Useful Android Apps

Apps have been in our lives ever since the AppStore opened almost a year ago - now we are surrounded by tons of pointless apps that aren’t worth the binary code they’re printed on.

So how do you sift through the useless mess of apps and find the ones that will actually be useful to your life? Simple - read on to find out which apps you should be downloading that will actually do you some favours.

PhoneBook 2.0

Everyone knows how important our contact lists are - imagine losing all your pals phone numbers…where would you be? Well you don’t have to worry because PhoneBook backs up your contact list onto a remote server so that if the worst happens you will always have a copy of your mate’s phone numbers somewhere…

And there’s even more - with PhoneBook you are given a social networking app where you can share moods, location and photos with your chums!

BreadCrumbz

If Google Maps isn’t doing it for you then BreadCrumbz is the way forward. This app is often classed as a better app than Google Maps as instead of giving directions to your destination you get pictured based routes to follow so you can never really get lost again.

It’s directions for the future right there on your Android Smartphone! This is definitely a useful app - your pals can even create routes for you and record them on the phone’s camera and GPS.

Life 360

If you want to stay in touch with your local and family community then this is the app for you - the app will alert you to any danger in the community making sure you know everything about what’s going on…you’ll never be surprised by news again!

You can stay up to date with personal messages from your mum to local news about cat burglars in your area.

TuneWiki

TuneWiki is a social music app that provides audio, video and lyrics giving you an all round music experience! The built-in GPS function on the phone also allows you to know what music is being played around you in case you’re just extra nosey.

ShareYourBoard

This app is perfect if you spend a lot of time in meetings surrounded by white boards. You can capture white board images with magical edge detection, geometry transformations and image enhancement to provide a perfect white board copy on your phone.

You can then send the image out to your work chums so they can catch up on anything at a later date. You can take a picture of a white board from any angle, in any lighting and of any marker that was used! What a treat!
