Iflix : Great alternative for Cable TV?

We grew up without cable tv (not because we can't afford it) but because our mom would always tell us that it would only distract us from doing our homework. So we got used to just local tv shows.

Ever since Iflix was introduced to the market, I immediately signed up and tried it out.  At first I was still skeptical since it was still new to me, but after a week of using it I immediately got fond of iflix. For those who are not yet familiar, Iflix offers streaming TV and Movie shows with a minimal fee (don't be too stingy or be a freeloader guys).

What I love about Iflix is that you could download movies or tv shows and watch it offline. So if you are going on a trip or somewhere that has no internet, then this would not be a problem. Like when I helped in our farm for a week, iflix really kept me entertained.

Iflix

Iflix has a lot of arrays of Tv Shows and Movies to choose from, you could search it through their search tab. Iflix allows you to choose which genre you wish to watch which makes it easier to choose.

What makes Iflix standout from the rest of the Streaming apps out there? Is the ability to download what you want and watch it while offline.

Good news for Smart, Talk n Text and PLDT subscribers, Iflix offers a special subscription rate for you.  Instead of paying for 129 per month, you only get to pay 99 pesos.  And I save the best for last, you could connect your account upto 5 devices.

So, what are you waiting for? Still not convinced? Try it for a month for free and you won't regret it, I know I didn't.

• 1 month unlimited access!
• Thousands of TV shows, movies & more.
• Stream on your phone, laptop, tablet or TV.
• You can even Download & watch offline.

REVIEW l Transcend DrivePro 220 Dash Cam

When I got into an accident last year, that is when I decided to purchase a dashcam.  What entered my mind back then was that if ever I got hit by another driver it would be easier to prove that I was innocent or guilty(works both ways guys).  After all the repairs were done I bought myself a dashcam, and take note guys that it took me quite sometime before I decided to buy the Transcend DrivePro 220.

What I really love about this dashcam is its wifi capability. Whenever you want to connect your mobile device to the dashcam to download a video which makes it very convenient, all you need to do is turn the wifi signal on and connect to it, just like from a wifi signal from a router.

The Transcend also has a GPS which means all the video that gets recorded has a GPS geo tagging, with its GPS it would be easier to locate where the video was taken once you view it on your computer.

 What it looks like from your Personal Computer

My transcend already comes with a free 16GB memory card so there is no need to purchase another set of memory card. You don't have to worry about running out of memory, since it would automatically rewrite the oldest video(video looping).

Aside from recording your travels and giving you peace of mind on the road, the Transcend DrivePro 220 has some added features.  The Lane Departure Warning System which would warn you if you suddenly leave your lane(like if you suddenly doze of) and Forward Collision Warning System which would warn you when the vehicle infront of you suddenly hits the brake and you didn't notice it. Both of these features would only kick in at a certain speed of your choosing.

So if you are planning on buying the Transcend DrivePro 220, here are the few things you need to know:

        - Little bit pricier, but you get your money's worth.

        - Wifi capabilities

        - GPS for Geo Tagging.

        - 130° wide angle lens

        - Emergency recording
        - Lane Departure Warning
        - Forward Collision Warning
        - Speed Limit Warning

REVIEW l Asus Zenfone Selfie

Have you ever thought of buying a new Mobile Phone but can't decide?

Well maybe this review could help you.

Earlier this year, my wife and I decided to purchase an Asus Zenfone Selfie as gifts to ourselves, since then I have been a satisfied user of my Asus Selfie.

The first thing that caught my attention when I opened the box, was how big the lens of the front camera which is the same as the back.  Below are the photos I took upon opening the box.

After Opening the Box

Back

The Asus Selfie has both a 13.0 Mega-Pixel Camera for its front and back camera which is good for those who love to take selfies due to the high Mega-Pixel Front Camera.  It also has a flash for both the front and back which would make it easy to take photos or videos during low light or during the night time.  Aside from the flash function option when taking a photo you could also use the flash as a steady torch when taking a photo or video which is good if you are taking a photo in pitch black.

The Asus Selfie also has a 3GB(Gigabyte) of Ram and 2GB of which is usable which means it wont have a hard time with your applications and games so you don't need to worry about giving your Asus Selfie a hard time when opening multiple apps and games.  It also has an internal memory of 32GB which is a huge storage space for all your photos, videos, games, etc. but, it is still not enough there is an option to expand your memory with its memory card slot(which you could purchase at any tech shop) up to 128 GB of additional memory, so there is no need to worry about storage.

It is a dual standby phone which means that there is a slot for sim 1 and sim 2 which are both active so if you have two mobile no.s there is no need to buy another phone.  Since I have two mobile no.s have a dual sim standby is a great help since I could have both of my sims in 1 mobile phone and please take not that you have to have a micro sim when using this phone so if you are still using an old sim card you could opt for it to be replace with your carrier to a micro sim card or you could have it cut(most of the shops offer cutting your sim card for a minimal fee).

True to its description, its camera is amazing. Its camera is really like a mini DSLR when taking photos.  Taking photos using the front and back will give you the same quality since they have the same Mega-Pixel and function.  Using the Camera Application you, will have a few camera modes that you could use in taking photos.  My favorite mode is the "Depth of Field" since it focuses on your subject by keeping the background blurred.  And if you are not familiar with the different features there is a help button which gives you the description of the feature.

 For connectivity it has bluetooth and wifi which you could use to connect to other devices and the internet.  It is already a 4G/LTE capable phone which means if your carrier is already offering LTE then you could maximize your data speed usage.


Here are some of the sample photos I took.

After using the Asus Zenfone Selfie for 6 months there is nothing to complain about.
Overall the Asus Selfie is an amazing phone for under 12K.
