Medication Reference Tool

• App review for Epocrates
• Posted by mark04276 November 04, 2010

For those of you that use Medication, this is a must have app. First you must register (free) and create a user name and password. During your registration it will ask for your job occupation with a list of only medical jobs. You don't have to lie, just scroll to the bottom to find Other-Consumer.
This App has a complete medication reference. It also has:
- Interaction check (make sure there is no reactions between meds)
- Pill ID (Identifies a pill by markings, colors, shapes, etc.),
- X2 Calculators (some I recognize like body mass index, Ideal body weight, others you probably recognize if your in medical field)
- Tables (I have no idea. I have been really healthy all my life, thank god, so I am not familiar with a lot of this terminology)
-History (keeps track of what you already looked up)

What else can I say besides it is free

Stinks

• App review for Skyfire Web Browser 4.0
• Posted by rockopico November 04, 2010

The only reason I'm saying this browser stinks is because it will not show .aspx videos or silverlight videos based on microsoft. I can't view my home video cameras from my phone, which totally stinks.
I'm overall just not impressed with what this browser brings to the table. Half the time it doesn't even render videos correctly.

Could have wrote this review an hour ago....

• App review for Angry Birds
• Posted by mark04276 November 03, 2010

......... if I could have stopped playing this game. I never even heard of Angry Birds before, never mind playing it. I figured I had to play it before writing a review about it. Well, it is very addictive and challenging. One thing I like about my Android is simple little games that will keep me entertained when I have some extra time to spare and this one fits into that category easily.

Let the calendar NAG me..and snooze it.

Very handy and great working app.
The default calendar notifications just suck...

Without this app it only reminds me 1 time of a apointment..and i could only snooze it for 5 min...
That's the only thing i missed from my wm phone..

But with Calendar snooze , it will nag you all you want..and you can snooze it for any time (with fast presets..and custom times)

The notification is completly configurable with sound,led,wake and even speech....

I'm Loving it :-)

Mostly my fault

• App review for Pure Calendar widget (agenda)
• Posted by Starlilie November 03, 2010

I'll take the blame for paying for this app and not totally reading it. I was under the impression it would be a calendar widget but it's most certainly an agenda widget. No calendar options. I wanted a nice customizable calendar and now since I paid for it I refuse to uninstall it.

Great addon

Great addon for the Dolphin browser! Saves your bookmarks to your SD or even syncs them with google! How cool is that! :)

Best one for me

• App review for Handcent SMS
• Posted by mark04276 November 01, 2010

so far. It does texting just fine. You can set it up to use balloons if you like (actually installs that way). I would have given it a 5 if it had an auto responder built into this program. Other than that it keeps track how many messages you sent, ability to save, etc. Really more than I need.
I am still in search for a good SMS with an auto responder built in.

OK version for the Andriod however a few UI niggles and generally times out a lot (but this could be the back end rather than the app).

Great video chat over 3g and wifi

This video chat app is the best right now. I really love it. I can video chat across platforms, iphone, android and it works over 3g and wifi. The quality of the camera is actually pretty clear over 3g which is why this one is currently at the top. It supports speaker phone and using both front and back cameras. I took away a bar because they still need to work on battery life issues across some phones but they have issued fixes for a lot of phones really fast so if yours is affected don't fret a fix is on the way. It is really easy to use, its only video chat, no other connection to anything else.

It adds your contacts to your buddy list automatically so whoever in your contacts got tango will show up. It's so easy to use that It's really hard to give it 4 stars but I have to cause without a battery I have no phone in the first place! The rest is great and you won't look elsewhere for video chat.

The next thing needed is phone -> pc video chat. Let's get that going!

Great home replacement

It is a great app to replace the standard homescreens on your Android device, it adds those little features which you are quite often missing. I do have the feeling it slows down my phone a bit.

Epic!

This app is epic! There are no games with the app but you can find the easily! Do save them to you SD-card to save the space.

