There's an App for that!

So I've been dying to do a post like this for a long time, especially since I know several of my bloggy friends just acquired the awesome, the lovely, the spectacular Android Phone. I'm almost at one year of Android, and don't know how I'd function without my handheld brain. literally. I did it for...two weeks, and it was torture!! 


So today I'd thought I'd review some of the apps I use! Most of these apps can be found in your Android Marketplace. Also some may be compatible with iPhones or Blackberries. See Carrier for more information. Disclaimer: These are not paid endorsements, and I could find better apps tomorrow. Who knows. 

5 Star Apps

Advanced Task Killer Free

You'd be surprised at the amount of programs that run in the background, while your phone is on. When I first got my HERO I was not happy having to charge my almost dead phone halfway through my day. This program allows you to set it so it can cut off running programs, thus giving you more battery life.

Alarm Clock Plus

I just downloaded this app yesterday, and I already know its going to be awesome! The alarm that came with my phone quit working, and so last night I knew I needed a reliable alarm, and came across this one. You can have it go through your music playlist, or ringtones...but the here's the best part I like about it: You can set it to make you do Math in order to Dismiss it. Believe me I had to get out of bed, get my calculator and figure out the problems before getting the stupid thing off. It was horrible. But it worked.

Bank of America
I love being able to transfer money and check my accounts, right from my phone!

My CookBook

I've downloaded several recipe apps, and this is the only one I like, because it allows you to browse cooking websites and share the page with the recipe you like, to your phone. It then copies the recipe to your database. 

NewsRob
The best app for Google Reader users. I've tried several other apps, and they either, didn't work as they said they would, or would use my battery running the background.

Pandora
Pandora on your Phone! What more can I say? Only downfalls is that 

Lightning Bug 

I can't sleep in the quiet, this app is perfect for white noise, everything from household noises (washing machine, refrigorator, fans..) to city noises, beach noises...etc. I use it nightly. 

Handcent SMS

I hate HTC's text message feature as it doesn't allow you to do much customizing, this app allows me to set custom message alert,s

Touiteur

Best Twitter app thus far, I like how you can change the colors of the interface, and how it stores "hash tags" and has a button to call up users if you want to reply to something. 

Mabilo Ringtones - Love this app, but you can no longer get it in Androids Market, however it is downloadable from their website. Mabilo.com

4 Starred Apps

ClickerTrainer Dual 
All you dog trainers out there! Its got two clickers in which you can assign two different sounds, thus enabling you to train two dogs together! 

Tweet Caster

Good App, i use it for my other twitter accounts 

CadreBible

I like this app ok, its a lot more user friendly the AcroBible. I just have a hard time doing long amounts of reading off of a screen. 

CloudList 

I uninstalled Astrid To/Do list for this app and regretted it. No reminders, not alerts, no nothing. So now I just use it for my grocery lists. 

Dictionary.com
Great for in-class writings! Ha! I had to use this during our class the other day, to look up a synonym for a word I wanted to use, but felt I'd over used! 

eBuddy

If you are like me and have multi IM-Clients this is the app for you! you can log on from Yahoo, AOL, MSN and even Facebook Chat all at the same time. However it is a huge battery drainer!

3 Starred Apps 

• Mobile Metronome - For you music fans!! 
• YellowPages - It does what it says!
• Foursquare - Yeah its just an app for FourSquared! Nothing more nothing less. 

2 Star apps

• TuneIn Radio - Only works some of the time, doesn't get all the stations it claims to get 
• WordFued - Scrabble on your phone, would be a great app if you could play it with the computer, but alas this app requires another human, whether a friend of yours, or some random person it finds online. I'm sorry but that just creeps me out. 
• Sleep Bot Tracker Log - Keeps track of the hours you sleep at night. You press the button to start tracking before your go to sleep, and stop it in the morning. 
• GDocs - Syncs with Google Docs, though is better suited for reading pre-written documents than writing new ones. I use it frequently due to keeping a lot of information on my Google Docs account, and this way I can at least read the info if need be. 

Games

 Jewellust

First app I've bought all year! A super additing game. If you like BeJeweled you'll like this game. Which is funny cause I thought BeJeweled was a dumb game. 

Frozen Bubble 

Another mindless game, trying to clear the screen of ice bubbles before time runs out. 

Replica Island 
Nagivgate through mazes with your little android guy. Fun stuff. 

WordUp - Boggle on your Phone! 

The Moron Test

 OMG the HARDEST game ever! My friends (who both copied me and ran out and got Heros') bought this game on theif phones, and it frustrates me to no end! Truthfully its super easy, if you are paying attention to the wording! Which means I'm playing it for hours on end!! 

Tetronimo

Tetris for Free! 

Downloading.....

Bloggeroid  - We'll see!?

We Reward -Supposedly you can check in at different restaurants around your city and earn money through the points you collect there....we'll see!
