PhotoScan by Google Photos

Here is a new Google application that can be practical on a day to day basis. Its objective is simple: it allows you to scan your paper photos with the camera of your smartphone. With a normal photo application, the results are never really satisfying, mainly because of reflections and glare, but PhotoScan gets around these problems and offers a completely good result.

This new Google application will help with your old photos

Using it is really very simple: you launch the application and let it guide you. In a few seconds you can get photos of your childhood on your smartphone to immortalize them on the internet or simply just keep them on your device.



Adobe Photoshop Sketch

Yet another Photoshop application, you say. If you have a creative soul, you will find joy in it since you can use pencils and other types of markers to create your art pieces. If you want to, you can also go and look at other community members’ works; some of their pieces are really excellent.

I am not a professional artist, but I find it quite difficult to draw on a phone. It might be more pleasant on tablets with a stylus, of course.



Fingerprint Gestures

If you have a newer smartphone, it may be equipped with a fingerprint sensor. The problem is that most manufacturers have implemented only two functions in this sensor: device unlock and making payments. Some devices such as Huawei and Google allow you to customize the button to perform specific actions with a simple gesture with the sensor: show the notifications menu, open an application etc..

Fingerprint gestures allow you to configure your device so that it reacts when you tap, double-tap or when you touch it. Among the possible actions, you can choose to associate an action with a button, to open the notifications panel, manage music, and more.



Pepo

Pepo is an application dedicated to communication that just came out in October, so it will keep evolving. The concept is pretty simple: you can share the elements of your life with your contacts or with the public. In itself, it's nothing really revolutionary since all social networks offer basically the same thing. But, Pepo is a little different.

On the main screen, there are several public topics of conversation listed in which you can participate, from technology, to sports, to pictures of animals. In the side menu, you can access the conversations/topics published by your friends, friends of friends and those nearby. You will be able to communicate text, pictures and even video. You can also have secret chats.

The app is inspired by the likes of Twitter, Instagram and Slack, and allows you to follow and have followers.

There's still work to do, but the application has potential.



That's all for now folks. stay tuned for more new apps.

Thanks for sharing this information.

I've always worried that some important photos would be lost forever in case of an accident such as fire. Now I know better; PhotoScan will help me to get around this challenge.

Thanks for keeping us updated! Among those apps, I am most excited about PhotoScan. That is very convenient as opposed to photocopying documents. Sound great if you want to be as paperless as you can be when it comes to reports and documentations.

Interesting.

How about customizing my smartphone such that I can make a call by simply touching the screen? Is this a possibility?
