I've been trying the HTC Droid Incredible through the Verizon Ambassador Program for the past two months and I'm thinking it may difficult for me to give it up when the program ends. Before I even downloaded one app, my loyalty to my personal phone had waned. It could have been the mobile hotspot that saved the day while I was at a conference for work and lost network connectivity. That, alone, has been my go-to feature on the phone since.
And there are others. My routine is that a need will arise ... I proceed to the Google Play and problem solved.
HopStop
When I went to York for Fashion Week, I was constantly searching for directions from points between East Orange and spots around NYC. HopStop gave me perfect door-to-door transit, walking and taxi directions. And the best part was the estimated travel time and cost. I'll be using it from here on.
TED Talks
This app is so necessary that I'm not sure what I did before it. TED Talks offers access to 1100 + TED talks — by category, "New" and "Popular" — with offline viewing. It's perfect for waiting in line at the DMV {Yes, I used it for this} and even driving in the car because it allows you to listen without viewing.
PicShop Lite
I edit the lighting or crop almost every picture I take on my camera phone. Blame it on my Blogtog series, but after spending a lot of time with photographers who have told me that even camera phones can deliver a good shot, I'm all in. PicShop Lite has options to edit red eyes, contrast, hue, add filters and frames.
Evernote
Who doesn't love Evernote? I'm constantly pulling my phone out to record something on the radio or make a voice memo. I'm sure I don't use it to its full capacity, but even for the little bit I'm doing — I use it every day.
Netflix
I have come to the conclusion that a movie app, namely Netflix, needs to be on every mobile and tablet device I use. {I use four. smh} I'm documentary and Thriller obsessed. Enough said.
What are some of your go-to apps? I always need suggestions for productivity tools.
