Appendix DRIOD App Guide

This appendix includes information on apps you can download and install for your DROID. We’ve included QR codes, so you can use a barcode scanner app on your DROID to navigate directly to a given app. Read Chapter 17, “Exploring the Android Market,” for more information on QR codes.

CAUTION: We want to make you aware that apps may change frequently. Some of the apps listed in this guide will have been updated, others may be gone altogether, and new and improved ones added by the time you read this book. Please use the apps listed in this guide as a starting point to become familiar with what is possible and help you find some useful apps.

Document Tools If you work in an office, you may need to deal with documents. At the time of publication, there are no solutions to reading Microsoft OneNote on Android. That may come in the future, but for now we recommend using Evernote instead. Of the document-management we tested, DataViz’s Docs to Go and Mobile Suite from QuickOffice were the most stable and offered the best interfaces for both viewing and editing documents. However, you may have different results with different types of documents, so the best approach is to use free trial versions of apps that interest you and compare how well these apps display the types of documents you typically use. Docs to Go allows some editing and formatting, and it will even handle DOCX . It’s not a replacement for a full-sized , but it is a good complement to one.

525 526 APPENDIX: DRIOD App Guide

TIP: Check out Chapter 21: "Working with Notes and Documents" for descriptions of how to use Docs to Go and QuickOffice.

ThinkFree Mobile is another popular choice, although in our testing it suffered from more formatting errors when trying to display documents. Table A–1 shows these and other document tools. Table A–1. Document Tools.

Docs to Go, Free The free trial allows you to view documents, by DataViz trial/$14.99 and the paid version allows you to edit them. It supports Word and Excel formats; the paid version also supports PowerPoint.

QuickOffice US$9.99 This is a complete software solution offering Mobile Suite good capabilities for creating and editing from documents on your DROID. QuickOffice, For some PowerPoint editing it has better Inc. capabilities than Docs to Go.

OfficeSuite Free The free trial is for 30 days. The app supports Viewer, by trial/$1.99 Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files. Mobile This app had a high failure rate in our testing Systems when trying to open files.

ThinkFree Free/$9.99 The free version is just a viewer. The paid version Office Mobile, can be purchased either item by item (e.g., word by ThinkFree processing, , and slideshow) or all Mobile at once. It will download and open Docs, and it has a built-in file browser. Overall, this app has a nice feature set; in my testing, however, it did not display documents well and often made them difficult to read with black backgrounds.

Adobe Free Allows you to view PDF attachments, but Reader, by does not let you create or edit them. This is Adobe stable, free, and offered directly from Adobe. It also supports pinch-to-zoom and viewing from the Web. APPENDIX: DRIOD App Guide 527

Printing If you’ve got a document ready for printing, why not print it directly from your phone? PrinterShare lets you do exactly that. However, as of publishing time, it did not yet support printing Word or Excel files, so this app is most useful for printing photos, not Office documents. You also need to install software in order to print to non-Wi-Fi printers. The free trial lets you print a test page to verify that it will work. As Android gains popularity, you can expect to see more printing solutions; however, at the time of publication, it’s a lonely field. Table A–2 shows PrinterShare, the only app in this category.

Table A–2. Printing Apps.

PrinterShare Free Use the free trial’s test-print feature Droid Print, by trial/$4.95 before committing to a purchase. Be Mobile Dynamix aware that Office files are not supported, but PDF files and photos are. 528 APPENDIX: DRIOD App Guide

File Management It’s nice to be able to view or edit your document attachments, but it’s also nice to know where those files are stored on your SD card without having to connect your phone to a computer in order to do basic file-management tasks. Your DROID comes with the Files app for file management. File-management software lets you see and move your files; it also enables you to break things if you don’t know what you’re doing or you aren’t careful. Use caution when moving files and renaming folders. Of the apps we’ve evaluated, EStrongs File Explorer was our favorite, but there are many strong, free choices. We like to combine File Explorer with Dropbox, which allows us to share and sync files through the Internet and access them from any computer or . Table A–3 lists the available file-management options.

TIP: To learn more about Dropbox, check out Chapter 21. To learn about which folders store all your pictures, videos, and ringtones, check out Chapter 25: "DROID Media Sync.

