<p>About: BarbWire73 has created an Ice Maze and I waltz right through it, but not without my own troubles.<br />
Also, first time trying out a new End Slate for the end of the video. That design may change.<br />
Not only that, A image in the upper left of my videos will be placed letting you know what kind of rating I am giving my videos for language or anything of that sort. Kinda like TV. <img src='http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>I am just going to come out right and say it without all the other BS&#8230;EyeEm sucks. It looks and feels too much like a Windows Mobile phone with weird ass tags and such that make no damn sense. Snapseed, while a great program to edit existing images, does not have the ability to share within the program and relies on the external Facebook/Twitter/Google+ to make the post. To me, that is just silly.</p>
<p>To put it bluntly, Streamzoo wins my vote for the perfect Instagram Alternative and I will be using that from here on out. Now, onto taking pics and such&#8230;:)</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>from the pretty-damn-good dept.</em></p>
<p>Just to let you all know, my “Disclaimer” is as follows: I will give as best as a description on most if not all of the features of Streamzoo for Android and my opinion. This is my opinion and mine alone and have not been influenced by any party as such nor have I been compensated (as if big companies read my shit) for my own review for my own purposes and if anybody uses this review as the de facto standard, they are idiots and I have no control over their life choices.</p>
<p>So, without further adieu, my review of Flickr. Let me just say this, before you take the leap, this was not a bad program and I may use it, but, I have two more programs to test&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-572"></span><br />
I am going on this quest to see what program I can find to replace Instagram. In a previous post, I listed four different programs and a few days ago, I chose Streamzoo. Below, I will show screenshots of the interface and will describe to you the best I can on my opinion of it as well as functionality or lack thereof. Afterwards, a complete mini-review will explain why I like or dislike this software. (LInked words in review link directly to the screenshots taken.)</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">INTERFACE:</span></p>
<p>I was hoping to God that after the Flickr debacle that this program would stand up and be better than what Flickr was. However, I may have figured out what went on that I couldn&#8217;t get Flickr to link to my Twitter account and I will explain shortly.</p>
<p>Looking into the interface, it was very streamlined and easy to maneuver. After installing the software and launching it, I was brought to the <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-streamzoo/streamzoo-start-screen/"><strong>start screen</strong></a> which showed other peoples pictures, well, the more popular people that use Streamzoo from what I gather. I scrolled through and it was easy enough. Images loaded quickly on my Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket with LTE with no problem (and yes, even on HSPDA or 3G, images still loaded quite quickly). Looking around to get started, I found the <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-streamzoo/streamzoo-login/"><strong>Sign Up</strong></a> button and proceeded to create an account. The sign up was painless and error free. It was time for me to go looking around to see how this puppy worked.</p>
<p>First thing I checked back out was the start screen where it showed the popular people&#8217;s photos and alas, I am not one of those popular people. I needed to see more and what I found out was that this program, also like Instagram, supported HashTags or keywords that begin with a &#8220;#&#8221;. These <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-streamzoo/streamzoo-trending/"><strong>Trending</strong></a> HashTags is a way to show people that &#8220;Hey, look at what I did with some obscure word that other people are using so you can find out what my pictures look like and maybe follow me for more pics,&#8221; kind of thing. The Trending area allows you to do just that for a more social approach and possibly getting to see the world through the other person&#8217;s filtered eyes. The HashTag I used was <a href="http://streamzoo.com/stream/fuckfilters"><strong>#FuckFilters</strong></a>. (Sorry Streamzoo&#8230;you have a good program but I will only use filters when I see fit and most of the time, I don&#8217;t. Sorry for using the word &#8220;Fuck&#8221; but it was needed. However, I used one filter I think, for my first post to see what it looked like. It was neat!)</p>
<p>From what I gather, Streamzoo is a very social part of the filtered photo community. Along with creating a photo or even one with filters, you can get <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-streamzoo/streamzoo-badges/"><strong>Badges</strong></a> for your constant use of Streamzoo. Badges represent your extensive use of Streamzoo. So, for people unlike myself, that are very social when it comes to mobile applications, this will be perfect for you. Each Badge represents some kind of an achievement from withing Streamzoo. For instance, I right now, only have one. That one is the Newbie Badge which states that I was to upload a photo or a video. I don&#8217;t have anything else. There are badges that seem to be easy to get like Socializer which you need to get 10 Followers and you follow 10 people. Then it gets nuts from there. One Badge called &#8220;Hey Lover&#8221; states to &#8220;Upload 8 photos or videos to #love and get 143 cumulative likes,&#8221; while another called &#8220;iPhoneographer&#8221; that states to &#8220;Upload 25 photos or videos with an iPhone and get 10 likes on each.&#8221; I will never be able to do that as I have an Android. Luckily for me, there is one for Android too.</p>
