may sounds as the chasers will also increase speed over time, and you’ve got to dodge bends and obstacles on the way, all the while attempting to stay ahead of the demons. If you hit one obstacle, the demons will get to you in no time, and the game is over. The bottom line is to keep the raider alive as long as possible. While on the run, you’ve got to collect coins on the way; the coins can be later spent on new characters, utilities, and power-ups, which will come handy as your run further and further. The power ups aids in speeding you up, dodge obstacles and amass more coins as you play.

If you’ve run out of coins, you can make in-app purchases to acquire more. But that’ll cost some money. If you want to enjoy the game for free, be judicious in spending the coins, and stay away from the demons. Unlike many other games with in-app purchase options, the in-app purchases in Temple Run are entirely optional; even if you don’t buy anything, still you can enjoy all the features of the game. The graphics part is good, for a ‘running’ game. The sound effects add life to the eerie chase.

Final Thoughts

Temple Run app for Android is fun, addictive, easy to play, and it goes on and on; the game keeps you so engrossed that it’ll be hard to put your smartphone down even if you want to. On the downside, Temple Run app is not compatible with all Android phones. It seems to be made for high end smartphones at the moment. Overall, a must-try arcade game!

Sensorly App for Android Review

One important factor in selecting a mobile phone service provider is its coverage; whether the particular service provider has got enough coverage in your place of stay or other places you might visit? Sensorly app for Android does that for you. Based on data garnered from its users, the app could exactly tell you the mobile phone reception of every service provider in your area. Sensorly app is free.

How Sensorly app Works?

Sensorly app for Android relies on its user’s millions of recordings to plot 2G/3G/4G/WiFi coverage in a given area. The app provides the coverage info on an easily readable map, with street level accuracy. The app provides details such as cell tower identification or BSSID, signal strength (RSSI) etc, and it works for CDMA, GSM, WiFi, WiMax and LTE technologies.

Since Sensorly app for Android is given away for free, the application makers expect you to permit them to collects data and map your neighborhood in return (even though you can block any data collection if you wish so). Further, the app provides customizable options; you can choose the map to show, enable/disable data collection, automate data collection, or you can opt to send info only over Wifi. Sensorly also does not collect persona information, UUID or IMEI.

Another notable feature of Sensorly is its ‘compare’ feature that lets you compare a carrier’s coverage and signal quality for any location in the world. This is a handy feature since not all carriers have equal coverage in all the places. Sensorly, when in action, consumes battery. However, the team Sensorly themselves claim that the app does not consume more than 10% of the total battery by default. Another apparent downside is that Sensorly does not provide carrier coverage details for all countries; for example, in Asia, it provides maps only for three countries, including China and Japan. But the results are comprehensive enough for US/UK based customers.

Final Thoughts

Sensorly app for Android delivers what it promises, albeit only in select countries. But the good thing is that the app is updating new places/countries/providers regularly. The app provides quick results, neatly plotted on a map. You can also view the signal strength in relevant units separately. Verdict: a handy app to have in your device.
