Favorite and most useful Apps

[yellow]

Hands down my favorite app is Brewery Map

But I also frequent dictionary.com for the English and Spanish words of the day, Groupon, Google Earth, and Huffington Post. I agree with the lame-weather-apps assessment. I have several that I consult but I don't love any of them.

I used Google Earth while watching Lawrence of Arabia, to get a sense of where they were and where they were trying to go. It was fun, and useful to learn about an area of the world that I've never been to.

I use many of the ones already named, so I'll just add slightly to the list:

Shush: designates a time to unsilence your phone automatically. For example if you go to a movie, you silence for 3 hours or whatever and not miss calls/texts due to a silenced phone.

Latitude: lets you add friends and track their location. My husband and I use this constantly and especially like it when one of us is alone on a long ride - I like that he would know where to find me if something went wrong!

Poynt and Poynt Inside - nice for finding things. The latter helps you find specific things in malls, airports, etc.

Gesture search is kinda cool - just write what you're looking for and find it in your phone. I use it to find contacts.

oh, and Dolphin Browser is a way better browser than the stock browser, at least on android.