Dropbox, by Free This app allows Dropbox users to access Dropbox and share files between users and computers as if they share a common folder. Basic accounts are free, and premium accounts offer more storage. Visit the website at www.dropbox.com for more info. See Chapter 21 for more details about Dropbox.

Virus Protection, Backups, and Security Viruses may seem like a remote worry; however, as mobile devices become more popular, the bad guys will figure out better ways to distribute them. However, losing your phone and/or having it stolen are big potential problems right now, especially if you store sensitive data on your phone. It may be a job requirement that you be able to wipe business data from your phone if it is stolen. Your DROID already ships with the ability to remote wipe and back up your phone data. Lookout Mobile is our top pick in this category. It’s free and provides three services within one app. If you feel the virus protection is unnecessary, you can disable that feature and use only the Data Backup and Missing Device features (see the figure to the right). We also appreciate that it sends you an email whenever you use remote location to make sure your online account hasn’t been breached. 530 APPENDIX: DRIOD App Guide

Super Private Free This app blocks unwanted SMS and Conversation, by phone calls and filters specified SMS Superdroid.net conversations for privacy. APPENDIX: DRIOD App Guide 531

Presentation Software Most of the document-management software listed earlier can handle viewing PowerPoint files. Chances are slim that you’ll need to actually present from your Android phone; however, if you need to, you can use Docs to Go or the slideshow feature in your phone gallery in a pinch. At this time, the DROID and DROID 2 do not support TV out, so you can’t just plug the device into a TV or monitor and see video images. This is a hardware – not software – limitation, so most of us actually giving presentations using Android phones are stuck projecting them from an overhead projector. However, the DROID X does come with TV-out capabilities, which means you can present slideshows from your phone. This also means you can pair them with portable projectors that take standard TV connections, use the MightyMeeting app, and leave the PC behind. Table A–5 shows some presentation options.

Table A–5. Presentation Software.

MightyMeeting, Free This app enables you to give PowerPoint by MightyMeeting and Keynote presentations from your DROID.

It’s cross- platform compatible, so you can use this to control Mac media, as well. However, it requires server software to be installed on the computer you want to control, making it a no-no for some work environments. The $2.99 version is “donateware” for the developers.

Web Conferencing At this time, none of the DROID models covered in this book have a front-facing video camera, so they can't be used for video conferencing. However, Web conferencing from your phone is starting to emerge as a real possibility. WebEx and GoToMeeting don’t have official apps at the time of publication, but that may change as their competitors eliminate the need for a PC. As mentioned earlier, MightyMeeting offers the ability to host and attend live conferences without requiring a laptop . Table A–6 shows some handy apps for managing web conferences. Table A–6. Web Conferencing Apps.

Notetaking and Mind Mapping You may not want to take traditional notes during a meeting from your phone unless you’re a very fast thumb typist. However, you may want to access notes you’ve taken earlier or leave yourself quick sticky notes. Some apps are also tied into to-do lists. You may prefer mind mapping to traditional notetaking. Android can help with that, too. Thinking Space, shown in the image to the right, is one of several mind-mapping applications that allow you to diagram words and ideas visually, rather than by creating bullet-point lists.

Table A–7 shows Thinking Space and other notetaking options for Android. 534 APPENDIX: DRIOD App Guide

Email Management We discussed email in Chapter 9: “Email on Your DROID.” Android has very capable native options for email; however, in the corporate world, you may need more than what comes in the Android box, and you may not want to pay Verizon for monthly access to Corporate Sync email accounts. Table A–8 shows some email-management apps.

Expenses and Finance Tracking expenses is a necessary evil. We were very happy to learn about web-based services like Expensify and Mint.com (see the figure to the right). These services handle most of the data–entry process for you, letting you just see the results. For personal finances, Mint is our favorite. You must have a Mint.com account to use the app. It makes it easy to keep track of your accounts, portfolio, and budget. It can also send you email or text alerts for events you specify, such as when you are charged a banking fee, when you make a large purchase, and when your bills are due.

