I always receive emails from Android users asking what apps I like to run on my phone and tablet. I always have to insert when I mention phones that I work for NTELOS Wireless, so there you go.
Anyway, I thought instead of writing each person individually for a while I would tell you all here. I know many in world like iPhones and all they offer, but I am an Android lover so I won’t mention them much. However, NTELOS started carrying iPhones just last week so when I get a hold of one my opinion may change slightly… nah.
I wrote an article about some apps back in January of this year but these are always changing. For instance, then it was called the Android Market;s now it is named Google Play and found at a different URL: play.google.com. I guess one of the reasons the name changed is now you can purchase more than just Android apps.
OK, here is my list of apps I use and like most. There are others that may do the same things but I like these or have not heard of the others yet. So if you have suggestions please shoot me an email and let me know.
All of these can be found on Google play if you search for them.
Nook for Android – if you are a Barnes and Noble e-book reader you can use this app to read on your phone or tablet PC instead of your nook.
Barcode Scanner – Scan barcodes on products and look up prices and reviews. Also QR for websites, information, contact, etc.
Bible – (by LifeChurch) great bible app with many versions. You can study; use an annual reading plan and more.
Evernote – this app lets you take notes, photos, create to-do lists, record voice reminders, etc. You can then make them searchable and sync them across most platforms so you can find them anywhere.
Facebook -I cringe recommending this since I am not a fan, but lots of people use it, even me on rare occasions.
Fox News – I am not much into news but this app works well and that’s the news for now.
Moon+ Reader Pro – You know me; I don’t like to pay for apps, but pay for this one I did. It reads all non-DRM e-books. There is also a free version to try out.
Office Suite Pro – OK, here’s another I like so well I actually pay for the full version. This replaces Microsoft Office on your Android devices. It does a better than average job of it, too.
See you next week with a few more. Remember let me know if you have some favorites!