<p>After Badges comes a points tally system called a <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-streamzoo/streamzoo-leaderboard/"><strong>Leaderboard</strong></a>. This Leaderboard shows people that are way too social for my own self. This is all the points that you get for each Like on a photo you receive or each Photo you upload. This is merely a way to get to use the system as an incentive to be listed among the most social butterfly out there. As far as I know, there is no real reason to be up that high on the Leaderboard unless you have an ego so high that you need it to survive. You don&#8217;t get anything, you get no winnings, you get no money, nothing. It is just a way to say, &#8220;Hey, I am awesome that I use all my phone&#8217;s battery power to take pictures and hope people will like them.&#8221; However, it is neat to see what is going on and to follow people that take some amazing pictures, especially if you are a person that loves digital pictures.</p>
<p>It was finally decided that after a mini-tour of the Interface, which, by the way, was laid out very well, that it was my turn to jump into the fray and take my own.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">TAKING PICTURES:</span></p>
<p>I took a step and clicked on the Camera Icon at the bottom of my phone on Streamzoo. When I did, I was greeted with some options: Add Photo, Add Video, Use Photo from Library, Use Video from Library, Collage (Options capitalized with the way it should be, otherwise, to maintain normalcy, the first letter of each option was capitalized.) I tapped on Add Photo and that led me to using my Android built-in camera and that part, I liked. People, take note from Streamzoo, let your users have control over their camera on the photos they take as your stupid in-app camera sucks donkey balls, i.e. Flickr. I took my picture and accepted that I liked that picture and was moved on to the <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-streamzoo/streamzoo-picture-1/"><strong>Rotation/Cropping</strong> </a>of my photo. Wow! That is something you don&#8217;t see everyday, a program that will let you crop out your photo to some pre-determined sizes so you aren&#8217;t confined to what the program defines it as, i.e. Flickr, Instagram. Hell, if your photo didn&#8217;t come out right, you can rotate it and flip it. That was neat and I can see that becoming a useful option. Since I am awesome at taking mediocre pictures, I hit Next in the upper right hand corner and was brought to my next screen.</p>
<p>OMG! FILTERS! <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-streamzoo/streamzoo-picture-2/"><strong>Filters</strong></a> galore. It may not be as much as what Instagram has but it was the normal ones that you would see and maybe some others you haven&#8217;t. Each program has their own version of each others filters and that is fine by me. However, where this program stands out from Instagram is the fact that you can choose your <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-streamzoo/streamzoo-picture-3/"><strong>Border</strong></a> separately from the Filter. This gives you many more choices that what Instagram gives you and that gives this program a leg up on the competition.</p>
<p>The next two items really make this program shine with the addition of a faux <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-streamzoo/streamzoo-picture-4/"><strong>Tilt-Shift</strong></a> aspect. This Tilt-Shift effect gives the illusion that you have a more expensive camera with an actual Tilt-Shift lens on it. That way, you can really focus on what you want your Followers to see and eventually Like on your photo. It accentuates that photo pretty darn well. If that wasn&#8217;t enough the next option is to mess around with the <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-streamzoo/streamzoo-picture-5/"><strong>Colors</strong></a> of that photo. Colors allow you to distort and enhance the already existing photo by changing things like Hue and Saturation, something that you would find in a nice photo-editing program, well, at least better than Microsoft Paint. These two features really make this program stand out above others, like Flickr and maybe others but I gotta review them first.</p>
<p>After choosing all of the options I wanted, it was time for me to put this on my social media sites&#8230;</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t get pics of the actual screen but it gives you the option to add a Title for your picture and then a Description and in that Description, you can add your HashTags if you so choose. Below that it allowed me to chose what Social Media Sites that I wanted to post to. The sites are Facebook, Twitter, Flickr (ugh) and Tumblr. Before I could post to those, I had to configure the options to allow that to happen. Facebook, easy. Twitter, difficult&#8230;until I turned off my AdBlock on my phone. Apparently, having AdBlock on/enabled, prevented me from linking Streamzoo to Twitter. Took me a bit to figure that out. I can almost bet that if I turned that off for Flickr, it would link up properly. However, I still would not have chose Flickr. After I setup those services, I could then choose them to post to.</p>
