My Top 5 Apps
Every day I use my iOS devices to work on things and to play. Hell, I'm using my iPad right now to write this article. Today we are talking about my 5 most used apps. I will leave links to the Android version of them as well as the iOS. So everyone knows I don’t use these apps on android so I don’t know how well they work there. With that said let’s get into the list.
File Browser:
Google Play: No Android App
Now I’ve used other file browser apps. I also use files which is built into iOS but I found a tip about this pacific app a month ago while on Facebook. FileBrowser lets me import different files into the app and plug-in cloud drives like Dropbox. What it does differently is let you access shared folders on your network. Allowing you to access these folders in the built-in files app. Now it may seem counterintuitive to us an app so I can use that same feature in another app.
Here me out though. Being able to copy a file from my server onto my iPad and then put it in the right folder for the app I want to use it in makes things simpler. Otherwise, I have to copy it the FileBrowser app then copy it again from that app into the one I want to use it with. Then vice-versa to get it off my iOS device.
WoW Companion App:
Well, we all knew this was coming. The World of Warcraft companion app is for those who play wow in the current expiation. If you used the legion app before it, this app is much of the same. It allows you to start follower missions, recruit troops, and to collect your rewards. It also adds the ability to your characters in the armory.
I’m in and out of this app a lot. Especially when I’m leveling a character to do XP missions while I’m not playing or to get a little more azurite on my main. If you are currently playing wow this is a good way to get something done in wow without having to open the game.
LastPass:
You can file this app under work or play. LastPass is a cloud-based password vault. Now some might say being a cloud password vault might make it insecure. But I’ve used things like keypads in the past and it was was too much to manage. LastPass keeps everything synced up and secured. I’ve been using LastPass like 2008 when I was still in high school and it has only gotten better over time. For free you can use LastPass on your PC through a browser extension to keep track of your passwords or create secure passwords. If you want to get access to your passwords easily and securely on your mobile devices, for $3 a month you can use the mobile app.
Reddit:
Back to play time. The Reddit app I mean what else can I say it’s Reddit login and go to r/aww when you need a pick me up. I use the normal Reddit it works. If I am going to bed and then open this app before I know it the sun is up.
Overwatch League:
Overwatch League started up last week and normally I tune in if one of my teams are playing (NY Or Soul). Otherwise, I have it on in the background or watch something else, but I do still want to see what is going on in the league. The Overwatch League app keeps you update on league news, standings, and scores. It will also show you schedules when teams are playing. You can set the app to give you an alert when your team is playing. It is a must-have if you are an Overwatch League fan.
These 5 apps I have been ushering the most right now, but it does change from time to time. I thought it would be nice to share what I use. If you have your own list or have apps you think I might want to check out let me know in the comments.
What might Google announce on October 4th
On Sunday October 4th Google is set to have an announcement to unveil something. Based off the page it looks like it will be a new android phone. We also know this cause some images and pre-rendered images of the new phone. It will be the google pixel phone. The name pixel might sound familiar. The released a expensive chrome book a few years ago with the name Pixel.
Speaking of chrome OS Google might also announce a new hybrid OS that they have been working on. This would combined Android and Chrome OS as a single OS to run on mobile devices and desktop and laptop devices. This new OS would have the security of chrome OS and the power of android. This would be far more interesting than a phone announcement.
We will have to see in just a few days what will get announced at the event. We could just see the same old same old phone announcement or we might see a whole new OS from google which I think will be far better.
