Surprisingly, the app I seem to use the most and is probably one of my favorites is TeslaLED that turns your phone's flash into a flashlight. Into my older age I am finding it more difficult to see in the dark so this utility app is priceless. Other than that, it's difficult to choose a favorite Android app since I have so many and use them all regularly. However, I think I can pick my top 10 that I like and use the most.
1. Google Plus - social media 2. Google Voice - for my Google phone number for calls, voicemail, and text messaging 3. You Tube - you know 4. Google Talk - video and instant messaging 5. Skype - video and instant message 6. Gmail - you know 7. Netflix - you know 8. Google Listen - for podcast 9. DI.fm - listen to streaming Trance music 10. Grocery IQ - shopping list ...okay...top 15 11. Evernote - cloud sync notes 12. Google Play Music - listen to my music collection in the cloud 13. Google Reader - read all the blogs I follow 14. KeePassDroid - password database 15. Key Ring Rewards Cards - to hold all those cards you get from retailers and restaurants ---------------------------------------- Have a Better One, Edward Crosby http://about.me/edwardcrosby On Tue, Oct 2, 2012 at 12:26 AM, Shag <[email protected]> wrote: > You guys rock!
