Make quick, easy-to-remember notes with Notification Reminder

Sometimes you just want to jot down something quickly and be reminded at a later time, like buying milk after work. A new Android app called Notification Reminder will help you do just that. As its name suggests, you can make little notes and reminders that you can access and be reminded of at a later time via notification. You can quickly create notification reminders within three seconds, set a Snooze Reminder, update or share notes, or view your note history. You also have the option to create a reminder that is “clear-able” or one with “Persistent on going notification.” You can have the app close once you create the note.

It’s a simple app that follows Material Design. So, if you just want those quick reminders, you might want to check this out.

Google+ takes on Pinterest with Collections

Google’s social network has been criticized for looking to similar to Facebook. This time, Google+ seems to be borrowing from another more visual social network, Pinterest. Google just launched a new Collections feature that lets its users create content collections based on interests. Collections show a group of posts on a specific topic, it can be shared publicly or to select people, or just for yourself. Once you use this feature, a new Collections tab will show up on your profile.

The new feature is available on the web version and Android. iOS support is coming soon.

Samsung to release an ‘Iron Man’ version of the Galaxy S6 Edge

Samsung has a marketing partnership with Marvel. So, it makes sense that they’ll try to bring that partnership to their devices. Samsung announced that they will be releasing a special Iron Man edition of their Galaxy S6 Edge. And of course, it will be available in red. This version of the S6 Edge is said to come out at the end of May at the earliest or sometime in June. They didn’t specify what other special features will be coming with this Iron Man edition so we’ll have to wait for the unveiling.

So, who else from the Marvel Universe would you like to see get their own special edition smartphone?

It is thinner, lighter and more refined than previous versions. The Surface 3 starts at CAD $639.00 and that's without the requisite CAD $159.99 Type Cover and the optional $49.99 Pen.
