I absolutely love my Droid and love to find cool APPS to download. I am going to share with you some of the ones I love and need your help as well. Why do I need your help? Well because my son loves my phone and loves to play with it and I can't find any cool APPS for him....I know their are some momma's out there that have some fun APPS for their babies. Brody is 16 months so I need something age appropriate and I would like it to be learning but fun too.
The APPS I love (in alphabetical order) are:
1. Draw Something....I am not much into playing games but I LOVE THIS! You basically are playing Pictionary with your friends or random people they pick for you. My friend Julie and I play it quite a bit. She always sends me a text or HEYTELL (I will explain below) and says HEY DRAW SOMETHING!
I downloaded the free version because I don't like to pay for APPS...I know I am cheap! If you have it please add me and I will DRAW you SOMETHING! Hehe
2. Dropbox....I haven't used this very much yet but so far I love it. You simply create an account and it allows you to put pictures, files, videos, etc on the internet that only you or someone with your account info can get into. When you need them or need someone else to view them just get into your account or let someone else get into your account. My phone will not allow me to send videos thru text messaging because the file is too large and if I record them in a lower resolution they are fuzzy and you can't see anything...BOOO! This way I can put my videos and pictures in a drop box and let my friends and family view them! They can download and copy the pictures, videos, and files to their own computer.
3. HeyTell.....Looooooove this and I had it for a long time but nobody else did so I deleted it....well my friend Julie got it and so I decided to download it again! She HeyTells me ALLLLL the time and now I had my sister get it. It's basically a walkie talkie. Well that's what I think. I love using this when I am driving or if I have a lot to type. It's also better than leaving a voicemail. I NEVER EVER check my voicemail so this makes it easier for me to check my HeyTell and then reply back real quick.
4. HP ePrint Home & Biz......this is great if there is a coupon, picture, etc that I would like printed on our home printer. It sends it directly to the printer and prints. When I get home its sitting in the tray. How cool is that? The only complaint is that it won't let me print emails! GRRR I am looking for a wi-fi printing app that will allow this. If you have a suggestion please let me know!
5.Instagram.....awwww it simply makes me into a professional photographer when everybody knows I am far from it. It allows you to do so many cool fun things with photos and then save them and post them to Facebook. I am still learning things everyday with this app but I highly recommend it. I think of this as a Photoshop for your phone and it's FREE! SCORE!
6. KFVS12weather.....there is one for news and one for weather. I love this. This allows you to type in your zipcode and will give you a digital radar map, 10 day forecast, severe weather alerts, and what the weather is doing hourly. If there is a storm cell, you can click it and it will tell you the wind speed, direction, and the time it hit. It will also tell you if it includes tornadic activity, high winds, or hail. It also gives you an icon at the top on your main page of the current temp. Make sure if you get this, get the weather version. The news version has weather but it's not as fancy as the KFVS12weather app.
7. MyFitnessPal....I have already talked about this app in a previous post but I will explain it again. It allows you to track your calories day by day, meal by meal. It's very cool if you have a goal set for how many calories you are allowed because it will tell you how many you have left and if you workout it will tell you how many extra calories you can add. I love how it allows you to track everything.....calories, exercise, water intake, etc. If you would like to start counting calories this is a MUST. It's very easy to use.
8. Notepad....I like this silly app because it simply lets me type things so I won't forget them. When I am laying in bed at night and something pops in my head, I really have no desire to get out of bed to write down something so I type it on my notepad and look at it the next day. This comes in handy!
9. Pandora.....I find a lot of people either don't have this or don't know what it is. Well if you don't....... PLEASE get it. You will LOOOOOVE it. I plug it into my iHome and listen to it in the shower, or on the boat, or in my car. You pick an artist, or genre and it randomly selects songs similar to what you picked. I usually just type in an artist but a few days ago I typed in Old School Hip Hop (bringing back my dance team Indianette days with Tawmi :-( It saves what channels you previously picked and will be there when you turn it back on. It has a few commercials but not very long! :-) Please download this if you haven't already!
10. SoundHound.....hear a song on the radio and want to know the name of it,who sings it, and when it came out. Just go to SoundHound and it will listen to the song for about 10 seconds and it will tell you. You can also humm a song or sing a song yourself and it will tell you. I have tried singing a song though and it didn't work....probably because I can't sing or carry a tune. HAHA Great App!
Those are my favorite 10....please leave me your favorite apps and kid apps. I love finding cool apps! Some of these may already come on your phone.
XOXOXOX,
Brianne
