Class Buddy Pro Review


Is it already that time of your college semester? Exams starting to creep up and homework assignments possibly past due? When you have between 15 and 18 hours during your semester, it's easy to lose track of what test is coming up and which assignments have to be turned in when.

With Class Buddy Pro, you can organize each course you take within the respected term or semester. You can schedule class meeting times and input all of your professors information so you don't need to pull out that damn class syllabus to figure out what the office hours are.

One of the best features of Class Buddy Pro is the ability to input assignments, quizzes, and exams and keep track of your grades. You can even tell the app what weight the certain assignment/quiz/exam will be towards your final grade making it easier for you to know how you are doing in the respected class.

A great extra feature of Class Buddy Pro is that it can auto-sync with your Google calendar. It also comes with a customizable Home screen widget.

You've already spent an arm and a leg on tuition, so why not drop an extra $1.50; it'll totally be worth it!

SoundHound Review


Upon launching SoundHound, you are greeted with a simple and easy to use GUI. The main screen offers you options to "Tap Here" to identify a current song, or you can press "Title or Artist" to speak an artist, or song title into your phone or, search with text. There are also 2 menus at the bottom of the app that include; History (displays your recent searches) and Whats Hot (displays what people are searching most for).




One of the coolest features I have seen so far is that wheen you press the "Tap Here" for "What's that song?" you can even hum the song that you know and SoundHound will find the song for you (considering you are humming the right tune).

An even cooler feature, if SoundHound finds a song that is in your music library as well, it will have an icon next to the song so you can hear it from your own library.


Here is the official SoundHound Features list:


  • Just hold your phone up to a speaker, and SoundHound names the tune in as little as five seconds



  • It even works if you sing or hum the melody.



  • Instant lyrics and lyrics text search for most songs - whether you find the song with SoundHound or have it in your Android device.



  • The world's first ever combined "My Music" and online search: when your SoundHound search results match a song in your music library.



  • Charts of the hottest songs, just grabbed songs, and SoundHound's much-anticipated "Underplayed" list.



  • Groundbreaking new design with instant access to previews, bbios, top songs and YouTube videos.



  • Play a free preview or YouTube video without leaving SoundHound\

Now I've tried out SoundHound and found it to be a feature rich and easy to use app to identify my tunes. I personally love the hum the song feature, even though I can't hum. I do recommend SoundHound to anyone who wants something better than Shazam and willing to drop the much deserved $4.99.

OfficeSuite Pro 5 Review


Smartphones and tablets have made it possible for you to carry your office in the palm of your hand. The mobile office market was generally used by laptops and netbooks, but smarter smartphones have eaten into some of the market.

OfficeSuite Pro 5 features rich mobile office solutions for creating, viewing, and editing document formats such as Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. It also allows you to view PDF files. Word processing, spreadsheets and slideshow presentations are easy with OfficeSuite Pro. The app also includes a File Browser and is integrated with Google Docs.

I'm always on the road and have many forms to fill out using either Word or Excel. With OfficeSuite Pro 5, I have nearly every tool I need built into the app. Creating a spreadsheet was a breeze, and the pinch-to-zoom feature comes in handy. The pinch-to-zoom functionality added a little fluidity to creating documents and spreadsheets.

OfficeSuite Pro 5 does a good job at rendering PDF files rather quickly. Slow enough for me to realize it was rendering, but fast enough not to piss me off. But once the PDF is rendered, it's a smooth ride; even better than Adobe PDF Viewer.

I've used many Android office apps, and OfficeSuite Pro 5 has no true competitor! They all pale in comparison to OfficeSuite Pro 5.
