Lookout Premium app review

Everyone’s favourite Android security app has now received a Premium version which adds remote wiping, remote locking, and enhanced backup and restore features. The latter is perhaps the most interesting feature for everyday users, as it now lets you back-up and transfer your photos should you change phone.

Another major new feature for Premium users is the Privacy Advisor, which lets you know about any apps that can track your location or access your private information. All this, plus the standard edition’s excellent feature roster (including handset tracking and malware protection) make this an essential download.

Lovebots app review
You can’t argue with robots. Well, you can, but it might end badly for humanity. We’ve had a fascination with all things android (note lower-case ‘a’) for nearly a century, right back to the earliest science fiction.

Path app review
There is no shortage of ways to share photos from your iPhone, with the Facebook app the most popular by far. However, new app Path has been launched as a counterpoint to that, promising to create a ‘personal network’ limited to just your closest friends and family.
