A free version of McAfees Mobile Security app for Android has hit Googles Play store.


Announced at MWC 2014, the move to offer McAfee Mobile Security for free is part of an intiative by its parent company, Intel, to "integrate security more deeply into the consumer experience." The plans to offer free mobile protection were unveiled by Intel CEO Brian Krzanich at CES 2014.

McAfees Mobile Security for iOS is already available for free, but its Android that particularly needs protection from online nasties. According to a report by NQ Mobile, Android malware accounted for 95% of all smartphone infections in 2012.

AV-Best

McAfee Mobile Security received a 100% detection score and was given a top ranking in recent independent testing by AV-Test. It features anti-theft, anti-virus, app protection, Web protection, call and SMS filtering functionality.

A new Wi-Fi Security feature alerts users to any risky or non-protected networks to which they may be connecting.

Additionally, a CaptureCam feature will take a picture of whoever is holding the device in the event of it being stolen and will send it to the owner, and an SOS feature can log the last location of the device before battery life expires if it is misplaced or stolen.

Wordeo has launched as a new video messaging app, the first to offer full access to Getty stock footage.

A Flappy Bird Windows Phone app is on the way as developers confirm the latest app-based gaming sensation will spread its wings away from its iOS and Android foundations next week.

If youve recently updated your smartphone to Android 4.4.2 KitKat and have noticed some abnormally high battery drain youre not alone - but Google is on the case.


Apparently some Android handsets are seeing battery life diminish at a rate of knots after opening the camera application as a result of the phones CPU maxing out.

While Googles fix will be able to alleviate the problem on the likes of the Nexus 5 and Nexus 4, those rocking a HTC, Samsung or any other Android device with a UI skin will have to wait for the relevant manufacturer to address the issue separately.

Reboot, for now

Theres currently no time frame on Googles fix to roll out to handsets, but its expected to arrive as part of the Android 4.4.3 package - so keep your eyes peeled.

In the meantime a quick reboot of your device is said to provide a temporary solution to the excessive battery drain, but it wont fix the problem.

Nokia has launched the Lumia Black update for Nokia Lumia Windows Phone 8 devices.

Flappy Bird developer Dong Nguyen has suggested that the hugely popular app-based game will be removed from the iOS and Android stores later today.


Despite reportedly generating more than $50,000 (£30,469) per day in ad revenues, the Vietnamese developer has Tweeted that Flappy Bird is to be pulled from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store within a matter of hours, stating “I can’t take it anymore.”

“I am sorry Flappy Bird users, 22 hours from now, I will take Flappy Bird down. I cannot take this anymore,” Nguyen Tweeted 19 hours ago, giving the game just three hours of life left at the time of writing.

Having become the latest global app sensation, Nguyen appears to have grown weary of Flappy Bird’s success stating: “Press people are overrating the success of my games. It is something I never want. Please give me peace."

Flappy Bird, an 8-bit inspired game which requires users to navigate a series of gaps formed by Mario-esque green tunnels, by tapping the screen to flap the bird’s wings is currently atop both the iOS and Android free download charts.

Although questions have been raised around Flappy Bird’s similarities with Mario, and former app hit Tiny Wings, independent developer Nguyen has insisted that the decision to remove the app is not based on legal pressures.

“It is not anything related to legal issues. I just cannot keep it anymore,” Nguyen stated via his official Twitter feed.

He added: “I also dont sell Flappy Bird, please dont ask.”

Although promising to remove Flappy Bird from sale later today, Nguyen has insisted this will not be his last app-based effort, stating: “I still make games.”

Earlier this week it was revealed that a Flappy Bird Windows Phone app would be released next week, a launch that now looks to be in jeopardy.

Microsoft-owned VoIP app Skype has updated its wares for iOS users, allowing them to send unlimited free video messages to fellow users.


The newly-tuned app lifts restrictions on video clips, which had previously limited users to just 20 free videos a month unless they upgraded to the $4.99 Skype Premium subscription.

The update comes just over a week after Skype announced it would be making video messages completely free on all platforms.

In a blog post at the time the company said: "Video messaging is now available to all Skype users. You can send and receive as many video messages as you want – completely free of charge. Video messages can be received and viewed on any platform or device running Skype."

The functionality allows users to send video messages up to three minutes in length from Skypes smartphone, tablets and Windows and Mac apps.

Its proved popular for those wishing to send personal video messages quickly and easily, while its also a good alternative if users are unable to make contact when attempting to make a live voice and video call.

As well as some general fixes and improvements, the app also improves video and audio call stability and brings more reliable photo sharing.

Earlier this month the company had rolled out the video message feature, which first appeared for iOS, Android and Mac users in February, to BlackBerry, Windows 8 and Windows desktop users.

Strangely, considering Microsoft owns the company, the feature is yet to hit Windows Phone.

A number of top iOS apps and games have seen their prices slashed to zero, coinciding with the App Stores fifth birthday.


While Apple hasnt made any official announcement yet, its clear that some special celebrations are in store to mark the iOS App Store hitting five this week.

To kick things off, some apps and games have already been made free to download. These are some premium offerings, too.

On the games front, the likes of Tiny Wings (both the iPhone and iPad versions), Infinity Blade II, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, Wheres My Water? and Badland can all be picked up for nothing.

The Unreal Engine-powered Infinity Blade II in particular is a bit of a steal, as it usually costs £4.99. Badland formerly cost £2.49.

When it comes to apps, there are some even more generous offers. Traktor DJ, an acclaimed pro music mixing app, normally costs £13.99, but is now free.

Day One, a polished journal app; Over, which lets you overlay your photos with professional-looking text; and Barefoot World Atlas, an interactive 3D globe for kids, have also gone free.

None of these apps or games have any blurb to explain the price drop, but wed bet anything that Apple will announce something later this week - possibly on Wednesday, which will mark five years to the day since the iOS App Store first came online.

Apple has announced that sales on the App Store topped $10 billion in 2013, with December marked as the most successful month ever.

The Google Play store is two years old today and Google is celebrating this fact with discounting the thing that everyone in the world hates - in-app purchases.


From today you can get a multitude of slashed in-app discounts - including a free cats eye for Bejeweled Blitz, premium Dungeon Keeper for a limited time, and the ability to adopt a toddler in Sim FreePlay. Which isnt that free to play as you spend all of your money on in-app purchases.

There are also some cheap movies if you can pry yourself away from Dungeon Keeper and music, possibly to drown out the screams of "these discounts are rubbish, Google" from disheartened Android users.

Twitters Vine video app has graduated to a new platform this weekend and is now available to download from the Amazon app store for Kindle Fire tablets.


The app, which allows users to create and upload short, 6-second video clips, had only been available on Apples iPhone or Android smartphones.

Vines arrival on Kindle Fire is the first time the app has been optimised specifically for a tablet device.

The decision to launch on the Kindle Fire is somewhat surprising considering the questionable quality of the devices front-facing camera and the lack of any rear-facing camera.

Theres also no Vine app for Windows Phone and BlackBerry 10 at this time.

Instagram attacks

Vines expansion comes following new competition from Facebook-owned Instagram, which rolled out its own short video feature earlier this month.

Reports this week had suggested uploads to Vine had taken a hit as a result of Instagrams encroachment on its reason for being.

To combat the new rival, Twitter updated the Vine Android app earlier this week to include support for the front-facing camera, bringing it in line with the iOS app.
