Amazon Free App of the Day

Cross platform useful, being tied to Adobe not so much

I learned that lesson on my PC. One of my happiest moments was when I replaced Adobe Reader with Foxit Reader. Not only was Adobe huge, but I always had to wait for a 20 minute update to take place when I wanted to look at a PDF.

Undecided about this one. It allows you to show photos and videos directly from your tablet to your DLNA TV. It has 3 1/2 stars but it is skewed by 1 star ratings from people that said you needed to log in to FB. Others said you could skip that option. Others gave it a low rating because their tv is not compatible. If you have a DLNA tv (Amazon lists a bunch of brands) this looks like it should work fine, but I haven't tried it yet.

Call of Combat: Air Assault is the 1/21 app.

Become a pilot of the worlds most elite helicopter. Your objective is to shoot down and destroy as many enemy fighters as you can. Pick up power-ups along the way to become even more powerful. Be very cautious, one wrong move can be costly.

I've got a feeling JB's going to like this one. Especially after cashing a few of his paychecks.

Wow, did you check the reviews? One 5 star and ten 1 star. Apparently you don't even do your own shooting.

Our temperatures dropped 30° in the past day. High in single digits and wind chill around -10°. WC tonight -25°. I figured your weather is probably even worse and ANY game is better than going outside. Keep Ticki warm too!

A little late for review purposes but I downloaded this one on potential alone. I opened the app but didn't use it. However, it did detect my tv instantly when it opened. could be great for sharing youtube from the phones and tablets if it works.

I downloaded it too. It hasn't recognized my tv yet, which is weird because I can use the Sony S tablet for a universal remote. Does Bluetooth need to be on?

Spider, we had -12 on the thermometer his morning with WC of -25. Needless to say, we stayed out long enough for Tiki to do her business and came right back in. Strong wind advisory is supposed to end soon. Nice day otherwise.

Brrr and no Pack to keep you warm (49ers!). lol

Your tv needs to be connected to your home network (either via lan or wifi). If it is DNLA compliant then it should be picked up as a media client by the app.

 

[jbenham]

The temp isn't so bad, it's the wind.

I'll have to check the User manual for the tv. I have connected between the tv and the tablet before, so you would think it would be automatic. I can still use the app on the tablet, so it is good for something.

At least he can use his cheesehead to keep his ears warm. Go Niners!

[jbenham]

Okay I can do this. It's only 4 pieces. Where's the hint button?

Go Ravens!

Wait a sec, that's not even the right division. Don't you at least want to be able to say you lost to the champs?
