My 5 Favorite Android Apps

Posted on 23. Oct, 2010 by frank in fun stuff

I made the switch to my Android phone almost 6 months ago and I love it.  I had been using a Blackberry for a couple of years and it was great with email functionality but with the latest improvements Google has made, I’m hooked.  We recently switched our church email hosting to Google and it has been a seamless transition, and having a Google phone makes things even easier.

Here is a list of some of my favorite Android apps:

1. Pandora (free)

If you don’t use Pandora yet, you should start.  It is a great way to discover new music and listen to music you love for free.  The more you rate the songs you like or dislike the better it gets at reccomending new music for you to listen to.  With this Android app you can take Pandora with you in the car or the gym.  I even use it while mowing the lawn.

2. NFL Mobile (free with Verizon)

This app lets you track your favorite teams and players on the go and give you a live video feed from the NFL Network.  Plus if there is a game you want to keep tabs on and you cant get to a TV you can get keep track of the game right from you phone.  If you are a fan, this app is a must have.

3. KeePassDroid (free)

Do you have trouble remembering passwords?  How about usernames? When creating online accounts for paying bills or using online banking, or even goofing around with social media they all require usernames and passwords.  On top of that they all have different standards for creating passwords.  For me, that makes it a little challenging when trying to keep all my passwords organized and that’s where KeePassDroid comes in.   This free nifty tool keeps them safe, secure and organized.  If you keep your phone with you, the passwords are with you.

4. Google Voice (free)

Don’t confuse this with the voice activated search on your phone, Google Voice is a new phone number assigned to you by Google.  A phone number that saves you, your friends and family time and frustration.  People don’t have to make a decision to call you at home, work, or on your  mobile… no, they call one number and you decide where that number rings. Here is a video that explains how the app works

5. You Verson Bible (free)

You version is actually available on most mobile platforms.  So even if you don’t have an Android phone you probably can pick up this app.  I use this app quite a bit since it is so easy to navigate the bible and also it helps me manage my reading plan.

Those are some of my favorites, what are your favorite apps?
