UC Browser updated to be faster and lighter, BringCast gains transparent Live tiles

UC Browser and BringCast are both rocking updates today in the Windows Phone Store. The two apps are popular in their respective categories. UC Browser is a very popular alternative to Internet Explorer, while BringCast is popular podcast application for those not content with the native podcast support in Windows Phone 8 or Windows Phone 8.1. Let’s check what’s new in both of these apps!

BringCast

You’ll find version 3.8.4 of BringCast sitting in the Windows Phone Store. Today’s update is notable for bringing a transparent Live tile for those on Windows Phone 8.1. You’ll also find bug fixes for the app in this update. There’s also an update to the podcast database in BringCast. Head to the settings of the app and go to database. From there you can ‘update database’ to make sure you have the most recent version of it. The devs of BringCast are working hard on version 4.0 of the app that we’ll cover when it’s out. In the meantime, update BringCast for some transparent Live tiles!

  • I stopped using UC Browser when I tried logging into Facebook through it immediately after install and Facebook locked my account because it detected an unusual login attempt from India through UC Browser. I immediately uninstalled. Why does UC Browser route my login through India?

  • +1
  • One of the things that makes UCBrowser faster is that they "pre-compress" the html before sending it on to your phone browser, whe then uncompresses the html before interpreting it.  So all data has to be routed through a server in order to compress it before it is sent over the internet.