<p>Here is where a twist occurs, after posting, you are brought to your Start Screen and the program states that it is uploading in the background. Before you do anything, DO NOT EXIT STREAMZOO OR ELSE YOUR PICTURE WILL NOT UPLOAD. I did this a couple of times to verify and it did not work. Just make sure that after you take a picture, keep your phone on and on Streamzoo to ensure no problems exist. I do hope that Streamzoo fixes this. But the real twist is that when you upload your picture, you can take a look at it and if you hit the Menu, you get <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-streamzoo/streamzoo-share-to-g-1/"><strong>Options</strong></a>. One of these options is to POST TO SOME FUCKING GOOGLE PLUS!!! Fuck yeah! Good job Streamzoo! About damn time that somebody makes it to where I can post to Google Plus. However, the other issue is that you need to have Google Plus installed on your phone as it will sudo open up a posting page with your Title, Description, Picture Link and then show the picture in that posting page for Google Plus. Just hit Post and your post is made. It is just a small extra step but I didn&#8217;t mind the step as it did feel a little natural but I think it would be better if it was integrated from within Streamzoo. Kudos, Streamzoo, for a way for me to post to <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-streamzoo/streamzoo-share-to-g-2/"><strong>Google Plus</strong></a> without having to type everything back out again manually!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">AFTER POSTING:</span></p>
<p>Since this was the first real one that worked, I decided to take some screenshots of how the post would show up from within various programs on my PC. <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-streamzoo/tweetdeck-timeline-1/"><strong>TweetDeck</strong></a> for Chrome was first and unfortunately, Streamzoo does not have Twitter Cards like Instagram had or what LockerZ has. However, I do get to see a post with the Title, Description, and then a link to the image. If I view it IN TweetDeck, then the image is <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-streamzoo/tweetdeck-timeline-2/"><strong>expanded</strong></a> out to see everything.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-streamzoo/facebook-timeline/"><strong>Facebook</strong></a> works just fine and shows just fine as well as <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-streamzoo/google-plus/"><strong>Google Plus</strong></a>. Obviously, I edited my name and pic out of Facebook, just get over it will ya? Also, looking at <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-streamzoo/twitter-timeline-1/"><strong>Twitter</strong></a>, it does the same thing as TweetDeck.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">OVERALL:</span></p>
<p>This program was thought out really well. Even tho I have picked at it for its social features and such, this program was created pretty well. The fact that the second program I have tested actually makes use of Google Plus is definitely a plus in my book. The Leaderboard and Badges, I can see me getting into but only if I was really social and wanted to do that. I only really take pictures that I think are worth it and I don&#8217;t even do that often. Just finding a program in which I can post to Twitter or FB and in this case G+ is very awesome indeed. I have a feeling that this program is a very strong contender as a replacement for Instagram. If people are actually reading this with this four part series of reviews for Instashit Alternatives, I would recommend this program&#8230;if I didn&#8217;t have other programs to review. <img src='http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>from the fail-boat dept.</em></p>
<p>Just to let you all know, my &#8220;Disclaimer&#8221; is as follows: I will give as best as a description on most if not all of the features of Flickr for Android and my opinion. This is my opinion and mine alone and have not been influenced by any party as such nor have I been compensated (as if big companies read my shit) for my own review for my own purposes and if anybody uses this review as the de facto standard, they are idiots and I have no control over their life choices.</p>
<p>So, without further adieu, my review of Flickr. Let me just say this, before you take the leap, it ain&#8217;t pretty&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-536"></span><br />
I am going on this quest to see what program I can find to replace Instagram. In a previous post, I listed four different programs and yesterday, I chose Flickr. Below, I will show screenshots of the interface and will describe to you the best I can on my opinion of it as well as functionality or lack thereof. Afterwards, a complete mini-review will explain why I like or dislike this software. (LInked words in review link directly to the screenshots taken.)</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">INTERFACE:</span></p>
