Worldscope Webcams Android App Update

2011-11-28T07:17:00.001-08:00

A new major version of our Android App "Worldscope Webcams" has been released by the Kukurin Android Team. "With many webcam apps in Android Marketplace, Kukurin Android Team had to make the Worldscope Webcams app the best webcam viewer that displays thousands of updated webcam shots comfortably on a user’s Android powered device." it says.

“In my opinion, the biggest advantage of Worldscope is the huge database of webcams; over 16,000 and growing,” states Goran Kukurin, Worldscope’s founder and CEO. “Our partnership with Webcams.travel gives us a few advantages; one being as soon as a webcam is added in their database, it’s immediately available for our app users.”

One of the best features of Worldscope Webcams is the ability to set a desired location’s webcam as a homescreen background. As the webcam refreshes throughout the day, the images on the homescreen also refresh. The user automatically sees what is happening hundreds or even thousands of miles away on their Android device’s homescreen. Worldscope Webcams’ homescreen function sets anyone’s Android device as a private webcam oasis with 16,000+ potential updated images.

Anyone who has ever traveled knows the feeling of wanting to revisit a prior destination. "I've set my wallpaper images to stream from a webcam in New York City’s Mid-Town Manhattan. That was my first home and it feels good to see the taxi cabs and buses go by on my phone throughout the day," said Lana Moore, Worldscope’s Marketing Assistant. “I currently live in South Carolina, USA, so I feel like I have a piece of the city with me at all times.”

Other functions of Worldscope Webcams include the ability to search for webcams near specified locations, on a map, or using keywords, saving webcams on favorite a list, and sharing on various social media streams, just to name a few.

Worldscope Webcams is a free, ad-supported app that can be converted to ad-free through an easy in-app purchase through PayPal. Kukurin Android Team is dedicated to their app users by focusing on improving the overall functionality of the Worldscope Webcams app adding new features for a more robust user experience.

Japanese and Russian Translation Update

2011-03-25T07:40:00.000-07:00

Yesterday we updated the Japanese translation of webcams.travel. Yoko was so kind to revisit the translation. The old translation was only 50% complete because in the course of time many new sentences came along that haven't been translated. According to Yoko, the old translation had some strange formulations in it that were not commonly used in Japan. Now everything is new and shiny. Please give it a try. Thank you Yoko!

Along with the Japanese translation update, Alexandr updated the Russian translation which is always in good shape. Thank you Alexandr!
