It is needless to say that a key board of a smart phone plays very important role. If the Keyboard is not good, it is like jumping into the sea without a life guard. If we look at the security point , you should go for a useful Keyboard app because they are of nature key loggers. You should be rest assured about the text, password or emails that you type on your phone because mostly they are hacked by various ways . There are good number of keyboard apps, each one have its own features, followings and flaws. They are actually simplistic and also bleeding-edge keyboards. The list of their features is very long as compared to the keyboard of a smart phone. Here we are giving the details of few ones, from where you can choose as per your taste and lifestyle.

Keyboard Apps for Android Smartphone

SwiftKey Keyboard 

SwiftKey has come a long way and has held the title of Android’s best selling keyboard for several years. Fortunately, now it’s available for free and has truly evolved into an intelligent keyboard fit to be on a smartphone. The best feature of SwiftKey was it’s prediction feature, really taking the work out of typing by learning your style, use of words and sentence construction to suggest words you naturally type.

However, then came along the flow feature, inspired by Swype, which took the keyboard to a whole new level for me. To be honest, texting and emailing from my Android phone was never faster. Once you download and set it up, you can also go to the themes section to browse a good variety of different skins and color combinations which make it more interesting.

I would like to point out some issues however, such as the keyboard randomly resetting its dictionary. Fortunately, there is a cloud storage option which allows you to sync your keyboard with your account to restore your language data and use it across all your Android devices. I’ve also experienced freezes, slow loading and lagging issues, but overall the keyboard is truly superb and a must if you haven’t tried it as yet.

GO Keyboard

GO Keyboard suffers from the same stigma as other GO products. Some people absolutely love it and some people absolutely hate it. That said, GO keyboard is a fun option if you like your keyboard to look really busy. There are themes galore along with things like emoji support. The only issue is that it is really busy almost to the point of being cartoony. It is free, though, and that’s always a big plus.

Fleksy

Fleksy has become one of the most popular keyboard apps in a very short span of time and deservedly so. Fleksy brings one of the best tap typing experience. It’s sleek and the keyboard looks amazing, thanks to some quirky animations and a ton of themes. Along with looks, the app lets you customize size of the keyboard and its keys. It also packs extensions like Hotkeys, which lets you add a row of symbols or emojis that you use often. Other extensions include invisible keyboard, shortcuts and more.

Fleksy supports GIFs along with hundreds of emojis, fun badges and more. There are also a number of cool gestures for various features like correction, punctuation and more. Fleksy supports a number of languages including the likes of Italian, Indonesian, Russian, Spanish and many more. It also supports the most popular keyboard layouts like QWERTY, AZERTY, QWERTZ, Dvorak and Colemak. The only thing missing here is flow/swipe/gesture typing support but Fleksy’s tap typing is so good that you should be pretty satisfied using it. Moreover, the app is available for free on the Play Store.

Adaptxt

If there was an award for best-looking keyboard, Adaptxt would win it hands - or fingers - down. Its spacious and airy layout and translucent graphics make it look and feel like something you'd find on a premium laptop - albeit in a virtual form.

Adaptxt also includes a handful of incredibly useful features. At the time of writing the Olympics are about to begin, and typing sports-related keywords lights a lightbulb icon at the bottom of the screen which takes you straight to the relevant Wikipedia page. There's also an incredibly handy option to post whatever you're writing straight to Twitter or Facebook without having to launch the relevant apps, which is great if you're midway through a witty text or email.

On top of that there's the ability to remove accents and diacritics, which add extra characters to text messages - something we naively didn't realise.

Adaptxt is an innovative and super-smart keyboard, and one of the best we've come across. There's even a private mode so certain words and phrases won't be stored in its dictionary, making it ideal if you share your phone or tablet with someone else.

TouchPal

This keyboard is a lesser-organized we can say. But there are definitely few useful features which have helped the keyboard to come up fast and get about 10 millions installs. This has also the paid theme features, but you also have the choice and option to upload your background image and make it free of your own.

November 2015

Facebook bought WhatsApp for $19 billion. Facebook – when you combine Messenger and WhatsApp – now controls around 79% of the IM market. Zuckerberg says Facebook won’t touch the look and feel of Whatsapp, so things are likely to stay the same for the foreseeable. He also confirmed that Messenger and Whatsapp will continue to co-exist as applications in their own right with little to no cross over.

Why IM is Very Important

Traditional SMS is on borrowed time and in a couple of years everything will be done over data, the wheels for this change are already in motion. Whatsapp has a huge user base of active monthly users and processes some 18 billion messages a day, according to the company’s CEO Jan Koum.

BBM recently clocked up 20 million downloads across Android and iOS, and services like WeChat and Viber continue to grow. As the years progress more and more people will begin ditching traditional SMS in favour of services like Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger and to a lesser extent BBM. Matter of fact, the five biggest messenger apps - Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, Viber, WeChat and Line - have more than 3 billion daily users.

Facebook Messenger vs WhatsApp Messenger

Similarities Between Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp

Obviously, the greatest similarity between Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp is that both IM apps are owned by the technology giant, Facebook.Both Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp are used by hundreds of millions of users. Collectively, the two messaging apps take up nearly 80% of the instant messaging market.

At the moment, you can log in to Facebook Messenger independently. Previously, one had to log into Facebook to use this messaging app. In this regard, Facebook Messenger has become just like WhatsApp, which is also an independent app that does not require any other apps to provide full functionality.

Both WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger are available on several platforms. Either of these apps can be downloaded on iOS, Windows Phone, and even Android. In addition, both WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger can be downloaded and installed for free. Signing up to both apps is also free of charge.

Facebook Messenger

The interface is simple, blue, and it informs the user when his/her contacts are online, no matter if they’re logged on the website or on Messenger. The application has pretty much most of the features as the website, offering free voice calling, time stamps and read confirmations, the ability to send photos, voice messages, stickers, location data, to create group chats and to chat with individual contacts.

To use Facebook Messenger, you will need to create an account on the official website and you’ll be required to provide a valid email address and a password. You will be able to call your friends, who live in all parts of the world, for free, if they use this service. In addition, you can post photos, update statuses, like or comment to images etc. The downside of this application is that there isn’t a logout button, so if you don’t want to receive notifications continuously, you’ll need to disable Mobile Data or WiFi. If your internet connection isn’t that great, we recommend you to install Facebook Lite.

WhatsApp

The best part about it is that you don’t need an email address, but your mobile number, in order to get verified. The disadvantage is that you will use the application only on your smartphone and likewise Facebook Messenger, it lacks the logout button. Since February, the voice calling feature is available for Android, but gradually, it was added to other important platforms as well. After one year, you will pay 99 cents to continue using WhatsApp, but it’s worth paying this sum, since there are many features that make this application worth installing. Unfortunately, you can’t play games as on Facebook Messenger, but you can create group chats and add up to 100 members.

Tower defense games have a smaller but fiercely loyal following. Generally, they require a lot more thinking than actual action and that makes them perfect for those who want something akin to a time waster but with more substance. It also happens to be one of the most popular genres in all of Android gaming so here are the best Android tower defense games.


Best Tower Defence Games

Tower Raiders 2 GOLD

Here, you are put in charge of defending 20 power crystals from the raiders. The game has 24 different levels with increasing difficulty and even if you were to pass all levels in a single try, the game is a lengthy one taking nearly 20 hours. The basic aim is to build platforms to fire weapons at enemies who are trying to get across the screen with the intent of stealing the power crystals. You must use strategy to funnel your enemies down a long path so that you finish them off before they lay hands on power crystals.

Castle Defense

Castle Defense is a fairly typical tower defence game. There are waves of bad guys that walk along a set path and you must set up troops and defences to destroy them. The graphics are okay and the game play is easy to pick up. It is free to play with in app purchases and in the tower defence arena, that means you’ll have to do a significant amount of grinding to avoid forking out real money. If you’re okay with the grind or with forking out a few bucks for in app purchases then this is a fun (and free) game to pick up!

Anomaly War-zone Earth HD

Take control of the attacking force, pitting your heavily armored squad against the destructive towers of an alien horde. Carefully lead your squad through the invaders’ defenses, shattering their towers and turrets with special weapons and power-ups in this ground breaking new experience in tower offense.

Defender

The enemies in this tower defense game are fast so do not think they will give up easily or that you would be able to destroy them like you used to do in the Flash games when you were a kid. If you have played Plant vs. Zombies, you’ll enjoy this game; you are a shooter and have arrows to shoot at monsters that are trying to invade your castle. You use the touch screen to shoot the arrows. With each passing level, the damage power of arrows increases – but so does the speed and strength of the enemies.

Plants vs. Zombies 2

The sequel to the original game that was first developed for PC fits right in on a mobile device. The gameplay is similar to the first edition, but there are a lot more add-ons that make it worth playing through, even if you feel like you’ve already conquered the Plants vs. Zombies world.

For the uninitated, you must use an arsenal of fauna to fend off the undead. Unlike other games where you set up your defenses and sit back, Plants vs. Zombies 2 relies on furiously replenishing your garden army. The sequel also throws in some fun backgrounds, taking you to Ancient Egypt and the Dark Ages. The interlude sequences are rather annoying, and of course EA throws in plenty of in-app upgrade choices. But as someone who conquered the first game and never tried the new one, I can strongly recommend it and believe there’s a lot to bring you back.

Kingdom Rush and Kingdom Rush Frontiers

The Kingdom Rush series is one of the most prolific and highly rated games on the list. It’s a classic tower defense game with large maps, plenty of towers, achievements, and even heroes that you can drop to fight alongside your towers. The graphics are decent and things like a competent soundtrack and sound effects create a more well-rounded experience. Some people liked the first one better while others like the second better. Some play both. The button will take you to the developer page on Google Play so you can check them both out.
