Must Have Apps for the Android Platform, Part 1
As a Droid Power User since the first Motorola Droid came out, I have used hundreds of both good and terrible applications. Here is a list of killer must-have apps and why.
This app found my phone’s apx location within 1 minute of logging in to the website. In addition to being able to locate your missing phone, Lookout scans applications, and keeps your phone secure while also giving you the ability to back up contacts, pictures and more to their site.
Where’s My Droid lets you send a text message (specific “attention word” your choice) to your phone from anywhere and it will set the phone ringer to max volume and start ringing so you can find it. This is helpful if you dropped it outside, in a couch, left it at a friend’s and so on. It can also give you a basic location by sending the GPS attention words.
Google Maps <– Click here to see all the newest features and ways to use it
Google Maps comes with the Android OS and the latest version is really cool. With this app and using the phones built in Voice command feature you’ll never be lost again and can even track the location of your kids after school if need be. You can also find restaurants, stores and so on along routes while navigating.
The microphone on the droid is pretty powerful. The screenshots below allow the application’s usefulness speak for itself. You can record your grocery list and schedule it to play later on as a reminder. Just think, you could remind yourself to take out the trash when you get home at 6 pm?
Stay tuned for more apps that you must have for your Droid powered phone!
