5 Floating Apps Which Make Multitasking On Android Even More Impressive
October 2, 2012 By 7 Comments
There are times when I’m using an Android tablet that I wish I was able to use more desktop oriented features on the device – specifically when using a 10″ tablet. Many applications don’t take full advantage of larger screens and leave us feeling a little shafted when it comes to viewing a single pane of content on such a large screen; thankfully, a few developers have created a collection of extremely useful floating applications to cover all of your multitasking needs.

Indie Apps of the Week – Bend The Laser
August 16, 2012 By Leave a Comment
We’re nearing week two of our Indie Apps program and have not come close to running out of great entries: today we have a fun game that requires a bit of thinking without making you pull your hair out. The point of the game is to aim the laser towards the target using only the pieces provided to you. Limited with what you can work with, it becomes a bit of a time-killer if you want something quick to do while waiting in line or sitting around the house. Bend the Laser by developer Sean Mongey brings countless hours of procedurally generated levels and crisp graphics to keep you entertained on the go. [Read more...]
Indie Apps of the Week – Just-In-Case (An Adventurer’s Best Friend)
August 9, 2012 By Leave a Comment
If you’re one of those people who does a lot of outdoor activities, or you know someone who does, this is a great app for all to have. Just-In-Case is a simple application which connects to the web interface of just-in-case.info/ to allow you to send an emergency email to someone who would be willing to help in the event of an accident.
If you’ve seen the movie 127 Hours, or heard of the incident before-hand, then I’m sure you are aware of just how dangerous traveling and doing dangerous activities alone can be. While we try our best to contact friends or loved ones beforehand, sometimes it doesn’t always go through and it’s always nice to have a backup alert with some additional information for them. Just-In-Case is an application which hopes to ensure that you always have some additional information for others when you leave: even if you go somewhere without service.
The application is essentially a mobile version of the website with the sole purpose of helping save lives. The website prompts you for a few pieces of information including an email address, subject, among a few other details. These can be filled out with information where you currently are, will be, or something similar. If you do not check in to disable the message ahead of time the message will send the information to the email address provided. The website and app allow you to set upto 10 messages at a time, which can be great if you’re going to be hitting a series of checkpoints and would like to alert whomever if you miss deadlines and did not disable the notification.
Best of all, the service, and application, are completely free and available on the Google Play Store. If you frequently go outdoors this is a great app to help keep you or your friend safe: be sure to mention this to anyone who could benefit.

Transparent Screen App: Walk, chew gum, AND update your status without harm
February 9, 2012 By Leave a Comment
We’ve all been there- so wrapped up in whatever is happening on our smartphones (Facebook, Twitter, texting) that we have absolutely no attention to give to anything else. Occasionally, this can lead to disaster. To put it simply, that small screen in front of your face can make you oblivious to what’s really right in front of you, and that can get dangerous.
