My Top 5 Apps

Hey Guys! There wasn't much "important" news to talk about today, so I am going to do something different. I am going to tell you about my top 5 favorite apps that I use. They can be on my Droid and my IPad. The countdown will start at 5, but they are in no particular order.

5. ITranslate (IPad)
This app is one of the most helpful apps I use on my IPad. It is great for Spanish class, and I cannot imagine how good it is for people that travel to foreign countries frequently. ITranslate lets you translate to over 20 languages and even has a feature that lets the IPad say the translation out loud, even a paragraph worth of words. The app is free but you can pay to eliminate the banner ad that takes up a small part of the screen. Rating: 10/10.

4. Lookout (Droid)
If you haven't heard of Lookout, you should really check it out in the Android market. Lookout is an antivirus for your mobile phone. It scans any newly downloaded app on your phone for malicious code and harmful data, backs up all of your phone's data to their website to make sure that you don't lose any precious memories, and it has a feature that can show you your phone on a map and make it scream a loud sound to help find it. This feature is particularly good because it can save you at times when you have your phone on silent. You can buy the regular version for free in the Android market, but more features are available in the premium one Rating: 10/10.

3. Let's Golf 2 HD (IPad)
The sequel to the fun game Let's Golf, Let's Golf 2 offers a great variety of courses and skill levels to get your game on. The app has a great feel to it and the graphics are spectacular, but a little laggy at times. Produced by Gameloft, this application is one of the most polished games in the app store (and that is saying a lot). You can download this app for 99 cents (Thanksgiving deal) in the Apple App store. Rating: 9.5/10. 


2. Twicca (Droid)
Twicca is one of the top notch twitter clients available in the Android market. Still in beta stage, this app provides functionality with a bevy of features. Most importantly, the scrolling is butter smooth, which is a big pet peeve of mine. The app includes all of the features you would like in a mobile Twitter client including video upload, auto URL shortening, and even a widget. This app comes for the low low price of FREE! Rating: 10/10


1. Better Keyboard (Droid)
As we all know, the current stock Android keyboard really stinks. Better keyboard is one of the best replacements to the stock keyboard in the market for all devices. On the Droid, Swype is kind of laggy, so this is the perfect replacement. The keyboard is taller, the keys are better, and there are themes. Aside from some of those trash themes in the market, there is a few good themes for this keyboard. The current one that I use is called Simple, and it is beautiful. The app also has virtually no lag at all. Rating: 10/10.
