A Smartphone can really help you become smart!You can trun it into walkmeter, heart rate monitor or a scanner! Here a list 10 best android apps I have found so far.
Google sky map : My kids have keen interest in astronomy. Google
sky map is a wonderful app that allows us to browse the sky and locate current
position of planets , stars and constellations.
Being able to view current position of Mars and Saturn along along the horizon is breathtaking!
Showing my kids RA/Dec grid time by time is real fun! They love to
locate planets early morning and late night to feel the spinning of earth!
Though my kids are small, they love to
search their favorite constellations Pegasus, Ursa Major and Scorpius. Making
them learn so much at such an early stage of life was just not possible without
this app!
Cardio Trainer My favorite app that keeps me
motivated for my evening walk! It counts every step that I take for enjoying
better health! It even tell you the speed you are running at! It tracks number of calories burned during variety of workouts like pilates, aerobics, badminton and many more!
Instant heart rate: It may sound
childish but, true that after every session of power yoga I do check my heart
rate to know my workout intensity!
My favorite reading hub to hook throughout
the day where you can get news articles directly from sites like Hindustan
Times and IBN live, business articles
from Entrepreneur and Techdirt , Science and Technology articles from PCWorld , CNET and TechCrunch , lifestyle articles
from Women’s Health, Lifehacker and yoga
journal.
Hold on!
These are just my favorites you can
subscribe to many other interests in various categories from sports to
politics!
Google reader : This wonderful app helps
me stay tuned to my favorite blogs that I have subscribed to! I can read their
latest post directly from my Smartphone! Hurre!
