Here at Android Headlines we know that apps are important – without apps they’d be little point in owning a smartphone besides making calls and sending messages but, I think we’re all a little past that now aren’t we? We try our best to bring you content on the best apps and games around, every week our own Justin Diaz takes a look at featured game and we’ve started to bring you the best of games for the previous month. Now, we’re going to start doing the same with apps. From now on every month we’ll be bringing you the best new apps and games each month. Enjoy!
Nobody like ads except maybe those in the business but, even then I doubt they want bad ads. These are the types of ads that you certainly didn’t sign up for and you certainly don’t want. The sort of stuff that gets in through the backdoor and spams your notification tray. It’s not fun, not nice and down right plain intrusive. The folks from Norton have put together a simple app to get rid of these pesks – it’s free and has a nice, clean interface. Easy to use and easy to get results. Brilliant, right?
We’ve all heard of GroupOn, right? Of course we have but, at times, it can get a little messy and I’m sure a lot of you out there miss their old coupons. RetailMeNot hopes to bridge the gap a little by providing a digital copy of something we’re used to seeing as physical. You’ll get the same experience as you did with old coupons but there’s no hassles and you’ll less likely to forget your phone than you are slips of paper, right? There’s are thousands of stores here with a good number of big brands – with even more stores added daily. It’s free, with no sign-up so why not get started?
Smartphones and tablets these days feature some pretty powerful cameras and in some cases the only device you have to take decent video. Videos can be important to you, especially if you’re recording your child’s first everything. These videos aren’t something we’d neccesarily like to share and if you have friends or colleagues that are particularly nosy or you just want to keep your videos away from prying eyes then this is the app for you. Not only does it keep away behind a passcode but it also incroporates 128-bit encryption, making it harder and harder for those to get into you vids, there’s also a Pro version available, too.
Another thing we’re most likely to use our smartphones for is as an alarm clock, I know I’d be in trouble in my smartphone wasn’t a reliable alarm clock. This here, from Azumio however, is a different take on the thing we love to hate – waking up in the morning. The idea is pretty simple and has been done a few times before you set the app up and leave your phone on your pillow when you go to sleep. The app will then notice you stirring come morning time and pick the perfect time within a 30 minute window – in which to wake you up. Featuring good Holo theming – check our Top Ten Holo apps list – and an easy to follow set up, this is one for those of you that have trouble waking up.
The more and more we start to use our phones the more and more we want to get away from them. I know that for me, sitting at my keyboard all day long makes picking up my phone every five minutes to reply to a text is really quite annoying. DeskSMS solves this problem by letting you text from Gmail/Chrome Extensions and more. Now, you can text from your Tablet – from the same number everyone knows you by. Genius, right? If you’re the type to use that Nexus 7 more than your phone these days this will help you keep your friends just that little bit longer.
