10 Android Apps at SXSW

10 Android Apps at SXSW

1. Thread

Thread aims to answer the "Which Mary is it?" or sometimes, "Who did I ever meet named Chester?" when a caller's name pops up in your smartphone display. It's kind of like a Rapportive for your phone.
Download on Android

2. Augment

For most, furniture is a rare and expensive purchase, which means you'll teeter between options and possibly never buy because you're "just not sure" it's the right one. Augment aims to help you make this decision with its augmented reality app, which will show you what a couch will look like in your house. Pretty nifty.
Download on Android, iOS

3. GroupMe

GroupMe allows people to send text messages within groups and at this year's SXSW, launched two new features: sending money and sharing photos. Other apps such as Venmo have offered something similar which goes to show how much easier managing money can be when it's digital.
Download on Android, iOS

4. Jifiti

Have you ever wanted to exchange physical items when talking with a friend far away over Skype? Well, you can't teleport that burrito quite yet, but you can purchase a gift for a friend as if you're in the store together.
Download on Android, iOS

5. Memoto

Google Glass's price tag might be outside your reach, but soon you could use a key feature with Memoto, a wearable device that snaps a picture every 30 seconds. The companion app will organize photos for you.
Android and iOS apps will be available when the device ships in April.

6. Zumper

Zumper is a new apartment search tool that connects landlords with tenants via a map. The app is location aware and all listings come directly from brokers.


7. Plympton

Plympton publishes serialized fiction. You can subscribe to read each installment via email on your mobile device, or you can buy novels through Amazon and read them in the free Kindle app.
Download through Kindle on Android, iOS

9. Docphin

Medical professionals spend much of their time with patients rather than behind a computer. This app will provide the information they need on a mobile device. It's sort of like a news reader for the medical field.
Download on Android, iOS

10 app icon redesigns: The good, the bad and the ugly

10 app icon redesigns: The good, the bad and the ugly Redesigns happen. Whether a certain look has gone out of style, a brand's direction has changed, or it's just time for something fresh, many popular apps have changed the design of their icons. Instagram just changed its app icon, and while a new look was probably a good idea, many aren't happy about it.   nstagram is far from the first app to go through this. Sometimes it's a home run, but it's rare. More often a changed icon either takes a while to get used to or is just plain bad. Occasionally, the redesign lives in infamy.  May notable icon redesigns came after after Apple transitioned from iOS 6 to iOS 7, introducing a new design philosophy that departed from the skeuomorphism (think: leather texture and wood trim) of the past and embracing a more flat, simple aesthetic. Apps like Messages, Phone, Mail and Weather dropped the gloss in favor of minimalism, and plenty of third-party ap...

GE GAS18PSJSS Top Freezer Refrigerator with Autofill Pitcher review:

 GE GAS18PSJSS Top Freezer Refrigerator with Autofill Pitcher review:  Get automatic water pitcher fill-ups from this top-freezer fridge The Good The Autofill Pitcher is a unique feature that works well and seems practical for daily use -- a rarity with top freezers. Despite the plain-looking design, the fridge feels sturdy and well-constructed. The Bad Storage space is cramped to begin with, let alone with the Autofill Pitcher taking up space on the top shelf. Cooling performance was also pretty unexceptional. The Bottom Line The Autofill Pitcher is a borderline ingenious fridge feature, but the GAS18PSJSS isn't well-rounded enough to be a top pick. for price and more click here
