Instant Site Notifications

Once you have AppDok, you can receive instant notifications about everything you care about.

For example, you are on Google.com and a friend posted something on your Facebook wall, you get an instant notification right there on Google.com. You can choose to click on the notification ~~and~~ goto the wall post or you can completely ignore it.

The same notifications are also available for your favourite blogs. For example, you like to follow the news from Engadget Mobile website – but going back to Engadget website every 5 minutes to check for latest news is not possible.

However, if you have AppDok – just add the Engadget App and get instant notifications about latest news as it gets posted on Engadget Mobile website.

There are more than 300 apps in various categories, which you can add to your AppDok from the AppStore. To add a new app, follow these steps.

Step 1. Open your AppDok and click on the "Add More Apps" icon (small green + button).

Step 2. Select "Add more Apps" from the next dialog.

Step 3. Search for any app for eg: "Engadget"

Step 4. Click "Add App" to add Engadget's live notifications.

Step 5. You will instantly start receiving updates from Engadget Mobile.

I used it for some time and liked it a lot. It handles notifications from facebook, gmail etc very well. The youtube downloader is also working fine. Its recommended that you give a try, and also check out their app store for some interesting apps.
