I like to explore and research new apps.

Amazon Cloud Player is the app I’ve been waiting for. I was using Spotify and paying for the premium feature so I could have some music on my iPhone. I told myself I would use this until Google or Amazon released one of their cloud player apps for the iPhone. Well, that has finally happened thanks to Amazon and the app is pretty freaking sweet. It does an excellent job between the offline and streaming side of things. I’ve only noticed one issue and that is when you go to download a playlist, it downloads the songs, but it doesn’t add the playlist itself to the device. This is a pretty big annoyance to me and I do hope it is fixed shortly. Other than that, it’s amazing and definitely worth checking out.

Snackr is a new app for the iPhone that I’ve been using the past two days. It’s one of my morning apps that I launch to catch up on current news. The app takes your chosen news sources and reads them to you. The apps voice calls itself Alfred, which is a great choice, because I’m Batman, lol. The app can will also pull in the weather and information from Facebook and keep you posted on friends birthdays and what not. I also have it setup to update me on NFL scores, but that obviously isn’t working during this time of year, I wish they had the NHL added. I would be definitely taking advantage of that.
