Google Sky Map App


Every wonder where the planets are chillin? Or maybe you supposed to be looking for a meteor shower and the directions are look toward mars? well no worry Google Sky Map has your back. This app allows the users to find the stars, plants and consolations with ease. just point your phone to the sky and through your screen you can see the everything. Its a pretty neat app especially you happen to be hanging out on your porch at night but cant see the stars thanks to the lamp posts. Great app to have on your phone even if your not a professional star gazer. Thanks for reading!

Astrid app


The Astrid app turns your phone into a mini organizer. Most of our droid phones offer a calendar to take notes on and set reminders but i find myself getting a little frustrated with it and at one time felt like bashing my phone against a wall. It is ok that is why we pay a little extra for the insurance. But with Astrid it gives you a bunch of different options to choose from to set level of importance, alerts, and dates and even warnings if something important is going to come up. i think Astrid is a great accessory to your day planner and if you dont have a day planner it does well on its own. Thanks for reading!

WordUp! App


Word Up! is basically a word game. As basic and uninteresting as it sounds it is pretty addicting. The game gives you 16 letters to use and you have to spell as many words as you can by connecting the letters together within a three minute time frame. The minimum size of the word is three and it is not as easy as it sounds. The 're options for those with a monster vocab to make it 6 x 6 with a larger minimum word length for those looking for a challenge. But keeping it simple at 4 x 4 with the play time extended keeps it pretty laid back. I am not saying put down your Playstation 3 or Xbox controller but when you are stuck in a waiting room or stuck somewhere and need some brain stimulation. WordUp! has your back. It is free to download and its fun to play. Thanks for reading and tell your friends about my page!

Gowalla App


The Gowalla app is an app that allows you to check into different places as you visit them. For example, if you happen to be eating at a Denny's somewhere you can check in and find items and see who else has checked in at that location. If it has not been made yet you can proudly create the location for all to see that you were the first their. It is a pretty fun game especially if you like to go out and travel a lot. As you go along you can collect items and when you go to the official Gowalla website you can put your favorite items in the vault. It is rumored that some of the items you find can be redeemed for actual goods. I have yet to stumble upon any but you never know you could be the lucky one. Gowalla is free to download in the app market so go out and explore your world! Thanks for reading.

Pandora Radio App


This app has been around for some time and was made popular via website. The Pandora Radio app is one of the best apps in my opinion to have on your phone. Not only does our awesome droid phones dub as a mp3 player but if you get bored with your own music the Pandora Radio app allows you to listen to random mixes of music all day everywhere you go. It gives you numerous options to play more of that kind of music or bookmark the songs for later if you want to purchase it from amazon mp3 or whichever store you purchase your mp3s from. I use this app when I am at the gym, at home, and with my phone to stereo hook up even in my car! Like all the apps thus far Pandora Radio is free so what do you have to lose? Thanks for reading i will be posting again soon!
