A Few (New) Good Android Apps

I have some new apps for my Android that I am totally obsessed with … and I thought I’d share. If you have any recommendations, please let me know! There are so many out there it’s hard to find the really good ones.

My buddy Mikey found this great app called “Our Groceries” which allows multiple people to share grocery lists, or really any kind of list. You just have an account linked to an email address and it syncs in real-time with all users. SUPER COOL. We are actually going to our phones to add things to the running list instead of the pad on the fridge.

Another one I’m loving is DropBox. I’ve known about DropBox for a while … basically it’s a cloud drive. You get 2GB of storage in the cloud for free and can pay for more. Then you can download a DropBox app on any computer or now your phone and your files are all there. This is super useful for tons of things. I print our plane tix to PDF and access them on my phone. Budgets I edit at both home and work and access on my phone.

My friend, Nan, sent me a cute thankyou card (in the mail!) straight from her iphone. So I wanted to know if such-a-thing was possible from my Android. I wasn’t disappointed!! Postagram allows you to send real postcards from the photos on your phone, including, it seems to ones I’ve linked from Flickr. This would be great for vacation, since you could send your own vacation photos! $.99/card. I haven’t used it yet, but it shows great promise.

HIIT, high-intensity training, deserves a mention. You can set up intervals for workout, including warmup and cooldown and it keeps track of them for you with little “work!” and “rest!” reminders and still lets your music play on.

Last but not least, I must give a mention to Overdrive Media Console. This is an app that syncs up with your local library and accesses their collection of digital media: audio books, e-books and even e-children’s books. Instant, FREE access to digital content. I swoon.
