Google Places is a great way to find something near you and it’s also super-easy to find how tot get there using Google Maps. Naturally, keeping things up-to-date is important for businesses. Which is exactly where this app comes in. This is a great app for those running a store or something like that, it allows you to quickly edit your listing on the go and you can do so for more than one location. It even lets you post to Google+ showing off promotional offers and such. Clearly, this is only going to be of much to business owners but, at least Google has thought of them for once.
While opinion is still pretty divided when it comes to Windows 8, even with 8.1 now available it seems odd that Microsoft has taken this long to release such an app for Android users. Regardless, the app is now here and ready for Android users all over the world to take advantage of. We took a quick look at the app and found that it wasn’t too bad, it works relatively well and gets you into your computer away from your desk – which is exactly what it says it does. Definitely a decent app to have installed if you ever find yourself wishing you uploaded that file to your Drive.
Despite its name, Waterbot isn’t an app that controls a robot in your house to water your plans for you. Instead, it cleverly reminds you when your plants need watering again. Which is great for those of you that have a number of plants that need taking care of, it also helps keeping track of different type of plants, too. With a slick interface and support for every version of Android imaginable, Waterbot is an easy app to use to make sure you don’t kill another plant on your watch.
AOL bought Patch many a moon ago and they’re finally doing something with it. Bringing hyper-local news to Android devices everywhere. You can imagine this is the digital version of the local newspaper you never read or buy. It’s a neat idea and one that works relatively well. Of course, that is if you live in a “Patch town” if not, then you’re out of luck, which is annoying.
The new Sony Smartwatch 2 is now available to buy but, it doesn’t matter if you have an older generation watch either, as this works just fine. In essence, this takes all of the hassle out of getting notifications onto your smartwatch and lets you send across all of your notifications. The app is easy to set up and works with pretty much any phone. Just like the Sony Smartwatch 2 itself, making the watch and this app far more accessible than the Galaxy Gear offering from Samsung.
