The Best New Apps?

[gemz4the1]

I've been looking at the list of some of the 'best new apps' and I think there's some really good ones for all platforms.  I haven't got any of these apps yet.

iOS

• Chrome Remote Desktop - allows you to link up with your pc or mac (as long as it has the app installed aswell).  I still haven't decided which web browser to use, but if I decide on Google Chrome then I will be downloading this app.
• Je Suis Charlie - this app allows people to support the people who died in the tragedy and pin point their location on a map.  This app was 'fast tracked' through the usual Apple development approval process due to the developers contacting Tim Cook personally.  I think it is a lovely idea for an app, but I personally wouldn't use it as I don't like tagging myself at locations.
• Evernote Scannable - an addition to the Evernote app - allows you to scan documents to upload onto your Evernote account.  I personally wouldn't use this app as there are other ways around getting your document on to your Evernote account.

Android

• Google Translate - allows you to use translation services via the camera on your phone.  I think this is an impressive app and would be useful to a lot of people.
• Under Armour Record - a fitness app.  I personally wouldn't rush to get this app as I think there are already numerous apps like this.
• Pizza Navigator - there are also quite a few similar apps to this, such as Hungry House, (which is free to download).  I personally wouldn't pay 69p for this app when there are other apps that can do the same thing as this, as well as using a web browser.

Windows

• Phone Insider - developed by Microsoft (you must register for this service) - allows users to view and test software before it is released.  I personally wouldn't use it but it would be great for more technological people or potential developers.
• Money Tracker - a way to manage money - it is meant to be suitable for professional people and laypeople to understand.  The free version is a limited version of the app and you will get more features if you pay.
• Inbox For Gmail (unofficial Google service) - it does what it says in the title - it provides access to your Gmail account.

Maybe what I should have added to my response was " I would love to discuss with you the 'jailbreak apps' I use if site management would permit the topic.

My apologies for any confusion.

[viridis]

Or just not mentioned the irrelevant non discussion of jailbreak apps and gone with the ones in your last post?

Dumbo question here then .......what on earth is jailbreaking really  I

[viridis]

Jailbreaking is when you completely unlock you iPhone via hardware of the cable, put on a bit of custom software that allows you to run apps that make your iPhone more like Android.

I wish I hadn't asked now.....

So the 'bad bit' is unlocking your phone illegally.....

[viridis]

No, the bad bit is installing a modification to the os therefore immediately breaking your warranty with apple as well as eula.

[Cleoriff]

Well....I am sure I read a thread on here about jailbreaking.....It was some time ago... so probably not here now?

There are some more cleo but I'm not sure even discussion of jailbreak apps AND root apps is allowed on the forum.
So.. Not much else really I can discuss.