<p>The interface in this app was easy to use. Typical layout with colors from Flickr that you would see on their website. After you login from an existing account or by creating one, you are greeted (as far as I know) to this screen <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-flickr/flickr-interface-1/"><strong>here</strong></a>. This shows you if somebody has commented on your photo or has made it one of their favorites. That way you can see how popular or not you are with your friends and other strangers. Looking at the second icon on the bottom is your <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-flickr/flickr-interface-2/"><strong>Photostream</strong></a>, a listing of all your pictures that you have taken. Those pics will be listed here in this screen. You are able to tap/click those images and you will get another screen showing you what the image is as well as additional info, this will be covered later. The third icon explains itself. The fourth icon represents your Friends and the <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-flickr/flickr-interface-3/"><strong>pictures</strong></a> they have uploaded. Here, you should be able to go to their listing or their image and see it right on your device and even comment or favorite it from within Flickr. The final icon gives you the option to <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-flickr/flickr-interface-4/"><strong>Explore</strong></a> other random users or even nearby users. Note: Nearby does not activate unless you have your GPS turned on. This is the place where, if bored, can click on random images of people so you can stalk them when you need or have that unwavering desire to do so.</p>
<p>That is really about if for the Interface. I don&#8217;t have much to say about that. However, I do have some things to say regarding when you hit that Camera icon to take a picture and that is what we will look at next.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">TAKING PICTURES:</span></p>
<p>Taking pictures was an easy thing to do. After pressing that icon, Flickr gave me the option to either choose its own camera or use the built-in. If you use the built-in, you obviously have more control on what you take and at least using Android 4.1.2, I can take the picture and either accept it as it is or cancel it and try again. <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-flickr/flickr-camera-preview/"><strong>Flickr&#8217;s own camera</strong></a>, you cannot manually focus and just have one button to take the pic. The flash is automatically enabled with no way of turning it off and after the button is pressed, the app will focus, shine the flash and then take the picture. All of that seems to be completely backwards to me but hey, it is Flickr.</p>
<p>Once the picture is taken, you arrive at the <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-flickr/flickr-filter-choices/"><strong>Filters</strong></a> screen. This screen has many different filters but nowhere near the amount that Instagram has. The one thing I noticed that when choosing a filter, the app will think about it for a second and then process the image to show you your filter. This is shown by little pink and blue rotating orbs in the middle of your image until it has processed. This happens every time you choose a filter&#8230;on every filter, unless you go back to one you chose and then it is instant, no hesitating. After you have waited a little bit from choosing a filter, it is time to add some info to your picture.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-flickr/flickr-picture-details-1/"><strong>Adding details</strong></a> to your image is crucial because people might not know what it is. This screen allows you to put in a Title and a Description, a way to keep your location private, who can see the photo, add <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-flickr/flickr-picture-details-2/"><strong>tags</strong></a> and to make note of the safety level in case your image is not family or potentially not family friendly. Hit Next and this is where the biggest gripe of this program comes into play.</p>
<p>Ah yes, the most important part of what I am looking for&#8230;<a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-flickr/flickr-social-networks/"><strong>social network interoperability</strong></a>. This is the main part of any of these programs I am reviewing for whatever the hell. The ability to at least post to Facebook and Twitter as those are my primary networks (if I find one that can post to Google+, then fuck yeah!). I chose Facebook and that logged me in almost instantly because I was already logged in with my Facebook app. Next step was Twitter and this is where I start to gripe. Clicking on Twitter, it comes up to a Twitter Authorize webpage. This is typical for most programs so that way you are telling Twitter that you want this app to post on your behalf and all of that jazz, you know the drill. So, I enter in all my credentials and I am greeted with <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-flickr/flickr-twitter-error/"><strong>success screen</strong></a>&#8230;and that is about it. Hurray! Yay! I did it, what&#8217;s next? I close the window and it brings me back to my social networks&#8230;with Twitter NOT checked. I figured that I must have done something wrong, so I did it again&#8230;and again&#8230;and again&#8230;for the better part of 30 minutes. For those 30 minutes, I logged into Twitter on my laptop to see if the authorized app made it to the list and alas, it did not. The only time it did was when I manually went to flickr.com/services/twitter to sign up for Flickr2Twitter which allows me to tweet from any e-mail device THROUGH MY FUCKING E-MAIL CLIENT!?! What the fuck is up with this horse shit? You give me the option to do it directly from the Flickr app and then come right back at me to tell me that I can&#8217;t and have to do it from my mobile e-mail client? Fuck&#8230;that! I even searched on ways to get this working and it appears that nobody else was having this problem and I did not want to wait around to submit a question to them, I was impatient and mad. So I did what all good geeks do in a time of crisis&#8230;rage quit. Rage quit like a boss. (Yeah, yeah, yeah, I should have taken the time in hindsight but if the app does not make it easy for me to do this right from the get go, fuck it, time to move on.) Oh, I could have used the e-mail to send my pic through the e-mail and then it would be tweeted but why do that when I have to remember that damn Flickr2Twitter e-mail all the time? Fuck it, I was done.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">PHOTO:</span></p>
