[Closed] 154: Android apps you like

I`ve just downloaded Pulse which is really good.

what's Pulse?

It is app that brings together the daily feeds of your favourite online resources. For example, on mine i have the bbc, discover magazine, nat geo, dirt, plus a load of others. It is all presented in a scrollable strip form.

[url= https://market.android.com/details?id=uk.co.sundroid.free ]Sundroid[/url] is handy for knowing when sunset is, ie do I need to have lights for the bike.

[url= https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sebastian.stats ]Stats free[/url] keeping track of calls/texts/data usage.

[url= https://market.android.com/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer ]Wifi analyzer[/url] good if you live in an urban area where there are lots of other wifi networks around - lets you find the least crowded wifi channel for your home network.

[url= https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.listen ]Google Listen[/url] subscribe to podcasts and listen to them on your phone.

Google+, Layar (mainly for work demos), Kindle, Amazon Mp3, Amazon UK, Sky+, 2Player for streaming from my NAS to the phone (which then gets plugged into speakers in the garage), Glympse for showing people where I am when out riding in case I fall asleep in a ditch, Scanlife barcode/QR scanner (work, again), Maverick for GPS and mapping (inc. OS maps), TrainingPeaks to access my TrainingPeaks account and Vouchercloud (work once more).

Ones that have lasted on my phone include:
Spotify
Seesmic for Twitter and other Social feeds
Google+
TuneIn Radio - for streaming Radio
Evernote - For storing notes and accessing them on other devices
Dropbox - For storing anything digital and accessing it on multiple devices
Kayak - for quickly looking up hotel and flights
GPS Logger - great for long rides, drives as its very power efficient.
My Tracks
Snowstorm weather ap for the non HTC Sense phones.

daily dilbert 🙂

A few I've just downloaded for my Galaxy S2...

Widgetlocker - makes your lock screen much more useful
Beautiful Widgets - awesome customization abilities
PowerAMP - excellent MP3 player (with a great EQ)
Tiny Flashlight + LED - does what it says on the tin
Skype

My Fitness Pal for weight loss
Endomondo for tracking rides
Twitter for something to do in the work toilet/lift
TV Guide for checking what's on film4 tonight
Autotrader for checking out cars
Tripadvisor
Skyscanner

cheers some good suggestions in there-psychle, beautiful widgets and widget locker both cost a couple quid, worth buying?

c:geo (open source version) - geocaching
copilot live - offline satnav
f1.com 2011 - live F1 timing, sector times, weather etc
google sky map - live star map
orux maps - offline OS mapping using maps created with mobac 1.8
thinkfree office - view pdfs, office docs etc on the phone
opera mobile - really fast web browser
Astrid tasks - todo list
QuitNow! - stop smoking app with milestones

with the exception of copilot, they're all free.

psychle, how do you find the gps on your s2?

Mine is taking absolutely ages to lock on, if at all and seems very temperamental. Having found out it's a known issue, I'm not sure if there's something wrong with my handset or not.

I'm now really loving MM tracker. Google Skymap is a bit of fun- free too. Tells you the names of the stars/ constellations. A torch app is useful too- I have one called Flashlight, but if somebody knows of one that flashes SOS can you let me know?

Moon 3D is great for when my coven meets.
Cover Art Downloader lets me download cover art. Blimey- it does what it says on the tin!

Also Winamp for music, and Advanced Task Manager for task management- durrr 😉

I much prefer Doggcatcher over Listen for podcasts. I travel quite a lot with work so download all manner of stuff (mostly either comedy or new music stuff) to listen to on flights in hotel rooms etc.
