2012-01-19T13:00:00.000-08:00

From PadGadget:

While not technically a comic book app, GoodReader is a must-have for any comic book fan. There are plenty of comics that have been turned into PDF files on the Internet and GoodReader lets you download right from Web pages with simplicity. At PadGadget and everyone else in the world consider this app a “must” app for your iPad. With GoodReader on your iPad, you can read virtually anything. The app is perfect for your online comic experience. Soon you’ll be wondering how you ever managed to use your iPad without GoodReader.

Using an iPad for your next presentation? Here are the apps you need

2012-01-19T12:21:00.001-08:00

From Forbes Magazine:

I looked long and hard for this app and tried a bunch of others before I settled on Goodreader. Basically, it’s a way to store files on your iPad. What’s the big deal? You can easily store video, pdfs, slides, etc – and then play or view them with a click or two. With the right adaptor, you’re set to play video clips with the least muss and fuss I’ve found so far. And it’s real easy to move video files from computer to iPad with a drag and drop when your iPad is syncing.

Password Management, Data Security Made Easy with mSecure 3.0

2012-01-18T07:31:00.000-08:00

From Business Insider and SmallBizTechnology.com:

Sometimes, it’s the simplest of things that can lead to some of the worst security breaches and cyberattacks. Two of the most common ways that hackers can get to personal information is through stolen devices and through passwords that can be easily cracked. If your laptop, tablet, or smartphone is stolen, and is guarded by an easy or common password, you can be in trouble. Fortunately, small business owners and professionals can protect their data in case of an accident with mSecure 3.0.

MailTones – Email Alerts and Sounds

2012-01-13T14:40:00.000-08:00

From The iPhone Mom:

MailTones is an app for those wishing to cut through their email clutter. The app works by allowing you to assign custom sounds to various emails. You can assign for different contacts, subjects and senders. Assign the sound and when an email comes in matching that parameter you’ll receive a push notification on your phone, alerting you with the sound you chose. There are over 60 tones to choose from as well as a “Do Not Disturb” feature that can be automatically set up for evenings.

I think using an app like this could be a real time saver as it allows you to quickly identify your important emails.

OfficeTime is complete time management and billing solution

2011-12-09T12:34:00.000-08:00

From MacNews:

They say time is money, and, well, it is. When you bill your time, it is money -- and when you fail to bill properly it’s money down the drain. For others, there may not be a one-to-one translation between time and money, but knowing where your time is going and what you are doing is important. Productivity experts always say: know where you time is going. Office Time lets you do that and much more.

Compass Eye: I’m Sailing Away

2011-12-09T10:09:00.000-08:00

From Gizmodo:

An augmented reality app that's actually useful is a rare find. Compass Eye produces a real time compass that's overlaid on top of the iPhones camera view. Sailors can set multiple bearings and switch between magnetic north and true north.

The app is marketed specifically for sailing, but it can be used for hiking, biking, really anything where you need to set a specific bearing. The app's compass works way better than the iOS default compass and I don't have to wave my iPhone in the air every time I launch the app. The app also features a camera zoom.

Android Central Editors' app picks for Nov. 27, 2011

2011-11-28T06:53:00.000-08:00

From Android Central:

Android phones are like tiny pocket computers, which means you're likely to be logging into some sites that need password protection. I'm the type of person who uses a unique strong password for every login, so mSecure was a perfect fit for me. Using 256bit blowfish encryption, and a master password to lock the app down tight means nobody is going to get access to my logins if I lose my phone, and having everything in one place is always easier. mSecure allows me to enter my username, then select and copy the password to paste in the login window, and presents everything in easy to navigate categories or alphabetically.

The interface is designed brilliantly with a little plus icon at the top left indicating a new document.
The brilliance doesn’t stop there, with a host of easy to use gestures like making a right angle J shape to gesture the enter command. As well as the very easy shorthand tools like putting in the date in your document, all you need to do is write the word date with your finger and then put a circle around it. It even has a built in calculator that you can write simple or even complex mathematic equations and it will calculate it and then put it into your text area.

