Fab Hotel Android App (Fab Review)

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on October 29, 2018 7

FabHotel Android App is exactly what I was looking for. It’s fab!I love anything which makes my life easier.This hotel booking app is something I needed.

With frequent traveling for both business and personal reasons, I am forever looking for safe and comfortable hotels, with a good cancellation policy. Fab hotel app wins on all three counts. They have an affordable list of quality budget hotels with basic amenities and no hidden charges.

Looking for the best hotel can be a hair-tearing worry while planning your trip. If you love traveling and want no headache options, it’s even more difficult when you have many websites competing for the same

This app has come to fill the need for the budget traveler. Who doesn’t like a good deal?

How to find this App?

Go to Google Play
Download this Fab hotel booking app.
Insert your choice of city, travel dates and a number of days of stay. The app does the rest.
You get a list of budget Fab hotels to choose from.
Check out the Hotel amenities, cancellation policy, sightseeing options and locational advantage all from inside the app.

Fab Hotel Android App Review: Pros

The app loads quickly and has hardly any lag. The filter options are useful and easy to apply. The app also prominently displays the compulsory facilities which you can expect in a Fab hotel and any special features according to the hotel you are considering.
The menu has a list of all the important links that you may be searching for, including a very clear Cancellation policy. Kindly also check the individual hotel’s policy before booking. For most Fab hotels. If a booking is canceled more than 24 hours before check-in date, they have free cancellation
If you sign up for the A-list membership, you get some cool offers.
Even if you don’t sign up for the premier membership this app gives you several great offers.
Clutter-free, advertisement free interface.
Easy to navigate.
You can search for hotels according to cities you are traveling to. You get to see the hotel features, offers, price, and ratings.
Hotels in 40 plus cities and 450+Budget hotels.Some of the best offers online for Hotel booking.

Easily displayed menu with all important features in The Fab Hotel Android App

What I especially loved:

1)City wise discounts

2)Loyalty discounts

3)Special cashback on using PayTM

4)Excellent cancellation policy.

All these features are displayed and found easily in the main menu of the app and you don’ t have to search for them.

5)They also have a refer and earn policy.

Something Special:

With every booking, you get loyalty rewards.
The app also mentions about no hassle refunds during cancellation.

This feature I haven’t personally checked as yet. But with all competition offering good refunds policy, no hospitality app can stand a chance without a good cancellation policy.

Recommended for :

Budget travelers
Frequent travelers
Family travelers looking for a good deal.
Business travelers

Cons of the app

It’s not very pretty. Not a con really. But I like pretty.
Couldn’t find nor read any negative reviews. Now it could be that the hotels I looked at were great and had no negative reviews but still, I want to see whether reviews are balanced.
I couldn’t see property pictures except for the featured pictures. Maybe I missed something but somehow was unable to find. Female travelers are always looking for property pictures and need to find them quickly.

Takeaway:

Overall a good app. For people on the go to quickly find a hotel without worrying about quality, refund, and facilities.

Disclaimer: This is a Sponsored review written after using the App. It is a personal opinion and this post is meant to share the experience with using the app. Kindly make all decision regarding booking after going through the facilities, terms, and conditions at your own discretion.

Google’s Blog Compass Vs WordPress App

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on September 22, 2018 28

Update: Google’s Blog compass was rolled back in July 2019 and is no longer active . WordPress app, however, is still going strong

Google’s Blog Compass was launched with an eye to Indian Bloggers.

Many of us at Indiblogger(another site which is now on its last legs), got a chance to beta test its usability and give our feedback. While testing new apps is a lot of fun, this was extra special. It was Google and an app for Blogging! Whatever I have learned as a blogger, it’s because of Google. The books to read, blogs to follow and people to learn from, were suggested by Google. It was a pleasure trying out the app, in various stages of its development.

I downloaded the final version and after using it for the last ten days, I am writing Google’s Blog Compass Review.

Unfortunately, Google has stopped updating this app and its no longer functional.

