Pinterest finally released their official Android app this week, and
if you’re a pinner you’re probably in hog heaven right now. If you’re
not familiar with Pinterest it’s basically an app that lets you organize
and share anything & everything you find cool on the web. You can
use it to organize vacations, music videos, ideas or just cool swag.
You can show off your pinboards or browse others users boards to find
even more cool stuff. Basically once you get started you’ll probably
lose hours of your life to the Pinterest app just browsing through
pinboards and adding things to your own. You do have to have an account
to use the app, and I believe it’s still by invitation but you
generally get an invite within a week. The site and app are both free
though and a lot of fun to use.
Wrestling fans finally had a reason to rejoice this week as we
got our first solid wrestling Android App and it’s from the fine folks
of the WWE. The WWE App covers all things WWE past and present include
the stars of the WWF before the changeover. You can brose videos,
wrestlers, and events… and you can even buy WWE swag from the shop.
We’ve already discussed the app a bit in an article
,
but didn’t even mention a few of the other cool features like the
in-app access to WWE’s companion viewing experience which goes live
during each week’s broadcast of Monday Night Raw. It’s pretty safe to
say that if you’re a fan of the WWE or even an old-school WWF fan like
me you’ll want to grab this app. You can pick up the WWE app for free on
Google Play.
Dunkin’ Donuts decided to throw their hat into the app arena this
week as they released the official Dunkin’ Donuts app for Android. The
app lets you browse the food & drink menu, gives you some dietary
info, and most importantly let’s you pay for coffee from your Android
device once you’ve funded
your account. Not all locations will have the ability to
accept payments
via your phone yet, but it probably won’t take long for all Dunkin’
Donuts to get things going just like Starbucks did. You can get the
Dunkin’ Donuts app for free on Google Play.
Android Apps do a lot of different things, and some like Funny Mouth
from Digeebird are good for just one thing… a good laugh. Funny Mouth
is a “mouth simulation” app that lets you select a mouth to do the
talking for you. You just pick a mouth, hold the phone in front of
yours and blabber away while the app animates the funny mouth on the
screen. It’s a good app to break out with your friends, and you can get
it for free.
We covered this one earlier in the
week, and with good reason… it’s a great app and it keeps the kids busy!
Coloring Book Doodle is an app that does what it says, it lets your kids doodle and color on around 100 different coloring book
pages straight from your phone or tablet. They’ll be no more messy
crayons on the wall or table, and it’s guaranteed to keep the kids busy
for awhile.
WiFi Shoot is a handy new Android app that uses WiFi direct
technology to wirelessly send photos from one device to another. If you
take a lot of photos and are looking for an easy way to send them to
other devices this app is the one for you. You do have to have a device
that’s capable of WiFi direct and must be running ICS or Jelly Bean to
use the app. You can check out Budius Inc’s WiFi Shoot for free on
Google Play.
ButtonBeats Dubstep Balls is an Android app that lets you play with little shiny
ball bearing like things to
make beats,
and it’s quite a bit of fun. You simply need to press a ball/button to
start a beat, and can add as many others as you like to the mix or
stop ones that don’t fit in. It’s simple to use, and fun to fool around
with if you’re into Techno/Club music.
Talking Skeleton is another “talking app” that lets you voice your
opinion through a talking skeleton. It’s just like all the other
talking dog, cat, rabbit, alien, and elephant apps, but with a slick
looking skeleton who happens to enjoy the guitar. I’ve enjoyed fooling
around with this app, but there is a drawback as it boots up when you
start your phone. Not a deal breaker, but there’s no reason for the app
to do that so I had to drop it down on the list for that. If you’re
ready to play with some funny bones you can pick up Talking Skeleton or
Talking Skeleton HD on Google Play.
A little organization always makes life easier, and Trello is an
Android app that can help you out in that area. Trello lets you organize
everything from birthday parties to grocery lists, and you can even
invite people to check out your boards so you can work together on
things. It’s a very easy app to use, and best of all it’s free!
High Blood Pressure is a medical issue that affects millions of
people on a daily basis, and you don’t have to be elderly to have your
blood pressure go through the roof. Blood Pressure Diary is a blood
pressure
tracking app that lets
you keep tabs on your blood pressure in several different ways so you
can find out when you’re getting stressed and keep a record of your
stats day to day. It’s a very easy app to use, and a good one to have
on hand if you have High Blood pressure. You can pick up Fruct’s Blood
Pressure Diary for free on Google Play.
