Android app Day by Day helps you achieve goals

If you subscribe to Jerry Seinfeld's Don't Break the Chain productivity method, this Android app might help you out. Called Day by Day, it helps you mark off each day you spend time working on a goal. The app can help remind you to do said activity per day and shows a check mark if you achieve it. If you don't, then you break the chain. The app lets you add to goals for free. If you want to add more, you need to pay US$1.50.

LG V20 comes to Bell, Fido, and Rogers on March 9th

Looks like the LG V20 has been getting the attention of Canadian users. LG Electronics just announced that it’ll be bringing the V20 to three more carriers on March 9th. It’ll be coming to Bell, Fido, and Rogers. According to a press statement from Shelly Walia, brand manager for Mobile Communications at LG Electronics Canada, “The positive reaction post-launch in October drove us to secure additional Canadian partners. We’re proud to partner with Bell, Fido, Freedom Mobile, Rogers, and Videotron to ensure people have options.” If you’ve been waiting for the V20 to get to your carrier, now seems like a good time to buy a unit.

LG obtains 40,000 pre-orders for the G6 in 4 days, announces Android Nougat update for G4 and V10

While LG hasn’t said where it obtained its pre-orders, the G6 seems to be off to a good start. The South Korean company announced that it already received 40,000 pre-orders for the flagship device. It’s deemed impressive especially since this happened in the span of four days. The pre-orders are most likely from South Korea as pre-orders in other regions haven’t started yet. In the same press release that announced these figures, LG also announced that the flagship will be coming out in Korea on March 10th for 899,800 won or around CA$1,000.

As 9to5Google reports, LG is also bringing some good news to G4 and V10 users. The two smartphones are slated to get Android Nougat update after customer backlash over reports that it wasn’t going to bring the update to the devices. The V10 is expected to get the Nougat update during the second half of 2017, while the G4 will be getting it sometime in the third quarter of this year. The caveat is this schedule is for Korea and there’s no word yet about other regions.

Google Maps promotes Kong’s Skull Island

Google has done many movie tie-ins in the past. This time around, Google Maps works with Legendary for the upcoming release of Kong: Skull Island. You can’t exactly see the island on the map as it’s just a blip on the south of the equator in the Pacific Ocean. But it does get an info page of sorts that links it as an Archeological Site and has a link to the official tie-in website that lets you explore the island and the creatures on it. You can also leave a review, if you want. Kong: Skull Island comes out in Canada on March 10.
