Favourite Apps

Post by Paul Jones »

As someone quite new to using an Android tablet I'm just finding my way around using Apps.

I've replaced the standard photo gallery with Quickpic.

Do you have any favourite Apps? They can be photography related, or just ones that you use a lot. Even games, music, entertainment, etc. What Apps can you not live without?

Thanks
Paul

I don't really have any essential apps, but I use shazam to find any song I don't know, sketch camera for a bit of fun and shop savvy to find if a bargain really is a bargain.

My favourite App is DSLR Dashboard. A free app that allows me to connect and control my camera from my tablet. It means I can now drop my camera low on the tripod etc and have a really good view of what I am taking. No excuse now.....!

PS Express ... I think it's been on since iPhone apps were a lad
and a flashlight one that young Jared recommended, not only can you photograph light trails with it
but you can also find your keys in the dark :-d

You can try Snapspeed (I use this a lot), Instagram its ok), Aviary, photo art and Pixlr express are all ok. All apps mentioned are free.

Christmas meal-wise, has everyone ordered a bloody big coach? Coz I'm still here drinking! ;-) piss heads unite! App-wise I love 500px! Pixlr for mobile phone picture editing and Amazon for wasting my hard earned on photo equipment (don't tell the strife!) ;-]

Andy (8 beers in).
Happy new year!