Travel If you have to travel for work, you’ll appreciate travel apps that track your mileage, list your schedule, help you find places to eat, and make sure you don’t say anything embarrassing to the locals. Kayak is a great app for comparing airfares across all airlines, hotel prices and even learning information about your local airport. includes public transportation directions when available, but there are also third-party apps for specific cities available, so don’t forget to search the market before you travel. Google Maps for Android also includes the Places app, which allows you to browse nearby locations by category. Our favorite travel app, aside from the preinstalled Google Maps, is TripIt. It allows you to see your itinerary and share it with close contacts, while providing general information to professional contacts or the public in general. TripIt can also be tied in with LinkedIn and . Table A–11 shows TripIt and some other travel app options.

Epocrates has a long tradition of offering its reference materials on PDAs and other mobile devices, and pharmaceutical companies are making their own apps. Medical Spanish Audio is our favorite app of this group. It lists Spanish phrases by category, such as trauma assessments. If you check the box next to a question, you can bookmark it for reference; and if you click a question, the app will pronounce it aloud for you.

For legal students, there are lots of study guides and flashcard games. There are also a few specialized apps for calculating billing hours and target dates. Legal students may also consider apps like Locale that automatically turn the phone’s ringer off at certain locations, such as the courthouse. See Table A–13 for a list of law and legal apps.

Sales and CRM CRM (customer relationship management) seems like something that was meant to be done from your phone. You can find tools that work with Microsoft CRM, and Salesforce.com is developing tools that are not yet on the market. There are also plenty of smaller CRM companies that are willing to work with Android, such as Simply Sales, and several developers have introduced standalone apps for the freelancer. If you’re interested in using CRM apps, try a few out to see what works best for you. See Table A–15 for a list of sales and CRM apps.

Simply Sales, by Free Simply Sales is a simple CRM app MyOlive.net Small that integrates with Gmail and Business Portal Google Maps. The app was written by MyOlive.net, which also offers a small business CRM portal.

Retail Small business retailers will really appreciate being able to accept and process credit cards from their phones. For the most part, these apps are free; however, you must have a merchant account, and the apps and services in this space charge membership and/or transaction fees for credit-card processing. The FaceCash app promises an innovative way to let retailers and merchants handle transactions. Rather than carrying a credit card, a user relies on FaceCash to show merchants an ID that prominently showcases a picture of her face and transfers the funds from an account with FaceCash rather than a credit card. A user can choose to tie her bank account to the payment service or rely on transfers from other customers (such as her parents). You can think of this service as PayPal with an easier ID system. However, FaceCash isn’t useful if nobody accepts it, and nobody asks to use it; therefore, most merchants will still need to process credit cards.

See Table A–16 for a selection of money-processing retail apps. Table A–16. Retail Sales Apps.

Finance Android lends itself to personal-finance and portfolio-management software. One example is Google’s own Google Finance app.This app allows you to track general stock direction, portfolios, and financial news. There are also many apps written specifically by banks for their customers. You should always double-check the author and read reviews before downloading an app that claims to have been written by your bank.

Project Management Project managers have to keep track of a lot of parts and people in order to do their jobs.

Mobile Project Manager is a very capable . It can import from MS Project format, create Gantt charts, and send reports via email. You can add both location and contact resources, as well as attach files from your phone’s SD card.

Education and Training Higher education institutions have begun offering apps and services aimed at students. The apps and services include maps, enrollment information, and access to the campus learning-management system. The developers for both the Blackboard and Moodle services have recognized that students may want to access coursework with a mobile phone. For example, the developers of Moodle have worked on optimizing the mobile browser experience for general usability on all mobile platform – without a dedicated app. Meanwhile, Blackboard is partnering with Sprint to offer a free native app for Sprint customers. Schools that wish to support other phone networks pay an additional licensing fee. Currently, most Android apps aimed at students focus on E-Books, flash cards, grammar, and study guides.

It may logically belong in the education app category, but the Kindle app likely won’t replace textbooks until adds better audio navigation for the user interface. However, for the mobile professional, E-Books are starting to come of age. Amazon chose an E-Book format incompatible with industry-standard ePub books, but made up for it by developing apps for most mobile platforms, including Android. The user interface for Kindle for Android is more intuitive than the standalone Kindle eReader because you can swipe your finger to turn rather than pressing a button. You also don’t get a month-long battery life on your phone; however, the books are still easy to read, even on a small screen. For more information on E-book readers, see Chapter 16, "New Media. APPENDIX: DRIOD App Guide 555
