What 3 Apps Can You Not Live Without?
It’s been three months since moving to the world of Android, and I have not once felt the pangs of separation from the Berry. In fact, now that I have a high functioning phone that doesn’t require a battery pull twice a day I have found that I am reliant on downloading and installing apps. Its been great exploring the Market place for the latest & greatest additions and finding use for them in my every day life.
Since the first day of being a Droid owner I have found that only 3 apps have survived my whims of downloading and deleting. I can not go one day without using these, and they are my essential picks.
- Aldiko – By far the most used app on my Droid. Aldiko is an easy to use eBook reader that is completely FREE. It imports eBooks in the ePub format, and also has a repository of free downloads of classic novels and stories that are in public domain. It also has two modes for Day Time and Night Time reading, allowing you to modify the brightness for your needs. It is AWESOME.
- Gameboid – My favorite game platform as a kid was the Gameboy and Gameboy Advance. Pokemon, Zelda, Final Fantasy, all are games that I was and still am obsessed with and Gameboid easily allows me to go back and play these games on that gorgeous screen of my Droid while listening to my MP3s or Pandora. Plus, the physical keyboard makes playing games that much easier. If you have a collection of ROMs, Gameboid is for you. I use the free version and have not once found myself wishing to spend $4 on the premium app, so save your money.
- Evernote – This was a must have on my Berry, my desktop, my laptop, basically any computer or device I own has some version of Evernote installed. The effortless note syncing makes my life that much easier. If you like Evernote make sure you get the app for your respective mobile device.

I own a Palm Pre and my three essential apps are:
Tweed – twitter client to keep me up to date with what everyone is doing.
Evernote – As Kevin said this app is a must have for me. Whether I’m updating a grocery list or checking over some quick notes for a class, it’s always there for me.
Yelp – Great for when I’m out and about late at night with some friends and we want to get a quick bite to eat or check out another bar. With Palm’s excellent GPS, it’s super easy to find somewhere nearby.
Awww the quintessential twitter apps! How could I have forgot? I guess my issue is I have bounced all over the place from paid twitter apps, to free ones and not really set my heart on one for a long enough period of time to feel like I need one.
Good call on Yelp, I should check there version out on my droid.
Still rockin in Winmo world for now. But top 3 apps that I use all the time:
Skyfire-Web browser is faster and friendlier than ie mobile. It also renders full desktop pages and RUNS FULL FLASH for video!!
MoTweets- Twitter. What can I say
Ms Office-I use it the most but it was included with the phone? Count? No? Then SPB’s mobile shell 3. It makes windows mobile about a million more times use able.
