Square Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) The other day, I upgraded to a Sprint Epic 4G touch (the Galaxy II) and I have to say it's pretty awesome so far. The screen is amazing, the phone is quick and responsive, and I've enjoyed my brief time with Android so far. Anyway, on to apps. What are you rocking? I stole list from I like soup and posted below his suggestions.

whomper Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 my nephew was telling me about a bump app where if you have it and bump your device with another device you get the apps from the device you bumped with. Not sure how accurate that is. Words with friends is great. Just loaded it this morning and am in a fierce battle with Tbone 65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like FlyCast, because they have WFAN among the many radio stations available for streaming. And my bank has an app so I can do all my online bill pay and such on my phone, pretty sweet. Oh, and DirecTV, really cool to be able to set the DVR when I'm not home. Also eBay, Amazon and Newegg have good apps for your online shopping needs.

The Irish Doggy Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 My favorite games so far in no particular order: Myth Defense LF Robo Defense Tower Raiders 2 Tower Raiders Gold Chess Free Cribbage Free Slimeball Speedway Abduction! Euchre Free Pacific Wings And just started Battleheart this week. Lots of fun so far. Sort of a hack n' slash fantasy RPG on a phone.

The Irish Doggy Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Got my Droid 3 batter charging up and will activate today. I may be getting a new phone in the next month or two. What made you go for the X3 vs. the other selections? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delusions of grandeur Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 my nephew was telling me about a bump app where if you have it and bump your device with another device you get the apps from the device you bumped with. Not sure how accurate that is. Words with friends is great. Just loaded it this morning and am in a fierce battle with Tbone 65 You can also use the bump program to exchange contactinfo with just a bump and I think media too. Works good. These are the ones I'm really digging right now: Tune In Radio - can listen to my local sports talk guys even when I'm out of town BeyondPod - Podcast player, and can subscribe directly from the app. Rich Eisen and Adam Carolla shows are TinyShark - App for Grooveshark to look up and play nearly any song by title. MFL Fantasy Football 2011 - Chris Stewart is the man. Must have for multiple MFL leagues. JogTracker - track your mileage and see your route on a google map Weatherbug Elite - Local radar map widget for a homescreen Places - probably one of the most underrated standard apps. Can choose or create from categories and see/navigate to the nearest destinations with reviews. GTasks - Still a huge fan of this To-Do widget that you can set up to remind you with emails or alerts.

My old phone was from the previous century so I don't have a lot of knowledge or preference on what I really wanted to upgrade to. Also, I'm somewhat limited to what phones I can pick and not have to pay for as part of our corporate plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
