Readly

Image
One-minute review Readly makes it supremely easy to get all your favourite print magazines in one digital place for a pretty affordable price. There’s no need to pay separate subscription fees for each magazine you want – with Readly, you just pay the one fee and you get access to something like 5,000 magazines from around the world. Yes, there are magazines in several languages available on Readly and they’re all mixed in, although you can filter by language if you wish. If you don’t filter, there seems to be no apparent order in which the magazines are presented to you the first time you sign up, or when you’re browsing to discover new content. Finding new magazines to read is remarkably simple. While Readly will throw up suggestions on what you’ve previously read, the search feature is very quick and filters only the specific category you’ve searched for, no mix-ups there. No matter what platform you’re using Readly on – PC, tablet or phone – the user interface is simple and smo...

Poco F3 GT

Image
Two-minute review Poco F3 GT review: The Xiaomi Poco F1 was an iconic device in many ways when it launched in 2018, proving that it was possible to have a high-performance smartphone for a reasonable price. Naturally, it got users excited for its follow-up and to see what else Poco could pull off. But, that never happened. After three long years (in a time when smartphone refresh cycles are close to six months), Poco has finally launched a new flagship smartphone in India — the Poco F3 GT. While it is a part of the high-end F series, it actually marks the start of a new product philosophy for the brand, no longer just focussing on the performance. So, if you were in the market for a powerful yet affordable gaming smartphone in India, this is not it. The Poco X3 Pro will be better suited for gamers and power users. The Poco F3 GT will move to a new, higher positioning which will also focus on the design, cameras and the overall experience — as will upcoming devices in the F seri...

That continues with the new Hisense U8G ULED which the Chinese electronics manufacturer aptly describes as “Great For Everything.” It's a fitting description for the ULED 4K Android TV that’s sure to please everyone from gamers with next-generation consoles to movie lovers and anyone else in-between.  Besides offering a full suite of Dolby features including Vision, IQ and Atmos, the U8G also packs in HDR10+ and native 120Hz panel.

NCR Silver point of sale (POS) review

Image
NCR Silver POS is an iPad-based POS system from the NCR Corporation (originally National Cash Register) that builds on 135 years of experience in the industry. The company is much larger than many of the start-ups in the POS and mobile payments space, but this has its benefits.  NCR has developed a number of other POS systems, including Aloha POS for restaurants and Counterpoint for retailers, and the firm has certainly leveraged this experience while developing NCR Silver. The back office reporting options are great. I can review, track & adjust orders. I also like the options with accounting & tax paperwork. I can see as I add more info, this software will work even better for my company. Stacie G. via Capterra NCR Silver POS sets itself apart from the competition by offering full 24/7 live support as well as a wide range of software and hardware bundles. If the company’s hardware bundles don’t necessarily work for your business, you’re free to assemble your ...
