Day Nine. App Nine. Alarm Clock.

Today’s app is one that we use almost every single day…except those glorious days when we can sleep in. Yep, you guessed it; it’s an alarm clock. Our alarm clock of choice is the aptly named app, Alarm Clock by iHandySoft.  We like the app because it’s easy to use and it works; we set the … Continue reading →

Best news aggregator on the iPhone and iPad?

So, how do you get your news?  I want an easy (and pretty, and fun-to-use) way to read blogs and current news on my iPhone and iPad.  Seems simple enough, but the problem I have is more than one app does this. My favorites are Pulse, Flipboard, and Zite.  Pulse and Flipboard are both universal … Continue reading →

Day Seven. App Seven. Pandora.

Pandora.  If you don’t know about Pandora Radio, where have you been?  It’s simple, it’s sweet, it’s music you love.  All you do is type in the name of the song or artist that you feel like hearing and Pandora will create your own little radio station of music like that.  It’s a great way … Continue reading →

Day Six. App Six. ePrint.

Are you one of those people who was all excited about the fact that you could wirelessly print from your phone or your tablet?  We know, we know… you thought “I will be so much more efficient because I can vacuum/change the oil in the car/take a shower while simultaneously downloading and printing my report/knitting pattern/Christmas … Continue reading →

Day Five. App Five. Lose It.

It seems to us that you’ve been spending a lot of time sitting around on your computer lately.  You need a little motivation to get off your tush and “move it move it.”  That’s what we’re here for (not really, but if you need a personal coach, we can try to be that for you … Continue reading →

Day Four. App Four. Postagram/SincerelyInk.

What will it be today?  You already maximized your brain power,  identified the song you were mindlessly humming, and painlessly organized your christmas list (in the process realizing that in fact you do have three gifts for your sister and nothing for your father-in-law…good thing you got organized and realized that early!).  So, what other … Continue reading →

Day Two. App Two. SoundHound.

Let’s go for a fun one today.  Day Two app is SoundHound.  As far as we can tell, SoundHound has no real value other than it’s just amazing.  It doesn’t make our life more productive, it doesn’t make us money, it doesn’t make us better people, but we love it. SoundHound is one of our … Continue reading →
