Top 3 Android Apps

I have been using my Zio M6000 phone for a few months now and I have found apps that I cant live with out. Apps that I feel are a must have for me and maybe for you as well. I would like to share some of mine with all of you.

My Top 3

 

Evernote:

First up is Evernote this is a note taking app that I use on my PC as well as my phone for taking notes that I need for along period of time or just for school I use it in some of my classes. Its nice to have this app in my pocket so that if I need to remember something that’s in my notebook on there I can just pull it out and look for it or if I need to write down something its right there. The only down side to the app is that you cant save notes right to the phone so if you cant get a cell signal or WIFI it doesn't work as well. You can get Evernote for android at Evernote’s website and it works with 1.6 and up.

Gtasks:

If you use Google calendar like I do and you use the tasks Gtasks might be useful for you. Personally I use Tasks in my calendar to keep track of homework so I know when its due and if it is done yet. The calendar on Android doesn't show tasks which is a problem for me but  I did find a solution Gtasks it syncs with your Gcal on the web and allows you to view, edit, add, delete, and, cross off tasks. It also comes with a small and large widget so you can see what needs to be done with out even opening the app (which is my favorite thing about the app is the widget). The one down side with it is in Google calendar on the web you can make a task and add a note to it, you can’t make a note with Gtask or see notes either. You can get Gtasks here. Also Gtasks works with 1.6 and up.

Pandora:

My mornings waiting for the bus or waiting for anything else for that matter would seem like for ever if not for this last app. Pandora I'm sure most people know what Pandora is by now but for the people who don’t Pandora is a customizable internet radio station you tell it who you want to listen to and if it will play there music and others like what you told it to find. You can thumbs up or down the songs and it will get a taste for what you like over time. The app allows you to get to and listen to all your stations and thumbs up and down songs just like on the web site. You can get Pandora here also you might want to know it works with 1.6 and up.

Its over now:

I hope you liked this list if there is any apps you would like me to take a look at just e-mail me mikesworldoftech@gmail.com. Also I should note that my phone is running Android 1.6 for now I was told that I should get 2.1 anytime now. Until then I can only use 1.6 apps.
