And so have Neatly and SnipSnap, for that matter.
It’s been a busy week in the Android world, especially for Google. But they’re not the only ones debuting and updating apps in the Google Play store this week. Remember Neatly from an app roundup last month? It’s now in “final beta” and available for download on the Google Play store (it was previously a side-loaded-only application). Coupon clippers will also be happy to know that SnipSnap has finally made its way over to Android from iOS.
Google Keep, Free
In case you missed the news, Google revealed its note-taking service this week. Its launch had me wondering if I’d be dropping Evernote sometime soon, but it doesn't look like I'll be jumping ship just yet. While Keep has already become a part of my daily routine and might actually end up replacing Microsoft's One Note for mobile note-taking, it doesn't offer the same notebook cataloging capabilities as Evernote, nor does it allow me to tag notes—I need this latter functionality for my collection of recipes. Of course, the service is only a few days old and will likely receive more updates as it evolves. For now, its included widget has made it one of the better to-do list makers on Android.
Google Currents, Free
Although Google won’t keep Reader around after the summer, its Currents app will most likely continue to receive updates. This week, Google added audio support to Currents, enabling users to listen to podcasts and playlists from within the app where available.
SnipSnap, Free
SnipSnap is for coupon addicts or anyone who just wants to save a few dollars at the store. Simply snap a photo of a paper coupon and its bar code to use it next time you're at the store. SnipSnap then converts all of that text and bar code into a digital coupon that can be scanned at the register. Users can also open the Discover functionality to look for coupons that have been scanned and shared by other SnipSnap members. And there are a lot of useful coupons: in the first five minutes of using the app, I’d already acquired three different coupons for Target.
Neatly, $2.00
While the beta version of Neatly was free, the stable version of the app will cost you $2. Neatly calls itself the “smart Twitter client” because it can customize your timeline based on your activity. The more you use it, the more it learns what tweets actually interest you, so you’re faced with fewer tweets you don’t actually care about. You can also use Neatly to filter out tweets by topic and mute nuisance tweeters who might follow you, or quickly glance at what your feed is buzzing about.