2011-09-13T13:52:00.000-07:00

From eWeek:

All around, I'm hard-pressed to find anything I don't like about mSecure. For a few hours, I thought I wanted it to validate credit card checksums during record input, but that's as close as I could come to identifying a missing feature. In short, I'm impressed enough with mSecure that I may finally throw away that notebook I've kept for the last 15 years.

iPads and GoodReader on Delta Airlines

2011-08-24T07:40:00.000-07:00

From AppModo:

Did you know Delta Airlines is replacing flight manuals with iPads and GoodReader? Yes, it’s true! Airlines are providing pilots with iPads and GoodReader – especially since GoodReader was originally designed as an app for pilots! The company president was contracted to develop a suite of apps for pilots (navigation, wind calculation, document viewing, etc.) but the project funding was canceled when it was only 20% done. He liked the direction of the document viewer so much that he bought it for himself and continued building it – and GoodReader was the result!

From RunAroundTech:

I’m going to come right out and say it. I absolutely suck at typing on the iPhone keyboard. I know there are many people who absolutely love it but I’m simply not one of them. I have large fingers (I guess) and find myself making mistake after mistake, back spacing, rewriting, over and over again. When I was asked to have a look at WritePad, an iOS app that actually turns your handwriting into text, I happily agreed – anything to avoid the keyboard. Although at its most basic level WritePad is a basic handwriting recognition app – it actually does much, much more.

Review of WritePad for iPhone

2011-05-19T07:17:00.000-07:00

From iPhoneApp-Reviews:

What I liked about WritePad was the ability to include and exclude specific shapes for each character, this enables you to tailor the app to how you write. The shorthand option is useful for regularly used snippets of content such as addresses and lists. The custom words is a great inclusion allowing you to insert words which aren't in the default directory.

If you feel more comfortable writing then typing, WritePad could be just what you're after. The version reviewed reflects the development and work which has gone into building this app, the amount of customisation available is impressive and ensures the WritePad can be setup for customised to cater for everyones style of writing.

From Apps for iPads:

GoodReader is SO good that it was voted the #1 selling non-Apple app for iPad in USA in 2010!

The ability to mark-up PDFs opens up new doors to GoodReader users who can now use typewriter text boxes, sticky notes, lines, arrows, and freehand drawings on top of a PDF file.

iPad and GoodReader: the perfect mobile office and vacation companion

2011-04-22T09:55:00.000-07:00

From ZDNet:

It’s a good thing I brought the iPad since as I was sitting on the plane waiting to take off, I received a text asking me for my opinion on a presentation. I quickly fired up my iPad, downloaded the presentation and launched it into GoodReader. This way I had it saved for later viewing on the plane. I also launched a number of other attachments, to go along with the presentation. The nice thing about GoodReader is that it can view a ton of different attachment types, and also has a built-in file manager. This was helpful since I organized the attachments into different folders, and then even renamed some of the attachments.

In and Out Of Office: Putting iPads To Work

2011-04-05T13:37:00.000-07:00

From Wall Street Journal's All Things Digital (Walt Mossberg):

Some apps for the iPad let you store large numbers of different types of files, view them and even annotate them. My favorite, GoodReader, is a $4.99 app that handles all the Microsoft Office file types, plus PDFs and more.
GoodReader even lets you type notes on, or draw on, PDFs, and then save and email the annotated version. It also allows you to organize files into folders and rename them. And it lets you retrieve files from cloud-based services, without having to switch to a separate app provided by those services. Among the cloud services it supports are Google Docs, Dropbox, SugarSync and iDisk.

Review: Ringtone Remix

Review: Ringtone Remix Pro for the iPhone

2011-04-05T12:14:00.000-07:00

From RunAroundTech:

Ringtone Remix has some pretty unique features that separate it from the pack of other ringtone apps. All these apps have one thing in common. Steps. They all require several. You first create the ringtone on your phone using the app itself. Then sync it to iTunes then back to your phone. Where Ringtone Remix steps ahead of the rest is with its ability to sync over Dropbox.

I found Ringtone Remix Pro incredibly easy to use. The entire process of creating a ringtone, from editing it, to emailing it, to syncing it took under 10 minutes and worked perfectly. You can’t ask for much more than that.

