I have TuneIn as well (and you can record with it for offline playback) but prefer Slacker because it's extremely customizable. I don't have any problems with georestrictions, our music choices in Canada are pretty much the same as in the US, that I can tell.
I can select specific artists/styles and create my own stations and can "cache" up to about 20 stations for offline listening during those road long trips from Montréal to Toronto ... It's not really "radio" in the same sense as TuneIn... I've had it on my BlackBerry and still use it on my PC, my iPod, and now my Android phone and tablets. Sound quality is excellent. I have a "Plus" account not the Premium.

I have ectaco universal translator for 183 languages app and use it many times per day. It works without 3G and Internet connection. It talks in many languages.
I installed it on all my android devices.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...=com.ectaco.ut

I also use Google map instead of GPS. This app updates the traffic in real time and works much better than Embedded GPS on my Lexus.

My top Apps in no particular order on my Kindle Fire. The list for my Droid 3 is basically the same.

Gmail
Netflix
YouTube
Chess Genius (also DroidFish)
My Fitness Pal
Age of Conquest: Europe
Kindle ebook reader

Bonus App: I use the Fire's Web Browser a lot.

Goodreads is probably my most used app next to my browser.

I just bought TapaTalk I see me using this a lot.

Clipsync was a nice find. DL'ed it and like it, seems useful.

ScotiaBurrell · 09-05-2012, 02:48 PM

MobileRead is the only forum I go to other then Amazon's Romance forum. However I am too addicted to MR that I was using the mobile version of the site and Tapatalk is a 100 times better. Now if it just didn't drain my battery so much.

Another app I used is Out Of Milk Pro. Hubby does the shopping so it's great to have a real time sync. It's not perfect but he has it on his phone and I have it on mine. I can make a list and he gets it when he opens the app. I can add or delete a item on my end and he can do the same. It's a must have for us. I can watch as he crosses out items on his end. Oh I love Technology!

Just the other day I was like where's the banana chips? He says "It wasn't on the list" I say "I know you crossed it off. It was too!" He sighs

It's really great otherwise I would be calling him every few seconds telling I forgot he needs to pick this up. It never fails I always forget to put something down. This list app is a lifesaver for me. Real time Sync is awesome!

Oh forgot to mention you can also use your PC via their website to add stuff to your lists. So if only one person has a device. You can do the same thing with your PC and they will get the updated list on their phone.

My husband doesn't have a smart phone and shhhhh I'm not mentioning the website to him, but my kids would have a mile along list for me!

I could see that. It's just me, hubby and the furbabies. He does the shopping due to my health. He has to have a smartphone. Sometimes he will take pics of items and text them to me to see which one to get.

Technology is grand!
