My Top 5 Android Apps

These are my favorite android apps that I use regularly:


Scoremobile:  If you are a big sports fan then this is an app that I highly recommend.  When I had a blackberry it was a favorite app of mine and was extremely happy when it finally came to Android.  I have used ESPN Scorecenter, Live Score, and Sports Tap, but those apps didn't have all the info I wanted or they were a battery hog.

Google+:  This is a social media app by Google that is currently in beta.  I like that you can utilize Circles to keep your friends, family, or work life separate and not combined into one whole universe.  So now you can just send updates to a select few or to the whole universe if you want.

Poynt:  Another app that I used a lot when I had a blackberry and was happy when it finally came to Android.  You can find out what stores, restaurants, parks, etc is around you.  You can find out where the cheapest gas is around you, and you can find out movie times at theaters around you.  It is an extremely useful app if you travel a lot or move to a new area.

Google Maps:  It is a navigation app that like Poynt you can explore what is around you.  However if you have a specific address or destination then you can plug it in and receive directions for it.  The app can be integrated with Poynt or other apps on your phone.

Pulse:  If you are a person who likes to keep up with the news then this is a pretty good app with a nice interface.  It has a vast number of RSS feeds you can subscribe to or if you have a google reader account you can pull some of your feeds from there.
