Electronics Killer apps for Android? - Page 53

Since there's an iPhone version, I figured I'd start a Droid version. After being handcuffed by Sprint's SERO plan for the past two years, I finally ordered my LG Optimus S last night. It'll be here in about 24 hours. So, what toys should I play with when it arrives?

Does anyone have a Nexus 7 cover they like? The one I have now isn't quite doing it for me. Good for travel and throwing it in a bad, but not as much for just around the house or light usage.

I ordered a Transformer Prime last year, but had my preorder canceled and chose to not reorder. But I finally gave into the tablet market (after using a borrowed iPad for a long time), and got a Nexus 7 a bit ago.

I'm still feeling it out. But so far, I love it. The size does have its drawbacks, but it feels great in the hand. The iPad is better for browsing, but the Nexus just feels better on you. The buttons are a bit too flush for my liking - I still **** up the power and volume buttons - but that's a minor complaint.

But the product itself is great. I can't put it down.

Just got my first android phone, a galaxyIII, and going through this looking for app ideas. Anyone ever seen a really good workout tracker? I'd like on where I can set and reuse workout routines and enter in weights and reps, etc, which can pull up past results as well.

MyFitnessPal. The best!

Ahh yeah. I've used that one on the computer in the past, didn't think about it having the phone app. Thanks!

Can you enter workout routines, sets, reps and weights on MyFitnessPal?

JEFIT is the best I've seen.

I ended up with this case after buying a different one from the same maker. The one I bought was like 7 bucks, not as nice, and didn't have the auto screen off. It wasn't advertised to have it, yet the company still offered to replace it with one that did. I chose this one and it's pretty cool.

Another request - does anyone have a podcast player/manager the syncs across different devices? I'm using Doggcatcher right now, which I quite like, but I'd like to at least be able to sync across tablet and phone. Internet would be great as well.

It's probably about over, but Swiftkey is on sale for a buck at the moment if any of you guys have been considering purchasing it:

They are also discounting books and music, if that's more your thing.

[edit]I guess it's not 25 a day, but instead about a dozen different ones.

You can get all those free on piratebay

Winamp is pretty good. Over wifi it allows you to move music to your phone.

If you can't support the devs by paying a frigging quarter, or even $.99, you shouldn't have a smart phone.

Honestly, I've never used it for that. I use it primarily to keep track of my cardio(jogging), weight, and caloric intake. You'd have to check it out to see if it would work for your routine...

Thanks Zep. I use JEFIT and am real happy with it. If I ever need a cardio app I'll remember FitnessPal.
