Double Review: Update Detector & Wise Data Recovery

While I was working on the review for Google Drive a friend of mine came up to me and told me about a site known as Filepuma. Interested I decided to go onto the site and see what they had to offer. Because I am one of those people who does enjoy free applications. After browsing the website for a little bit I came across two particular applications that caught my attention right off of the bat.

Chrome Apps: Pixlr Editor 

Have you ever wanted to edit your photos or draw a picture with your digital tablet but couldn’t afford Photoshop or paint sai tool? Now you can with the Google chrome app “Pixlr Editor.”  This application isn’t the best of its kind, but works for the basic use much like MS-paint. Granted this application is much more powerful than MS-paint, but let’s go down the line of things it could have done better, and why the application may be good for you.

The interface will remind you of Photoshop right off the bat if you have used it before. It offers a navigator that allows you to see what your image looks like at a micro view (which some digital artists use the most to get a faraway distance view...
