QuickShot HD Camera app helps you capture those easy-to-miss moments

Has it ever happened to you? You know, a sweet or silly moment with your kids…or a cool, rare sports car driving by. You try to get out your phone to capture the moment, but by the time you fish it out of your pocket, unlock it, fumble to find the camera app, wait for it to load, focus and snap, the moment is long gone; forever lost. Isn’t there a better solution to capturing those hard to get shots?

Enter QuickShot HD. This awesome app is a super fast way to quickly capture those fleeting moments. Simply add an icon to your homescreen and the next time you see something you want to photograph, point your phone in that general direction and tap the icon. That’s it. The picture will then be saved to your gallery. You didn’t have to wait for the app to open, focus or even click the shutter button. It’s a one step process that will ensure you capture those easy-to-miss moments. Some of you might be thinking, “Ya right…how am I supposed to take a decent picture without seeing what I’m shooting?” Well, the developer of the app has you covered. There’s a second icon that you can add to your screen that will take multiple, continuous shots until you press the icon again, ensuring that you’ll get at least one good shot out of the few dozen snapped.

The app costs $3 and is available on Google Play. Three dollars is a little pricey for a camera app, but if making sure you don’t miss any more important photos is a high priority for you, it might be worth your coin. Just hit one of the download links to get started.

72% percent of Android apps pose a potential security risk, says study

According to a recent study, 72 percent of all Android applications in the Google Play Store request access to at least one extraneous permission that it doesn’t inherently need to function properly. This number may seem alarming, but let’s break down some of the research firm’s so-called “results.”

According to the published findings:

• 72 percent of all Android apps (more than 290,000) access at least one high-risk permission.
• 21 percent (more than 86,000) access five or more.
• 2 percent (more than 8,000) access 10 or more permissions flagged as potentially dangerous.

As you can see, Bit9 claims 290,000 apps to be labeled as “high risk” which it says equates to 72 percent of all apps available on the Play Store. But wait–Google just announced that the Play Store now houses over 700,000 total applications. So, it appears as though the company’s findings were based on a sample of 400,000 apps. A statement from Bit9 reveals the method by which risky apps were determined:
