Author Topic: Smartphone App Recommendations? (Read 15595 times)

I just got my first smartphone (used) and have been playing around with it. It's an LG Optimus with Android. I did a factory reset and rooted it. If I had known how cool these things are I would have gotten one a long time ago. It's like an electronic toolbox. I downloaded a ruler app measures objects placed on the screen. And I downloaded Camscanner, which will come in handy scanning docuмents. And GrooveIP for free calls. I think the one I like best is called Shazam. You point the smartphone at some music and it will detect the song and give you information about it. It detects some pretty obscure stuff.

What apps do you all use?

I haven't got a smartphone (see posts elsewhre), but what you have does sound interesting. Maybe someone out there can write a cathinfo.com app?

ShopSavvy Barcode Scanner-
I almost buy nothing, especially bigger purchases, without using this. You scan any barcode of any product you want to buy, and it will give you online, and local prices. Lets say I'm shopping for a radio, and I'm at Wally World. I scan the barcode of the radio I'm looking to buy, and it will tell me how much I can get it on Amazon, other websites and local stores (Target, K-Mart, etc).

Also, get a better messaging program, if you text your family/ friends
The best I've found is Handscent SMS