<p>This section details what happens when you tap/click on an image in your Photostream. After you do such things as these, you are brought right to <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-flickr/flickr-photo-1/"><strong>your photo</strong></a>. Here you can see the image of your picture you just took. (Yes, I know the image is different than what I took with a completely different Title and Comment.)  Here you can see how many people has clicked/seen your photo, any comments and how many favorites. The <strong><a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-flickr/flickr-photo-2/">Comments</a> </strong>and <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-flickr/flickr-photo-3/"><strong>Also In</strong></a> explain themselves. The <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-flickr/flickr-photo-4/"><strong>Details</strong></a> screen is pretty neat as it shows you what device took the picture along with pretty much any <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-flickr/flickr-photo-5/">EXIF</a> data you could imagine. Also, looking at the photo, it would not let me delete the photo from within the Flickr app. Every good program that is similar to Instagram should have the ability to delete any photo that you have uploaded and such from the app. I had to go online to Flickr to delete the photo, refresh my Photostream in the app, and then the recently taken photo disappeared.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">OVERALL:</span></p>
<p>This program is pretty good with the exception of the major gripes I have regarding it. If I had possibly taken the extra time to see how I could fix the program (Yes, I rebooted/uninstalled/re-installed/cleared data/force stopped process/etc, etc), then this program may do it some justice for peeps in the Android world. I hear that the iOS version is good but I don&#8217;t have an iOS and I say fuck iOS but that is purely my opinion and mine alone as iOS is not for me and that is why I say &#8220;Fuck iOS.&#8221; People have been saying that Flickr may replace Instagram because of this new release for iOS but if that new release was also released for Andorid and that is what I experienced, then Flickr has a long ways to go. For me, my own rating and for myself alone, I would rate this a about a 6/10 because of the failure to link to Twitter and the other gripes I have for this device.</p>
<p>So, one down, three to go!</p>
<p>This concludes my review of Flickr and why I will <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>NOT</strong></span> be using it.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>from the it&#8217;s-gotta-be-done dept.</em></p>
<p>Over the course of the next few days, I will be reviewing four (4) programs for Android ONLY that I believe are similar to Instagram. If you take a leap, then you will see what I have in store.<br />
<span id="more-530"></span><br />
Ever since this debacle (read: yesterday), I have determined that I need to move away from Instagram and use something else. So, to help me with that, I will be posting here on my Blog on four different applications for Android that I believe are very similar to Instagram. I hope to include the following info:</p>
<ol>
<li>My Phone Specs</li>
<li>Screenshots of program in use</li>
<li>Screenshots of settings</li>
<li>Possible Ease of Use on posting to Social Networks from WITHIN the App and not relying on external programs on the phone</li>
<li>Determining how they show up on said Social Networks</li>
<li>Attempt to give a Review of program</li>
<li>Possibly reviewing the Companies in question on their Terms of Service/Use and Privacy Policy</li>
</ol>
<p>The programs I will be testing are Flickr, Streamzoo, EyeEm, and Snapseed. I am hoping one of these will do well for me as this is a test for me and me alone and you, as a reader, can read these and determine if these programs will be right for you. Do not take my advice on which one to get or to even use. I will attempt to give an unbiased opinion and give my unaltered, my unedited, my un(insert other word here) thoughts on these programs in a manner that I deem fit. Granted, I am a small blog in which nobody really reads anyway but at least I can do what I can for the Internet as a whole and if people do link back to me, cool..if not, then cool as well. Take the info I give to however you see fit.</p>
<p>Starting tomorrow, I will be using Flickr and will use that for a few days and then move on to the others. I will post links and reviews here on my blog and link back to this particular post with said reviews (redundant I know).</p>
<p>Stay tuned for reviews and other shit!</p>
<p>Programs that I will review and their Google Play links:</p>
<ol>
<li>Flickr &#8211; <a href="http://www.flickr.com/">Website</a> &#8211; <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.flickr&amp;feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS55YWhvby5tb2JpbGUuY2xpZW50LmFuZHJvaWQuZmxpY2tyIl0.">Google Play</a> - <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-flickr/">REVIEW!</a></li>
<li>Streamzoo &#8211; <a href="http://www.streamzoo.com">Website</a> &#8211; <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phonezoo.android.streamzoo">Google Play</a> - <a href="http://www.disturbed-penguin.net/2012/12/instashit-alternative-review-streamzoo/">REVIEW!</a></li>
