Apps you wish you knew about sooner–recommend yours

Be it an Android, iOS, BlackBerry or Windows Phone device there are countless apps that are available through the relevant marketplaces.

Unless you are super human, you could not possibly know about them all and what benefits they can bring.

Of course there are the very big and popular apps which are almost self explanatory, i.e Twitter, Facebook, G+, Instagram, Evernote and many more.

There are though countless smaller, less well known apps that do some very clever things or make your everyday life simpler.

You more than likely have become aware of certain apps, be it through websites, friends and family. If so, what apps are they, what do they do and why are they so great?

The 2 apps I like are CallTrack and SMS Backup+.

They are both simple apps that are very useful.  CallTrack logs a history of all made, received and missed calls in Google Calendar at the time they took place whilst SMS Backup+ keeps a copy of each text message within Gmail for me.

So what useful apps do you use and why?  Leave your comments below.

    Oh my favourite app has got to be NOled. I used to be a Blackberry girl and loved the notification light on it and missed it when I moved to my Galaxy Note. NOled puts notifications – either icons or coloured squares on the idle screen so I can tell straight away if I have an email or instagram likes etc . it is a free app but I would willingly pay for it as it is a joy to use. Highly recommended!

      NoLED is a great app – we’ve been big advocates ever since the S2 came about with no notification LED.

    titanium backup root – the top reason to root your phone

    springpad is excellent – cross-platform (ios, android, desktop/web) – for taking notes, making lists and synchronising/sharing them

    smsbackup+ is truly excellent as you say – push SMS messages into a GMail folder, store SMSs and call logs into a calendar (can create a separate calendar for this).

    google’s field trip is quite nice if you’re visiting another city

    alarm clock plus – the ultimate alarm clock app

    aviary – excellent photo editor, be sure to get the free sticker packs

    backitude – if you share location with spouse/friend/partner, this keeps your latitude location more up to date

    bus scout – vital if you catch public transport

    DMD Pano – a really easy to use panorama app

    infinite painter – a free version for galaxy note supports the pressure sensitive pen really well

      I recently installed Field Trip – it has the potential to be a great app. Hopefully it will receive the ongoing attention it needs to grow to a fully fledged app.
