VisR is a really nice app that organizes photos based on the corresponding event. Super useful for people who take a lot of photos.

It works very well

I have extremely eclectic musical tastes. And have about 75 gigs of music stored on my PC, and even though I tried to stump this app with several obscure pieces of music, it recognized everything I threw at it. I highly recommend this app.

Kick booty music app!

  • App review for Spotify
  • Posted by AndroidSteph August 26, 2011
  • Recommended for Music Fans, Social Butterflies or Tech/Social Networking Junkies

Adore this app with a passion. It keeps all of my local music as well as adds additional music that I pick to my playlist. I've always been a big fan of cloud anything but cloud music is my favorite. I love the idea that I could just listen to music wirelessly without having to sync it up with my computer or even download it. I'm reserving a 5 bars rating for this app as some of the cooler features are locked unless you have a subscription. To me, if you use this app enough, the $3.99 min a month is totally worth it. Move over Pandora!

A simply laid out, yet useful reference for PC users

While the layout is fairly basic, the guide itself is very informative. The guide contains three major sections, which cover computer issues, installation guides, and reference guides. The app could use a better UI and a few more reference guides, but overall, its very well written and is a bargain at 0.99 cents. Some of the issues covered are Windows installation, virus removal, network issues, and even some hardware installation guides.

It's on the cards

Nice Klondike version with plenty of options and features, plus it's 100% free.

Three in one

Now there's no need to go to three separate sites (or three different apps) just to see what your friends have been up to.

Planner

Cool app for scheduling and calendar entries. The name may sound a little confusing, but it's a nice way to keep organized.

Remember to drink water!

If you forget to drink enough water - this app is for you. You set the number of cups of water you want to drink per day, and the app will remind you during the day to drink the water! It also tracks how much water you drink and will show you a neat graph.

Must have widgets!

  • App review for Beautiful Widgets Pro
  • Posted by LadyX July 27, 2011
  • Recommended for Students, Career People or Tech/Social Networking Junkies

Beautiful Widgets is an amazing widgets app that will give you many different useful widgets for your Android phone or tablet. It even has Honeycomb support so it will work flawlessly on your Galaxy Tab 10.1 of Xoom!
I personally use the Smaller Home Widget because I don’t like a lot of clutter, it has everything I need (clock, weather, and date / time info). The weather piece of the app can be used with either Google Weather or Accuweather. There are neat weather animations when you tap on the weather icon (actual rain when it’s raining, etc) and weather alerts as well.

This widget pack also comes with toggles which I haven’t used because I used CyanogenMod which has toggles built in but they are super handy if you don’t have another mod that will turn on / off your services (wifi, Bluetooth, airplane mode, etc).

This app is full of customization options so if you’re looking for an amazing widget set or something to help modify your phone - check out this app!

Fun, educational and entertaining!

  • App review for Sky Map
  • Posted by LadyX July 26, 2011
  • Recommended for Road Warriors, Parents, Students, Outdoors Enthusiasts, Career People or Tech/Social Networking Junkies

If you’ve ever wondered where a certain constellation was or what the one right up there is, this is the app for you. This app has a beautifully simple interface and works on all Android devices. I like using it on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 because you can see even more of the screen.

Basically this app uses it’s GPS and gyroscope to figure out where you’re pointing it (hold it like a driving wheel and move it around) and gives you a portal to the nights sky, even in the daylight!

I love showing this to people and pointing it at the ground and seeing which stars are below us. Great app for kids too!

Ready set swim

This app gives you access to a swim workout database that includes multiple distances and swimming levels from which to choose. It's like having your own private swim coach and I find it gives me greater incentive to do a stronger swim.

Name that position

This app is handy as a reference when you are viewing a ballet performance or need to brush up on terms as a beginning ballerina. I adore both doing and watching ballet so this app with its flash card presentation is informational and fun.

Must have for getting in shape!

I LOVE this app! I’ve been using it to keep track of my walks around the lake and other long walks. I’ve found it very motivating and I love that RunKeeper will send me an email letting me know that I’ve bested my previous stats.

It has options for many different workouts and plans, including treadmill activities which I plan to try out as soon as I buy my new treadmill. It will also show you your route on a map as well as the speed, distance, intervals and calories burned! I've turned off all the sounds and guidance but they are also included.

It will also link to your Facebook and automatically post your newest activity if you choose to allow it.

Share What You Want, Hide the Rest

  • App review for GenialWriting
  • Posted by Gabellini July 21, 2011
  • Recommended for Students or Tech/Social Networking Junkies

This App is great for anyone who likes to write down thoughts, ideas or really anything, regularly. Then you have a capability of sharing it via text, email and even facebook so that you can carefully select what you want people to see. This always seems to help me clear my thoughts because I'll write down everything that's on my mind, and then be able to pick out stuff to share that won't offend anyone or cause drama

If Only...

...I had this app during tests for world history, US history and pretty much any other test that inquired about anything known to the public. This App is truly fantastic and it has helped me to settle a good number of arguments.

It's all in the +

  • App review for Google+
  • Posted by MikaelaLynn July 15, 2011
  • Recommended for Tech/Social Networking Junkies

I've been hearing about Google+ for awhile now, but had no clue what it was all about. Well. The other day I was invited to check it out! While I've only had a few days to look it over so far, I'd day it's going to be a big competitor for Facebook.

The widget is pretty streamlined, and makes it easy to directly post a picture or a thought on your page. As a Google girl all around (Android, Gmail, etc...) I love that my Google+ links directly to my gmail account.

The basic setup is pretty familiar if you've used FBook or Twitter, there's a feed and photos. There's also 'circles' where you have the option of limiting en masse what certain people can see of your page. So your boss can't see what you did Friday night and your professional acquaintances don't get bogged down with your 'deep thoughts.'

One of the coolest things I'm super excited to try out is the Huddle. It's a get together with friends...without leaving your house! It's a group messaging with voice and video options! I can't wait to try it!

BlackJack!

I haven't been a card gamer person but this game is neat. The app interface is clean and easy to use and helps you learn how to play blackjack.

The only problem I had when I installed this app was quickly fixed by the developer.

I like the 3D interface and that you can change the game mode level. Since I'm new to the game it's nice to play a simple game but I can still hand this over to my friends who do play BlackJack and they can still play a competitive game.

If you like card games give this one a try!

Silliest battery widget ever

  • App review for BathingCat
  • Posted by GirlGoneGeek July 08, 2011
  • Recommended for Social Butterflies or Tech/Social Networking Junkies

I wanted a battery and temperature widget for my tablet and I got this... how do you resist a cat in a bathtub? You can customize the look of the cat, give it milk (it will complain when hungry), and it talks to you. Sometimes it's a little snarky (it told me my hair looks weird), but the battery reading is on target and I think the temp readout is as well. A fun alternative to standard battery widgets.
