Amazing Apps

Andriod 2.0 and higher also have a teleprompter too.... pretty cool app..

Huge fan of the remote app for Virtual DJ, available on their website. Requires a wifi connection but can be done with an ad hoc network. Only available (last I checked) for the iPhone/iPad.
In the pic below, my set up is upstairs on the left (behind the photog). Segued from seating music to intros to first dance to dinner music using an iPhone and never left the spot I took the picture from.

I just recently bought an ipad 2. I got an app got teleprompter+. I can put in the grand entrance in there and the names will come up in VERY big bright letters and just scroll by. If the speed setting is too fast or slow, it's very easy to change it...or i can just flick it forward or back. For me, it's a HUGE improvement over reading a piece of paper.

You know what's cool? This app you have was probably a few bucks, I'll bet..... but PC teleprompter programs used to sell for $30 - $100 way back when I was needing one.

Now I need to see if there is a teleprompter app for iPad 1.

Another great one is "Where's my Droid?" & "GPS" my Droid"

With this free application downloaded on your Smartphone, if you lose/misplace it this will help you locate it.

Even if your Smartphone is set to vibrate only, using another cellphone, you send the text to your cellphone number "where's my droid" shortly after, your cellphone will start ringing.

"GPS my droid" works the same way, send the text to your number. With another smartphone it will show you a satellite map of where your phone is. You can even zoom in.

Both work perfectly. I have tested it several times just to make sure it works.

Skygrid. Very cool.

I almost started a new thread, then did a search instead.

I recently got SoundHound. I gotta say, it's the best damn free app I ever got.

It's so good that I wouldn't hesitate to pay 99¢ for it. Hell, I might have paid even more!

Does one HAVE to get or buy Soundhound via iTunes?

You can download stuff from Apple's App Store directly to your iPhone without ever connecting the phone to a computer. You just gotta realize that if you never connect, then you won't have a backup of your phone. And, considering that a smartphone is used more as a hand-held computer than a phone, backups become important.

I use Vlingo... AWESOME personal assistant app. I also used to use Dragon on iPhone, and when I had it it was free... don't know if you guys are talking about a different app, or if they started charging for it?
I also have to give a +1 on the Virtual DJ app. I wish there was more functionality to it, like being able to scroll through and use effects... but for $10, its a VERY great MIDI addition.

In the near future I plan on getting another MIDI app since the VDJ one worked so well, I want to see if there is an app that allows assignable buttons and sliders and whatnot.
I also plan on getting FL Studio Mobile or whatever it is called... I hate when I have a great idea for a song and I am not at home, and then I either forget what song I wanted to work on, or forget to do anything entirely. If anyone else is interested in getting it, or seeing how it works, I could post a review of it once I get it.

I use "evernote" a big plus b/w sharing notes and ideas b/w my partners. Also "groupme" is a good shared chat/text app we use to communicate and it doesnt apply against your text costs. Google voice for those who dont want to buy a seperate phone line.

concur with others on Soundhound (find it to be much better than Shazam), and Evernote.

Another one I like, and use a lot is a walkie-talkie type app.....HeyTell. Seems to work well, and saves me from texting so damn much!

Evernote
SoundHound
CamScanner
Splashtop (very cool)
The pre-installed camera & Facebook (post pictures of an event as it is happening)
Square - Credit Card processing
GMail
Google Voice and Voice Choice - I have a google number setup for my DJ business and use voice choice to tell my phone if I dial a client dial from my google voice number, otherwise use my regular mobile number.
And in some way all these are used for my DJ Services
