Gail Eddy, Nederland.  There are some great applications out there for your smartphone – and a lot of them are free to download and us.  No matter who your carrier is, or which phone you have, you can find apps that appeal to your interests.  Here are some that I use, or that have been recommended to me.  I’ve also included the links so you can add them to your smartphone!

Any.Do – Organizing your life

Cocktail Flow – because not everyone still has a copy of Mr. Boston De Luxe Official Bartender’s Guide in their liquor cabinet!

Dropbox – connect all of your devices (laptop, tablet, phone) and access all of your files in one place!  (Did you remember to backup your data today?  Dropbox does it for you.)

FxGuru – add special effects to your boring home video

Google Translate – This app translates text, symbols, and speech!

IMDb – Best place to find out what your favorite actor/director/producer is working on this year.

NASA – lots of archives, links, pictures, and video.

Peppa’s Paintbox – because you’re still a kid at heart.

Shazam – you’re listening to a tune, but can’t remember the title?  Shazam it!

SwiftKey Keyboard – “super-accurate autocorrect and intelligent next-word prediction”.  I’d like some of that!

Twickets – lets you buy and sell extra tickets at (or below) face value.  Scalpers go elsewhere!

Weather Underground – one of the best weather apps out there.

These apps will all work for either your iPhone or your Android SmartPhone.  For all of the links, head over to http://geekforhireincblog.com
