How to: Find the Missing Apps
Recently I had a conversation with a friend about factory resetting his device. He’s having trouble downloading the Android 4.1 update for his Samsung Galaxy S III, and one forum fix I found was to factory reset, then attempt the update. Factory reset usually cures these kinds of issues, among others, and it’s often a… Continue Reading

Android App Review: Smart Office 2
Every time someone speaks to me about Android, inevitably, the number 2 question (number 1 is always “is there a TrialPad app?”) is, “what’s the best app for Word documents?” Honestly, I wish someone would ask me about my favorite Android game, because then I could unequivocally tell them, Angry Birds Star Wars, or is it Mini Motor… Continue Reading
Looking at my Calendar . . . Best Calendar Apps in Google Play
Android Central has this great post on some of the best calendar apps in Google Play. I’m surprised that they left off Google Calendar (though they mention that sometimes “native” works fine), which is by far my favorite calendar app, even above the native Android calendar. If I had to pick an alternative app from AC’s… Continue Reading

Some Google Play Magazines Free with a Print Subscription
Since writing this post about converting to digital magazine formats for the office, I really haven’t thought much about the concept. I wasn’t fully committed to converting to digital for two reasons: I didn’t have a spare, check Android tablet, and I already subscribed to some magazines in print and was a bit disappointed about… Continue Reading
Android App Review: Is Bitcasa Better than Dropbox?
Bitcasa, a newcomer to the cloud storage game, is offering free, unlimited cloud storage. Don’t get too excited about the unlimited free program though, because it’s short-lived. Soon you’ll have to fork out $10 per month. I love the sound of infinite. I’ve played around with the Android app and desktop connection for a couple of days… Continue Reading
App Review: Polaris Office via iPhone J.D.
iPhone J.D., Jeff Richardson, posted this great review of the app, Polaris Office (free). I have this app pre-installed on my ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity, used it a little, and would agree with Jeff’s assessment of the app. The app’s interface is slightly different on Android, but functions like the iOS app. However, I prefer… Continue Reading
