Download Music Files in iOS with 'Free Music Download'

One of the main features that iOS fails to provide is the ability to download files or .mp3 files. Be it through safari or by mail. Sometimes there comes a time when we need to download certain music files which may not be on the iTunes Store. One of the apps that I found very helpful is 'Free Music Download' app by Sergey Sokolov.
This app not only allows you to download music files but play them through different equalizers and search for its lyrics directly from the app.
Features-
*Download Music Files
*Inbuilt browser to download from any website.
*Same arrangement of playlists, albums, artists, genres, Songs.
*Rename files, make folders, move files.
*Apply equalizers.

Advantages-
One of the main advantages that I found in this app is the ability to get the lyrics to a song with just a single tap. Also, in te regular iOS music app, you would have to go into the setting menu, music and ten select an equalizer. But in this app, you can directly change equalizers without having to go into te settings menu. The ability to create folders is also a pretty cool feature which the regular app does not provide. Also, when you connect your device to a computer, you can copy your downloaded files to your computer or even to your music library.

Disadvantages-
With all these above mentioned advantages also comes certain disadvantages that we have to deal with. For example, there no particular order or website that you can go into and download a song. Unlike the iTunes Store, you'd have to go a particular website and search for a song and then download one of desirable quality. But that quality or the song is not guaranteed. But when you're downloading music from websites like cdbaby spotify etc, it won't be such a big problem.
Given below are a few pictures of the Pp in action.

Free Voice Calls from Facebook's Messegner for iOS (North America only)

It's only been a while since Facebook rolled out their update for the Facebook messenger which had a new feature- which was to send voice messages. But, in their latest update to version 5.5 (I think!) contains yet another new feature, allowing you to call anyone you want for free, if you're living either in the USA or Canada. The only stipulations are that users have the bandwidth to burn and live in either the US or Canada. Otherwise, the interface and functionality are dead ringers for the Messenger equivalents we tried in January. We've seen loads of other apps that let you, or claim to let you make voice calls, but this seems pretty legit! But, there's been no word as to when a version for android or other platforms will be released or whether this feature will be available to other countries. If it becomes available, it probably will be a huge bummer for cellular companies! Lol

iOS 6 Bug Sum up! Apple Loosing its touch?!

Whassup guys? Recently we saw the release of Apple's new Mobile Operating System, the iOS, version 6.0 for the public! But after all 4 beta version, its still got all the bugs? The features of iOS6 was already disappointing with the iPhone 5. But honestly, there are so many bugs in iOS6 right now, which users have been reporting to me. So what bugs are they? why are they there?
1. WiFi - The first known bug was that almost all iDevices after update couldn't connect to their WiFi networks, including the brand NEW iPhone 5!
2. AppStore Crash- The Appstore has been crashing ever since I update my iPod touch to iOS6! The whole new interface of te Appstore is pretty cool, but a lot of users are not able to download apps off of it!
3. Facetime - My ringtone would ring, completely out of the blue! No call, no facetime, nothing! Just the ringtone ringing!
4. Location Services- Remember that little arrow that shows up in the status bar when you use location services? Well, that just comes up and stays there pretty much all the time! Even when you're not using ANY app!
5. Maps bug- Fans of iOS were extremely excited to experience Apple's new mapping software, titled simply "Maps." It turns out that the Apple Maps app has been far less than stellar. Users have complained of an oversimplified terrain view of certain areas in addition to several bugs.
6.Passbook- One is the most prominent features of Apple iOS 6 is the Passbook, which helps users organize boarding passes, movie tickets, retail coupons, loyalty cards and other receipts and gift programs in one place. Although the app is great in theory, it hasn't been functioning properly. When Passbook is opened, there's a small button at the bottom of the screen that says "App Store," which is the only thing that users can click. When the button is clicked, the device says "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store," which essentially renders the app useless.
7. Music Library- : Several users reported that entire music libraries vanished from their phones!! Completely!!
8. Facebook and Twitter updates from lock screen: Although this feature is not actually a bug, it's an incredibly big security hole that's been left available. Anyone who holds any pride in their social networks should be aware of the fact that Siri can update social networks from the locks screen. The feature can be disabled from the Passcode Lock settings.

So much for iOS6 guys. Honestly, I think Apple is just loosing their touch of perfection and secrecy! Cause we all knew, almost all features, and of course the design of the iPhone 5, before the release from leaks from the manufacturers and all. Apple used to be a very secretive company, but now I think its just loosing its touch. Feel free to comment in what you think about it, and don't forget to share this post, so that we can reach more people! Thanks for reading!
