In January, I changed my cell phone from a Blackberry to the Samsung Epic 4g (an Android phone). I am a long-time Sprint customer and did not want to switch carriers, so I researched the available phones. I like the keyboard on my Epic, but what I was looking for most was a bigger screen and lots of free apps. I got both. All of these apps listed are free.
So far, I have downloaded a dozen or more apps in addition to the ones that came already loaded. What are my favorites?
1. Facebook--it's easy to "check in" with my friends and family, see what's going on and post updates if needed.
2. Words with Friends--a Scrabble-like games that can be played with someone else who has the app on their Android or iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. My younger son asked me to play the game with him. Now I am addicted. I have at least 6 people I am playing a game with. It's fun because you can play at your own leisure, then the turn passes to the other person.
3. Word Feud--similar to Words with Friends. My husband's Android phone can't get Words with Friends, so we play this game.
4. Poynt--a super app for finding restaurants, movies, gas stations, etc. Easy to use, and when out of town, invaluable. Info provided includes phone numbers, addresses, and can map it for you. If the restaurant takes reservations, you can do that from the app.
5. Kindle app--I own a Kindle (e-reader from Amazon), so I have the app on my phone and on my PC. I can read any of the books in my collection right from my phone, picking up where I left off. I love how the app syncs with the Kindle itself.
What are your favorite apps? Let me know. I am always searching for great apps!
