BiggiFi Android TV Stick Review

BiggiFi Android TV Stick Review and Giveaway
As of late, a lot of smart TVs come with a bunch of apps (like the Vizio E3201-A0 which we reviewed) that allow you to use services such as Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, and more. If you don’t have one of those TVs, you can also resort to other devices in order to provide the same (or better) functionality, such as with the Chromecast (read our review), Apple TV (our review), or any Roku device (we reviewed that too).
But none of these devices do is let you play games and they’re also restricted to apps designed specifically for the particular platform. The BiggiFi, which retails for around $60 on Amazon, tries to solve those two problems.
Keep reading this review to find out whether the BiggiFi is a good addition for your home. And at the end of this article, you’ll be able to enter our giveaway for a chance to win one!

About the BiggiFi

The BiggiFi advertises itself as a “family smart stick”, but in reality, it’s simply just a mini-computer crammed into a dongle form-factor that can run vanilla Android. Despite the perceived simplicity of this solution, it actually addresses the gripes we named above. Through a pure Android environment, you have access to any Android application, including games as well as apps that aren’t designed to run on the Roku or Chromecast.

Competitors
biggifi review 1 BiggiFi Android TV Stick Review and Giveaway
The Biggify is an exclusive device, no other TV stick provide the same functionality that it does. If you broaden your search to media box-type devices, you’ll find a few. For example, there’s the G-Box Midnight MX2 ($88 on Amazon) which offers the exact same advertised software features as the BiggiFi.
There are also a few generic devices out there such as the “MX” Smart TV Box running Android ($65 on Amazon). The same software features apply here as well. However, unlike the BiggiFi, these two competitors are bulkier but they also offer more ports for connectivity. If you know that you’ll be solely connecting the device to your TV through HDMI, it’d probably be best to go with the BiggiFi as it’s the cheapest and most portable option.

Packaging

The packaging for the BiggiFi is extremely similar to that of the Chromecast. You get a nice little box, where you slip off the cover, flip over the covering flap, and you’ll have your device under the piece of paper welcoming you to the BiggiFi. Underneath the BiggiFi is a USB-to-micro-USB cable as well as a power supply.

Design

The BiggiFi is quite a bit larger than a Chromecast (I’d say roughly 50 percent bigger) with official dimensions of 4.8 x 1.6 x 4.8 inches and weighing 8 ounces. I suppose this is pretty reasonable, as it has to pack in an entire computer (or mobile device at least) along with the three ports that it offers.

Build Your Own Awesome Personal 3D Avatar with Avatara

Do you use social networks and want to build your own awesome 3D avatar? Maybe you want to send someone a cute cuddly image of yourself (kind of)? Or maybe you have your own ideas of what you would do with an Avatar… Well look no further than Avatara which I discovered from the MakeUseOf directory . You can create 3d avatars out of pre-set up templates or create your own from scratch. To start, visit Avatara’s homepage . You will see this screen: Click Get Started to umm, get started! That will take you to this screen: You see that you can build your own Avatar using an uploaded head shot like the Obama one above (just an example, guys). Or roll with one of their awesome avatars. I chose to start with a blank avatar by clicking Start with a blank avatar at the bottom of the screen. That takes you to here: I clicked on the filter at the top and told it to filter out everything but male characters and then I saw this: I rolled with Buck and continued. You need to click Select...

MoviePass drops pricing to under $7 per month, if you opt for the annual plan

MoviePass, the subscription service that lets consumers pay a monthly fee to see unlimited movies in theaters across the U.S., is slashing its prices yet again. The company announced today it’s now offering its service for $6.95 per month, down from the current price of $9.95 per month, when customers commit to a one-year subscription plan. That works out to a flat fee of $89.95 annually. The deal is a limited-time promotion, as opposed to a permanent pricing change, but MoviePass didn’t say how long the offer is valid. However, it is open to both new and existing subscribers – the latter who would receive a 25 percent savings on their current subscription if switching over to the annual plan. This is not the first time that MoviePass has dropped its pricing. When the company introduced its $9.95 per month, one-movie-per-day plan this August, down from $15 for 2 movies per month (or more in select markets like L.A. and NYC, and going as high as $50), it saw so many new sign-up...
