Android Phone App Recommendations?

Steph0871 · November 2010

I just had to completely wipe my phone in order to set up my work calendar (we're now on Google.) I'm taking this an excuse to add to my fun things on my phone.

What are you favorite apps? why?

There's an app called Aldiko that I love. You can download books and it turns your phone into a reader.

Fun fact I heard, probably more of a Snapple fact: George Lucas gets paid everytime some one uses the word droid bc he invented it. You now owe George 3 dollars. I think I owe him the same.

<div>He actually DOES get a cut everytime Verizon/etc advertises using the word "Droid." I think android is common use though.</div>

This.

Closely followed by Angry Birds.

Steph0871 · November 2010

I suppose I should have thrown out my favorite too, to be fair

Pandora (duh)

Advanced Task Killer (ATK)- not really a game, but still saves my battery life

Shazam

LTZ- I have Verizon, and the HTC Eris, which was the first android phone they got. I've had it since early February and I love it.

LessThanZero · November 2010

Thanks Steph - I was looking into the Droid Incredible because I've heard good things about it. But I'm open to anything. I'm a current BlackBerry enthusiast. BlackBerry's are wonderful and I feel very loyal to them, though they lack the bells and whistles of newer smartphones so I'm having a hrd time. I'm not sure what I'll do but I'm definitely looking for something a little more media driven soon.

psichick · November 2010

kik messenger

weather bug

alchemy

dropbox

fruit ninja

ny times

paper toss

wordfeud

there are so many more....

also don't bother with any kind of app killer or those "battery saver" programs. they don't actually do anything other than make you feel better, and can cause serious issues due to changes they sometimes make in programs.

Says who? Verizon installed mine for me, and when I called because I was having issues with my battery randomly completely discharging, the first thing they asked me was if I had Advanced Task Manager and used it...

<div>Ditto. And, um, what 'changes' are they making to the programs? I could go into each program directly and close out but that takes time. And, my phone is noticeably faster when I do 'kill' all of the programs. Especially because there are like 15 programs that start up running when I turn on the phone.</div>

K Byte · November 2010

I love this game called Alchemy. I have it for my Android phone on T-Mobile. It's a really good time waster.

Chi_Chi · November 2010

I'm late, but I have Facebook, Weather Channel, ATK, WordFeud. I've also got one for ringtones, I just don't remember its name.

LTZ: We have Verizon and both have a Droid 2. I love my phone (posting from it now) and I haven't heard J say anything bad about his. He had a Samsung Fascinate first but returned it for the D2.

And the last one I just got is a Sleep Bot Tracker log. because I have been having a very hard time getting to sleep and then not wanting/able to get awake at a decent time. So I am able to track it so much better this way for the doctors.

Have fun with all those apps out there..
all the above ones that I have are/were all free
