Want to be more organised, have fun and be better informed? Discover just what apps can do for you

How Apps can change your life

An app is a piece of software that helps you

perform a specifi c task. It can be anything from

a guitar tuner to a wedding planner, a stock

market tracker to an electronic personal trainer.

The best thing is you can have as many of them

as you want and access each one at the touch

of a button. And because there are over 100,000

apps* available for Android phones (with more

added every day), many of which are free, there

really is an app out there for everything.

Clever Android Apps designed to do things differentlySuffering from slow internet

speeds? Opera Mini 5 Beta

cleverly shrinks web content

to make pages load faster

on your tablet. Or maybe you want to touch up

your holiday snaps while you’re still on holiday?

Adobe Photoshop Express lets you fi ne-tune your

photographs using your fi ngers. Perhaps it’s instant

information you’re after? Then feast your eyes on

Google Goggles, which combines your tablet’s

camera with Google’s search engine. Simply

take a photo of an object (anything from a public

landmark to a bottle of wine), and Goggles will tell

you everything you need to know about it – from

potted histories to the best online prices.

Friendly AndroidSuperb apps for socialisingWith an Android tablets, you

can talk and text like never

before. Love free instant

messaging? Check out WhatsApp. Want free

face-to-face video calls? Pick up the new Skype

for Android app, which utilises your mobile internet

to connect you with the rest of the world. Naturally,

Android also has dedicated Twitter and Facebook

apps, to keep you posted on your friends and family.

Hardworking AndroidApps for working on the move Perhaps you want a task list that

reminds you what you should be

doing, just before you’re meant


Full range available online at carphonewarehouse.ie

to do it? Simply download the Astrid productivity

app. Need a second phone number for work calls?

Google Voice lets you make calls from your tablet

on a unique phone number that’s all your own, and

even turns your voicemail into text to save you time.

Globetrotting Android Great apps for globetrottingIf you’re struggling to keep

tabs on your travels, TripIt is

the ultimate itinerary planner,

compiling everything from fl ight details to hotel

numbers, local directions to restaurant bookings.

New in town? The Layar Reality Browser uses your

tablet’s camera to display real-time information

for restaurants, hotels, shops and theatres for your

current location, right before your eyes. Want to

know if you’ll need an umbrella? The Weather

Channel app doesn’t just provide a detailed

report by town and city, but will give accurate

forecasts based on a specifi c postcode. Need to

get places fast? Google Maps is a free turn-by-turn

navigation aide**, which gives the fastest route by

car, public transport, or (fi tness depending) on foot.

Entertaining AndroidApps that are made for multimediaWant brilliant games to

keep you occupied on your

commute? They don’t come

any more addictive than

Angry Birds Lite, the game that lets you exact

tweet revenge on some opportunist egg thieves.

Or perhaps you prefer watching the news to

reading about it? If so, the Sky News app offers up

to the minute video bulletins. Want more music on

your tablet? There’s an extensive range of apps that

you can access anywhere, from radio stations to

Shazam, which lets you identify that elusive track.

Perhaps you prefer your music live? Then try Gigstar,

a gig-fi nding app that lets you search for events

and artists, buy tickets to shows, and even tell you

when your favourite band is coming to town.