7 Reasons I loved Blog Compass App:

1)It currently has an Android-only version. Obviously! Google has the exact data about how many people use Android and iPhones.So optimize for Android users. Extra tips that make you feel special.

2)You need to be a WordPress or Blogger user. Covers more than 90 percent of blogs.

3)You need to install Jetpack. This helps WordPress get your stats in place. Jetpack and Blog compass, share data and you can check the most important data points. Blog compass gets data from Google Analytics and Search console to give you at your fingertips:

Page views
Traffic numbers
Traffic source
Demographic data

4) Blog compass has encouraging badges to unlock, as you publish a specific number of blog posts and have a higher number of Blog visitors. A nice feature for social sharing. Encouragement is always appreciated.

5) You can easily approve comments, just like on the WordPress app without signing into your blog backend.

6)You can find trending topics in the categories of your interest with search volumes! This is gold as it also gives you long-tail keyword target. All this without leaving the app!

7)You have an amazing database of education.Google tells you exactly what you should know about managing your blog.Don’t miss this treasure trove of knowledge.While Google blog articles were always available,this education hub is streamlined to make sense of the chaos.Plus you know this is the real thing.No beating about the bush.

Only one problem:You actually have to read it. Just having it on your phone, will not make you a pro-blogger.

Google's Blog Compass — Google’s Blog Compass:How it looks

Comparison with WordPress app

The WordPress reader option is a boon. Google Blog compass currently has no option to discover new blogs.You are alone inside the user interface.The community factor if included will be excellent. But this app I feel is targetted for charting blog growth with numbers.This is crucial for making blogs financially free. But how helpful it is ,only your work and time will tell.
The Blog compass does not let you write or publish posts using the app, which the WordPress app does. But honestly, I have faced problems with the bulky WP app too, which allows scheduling and then the post doesn’t get published.It’s a horror for busy bloggers who are traveling a lot.
No education hub for Bloggers in WP app. Google scores here.Can you imagine something better,than ths Google people teaching you?
The keyword and category options is very good as a starting point, especially for new bloggers. No such feature with WordPress app.Google’s Blog Compass scores again!
Both the WP app and Blog compass celebrates blogging milestones.

Serious pros for Serious Bloggers:

It’s a one-stop App for stats, especially when you are traveling, need to get your stats for brands, P R or just to check the backend stuff. It’s easy to approve comments on the go too.

The one thing you still need:

Ability to write and publish a blog post from the app itself, but with better features than WP. Maybe they will join hands and make blogging truly mobile!

Final Verdict:

A must download the app if you like blogging on the go. It’s handy, educational,easy to use,motivational and trying to teach bloggers the right things to focus on. When Google gives you a gift, it’s bound to be amazing.

Blogging changes each year, keeping up is important. Even now WordPress App survives,that’s good enough reason for it to be the winner.

Blogging resources which have helped

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on August 17, 2018 37

Blogging resources which have helped are many.My blogging journey is more fun because I found these resources on.I share my stories about them not because I am an affiliate, but because they helped.

If you spend your time on writing great content and your money on beautifying your blog shouldn’t you also spend some thought to making it reach your audience?The internet needs signals.it needs links to help your readers find you.Even if you didn’t have any plans to monetize, all bloggers want to be read!That’s where my blogging resources will help you.

(Affiliate Disclaimer: There are affiliate links in this post If you click through and make a purchase, I may receive a commission at no additional cost to you, but helps support this website.Read more here. )

Genius Bloggers Toolkit is something I have written many times before this.It’s an amazing resource by Ultimate bundles giving great value for money.It gives you some hard truths without slogging hours and getting dejected.In The Ultimate bundle’s affiliate program wonderful training ground if you are just getting started with affiliate marketing

What I have learned after using these blogging resources

One blogging can earn you money three ways.The quick and easy.This way can get your blog blacklisted by Google even quicker and loses credibility

The long journey with hard work and sweet fruits.This takes time, patience and persistence.Also the ability to ignore naysayers and pessimist until they are funding your journey.Even then, avoid people who pull you down.The world is full of that kind.If you are a writer you are already smart enough to know and identify these energy vampires quickly.Avoid them at all costs.Not only will they not do much, they will also give you enough worries to almost give you a writer’s block if you are not careful.

