With the invention of social media hasn't our lives become
so convenient. Well gone are those days when finding out the nearest place to
go clubbing, or the nearest doctor or finding out the nearest restaurant for
that matter used to be a Herculean task.But today the times have
changed.Searching information today has probably become the most easiest things
in the world .All that we need are so
easily available at our disposal at our disposal in that small gadget that
almost every individual carry with them, be it a Sony Xperia Z2 or the new Iphone 5S.
OK. So let me ask you guys a few
questions what is it that you guys do when you guys when you people have to
find out about any convenience/service/products provider in the town? JUST
DIAL…SULEKHA??If yes…then I sympathize with you guys for being the most outdated
citizens of the country. Confused?? Well I’ll be clearing the confusion in a
while.
So do you people still use hand
fans keep yourself cool during summers when you know it is the age of air conditioners?
Do you people still store water in earthen pots (surahi) when you know refrigerators
can cool water in a jiffy? Similarly why waste your time in the getting harassed
for phone numbers/email addresses by all these directory sites and apps. And
these private information which we give out so carelessly is sold to third parties
later. Yes, that’s database marketing.
Confusion?? Again??So what to do
now. Alright the answer to all your doubts is “AskMe” a small and a simple app that I discovered one fine day while
I was surfing the net. So let me tell a little something about this act:
PROS
*The app is has a pleasant blue color which is very catchy. The fonts
used are clear. On the whole the interface of the app is not fussy. It’s
precise, clear simple and attractive.
*Whenever you start the app it
asks you about you location so that it can get you results which are
geographically closer to you. All you have to do is provide it with your input
about what is it that you are looking for and then sit back and relax as the
app does its work.
* You can post ads on AskMe as well.
So we have the advantages of sites like OLX and Quikr clubbed under one head. All
you have to do is provide information about your stuff and then post your offer
and that’s all your work is done. Indeed it’s a multi-functional app.
* Similarly you can posts deal as well
following the same steps that you will have to follow while posting an ad
* The AskMe Bazar is the place
where you find tons of offers. You get discounts, free goodies in this section.
So this is one of the sections that I like the most.
* Not to forget this app is
endorsed by Ranbir Kapoor. Isn’t that reason enough for this app to be an
integral part of your cell phones, Girls specially?
* AskMe videos are there for the
promotion of this app and for the fans of Ranbir Kapoor. This section has their
YouTube channel.
CONS:
Not much to write in this section.
Call me biased if you want to. So a few problems that I faced while using this
app are:
* Navigation is a little difficult
if the size of your screen is small. If you have a huge 5 inch screen it won’t
give you any problems but it becomes a little tough to navigate in the smaller
phones.
* The Celkon pop up in the AskMe session is irritating as it hides the goodies behind it. I found it very irritating.
So AskMe is the answer to all you
confusions. One can’t help but admire the level of simplicity that is there in
the app. It’s extremely user friendly. It’s very neat and very appealing to the
eyes. I am simply in love with this app. The fonts used are excellent. I have
tested the application and it functions flawlessly. So no more being nagged for
your phone numbers or email id’s. Here is an all in one solution for it. The
app is properly structured and is clear and neat which makes reading and
choosing from it an absolute pleasure. It works fine on both 2G and 3G connections. No lags and runs smoothly.
So I would conclude by saying that
this app has a little something for everyone. I hope you will give it a try and
I am sure that you will love it.
