Android Apps I Still Use
Posted on Monday, April 13, 2009 in android, g1, mobile life, mobile phones
Back in December I reviewed my favorite applications for the G1 and Android. I thought it was time to revisit the subject. I’ve added a few new apps that I use frequently, and I’ve replaced several apps.
- Greed – I am a GReader addict, and this app just feeds my dependency. It’s the only app I’ve paid for. It’s worth your $5 if you use GReader.
- Locale – This does a great job of putting the location based capabilities of Android to good use.
- Weather Channel – Still one of my most used apps.
- PktAuctions eBay – This is a really nice eBay app. It is easy to use, and it works great.
- Ring Control – This was the first app I installed. I am biased, a good friend of mine wrote it. The paid version adds new functionality, i’ve stuck with the free version.
- OI Safe – This app is an upgraded replacement for Password Safe. Still works well. My old favorite eWallet is now available for Android, but not at the magic price of free.
- Google Finance – This has replaced Quote Pro.
- K-9 – This has gotten better since my last review. It alerts properly, even when the phone is locked.
- ConnectBot – On the rare occasions that I need to SSH into a server, and my laptop is miles away, this one works.
- Handstand – I don’t use this as often as Greed, but it’s still a nice app.
- ShopSavvy – Still cool. I used it today at the local Microcenter, saved myself $30.
