Phone Calls?

Nick Steele Leave a comment

Wait, you’re telling me that I just talk into this end and I can hear what my mom says on the other end of the phone? Is that new in iOS 6? Believe it or not we don’t really use our phones as phones anymore. We all knew this but they finally did a survey to show how much we use our phones for different things. Using it as a phone actually came in 5th place! And you’re saying to yourself “well yeah of course, everyone texts now” NOPE! Texting actually came in 7th place. So what are you ACTUALLY using your phone for? Find out after the jump!

App Of The Day 6/29

Nick Steele Leave a comment

It’s been a while since I have done an App of the Day but I am really impressed with this one and thought I would share! If you haven’t already downloaded Google Chrome on your iPhone yet then I highly recommend it. Especially if you use chrome as your main browser. If you don’t know, you can log into Google Chrome on your desktop and then use that to log into any chrome on any computer and your bookmarks will appear on top. It’s the same with the app, I logged in and BAM all my favorites were right there! I didn’t have to revisit and save them as a bookmark. So I tapped a couple just to compare the speed to Safari and Opera and it’s just as quick if not faster. Plus the layout is easy to use and well thought out. I had no trouble using it right away, like I had been using it the whole time. So if you are looking for a good browser on your iPhone and don’t know who to trust. You can trust me. I was skeptical and heard that it was slower than Safari but when I use it it works way better! And to top it all off, It’s FREE!

It’s apps like this one that make it worth paying for a smart phone. It’s called KEY RING and we have all been at our favorite store and forgot our little rewards card to get that extra discount on things. Well you can keep them all on your phone now! With this app you simply scan the card and tell it what it is. When you need it, you pull it up on the app and *BEEP* rewards recieved. Available for iPhone, Android and Blackberry.

If you don’t like the camera app that came with your phone then you should definitely give this one a try! It’s called CAMERA AWESOME and it has all the features your stock app does with so many more! Like one-touch facebook and twitter sharing. Also you can edit it with filters and frames and do what the app calls “Awesomize” it. As you can see in the pic above, it makes a difference! It’s free for the iPhone so go get it!

Today’s Free App of the Day is “Draw Something” If you haven’t downloaded it by now then you should jump on this bandwagon. It soared to the top of the most popular lists on both Android and Apple. It’s basically Pictionary. You have to draw something and send it to a friend, then they have to guess what it is you’re drawing. Sounds easy right? Well it’s tough doing it with your finger! The format is a lot like words with friends, where you can put your word down and the other person can take their time putting the next word down. Give it a try! It’s Free!!

Today’s free app is simply called REMOTE and it’s one of my favorites. I am a lazy person, and I will sit in my bed all weekend without feeling guilty about it. Occasionally I will want to hear some music instead of watching TV so I reach over and grab my iPhone. Through Wi-Fi i can control my itunes on my desktop. You can raise and lower the volume, see your entire music library and choose which songs you want to hear. It’s the ultimate LAZY app. If you have Apple TV you can control that as well. Right now, it’s only on iPhone.

I really like this app! It’s called WALLIT and when ever you go somewhere they create these “walls” and you can see what other people have posted while they were at the same place you are. You can leave your mark on the places you visit! For example, you go to watch UD play and there is a wall for Wallit users that you can post about what you’re seeing “oh he scored!” Each place only has ONE wall so it doesn’t get all confusing. Read more about what this app can do (and it’s alot) after the jump!

App Of The Day 3/2

At first I thought this app was not going to be able to live up to it’s description, then I tried it this morning while I was walking to work and by golly, it’s actually REALLY cool! It’s called SNACKR. If you are too busy to read a bunch of stories in the morning while you’re driving to work, or getting ready this app is perfect! What it does is it reads you brief summaries of top stories from a bunch of different magazines and websites. A seemingly kind British gentleman is the computer voice that updates you on your daily news. There is a “5-Minute Snack” that gives a quick rundown of the top stories, or you can customize which articles in reads to you. You just click once and he keeps reading! I use bluetooth and it makes it really easy to do what ever I’m doing and listen to the latest news. Only for the iPhone right now, and it’s definitely worth a download!
