Playbook - What Apps could you not live without?

glassofpinot

There are a lot of ways to ask this question about your favoritres, so we'll put it this way...

If you could only keep 3-4 apps on your Playbook tomorrow (non-standard, something that you downloaded from AppWorld), what 3-4 would you keep?
(fortunately we don't have to live in this reality)

Playbook is harder for me to choose than the phone...
-Evernote
-Video Chat
-a File Manager app
-iTunes Synch
-Kindle (though I wish there was something much easier to download library books since convoluted Kindle process is a pain)
-the next Need for Speed game

Kindle's not that difficult @glassofpinot, unless you're using non-amazon books I guess, never tried that actually...nevermind.

Having said that, I thought we were talking App World Apps, because that makes things a little harder if we include sideloaded apps.

You're right @Chaplain_Clancy. My Kindle app is my one lone holdover from when I sideloaded.
However it is the only way that I can get books from the local library. But I have to trigger the download on the library site, then go online to Amazon/Kindle thru my PC which is a strange log in, download it, transfer to the Playbook, and then I can read it. Actually I just don't do it anymore - but wish there was a better way for libraries.

I can live fine without them all.

Ones I really like to have,
Files and folders
Pic shop
What's up

And if we ever get a multi messenger that doesn't time out when it is not the focus it would be that.

There is a snazzy tip calculator built into the PB calculator @jafobabe.

Alnamvet68

Who needs a tip calc....just multiply 0.067397745976675775 times the total, and divide by 2.0099900087878577, and round off to the nearest 10 thousantdh; easily done in one's head. :-SS

Chadd

I just do 20% for good service and 10% for bad. No calc needed. I will seek out a manager and tell them about good food or service but keep my mouth shut about bad.

jafobabe

I got that one too @Chadd. Just wanted to support our Devs. When you have to split the tab, it helps with the App I have. Fast and fair.
But thanks for the headsup!!

@kbz1960 Since you have PicShop, can you tell me if it allows you to add text to pictures? I need to find an app so I can take a picture then add text labels to identify items in the picture.

Thanks. :)

kbz1960

@Stewartj1 yes you can

glassofpinot

Thanks to everyone who posted here with a great varied list of apps. I don't seem to know/find Playbook apps as easily as for my phone, so this really helps. Thanks,

@glassofpinot on good way of keeping up with apps on the playbook is to checkout the Games and Apps "new arrivals" every day.

Except the new arrivals are always ebooks..

eBooks ^:)^
