How Many Stars: [rating=4] For whatever reason, teachers and professors derive some twisted pleasure from overloading you with course work. I’m willing to wager it stems from a psychological condition rooted deep in a person’s psyche. Or maybe it’s revenge from their student days. Hard to say. Either way, more likely than not, you have loads …

This is going to be one of my favorite android app posts. Getting healthy has been something I have been working very hard with this year and these apps have been some of the best tools I have had! I’m going to share with you some fitness apps, some food apps, and even an iPhone …
Let’s just admit it social media is a part of our lives even if we are a casual internet browser or a social media guru. We are constantly checking in with our friends and updating our status. One way to keep up with your updates and your friends updates is having the right tools on your phone and tablets! Here are a couple of my favorites.
Tweetdeck is my favorite social media app on my tablet and phone. I’ve tried the others but I love then columns and easy use of multiple accounts. But I will admit that sometimes it can be a little buggy on start-up. So if this bothers you or if you have more than your fair share of bugginess you may want to check out the next app. If you want to learn more about TweetDeck in general check out the Basics of TweetDeck.
Tweetcaster is my second option for a twitter app. I found it worked really well, I just wish I had more control of columns. I had this on my tablet when I went to a conference and I just remember it was really hard to keep up with the hashtag. Which is very important for me.
I found this app worked really well and didn’t seem to act buggy on my phone or tablet.
Have I mentioned that I’m a Google+ addict? I am very impressed with the first release of the Google+ App. I do wish it worked on my tablet though. With this app you can upload pictures straight to your unlimited uploads on Google+. You can also stay caught up with your notifications.
Have you heard about GetGlue? If not I highly recommend checking it out. It’s a movie, music, book and product social media site. Share what items you like or what are your favorites. But also “check in” what you are doing right now. Are you watching a movie, check in! Are you reading a book, check in! Also get recommendations from your likes and favorites!
Oh and did I mention the stickers? Once you get enough digital stickers you can ask them to send you the real deal! I’ve already gotten one set and it was awesome!
One of the best parts of smart phones and tablets is the instant entertainment you can get when you pull them out of your pocket. I’m going to share some our families favorite games, but I really want to hear about some of your favorite games to, so you have to comment!
If you haven’t heard of Angry Birds you are missing out. I love this game, but Zane is addicted. He loves playing Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, and Angry Birds Rio. Check out the cinematic trailer:
One of the rare games that I have made it through all the levels! This game is almost a mix of Plunko and Bust a Move! When I heard it was like Bust a Move I figured it was another boring remake, but no it’s so much fun!
I couldn’t find it on the android market, we actually got it free from the Amazon App Store, so the link will take you to the amazon app store (& is an affiliate link).
Now this game was not approved for tablets but I loved it so much I had to have it on my tab. The easy way to work around this is to get on your phone and add it to your account. Then while on your tablet go the Amazon App Store and click install. It was easy and I only have a glitch once in a while.
Another game I got free on Amazon App Store that I love. We have the full version but I linked to the lite version for you to try it out. The idea is that you have a worm that eats only one kind of fruit (they match the color). You want to drag them through the fruit they match and they will eat it away. More fruit will be thrown at you and you want to get your worms to leave spots open for the new fruit. I think this game is tons of fun and very unique.
This was my husband’s pick for games to share with you. He has a few games that he likes but he says out of all of them this is the one he always comes back to. Zane also really enjoys playing this game too. It’s basically pinball in your pocket!
This one of the first games I looked for when I got my android phone. I had seen it on a friends iPad and knew that Zane would love it! It’s one of those great mindless games that is just addicting enough that you always seem to come back to it. And they have the best squishy sound as you squish the ants!
Okay there are so many good games out there now I want to hear your favorites!!
