Hear It First
This app keeps you updated on all your favourite topics. You can also choose to receive updates on the news or even lessons that you’re interested in. You get a message whenever there has been an update.
TV Me
TV Me lets you stream your favourite TV programmes and see your face on the screen together with the actors.
A: I imagine that TV Me would be more popular. Everyone watches TV and I think lots of people imagine themselves as actors in the TV shows, so putting the two together would be great. What do you think
