Apps that every Gentleman should have in his smart phone
Your phone is best friend these days you use it for everything like getting more knowledge, sharing things or entertainment.
But smartphone can be used for useful purpose once you have proper tools.
I’ve created a lit of usefull apps that every modern gentleman should have on his smartphone.
From Duolingo to how to cook everything in the event of a deadly snake bite, these apps will make any man’s life easier.
1Duolingo
A modern gentleman is always learning, and that includes new languages.
A quick and easy way to do that is with Duolingo, which provides easy to follow lessons that anyone can complete in a spare minute or two. Fluency in one of Duolingo’s 10 languages is only a few taps away.
2Sworkit
You don’t need a personal trainer — there’s an app for that. Just enter in your goals and what kind of workout you’d like to do, and a personalized plan will be created just for you. Then watch the videos of trainers doing the exercises, which are then easy to repeat.
3Flightaware
If you’re a frequent flier, Flightaware is a lifesaver. It tells you everything about where your flight is, if it’s delayed and why, gate numbers, where it’s coming from, and more. After all, when flying knowledge is power.
4Weber’s Grill
With Weber’s Grill, you don’t need to actually be a grill master — but everyone will think you’re one. It tells you how to cook things, how long to cook things, and is chock full of grilling tips you never knew.
5SAS Survival Guide
It’s not every day you need to know how to treat a snake bite, but when it comes time for that knowledge to come in handy, you’re going to be glad you downloaded SAS Survival Guide. Based off a book by the same name written by a real British special forces trainer, it has everything you need to know when confronted with life-threatening situations.
6How to Cook Everything
When How to Cook Everything promises that it will teach you how to cook everything, it really means it. Required for a man who is clueless in the kitchen but desires to not be.
How to Cook Everything is available for $10 on iOS.

Currently, it’s in the testing phase, Google navigation is offered through Google Maps and anyone using the latest version of Google Maps app should be able to run it.
Well, its worth to mention the older version of Google Maps had turned by turn navigation by it as manual didn’t offer automatic voice guided navigation.s.
After this update, users can use turn by turn navigation and real-time location along with voice-guided feature available.

- Real-time location update and route determination
- Search your route for restaurants, petrol stations and etc.

Samsung
Virtual reality can make you think you're racing down a speedway in a zooming car. But if you can see the scene all around you, why can't you feel it as well, taking in the motion as you hug the turns?
That's what Entrim 4D headphones, unveiled this week at the South by Southwest tech, film and music festival in Austin, Texas, try to deliver. The prototype device is from Samsung's Creative Lab, a startup "incubator" that lets employees take time out from their full-time jobs to develop product ideas.
Unlike with most headphones, the main purpose of the Entrim 4D is not to pump out sound, though it does that, too. Instead, the marquee feature is that it sends an electrical signal to the nerve of your ear, which regulates balance and motion. That tricks your brain into thinking you're moving.
"Most VR demos, you're in a chair," Steve Jung, the 32-year-old head of the project, said in an interview Tuesday. His point is that motion usually isn't part of the VR experience.
If he can make it work, that could add a crucial element to virtual reality, bringing a fuller sensory experience to an already immersive environment. In fact, Entrim is a shortening of "enter the immersive world," said Jung. Anything that can add to the experience is key, given Silicon Valley's obsession with the medium. Google, HTC and Facebook -- with which Samsung partnered for its Gear VR headset through Oculus, the social network's virtual reality company -- all have their own efforts in the works.
I tried the Entrim 4D with a race car demo. It really does feel like you're moving, though the feeling I got was a little more like seasickness. The movement does match up with the video. When I moved my head to the left with a turn, I feel a swaying motion. But it feels more like you're rocking back and forth on a boat, instead of looping through a racetrack.
When Jung asked me how it felt, I told him I feel a little dizzy.
Yoon Chiyuh, the project's hardware engineer, said the sensation is realistic. "When you're in a car, you feel dizzy," he said. "It's the same."
Jung said he got the idea from a friend, an emergency medical technician, who told him about vestibular signals to the ear. Samsung says it's safe. Jung explains the same methods are used to train pilots and help restore balance to stroke patients.
The team tested the product on 1,500 people to hone the experience, and it developed 30 different movement patterns. You can, thankfully, adjust the level of the motion to make the feeling less intense.