I was never able to run an emulator on my PC but now with this app I can play all those forgotten games again!

Well worth the money and a great way to pass time!

• App review for Alchemy
• Posted by bchez October 28, 2010

I would not say this app, is fun so much, but rather highly entertaining. I love the puzzle of trying to guess what goes together. It works great on the Droid X - no force closes at all.

Good deals and lots of stores

Downloaded the app last week, and have been very happy. I used it at Kohls and Childrens place and got about $30 in discounts. The cashier accepted the coupon.

Stay on top of the power management

• App review for Advanced Task Killer Froyo
• Posted by arvid October 26, 2010
• Recommended for Tech/Social Networking Junkies

There is still much to do about task management and whether it has a real affect. Since Froyo, the
older task management programs stopped working as Android doesn’t allow third party apps anymore
to kill services or tasks. Whether Android does a good job in managing tasks/services, I don’t know but
sometimes I do wish I could kill a specific task, just to free up some memory or stop it from consuming
data.

As the app is free, I would recommend you to give it a try and see whether your phone gets quicker and
consumes less battery. You don’t have to be really tech savvy to use and understand ATK. When you
are fine with Android managing your tasks there is no real need to install this app.

Stay on top of the latest news

• App review for NewsRob (Google Reader / RSS)
• Posted by arvid October 26, 2010

NewsRob offers two different flavours, the free version and the pro version. The pro version adds some
features that are more specific to powerusers and removes the adds. My suggestion, go for the pro
version after you have trailed the free version for a few weeks. You are going to love it.

After trying several other RSS apps, NewsRob to me is the big winner. The 5 euros is well worth the
spend and the developer is always interested in hearing what you think can be improved.

Capture anything you need to remember!

• App review for Evernote

This app is an extension of the website and allows you to snap anything you need to remember just with your phone. The app integrates seamlessly with the website and allows you to quickly access notes that are already in the cloud.

You can also search the stored notes from within the mobile app and use the OCR-functionality of Evernote.

I use Evernote in my day to day life, being it to snap some important news articles from the paper, store receipts, receipes and so on. Must have app to organize your life!

** Update**

They just added offine support and did a compleet overhaul on the UI. Bumping it up to 5 stars, Evernote did a great job!

free texting

Great app that can save you loads of money. With this app you can text for free and it works perfectly. Most of my friends either have an iPhone or an Android device which makes it really useful.

The app saves the battery (no battery hog), allows you to send pictures and videos and provides a good overview of the messages that have been delivered and viewed.

This is email/sms/mms all in one!

Fastest barcode reader on the block!

Love the concept, but Google Goggles needs to de-fog

• App review for Google Goggles
• Posted by CupcakesAndCode October 20, 2010
• Recommended for Tech/Social Networking Junkies

I love Google. I love their Labs projects, and I really got behind the concept of Goggles. I mean, really. Searching with pictures? Love this. I've even seen really cool results when my friends have used this app.

But for me? Nada. Maybe I'm not a great photographer, or maybe I'm choosing the wrong subjects. Something just doesn't quite work.

It took me about four tries to snap a photo that the app could recognize. At Goggles' suggestion, I used the crop tool to remove anything distracting, and took the clearest possible photo of the AT&T logo on my tv remote. And...the result that was returned was a basketball.

Maybe Google needs prescription goggles?

Lots of Good Info - Widget is Great!

• App review for Mini Info Classic
• Posted by dugn October 19, 2010

Use the widget to see battery, memory and SD card space at a glance (takes a double-wise widget spot) or tap the widget or app to see details of your system including battery, phone memory, SD memory, CPU usage, RAM usage. It also has quick buttons to see the state of (and turn on or off) your bluetooth, wireless, GPS, volume (adjustment) or brightness (adjustment).

Probably the cleanest looking and highest functioning app to quickly view and change your primary mobile settings. Highly recommneded.

A donation of $2 rids you of ads, which I'm glad to do for this helpful little app.
