What are your favourite android apps at the moment?

[The Lonious Monk]

Anything from the Go Development team really. I got their launcher, SMS, web browser, battery monitor, dialer, and a few other widgets. I like how customizable they are plus they usually have some pretty good functionality too.

I just saw that Microsoft released a remote desktop app that will let you control your Windows 8 machine with your Android phone. I'll try that when I get home.

That's sick. I gotta get up on that today

Whats so much better about the GO team's SMS and dialer compared to the stock ones I am using?

 

[The Lonious Monk]

The big thing about Go products is customization. There are hundreds of skins for all of their apps, so from a cosmetic stance, you can make them look however you want. Hell with the SMS, there is even a built-in theme creator. They also have options that your stock apps might not have. For instance the Go SMS has a bunch of emoticon, language, and function plug-ins that might give it capabilities that your stock SMS doesn't have.

Tru2go allows me to bank on the go with my credit union. I can even deposit checks using my phone. Saves me a drive to the credit union.

Period Tracker

Hulu Plus...I watch different shows during lunch break at work.

AE ...I watch the First 48, Cold Case Files, and Billy the Exterminator.

Indeed...best app for jobs in my opinion.

Mint summarizes my financial situation.

Brightest Flash light

B1 Free Archiver: basically winzip/winrar for android. not only can you unpack zips and rars, you can pack some yourself as well. GOAT for downloading mixtapes off datpiff or something.

KeepSafe: Hides your pictures and keeps them in a safe only accessible by you.

Komik: Comic book reader

MangaSearch: Self explanatory

Battery Indicator: needed because motorola only display battery levels in increments of 10

is there a way to get apps you have to pay for free?

 

[merocane]

Old school way was googling (insertappname)here.apk or a space instead of the file extension + apk.

Anyway..

I use Evernote for everything. Get the widget too. I use it for literally everything. Voice record, take notes, my maintenance manual for the whip, everything.

Indeed's app is trash (as of summer 2013)--I couldn't apply to jobs easily through it.

Ringdroid to make ringtones despite the fact my phone is always on vibrate.

Zedge for wallpapers and notification tones.

I'm too leery of running Kickasstorrents' app on my phone, but I rock with the site.

Credit Karma is a must-have if you're grown.

FBReader because Kindle app removed drag & drop support.

Parcels is self-explanatory.

Camera 360/Photo Grid/Photoshop Express combo for pictures and what not.

Verizon messages- this application is much like iMessage is a must have IMO for Android users on the Verizon network. This app acts as a text messaging client and it can replace the stock one allowing users to text each other and communicate to non mobile devices such as tablets and PCs.

ESPN Scorecenter- you can program your favorite teams and it keeps you updated with the stats and scores quarter by quarter.

Hide it Pro- Best app on the Android market in my opinion for hiding private pictures and videos you don't want everyone seeing. The app looks just like audio manager as far as the skin but is much more underneath. Pictures, video, text messages conversations, and even apps can be hidden on this app. Think you need to root your phone to enable this app to hide other apps.

Pandora- it gives you the user like 30 or 40 hours per month of free music stations featuring their favorite artist before it asks the user to upgrade to the paid version.

Nike Running- it keeps up with the distance you run and the amount of calories you burn.

Flixster- you can read movie reviews of the upcoming movies to the big screen.

One other one....

Kii Keyboard- its just about as good as Swift key plus its free and they don't make you do a free trial and force you to pay for the paid version like Swift key does.

 

[Bcotton5]

[The Lonious Monk]

[Bcotton5]

lol now that I know how to get free aps put me on some more shit

 

[Bcotton5]

is firefox the best browser?

 

[The Lonious Monk]

I liked Chrome better than Firefox. I'm using Next Browser from the Go Development team now. It's very smooth.

 

[CJ]

Dolphin & chrome are the best

 

[Bcotton5]

Ive been using Firefox but I might try Dolphin, anyone with a S4 get the air controls to work while web browsing?

The only time it works for me is previewing emails/texts and gallery

BBM is now available for Android

Osmos HD is a really cool game. Unique idea and pretty fun.

Magisto is pretty good for editing videos. there are probably better video editors though

 

[The Lonious Monk]

I never understood. What's the point of BBM? What makes it better than regular text messaging or Google Hangouts?
