The EZ Weather HD App for Android



There are many weather apps out there allowing you to keep up to date with the current weather situation in your area. Some of them are beautiful, but clunky or inaccurate.  Still others are accurate and useful but hideous to look at.  You might even get a pretty and useful app that just so happens to suck the very life out of your monthly data allotment! Some even kind of hit the middle ground in all these areas, but few of them are as easy to use AND as elegant as the EZ Weather HD app on android, while giving you options to reduce the strain on your data usage. With a simple, clean and beautiful Holo interface as well as the ability to customize the app heavily through the use of themes and the multiple options available on the EZ Weather HD’s widget, the free EZ Weather HD app available on Google Play is this consumer’s weather app of choice and definitely one of the top five I have ever used!
If you are anything at all like me and have an active family life, travel a lot for business or pleasure, or even just like to spend a great deal of time outdoors then knowing the weather forecast is of the utmost importance!  Most would find it very useful to know if it plans to rain on your camping trip or be blazing hot before they put on their jeans and sweater.
The EZ Weather HD app not only gives you the current temperature and weather, but will also deliver this information to you for a full week in advance!  Don’t need to know the weather seven days from now? No problem, it also gives you daily and hourly forecasts for any location!
Among the first things you are likely to notice is the well done minimalist design which follows Google’s Holo design making it a striking yet easy to use app.  Upon actually opening the app for the first time you will also notice how clearly you can see the temperature and weather indicator as well as the upcoming forecast and your current location.Also available are other weather details, such as; current visibility, pressure, dew point and even UV levels! You can also easily flip back and forth between the hourly forecast and the seven day forecast just with the push of a button allowing you to keep up to date on any forthcoming weather changes as soon as they are available.
Another great facet to the EZ Weather HD app is that it is completely FREE! Now I know what you’re saying…if its free that means I’ll have to put up with annoying ads all over the place! NOPE! Nothing could be further from the truth. There are no ugly advertising banners cluttering up your app or your widget!  This is a major plus for me as many of the other apps I used, even some which are premium apps which I had to purchase, are simply filled with these unattractive and space stealing banners.
The EZ Weather HD app widget makes this app one of my most used, as it’s right on my home screen and have even replaced my default clock.  It is by and large one of the easiest weather apps I have used or seen thus far and with its Holo-themed minimalist interface is both functional and nice to look at.  Of course with the previously mentioned customization options available it also makes it an attractive addition to my phone’s home screen and blends in well with my overall theme.

Themes
With multiple themes and color combinations, as well as the ability to set the Holo interface to one of four different modes; Dark, Light, Transparent and Minimal, EZ Weather allows you to choose the way you wish to view it. 
In my opinion, one of the best features (as well as most customizable features) of this app is the amazing widget they have developed for it.  Allowing you to change everything from the widget’s appearance to the icon set, app theme and even notification bar and truly make this app your own and allowing you to match whatever theme you have on your phone.Available in three sizes; 1x1, 4x1 and 4x2, you are able to choose a clock and weather or just the forecast.  With many free choices in each category they also have some pretty cool pay options available on the cheap.  For those of you who like to add a little fun to your otherwise drab phone screen, the EZ Weather app even has animated skins for purchase!



Data Usage
Many of you, like me, have limited data to last you for the month and the EZ Weather HD app took that into consideration when developing this wonderful app! Allowing you to set the refresh rate (mine is every 15 minutes) and gathering only little bits and pieces of information at a time, this app doesn’t use up all of your available data.  With a week of use, refreshing every 15 minutes, this app has only used around 3MB of my data package.  If that is still too much data usage for you, you have the option of changing to Wi-Fi only or various increments of time ranging, including;
v  15 minutes
v  30 minutes
v  1 hour
v  3 hours
v  6 hours
v  12 hours
v  1 day, and even
v  NEVER
In the end…
While there are other weather apps on the market which may have more options or a few less quirks, the majority of them are premium apps, meaning you must pay for them.  The EZ Weather HD app remains competitive with the best of them though and as of now, it’s free.  That is a pretty major bonus, especially considering the lack of advertising banners.  With the sheer number of features and customizable options already available, the EZ Weather HD app is making its mark and with more features promised in the near future, this user feels that this will become the app to beat in the smartphone and tablet world.  In a day when everyone is always on the go, the EZ Weather HD app not only keeps me up to date with the current weather it also allows me to do it quickly and easily.  That’s a win/win no matter how you look at it!

The Different Types of Synthetic Hair Extension



The usage of hair extension has become very popular in the present day world. Now people, especially women have found a solution of their gradually thinning hair in these extensions.
Premium hair is the most commonly available and also the most popular form of hair. This is the most inexpensive type of hair and thus, they are widely popular and have a huge demand in the beauty salons all across the world. The premium hair is of two main types. The regular premium hair is the least expensive but they also tend to get tangled very easily. On the other hand the tangle free premium hair is a more effective hair that has its cuticles removed through an acid bath. A laminate is generally applied to the hair so that the hair gives off the look of a naturally silky and shiny hair.
The hair extension is mainly of two types:
·         Synthetic hair
·         Human hair
From the very definition, synthetic hair extension is made of synthetic material. The problem with this kind of hair is that they are not meant for a long term use since they are prone to getting damaged due to the continuous friction and heat. A lot depends on the quality of the synthetic hair. Depending on the quality, the hair can look perfectly authentic or it might not even look close to natural. However, the normal hair care strategies like heat will never let the hair long. But new and more improved synthetic hair has been introduced in the present age which gives a better service to the users.
Human hair is one of the most expensive kinds of hair extension available. It is a more complex kind of hair made with dead, hard protein called keratin. It has three layers namely the medulla, the cortex and the cuticle. This kind of hair is more expensive and they tend to give a better and more authentic look to the hair. This hair is also called virgin cuticle hair or eve just cuticle hair. Most of this human hair is also used to make wigs or weaves.
