App Lover

The blogging world has endless amounts and varieties of "personalities." Some days on my day off all I do is hop from one blog to another. My list is getting longer every month and at times it takes me hours to catch up with everybody's current post. This is where my smart phone comes in handy.

 The android market has endless amounts of apps available to help make our lives easier and a lot more convenient. I remember the first week I got my new smart phone I was downloading games left and right. Now I think I have more apps than phone numbers floating around. Being that I love reading blogs everyday Pulse has become my absolute favorite app of all time.It comes in handy when I’m waiting in line or waiting for an oil change. I can just catch up on my daily reads without having to wait until I get home to boost up my laptop. The only downside-you can't leave comments. But that's no biggie.

Here are my other top favorite apps that I use on a daily basis- 

1. Screen Filter- This has helped preserve my battery life by a lot!  This screen filter dimes the background lighting to your liking (I have mine at 78%) therefore extending the battery life.
2. Open Advanced Task Killer- This was a step 2 on helping my battery last longer as well. I didn’t know that certain programs or games stayed active even if you closed it out. With this I can “kill” the running apps and make sure they close for good until I reopen it again.
3. Kakao Talk- If you have friends and family in other countries like I do, this will really come in handy. Unlike standard text messages where you can only text within certain areas/within the US, I can text people in other countries for free. Just make sure both parties have the app and you’re good to go. Plus, the emoticons are so cute.
4. Facebook- Of course this should be self explanatory
5. My Days- This is my portable menstrual tracking calendar. Really handy next time you go to the doctor and they ask when’s your last cycle date.
6. Words with Friends- Remember the game Scrabble? Well, now you can play it all day long with your friends. I’m so addicted to this! I have like 12 games going on.
7. SushiBar- I dream and breath sushi so it only be appropriate for me to get a game about it too. Here you play as the sushi chef and quickly prepare food orders in a certain amount of time. Can you master the pressure?
8. Appreciate- This app helps you find other apps that other people find interesting, fun, or useful. This is how I came across a lot of mine as well.
9. Diversion- A cute little 2-d world were you play as a character collecting gems and costumes. Good enough to keep me busy in a boring doctor’s office.
10. Weatherbug- Yes, I like to check the weather everyday.