The middle ground.This is where the Genius Bloggers toolkit by Ultimate bundles helped me.It cut short the nonsense without overwhelm.It also gave me hope enough to chart my course.

Everything will depend on you what way, you want to go.

Best Blogging Resources to Help you Grow

My two favorite resources in the Genius bloggers toolkit are the Building a Framework by Abby Lawson of just a girl and her blog.Abby has been blogging since 2013 and is one of the most sincere and helpful bloggers around.

My number one reason for recommending Abby’s book?

You will be inspired if you are a mommy blogger, she will inspire you to stick it out, to keep on learning.As someone very wisely said,

[bctt tweet=”You are one step ahead of the person behind you.Lending a helping hand is always great karma.” username=”misra_amrita”]

Building a Framework :Image credit Abby — Building a Framework: Image credit Abby Lawson

“We only have what we give.”
― Isabel Allende

You will be inspired, if you are jaded.She gives actionable tips to do it better .Tips on content, blog monetization, social media, blog hops, everything.The best part is, when she updates the book you get to learn all the new stuff she learned too.

While there’s a lot of talk about blogging and making money through it.It’s not easy.What’s worked for Abby may or may not work for you.But she is not selling you a pipe dream.It’s possible to make money online honestly doing what you love.

My second favorite resource is the Knowtbook.It’s an amazing tool.Practically a live online journal that Amylynn Andrews keeps.She curates the best there is online and gives you a glimpse of how things work online .if you have the diligence this resource is a game changer.

My next favorite blogging resource is Pat Flynn’s book Will it Fly.

Will It Fly?: How to Test Your Next Business Idea So You Don’t Waste Your Time and Money

The best part of this book is it will give you clarity about the content niche, the topic of books, courses products which you can create It’s not a step by step guide but a treasure map.Whether you will find the way will depend on how well you read the map.

Eternal Question :Blogging or Vlogging?

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on August 11, 2018 15

The Eternal Question: Blogging or Vlogging? What will survive the test of time? Life death and everything in between is a myth. This life you see, has a past, present, future all running in parallel worlds. Truth and false all seems to be relative and so are Doomsday theories.

At least for me. With the digital world, the whole world is yours. But you must accept and adapt. Change some and still do the old things which work. Why have set rules and notions which don’t work? Instead, do more of what works for you and less of those that don’t! Print, video, blog everything in this world, will survive the test of time, if it’s useful. See, I didn’t use the word Quality. Because that can be paralyzing.A fear of not being good enough.

But useful, you can always be. Some people like reading some watching moving videos and some like listening, to cut down on digital screen time. You focus on what you want.Y ou focus on what you need to do. You focus on your plan, to make this world a little better. That’s when you will realize video, blogs, and print media only that which is useful and relatable survive!

[bctt tweet=”Useful and relatable are sustainable! #Writingwillsurvive” #amwriting username=”misra_amrita”]

My preference:

I love reading paperbacks, but my Kindle is perfect for reading anywhere! I buy digital and paperback versions of same books, if I want it as a family treasure, The Go-Giver and the Faraway tree series are two such. I like to watch videos to understand tech stuff, courtroom dramas on Amazon Prime, gardening tips and home decor how to’s. I enjoy speed reading blog posts when I have no time to watch videos. I also remember better when I read.

So for me, Text blogging is going to stay.

But should there be more options? My question is why not? On my own blog, I always like to explore options to reach more people. Just like my blog helped me reach more people than just those whom I met physically, Videos could increase the reach even more. Telehealth, tele-education, text blogging video, podcasting whatever it takes, I am willing to try them all. If it comes to making a difference, the medium is important. But people are different, so one medium fits all, may not work.

Exciting topic whats your views on this?
