custard~SPARTA~ Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I was given a Kindle Fire for my birthday, I have never had a smart phone so my knowledge of useful apps is non existent. Any apps recommended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MH6~SPARTA~ Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I was given a Kindle Fire for my birthday, I have never had a smart phone so my knowledge of useful apps is non existent. Any apps recommended? Wifi Analyzer--shows signal strengths of nearby wireless networks in real-time. Walk through the house with it and figure out the best spot to put that Wifi repeater. PDANet - Use this in conjunction with a computer, allows you to use your 3G/4G connection (if the Kindle Fire has one) on your computer. So if you don't have access to a wireless network or hard line, you can still get your interwebs fix. Other than that, I mainly just download games.

NoScream~SPARTA~ Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I was given a Kindle Fire for my birthday, I have never had a smart phone so my knowledge of useful apps is non existent. Any apps recommended? Ok your in luck, I have Galaxy Note 10.1, like the kindle fire it's based on the Google Android Operating system (OS). So apps I use on the note will not all be suitable for you as the note has a s-pen to interact aswell as the touch keyboard & finger stuff. I got this because it was on special for £265. I was going to get a Asus transformer infinity but @ £500 this is half price & very close with features. See: this thread http://www.legionofspartans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9630 my post with alot of good apps http://www.legionofspartans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8636&view=findpost&p=74609 The Android Day: ALARM CLOCK PLUS https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vp.alarmClockPlusV2&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS52cC5hbGFybUNsb2NrUGx1c1YyIl0.
