| Switchr Brings Swift, Responsive Task Switching to Android Posted: 25 Oct 2013 11:30 AM PDT  Android has had multitasking built into it right from the start. But to really benefit from multitasking, you need a quick and simple way to switch between apps. In Windows, this is Alt-Tab; Android has its own native mechanism for that in the form of the native “recent apps” screen accessible via a single tap on most devices. While informative and fully featured, that screen leaves something to be desired in the efficiency department: Interacting with it takes multiple taps and swipes. Switchr is a new app from developer Mohammad Adib, aiming to offer a fast and simple way to... Read the full article: Switchr Brings Swift, Responsive Task Switching to Android |

| Simple Notes On The Go: Google Keep For Android Reviewed Posted: 25 Oct 2013 10:30 AM PDT  There are some amazing note-taking apps out there, some of which we have compared, but here’s one that merits a closer look: Google Keep, a note-keeper which has a great-looking Android app and a slick webapp, and keeps both in sync effortlessly. In the months that I’ve been using it, I’ve really grown to love it. It may not have all the extensive features of Evernote, but it’s simple, gorgeous, and gets the job done. Plus, more competition for Evernote can only be a good thing; not long after Google Keep was launched, Evernote updated their app with a host of...

| OsmAnd: Offline Maps & Navigation With OpenStreetMap Data Posted: 25 Oct 2013 09:00 AM PDT  OsmAnd is an offline map and navigation app that is fed with high quality data from OpenStreetMap (OSM). The acronym stands for OSM Automated Navigation Directions. OSM, the source of the offline maps, is a free wiki world map. The free version of OsmAnd includes 10 map downloads, which is plenty if you are going on a one or two-week road trip. The full version, OsmAnd+, offers unlimited downloads and costs $8. You should consider OsmAnd if you need reliable offline navigation, something Google Maps still doesn’t offer (despite letting you make up to six maps available offline). Download Maps For Offline Use Generally, the... Read the full article: OsmAnd: Offline Maps & Navigation With OpenStreetMap Data |
| 4 Services That Let You Schedule Google+ Posts Posted: 25 Oct 2013 08:30 AM PDT  Need to schedule posts on Google+? Google is not going to make it easy for you. Google+ doesn’t let you schedule posts as Twitter and Facebook do. For a long time, Google didn’t provide an API that allowed third-party apps to post to Google+ at all. Google now does provide an API that enables third-party apps to post to Google+, but only to Google+ pages. If you want to schedule posts to your personal Google+ stream, you’ll have to rely on an unofficial solution. There’s no built-in way to schedule posts on Google+, even for Pages, so we’re left with... Read the full article: 4 Services That Let You Schedule Google+ Posts |

| ProCamera 7 for iPhone Upgrade Is Like Buying A New Camera Posted: 25 Oct 2013 07:00 AM PDT  Recently, Cocologics released an iOS 7 upgrade to its ProCamera app for the iPhone. But unlike with most iOS upgrades, the new version is not free. If you find that unfair, that may be because you haven’t tried it yet. There’s much to like about the almost completely new ProCamera 7, and if you’re an avid iPhone camera user, this upgrade is well worth $0.99. I reviewed the previous version of ProCamera back in April, and listed it as one my top ten favorites apps for 2012. Even though Apple has slowly added more useful features to its default camera app,... Read the full article: ProCamera 7 for iPhone Upgrade Is Like Buying A New Camera |
