Eagle’s View is a very powerful bible study guide that will not only provide you with commentaries on the scriptures but educational interactions as well. The application could be connected online so that users could access Google Earth for a more detailed interpretation of the scriptures. With the help of Google Earth, users will have an idea of the geographical situation when the scriptures were written. Aside from Google Earth, Flickr.com could also be used as resource for photos.
The study guide that comes with the application will help the user understand every word. Commentaries and data are available for each book as well as verse. Important words in the verses would have significant interpretation of the application. Searching for the right verse is also easier as the application’s search engines will automatically search the word or the phrase in the Old and New Testament. The number of occurrence of the word in the bible is also displayed with corresponding maps to show which book has the most occurrence.
The unique feature of Eagle Eye is its spreadsheet. Almost every word used in the bible has a corresponding Greek meaning and description to help you further understand every word. Even the mood of the author or speaker is added in the spreadsheet. A Chinese version is also available with the same interface.
Because it also uses the internet for additional data to the user, the application is smaller than expected (less than 20mb). The bible used in the application is the New American Standard (NAS) version.

Advanced features of the application can enable account owners to remotely control the application. Access to webcam is even possible so that you can take real time pictures of your computer.
Using Weezo is surprisingly easy.

After you have set up the account and your computer, you can target which folders that could be accessed by specific users. Some of them could only see the photos while others could watch videos.

But aside from streaming photos, videos and music, users can also chat when they are logged on at the same time in the account. A blog could even be integrated in the application. Last but not the least, your computer with the Weezo account could become a server for small, HTML based websites so you don’t have to sign up to any web hosting service to set up a small website.

Most of the media libraries that’s available for download are usually only for photos. Although they can catalog other media types, their role is practically limited to storing the data in the right place. If you have a lot of pictures as well as music and videos, you will end up with a simplified library without good functionalities to ease you access to these media files.
Fresh View, on the other hand, tries to be unique from other media libraries by focusing on other media types. Aside from effectively classifying your pictures, videos and music; users can play music, watch videos and photos through a slideshow. More than 80 file formats are supported by this application. Fresh View is not just your average media library – it’s also your multimedia player.
Unfortunately, this form of multimedia player has limitations. Because it focuses on audio and video files, it has left out some features found in most media library applications. One of those functions not there is the batch renaming of photos.
But a single function will not diminish the beauty of the application. Aside from a powerful media player, it can convert files as long as they are supported by the application. Users can even create an HTML file wherein it automatically catalogs your media for easier access.
Even with all the features found in the application, Fresh View remains a small application. The file size of the application is less than 2mb which means downloading is a breeze and installation is fast. Fresh View is your media library if you have lots of audio and video files in your computer.