Ringtone Remix Pro review

2011-02-17T14:34:00.000-08:00

From LatestGadgets:

Ringtone Pro is fast and easy and allows pinch to zoom for precision. I’ve done a fair bit of audio editing in my time and was comfortable with using the interface. You can pop into your iTunes library, grab your favourite non-DRM’d song and find a section to loop. Couldn’t be easier right? Well the Ringtone Pro folks have simplified it even further by adding a Magic button that analyses the audio file, finds a loopable section and automatically highlights it for you. You can then fiddle with it a tiny bit to get the syncing just right. I created a ringtone from Anamanaguchi’s Jetpack Blues and Sunset Hues in seconds.

Nag App for Mac Delivers Easy, On-Demand Alarms

2011-02-17T10:15:00.000-08:00

From Notebooks.com:

Nag for Mac is a Mac version of the popular iPhone app that allows users to easily set an alarm with the push of a button, without thinking about what time you need to set the clock for. For example, if you know that in 10 minutes you need to leave the coffeeshop to meet your wife for lunch, open up Nag, click the 10 icon and get back to work. After 10 minutes the app will “Nag” you with one of the bundled sounds.

The app is much simpler than opening up your phone, finding the alarm app, looking 10 minutes into the future and then setting the alarm with 7-10 taps.

Ringtone Remix has been updated - Faster, New Song Picker, & More!

2011-02-11T06:10:00.000-08:00

From NerdBerry:

If any of you are into personalizing your phone like I am, ringtones are one of the first things that you add to your phone. Well Ringtone Remix has been updated with great overall enhancements:

Significant improvement in speed – eliminating any lag-time when ringtones are played.
Even more degrees of zoom on the waveform so users can better fine-tune which sections of songs they wish to use as their ringtones
A new song picker to make it easier to find and select the tune you want to turn into a ringtone.

File messages quickly on iPhone with eMailGanizer

2011-02-10T13:25:00.000-08:00

From Macworld:

GoodHumans' new eMailGanizer app - available both in pro and free ad-supported versions - has arrived in the iOS App Store. The offering is aimed at sales professionals, money managers, Getting Things Done (GTD) practitioners, and - in the developer's words - "anybody with dozens, if not hundreds, of e-mail folders."

GoodHumans says the app makes it easier to organize messages because it identifies and displays folders most likely to be relevant to the current e-mail. A "quick mode" function allows multiple e-mails to be filed simultaneously; users can also add events directly from mail to the iPhone calendar, and do full-text searches of their mail offline.

This handwriting-recognition app definitely earns a place on my must-have Android app list. I'm going to be using this app 24/7.

A review of Ringo for Android

2011-02-02T07:09:00.000-08:00

From PalmAddicts:

Ringo really lets you go to town on your mobile and customise it to exactly how you want it to notify you, something that Android slightly lacks - you can enable popups when you get SMS's, change the rate of the LED blinking and even turn on 'Escalating Ring', which gradually increases the volume of the ringtone, something that I miss from back in the day when I had a little Nokia 3310.

iPad for Business

2011-01-31T15:20:00.000-08:00

From Connected Business (UK):

Goodreader for iPad supports the viewing of many document formats including PDF and Microsoft Office files, permits direct Wi-Fi transfer of data directly to the iPad, and can connect to a variety of cloud-based storage services.

GoodReader will be the best 59p you’ve ever invested in your iPad. With this seemingly magical application, you can view PDF and a myriad of other data formats including Microsoft Office, HTML, image files as well as audio and video formats. Additionally, you can connect to several popular cloud-based storage services including DropBox (which has its own viewer app but is inferior to GoodReader) WebDAV servers and directly access files stored on Google Docs and within GMail itself.

As if this wasn’t impressive enough, you can also directly transfer files to GoodReader wirelessly using a simple Web-based GUI from your PC or Mac, or via WebDAV-based drag and drop network share.

Review: HanDBase for Android

2011-01-31T07:45:00.000-08:00

From GearDiary:

HanDBase is one of those mobile app titles that anyone who has been around mobile devices for a while will surely recognize. HanDBase, by DDH Software, was introduced for Palm OS initially, eventually migrating to Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, iOS, and now Android. While I don’t use database programs extensively, I have used one program or another for a long while to track media collections or other forms of inventories.

