Top 10 android apps for Phones

[linkinpark]

I am still using free Avast to locate my phone. It needs a web interface thought, but I hear it is coming.

Same here, waiting for that web portal. I hope they dont start charging for it though

I heard about AndroidLost on 5fm.

Has a web interface and the usual functionality. Alarm, send messages to the phone, access cameras, microphones, gps location, phone wipe etc.

Already used the alarm a couple times, also, you log into the web interface using your Google credentials so no registration required.

AndroidTapp gave Cerberus a good rating:

What I like about Avast it that it has: Anti-virus, Anti-theft, Firewall and call filter all in one.

I've used androidlost, the web interface is absolutely terrible. And when i tried it, it didnt work on ICS.

I've used the web interface. It's standard. But then again the only thing that was missing from the app.

I was using the beta apk from the forum

Edit. Wrong info

Try Flipboard, very cool app with many sources for news and a cool way of "flipping" though the pages.

Flipboard is overrated on iOS and Android. Too flashy by half. Same with Pulse. I stick with good old Google Reader. But that's purely imo.

Is there a better Google Reader app for Android btw?

 

[Ptashark]

Reader works well enough for me thanks.

not sure, I'm using google currents.

I like Pulse, Flipboard looks nice but I don't like the way it works.

+1 to Pulse.

+1 to currents. It's just a bit of a memory/cpu hog if your device is on the light side.

 

[ghost311]

Currents - its awesome
Data Counter
IMDb
Photoshop Express
GoLauncher

My favourite app:

Shush - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.publicobject.shush&hl=en

When you turn your ringer off for a movie, this app turns it back on afterwards.
It's activated when you silence your ringer using the volume buttons. You don't need to remember a special app! Once your ringer is off, it asks you how long to stay silent. Never miss another important call.

My apps in no particular order:
Onavo Count (data counter)
NavFree (free offline navigation)
Garmin mechanic (gps mileage log/OBDII/fuel saver/speedometer/0-100/...)
Tango (combines voIP, video calls and IM into one app)

Games:
Absolute RC plane sim, for those who fly rc planes.
World of Goo. fun and addictive

Absolute RC plane sim, for those who fly rc planes

Thanks for this. As soon as I saw it I wondered if the was one for helis, and sure enough - there is

Bought the full version for R40 odd. Not many models, but the TRex 450 is taking care of my addiction. Would have preferred a Compass Knight 600E or Compass Atom 500 - or even a TRex 500/600. Considering I had no clue there where sims on my phone I am happy with what is provided

I actually use the rc heli sim to practice co-ordination. I want to buy a Trex 450... But need LOTS of practice! I bought the planes as well but it doesn't offer anything more than the std plane(and grounds), so just stick with that, unless you are bored... And physics not to bad either, I can get the plane into a flat spin and recover normally, not bad for a phone app.

By far my favorite apps

I have a 450 that I am not flying anymore. You can take it off my hands cheap if you want. Make some kind of reasonable offer and it's yours Just no radio though. Need to keep the radio for my other helis (Compass Atom 500 and Compass Knight 600E).

I used to be the distributor of Compass Model helis in SA. I still have a few kits that I have not bothered to move. Selling them pretty cheap - about half the price of the retail shops. Give me a shout if you interested. I keep meaning to drop them off at Airborne Passion in Bedfordview so he can sell them for me - but lazy

BTW: Compass Model helis are quite an upgrade on Align helis. Awesome kits.

Drop me an PM if you are keen. I am in Harmelia, Edenvale BTW.
