Android Apps I Use and why (list 2 added and removed)

 Go HERE to see the first list( IT IS THE MORE UP-TO-DATE LIST.. SO..  just ignore this one)



Added Apps:

Words With Friends - Added this by 'popular' demand, and do very much enjoy playing it.  derk02 if your up for a game!

Ultra Voice Changer - This was a fun one I got to be able to have fun with the kids. There are tons of options to change your voice, and we have had fun with it.

Tango (video chat) - first of all, being that I do not have a front facing camera this app will probably not get much use, but it is pretty awesome. If enough others get it and use it I may do some mirror magic to utilize it properly.

Stumbleupon (web discovery) - If I knew what awesomeness it was to use stumbleupon on the net I would have had this app earlier!  Defiantly recommended to anyone that enjoys .... anything.

Snapbucket (picture tool) - From what I can tell, this is a fairly new app. I have had a Photobucket account for a very long time and with this app, they just got me loading pictures tonite again. Not only can you take pictures and upload them, but you can also do some pretty awesome editing through effects!

Shapes (kids game) - a simple 'game' that shows flash cards of shapes so that young ones can begin to learn them.

123s ABCs Handwriting - helps to teach kids 'proper' handwriting skills.

Qik video - this can do what tangle does, but I have not been able to successfully use that part of the app. The reason it is still on this list is that it can be used to create a live streamed video feed - automatically saving your vids for future viewing!

Pandora (since they added the comedy section) - I was staying away from this because I have audiogalaxy, but the addition of comedy changed my mind.

Goodreads (Book app/links to webversion) - I like to read and I like to keep well documents of what I have read, want to read, own, and so forth. I was using Living Social Books, but they do not have an app for the phone. Goodreads just came out with their app and that is how I found out about them. I think that their website in general beats the snot out of what I was getting with Living Social and I get pretty much full access to that in this app.  Oh! And I can auto post my book reviews to blogger, so look forward to that!

3G Watchdog - I have a data plan that is limited, NOT a bad limitation, but I DO NOT want to go over that limit and having 3G watchdog let me know at what percent I am at any time is greatly helpful!

Amazon App Store - With this I dub thee... sir downloads free apps and the day.  At&t did not allow a download that was not in the Android market for a while, but as soon as they allowed it I got this.  

Removed Apps:

Daily Bible - I decided that the Bible app was enough. No need for two. ( read First post for more understanding. )

Advanced Task Killer - I did some reading (and had some suspicions) finding that my Task killer was ... killing my battery, so I axed it, and actually feel like my phone HAS done better since!

Skype - Not enough of my contacts were using it (actively) for me to effectively use it (and have it just a running in the background draining by battery.

Woot watcher + added and removed, but I feel I should explain. I downloaded Woot Watcher knowing that Woot is a great 'deal finder' service, and it is! BUT, I could not stand getting updates on deals every five minutes (I did try changing settings, but it just would not work properly) The reason I feel this way is because I do not just have the money to buy because of a deal.  If I have the cash, I will just check Woot on my computer, and not have it draining my battery updating constantly :)

Vignette Demo - I am sure the paid version for this is great (and all the options on this are great too) BUT the file size is just too small for me to actually even use it... so gone.

Changes I did not expect with the Apps I am using:

Glow Puzzle - I downloaded this for myself for a challenge every once and a while, but Kyley has ended up playing it WAY more than me.  She loves it, and is very good at it!