If you’re new to HanDBase, it is a relational database program with cross-platform availability, including Mac and PC desktop versions with a sync conduit. The desktop software has the ability to import either comma separated or tab delimited files, which are then stored as pdb files (yes, the old Palm database format). Because a lot of folks who may be collecting information for databases may want to enter that information in a sequence of format that is easier to use than staring at a straight database sheet, HanDBase also includes a forms designer that allows the user to create customized data entry forms.

WritePad For iPad Now Features A Palm Rest Option – No More Hovering

2011-01-14T07:42:00.000-08:00

From AppAdvice:

WritePad for iPad is all about handwriting recognition and can be especially useful when utilizing a stylus, which is why its new palm rest option is so important. Instead of having to constantly hover above your iPad to take notes, the app now allows you to comfortably rest your hand right on the screen without resulting in any accidental inputs. The option works for either left or right hand users, as long as your hand is resting below what you are writing.

Protect Passwords, Save Sensitive Information with SplashID

2011-01-07T08:57:00.000-08:00

From The iPhone App Review:

Though there are numerous applications that offer such similar safety services, SplashID seems to go above and beyond by emphasizing their security and versatility, as one can sync this application with any Mac or Windows computer out there. Yes, this means you must memorize a new password. But just think – this shall be the only one you ever need to remember now, for it shall unleash the rest of your important information upon input. And with the ability to sync your data with your computer, you (hopefully) won’t have to fear losing all your most crucial data to technology failure, though you will have to lose a few dollars in the process.

A review of Ringo for Android

2011-01-04T08:53:00.000-08:00

From PalmAddicts:

The first thing that I noticed with Ringo compared to other apps like it was the speed and performance. Other applications I've used take a good few minutes to load the large selection of ringtones I have on my mobile - Ringo didn't. Another thing that really stood out was how easy the interface is! The buttons are large and readable, making it easy to navigate. It's really all self explanatory - you're able to quickly silence your mobile, put it into the 'vibration' mode or put it on loud, which I found really neat.

Ringo really lets you go to town on your mobile and customise it to exactly how you want it to notify you, something that Android slightly lacks - you can enable popups when you get SMS's, change the rate of the LED blinking and even turn on 'Escalating Ring', which gradually increases the volume of the ringtone, something that I miss from back in the day when I had a little Nokia 3310.

Another thing I found pretty awesome was the idea of changing the way your phone notifies dependent on the contact who's calling/sms'ing you.

Ringo is a breath of fresh air in terms of customising your SmartPhone - It's so easy to use, honestly anybody could get the hang of it within seconds!

Make ringtones from your BlackBerry music with Ringtone Remix

2011-01-04T08:02:00.000-08:00

From BBGeeks:

There are two things I like about this app. First, it lets me create ringtones right from the BlackBerry, which is often where I want to do it. I’m not normally thinking about my BlackBerry ringtone while I’m at my computer. But I am thinking about it while sitting on a train, or waiting on line. Second, I like the ability to create odd ringtones. I imagine this app will induce many people to create ringtones from popular parts of popular songs. But you don’t have to. You can dive into a song and get a cool-sounding lick, or a particularly insightful line of verse, and create a ringtone out of it.

Appletell reviews SplashID KeySafe USB drive

2010-12-30T14:10:00.000-08:00

From Appletell:

The SplashID Key Safe is a handy tool if you find yourself using a lot of different computers with which you need to share passwords. It’s a USB drive (2 GB) with software to store and generate passwords, as part of a database that stores other information, too.

The SplashID software takes up a tiny amount of the 2GB. After you create a Master ID (and password), it presents you with a simple database program for storing all your personal information. Web log-ins, sure, but also insurance info, emergency contacts, birthdays, clothes sizes, really anything you want. Beyond the basic fields for URLs and, of course, passwords, there are predesignated and blanks fields allowing you to store info like your car’s VIN and license plate number, along with your insurance log-in or what your spouse has hinted she might like for her birthday. You can also attach a file (like a PDF or image) to the record.
