Many people enjoy watching videos even more than watching TV shows. Some of my co-workers actually spend a good part of the day covertly watching online videos and flipping the work screen as soon as the boss goes by! (Know anyone like that?) Anyway, I suppose it helps to decrease stress and exercise the mind a bit to move it around other topics than the routine ones you can do blindfolded on a daily basis.

With Squrl, you are able to compile all your favorite video subscriptions in one neat pile so that you don't have to switch between video sites to catch up on the latest stuff on each. You can also watch live streaming TV for some news sources and find amusing stuff to keep your day moving along. Expect to find the following features in this universal iPhone and iPad video viewing app:

● Watch videos from your YouTube, Netflix and Hulu+ subscriptions in one place.
● Watch videos posted by your Facebook friends and favorite Twitter personalities.
● Watch live streaming TV from Huffington Post, Bloomberg TV, This Week in Tech, and more.
● Find hot web videos from Gangnam Style remixes to new iPhone unboxings in Squrl’s ‘What’s Hot’ channel.
● Send favorite videos to your friends on Squrl, Facebook, Twitter, or via email.

Squrl lets you search through a number of live streaming TV channels and sites, like Huffington Post Live, Bloomberg, and others while efficiently allowing navigation through your videos for your enjoyment. Squrl utilizes auto-complete and a search history. Additionally, users now are provided with suggestions when searching based on popular video search strings Discover awesome videos in a variety of categories, and organize them for your convenience.

Remember we used to rely faithfully on Google Maps to find our way around, then it disappeared from the recent iOS? Personally, I never had problems with this navigation app, but many others did. Consequently, the app has been revamped and newly placed again on the App Store. This new Google Maps has been working very well for most folks. I'm a firm believer in Google products and have promptly placed the app back on my phone.

Google Maps will help you find your way around town and out of town too, has voice navigation with turn-by-turn directions, street view and other helpful features. Not only that, but you can also use it to discover restaurants, shopping other entertainment and other important places. The 360 degree panorama view is really a nice touch. Enjoy the following informative, helpful features of this Google Maps navigation, turn-by-turn app:

Search
* Find addresses, places and businesses around the world with Google local search.
* Discover places to eat, drink, shop and play, with ratings and local reviews.
* Sign in to sync your searches, directions, and favorite places between your computer and your phone.

Directions
* Get voice guided, turn-by-turn driving directions.

* View high resolution satellite imagery of locations around the world.

Simple and easy to use

Go ahead and check out this fresh new take on Google maps. Enjoy a clean looking and easy-to-use interface. There are definitely more features than in the previous app, and as mentioned, the turn-by-turn voice directions are new and a huge bonus! The map is simple to use, but contains a few not easily noticeable features. For starters, just tap on the icon with two arrows in the bottom left of your display while in street view to pan around the location. Another cool feature is being able to see the special menu that toggles traffic, public transit, and satellite map views by swiping from right to left with two fingers.

Give Google Maps a prominent place on your display, and make sure you get to all your holiday parties and festivities on time using excellent directions!

PuXXles

Developer Quote: "PuXXles - a totally new way of communication!
Download PuXXles and create jigsaw puzzles, text, visual riddles, and more to send encrypted messages to whomever you want!"

- COST:     Free     - APP STORE STARS:     4-1/2
- Categories: Entertainment, Games, Lifestyle, Native, Puzzles, Social Networking

Corresponding with friends and family is so simple and easy nowadays. It used to be that you could only reach your family via phone, and if they lived overseas you'd be paying for one little phonecall for the entire month! We have it easy these days with loads of social network options. You can use text, Skype, Facetime,and many other such communication methods to stay in touch or make new connections.

Why be humdrum and boring though? It's time to think outside the box, and there's no better place to start than with PuXXles. This iPhone social networking and communication personal, encoded puzzle app carries mystery and charm with its unique twist on socializing. It makes it fun and intriguing to correspond with those you care about because you communicate via puzzles and messages. Let's see all the delightful, social interaction features that PuXXles has to offer:

● Use any picture to create a puzzle or make a text riddle! Find lots of puzzle and riddle options to encode messages and turn social interactions into an exciting game.

● Create clever puxxles for users to solve.

● Post your puxxles at the Gallery and watch them climb up to the TOP. Grow as a puxxle artist!

● Turn your everyday shoutouts, news, and statuses into something extraordinary - make them puzzling and perplexing with PuXXles!

● Flexible privacy and connectivity options let you share and receive puxxles from only those you choose.

So what exactly are puxxles and how on earth do you create and send them? Well, they are actually messages, but not just words simply typed out. In fact, each message is delivered as a trivia question or jigsaw puzzle. But it's not that simple! When you get a puxxle, as excited as you may be to read this secret message, you can only see it when you solve the riddle or put the pieces of the puzzle together! To return the favor, you may want to send a friend a hot picture of yourself, or (to tame it down a bit) maybe a picture of your child, pet or great scenery. You can send music or even crazy jokes you've heard around the water cooler at work.

You can become an avid PuXXles fan by sharing your own puxxles and saving favorites. Create a profile, and if you are proud of your puxxles, go ahead and post them at the Gallery for others to enjoy your encoding creativity. Stay on top of things by selecting the options which alert you when your own puxxle has been opened and setting privacy options!

Login to PuXXles with your Facebook profile, or open a new PuXXles account. The app will give you a brief demonstration of how to get into the swing of things. Then launch the Home Screen where you can tap buttons for Puxxlers (search for your friends using PuXXles or invite friends), set up your profile, check out the Ratings of other Puxxlers, adjust your Settings, and enter any Activation Codes you may have received in order to open puxxles delivered to you. As a new game player, you will be labeled a Chatterer, but this title will change as you become more adept in your puxxle making!

When you're ready to make a new puxxle, tap the orange puzzle piece in the bottom right of your screen. A "T" or puzzle icon will appear in a jigsaw piece. If you want to send a written puxxle, tap the "T", but if you want to send a jigsaw puzzle of your fave pic, tap the puzzle icon. Enter a question and its answer when you use the "T" option, then follow the instructions to send your new puxxle. If you want to send a pic, choose which size puzzle from 9 to 36 piece, add an image from your library or snap a new photo, name your puxxle, add text if you wish as well as a song or your own recorded words and send off your new and intriguing puxxle to your friend via email, SMS or to other Puxxlers.

Producing puxxles is so much more fun and captivates the recipient like nothing else! If you love puzzles, a bit of mystery, plus social networking with friends, you'll get all of these cool treats with PuXXles!

COOL CONCLUSION: A sharp wit, a love of challenges and solving puzzles is what it takes to use PuXXles, a most unique and creative social networking and messaging app.
