surprisingly good selections of coupons

Much slicker app from t-mobile than I expected. Lots of good partners for some great discounts.

find green business in your area

not the greatest interface, but a pretty comprehensive database of local green businesses and services.

needs a US version

or an option to change currency. Pretty helpful for a rough estimate of the money you could save by switching to CFLs.

has the answers to everything

Just a front for the website (which knows everything) but the included special keys keyboard is a nice addition.

better than the real sky

I live in the city so the lights drown out where the stars should be. Even when you've got a big beautiful sky infront of you, you can't beat having star names at your fingertips.

Live Radio on the GO!

  • App review for XiiaLive™ - Internet Radio

I have tried online radio streaming apps on phones since windows mobile and none have ever matched this one! I have to say it's even easier to streaming music than it is on my computer! I love the fact that it's appealing, its intuitive, saves favorites by pressing a cool + circle shaped button and my most favorite feature TAGS! When you like the track that it's playing just press TagMe button and it saves the track information! than I just later go and get it via other means :P

I think this potentially can replace your satellite radio, if you have one... :P It did for me! :)

Goofy fun

I got this app a while ago and it's good for a little bouncing-cow-alien break once in a while. Fun to play and simple (just tilt the phone to move the bouncing cow) but hard to beat! I'm not a huge video/computer game fan, but a round of Abduction is exactly what I need sometimes.

Great app, love the scanner

I love this app. I have a big library and desperately needed a complete listing somewhere. Scanned 350+ books already, very quickly using the barcode scanner. Export to CSV requires the paid version, $1.99 as of this writing.

Cons: It often misidentifies older barcodes, the only saving grace being that the older codes usually mistranslate into one of a half-dozen titles. Not a big deal for me.

Quick

Quick and fast. Tried it on an item I didn't think it would find. Found it in less than 5 seconds. Would highly recommend this App.

Read the webcomic of "romance,
sarcasm, math, and language" right on your Android phone. Read vertically or horizontally. The horizontal view is nice. UI is a little clunky and slow to load.

bit of geeky comic fun

Read the webcomic of "romance,
sarcasm, math, and language" right on your Android phone. It's a little buggy - not all the comics showed up - and it would be nice to be able to share on Facebook and Twitter right from the app - but it's a joy to read stick figure comics that most geeks can relate to.

Just another eReader...

  • App review for Kobo
  • Posted by GirlGoneGeek August 23, 2010
  • Recommended for Book Readers

...great, but it doesn't stand out.

Kobo is the new guy in the eReader game, and as such is still experiencing that mother of all limitations - an inferior library. Other than that, it's pretty much hand-in-hand with the Nook app, although Borders readers may find this more convenient for sync purposes. It also offers the clever night/day reading option, but fails to allow sideloading the way the Kobo hardware does.

Juice hog, and I'm sick of Rascal Flatts

I like Pandora SOME of the time, but I can't get over how much this drinks my battery (even when I am not running the widget) and how it STILL has not figured out that I don't want to hear anything by Rascall Flatts, EVER, even on my country station. I thumbs-down every one of their songs every time, but they always come back. It could use a little work as far as how it creates the stations, I think.

Fun complement to other check-in apps

This app is a cute way to add photos to your checkins on Foursquare or to Twitter if you don't do any other location services. Snap a pic and then you can choose where to send it, and you can caption or tag before doing so. It will automatically check you into the place on Foursquare too, if you want, so there's no need to use both apps when you send a picture.
