what is going on everybody I am John Ritter from TechnoBuffalo we did a video earlier where I listed my favorite apps for iOS and I am back with the follow-up to that my favorite apps for Android before I jump in I want to thank our sponsor LastPass making videos like this and content on the channel possible I hope you support them like you support us chances are you're probably already familiar with LastPass they are the best password management options available anywhere on the internet with apps across desktop for mobile for iOS and Android and an awesome Chrome extension as well if you got a password like stuck to your monitor or using password one two three four you are in serious danger and it's time to modernize and LastPass can make everything just a lot easier for you they've totally gotten rid of the trouble of looking for passwords and kind of anxiety around getting locked out of accounts with LastPass didn't have to write or remember or even worry about resetting any passwords every time you want to log in they keep track of all your passwords so you can just like stay normal and sane to focus on whatever it is you want to do and because it's your passwords you want to make sure they're safe the vault is safe LastPass themselves never have access to any of your password information you can also set up a two-factor authentication on your account as well which I use think it's probably just a good rule of thumb let's say at the end of the day it boils down to making your life easier and making your information safer two things that I am all about easier and safer if you're not using LastPass if you're still remembering your passwords using the same password for everything it's time to get smart it's time to modernize check out LastPass you're really gonna like it there's a free and a premium version as well so I want to give a big THANK YOU to LastPass for supporting TechnoBuffalo supporting the channel and sponsoring this video allowing us to make good content if you care about security and keeping your passwords and info safe and you should check out LastPass link to them down below let you download the apps anywhere you want so most the time in my car I spent either listening to audiobooks or podcasts I like I like my talk radio and I'm always looking for a new and better podcast app but I keep coming back to the classic especially on Android and it's just it's Google's podcast app this might seem like an obvious thing but a lot of people are in love with their third-party podcasts she tried what Google has to offer it's got a really clean design you can subscribe to podcast you want to stay up to date on all from in the app and also it'll sync between devices you don't really lose your place at all and probably my favorite things like give me recommendations so I can pick up new podcasts maybe I didn't know before so tell us different date on my sports teams which is sadly mostly all that I listen to we get a lot of packages here a TechnoBuffalo and keeping track of what I've got coming what I've got going and when it's arriving is important so a good like package tracking app something that I always have on my phone and I started liking parcel track more recently there's a free version there's a $2.99 premium version as well so you can try it aside if you want to pay for the premium features but it does exactly we'd expect except it does it really well so first it worked with all major carriers obviously you need that to function you get push notifications for status updates a dedicated email address so you can forward the livery email so they're always automatically added to the app that's really helping them to manually put in track numbers just forward an email and you're good to go and listen this next one you guys might make fun of me for it but I use it all the time and you should chew if you're not it's Android auto perhaps the best feature of Android auto is you don't need an Android auto capable head unit you can use it right on your phone and it makes life way easier ways is my BAE and I love the fact that I can use it anywhere I go in a way that's easy for me in the car I see information at a glance if you have a head unit that works with Android auto then this is gonna be even better for you I think one of the coolest features probably is that you can set it to launch when it pairs with your car's Bluetooth automatically will go in to Android auto give you big buttons big strike points not kind of like fiddling with your phone and making driving unsafe reply to messages get access school assistant it's really helpful and I'm using it much more than I thought and I love Android auto so much that's one of the reasons I've been using an Android devices and much more reasonable when it comes to Twitter there aren't that many third-party apps that are still working but Talon Talon about Jam and I've been loving talent for for a real long time and it boils down to two words and I'm a sucker for night mode it's got it it works well I like the UI it's easy to use you get custom pages for what you want to see so you on track different topics which is kind of why I like I could track entertainment I got tracked sports I can track tech just makes things easy for me to use so talyn's what I go to work so perhaps the best icon of all these apps is Boost for reddit if you're big into reddit and you know what time the narwhal Bacon's this is the app that you want to try and like all of these it's a really clean design I like the customizable interface with different themes or colors get different subreddit view modes content filters and it makes browsing reddit easy and I find myself wasting way more time on the reddit edge of threads and perhaps is good for me and good for my wife now I tell jokes my kids just look at me and go which is sadly not a joke but if your bigoted to read it it's an app you should absolutely check out so this is a bit awkward I want to put a weather app in here and I picked weather timeline because I love it and then what we're editing the developer was like peace out we're not gonna be developing and supporting in fact are gonna pull it from Google Play so let me tell you about dark sky so there is a free version which is pretty full-featured I've opted to pay $2.99 a year for the full complete versions I like to support the developer and I get the panga for a weather app you know maybe not your jam but if you decide that you want to opt for it you're gonna get some really incredible awesome features it's obviously a lot of weather apps will give you local weather in your city but dark skies getting even the weather like down to your streets which is pretty awesome sometimes there are micro climates and if you move temperatures change now you know if you should wear a t-shirt or a sweatshirt it also gives you all the other information you'd expect and want like rain humidity in the heat index you get notifications too it's gonna rain so that's helpful you can't temperature cure status bar it's got some pretty awesome widgets and it looks really good so can you want to support the developer you can there's a free version if you choose not to it's all pretty good I like my weather apps they're important to me and I think that you should give a shot so what they pick my favorite apps I've got a ton more flashy apps like if a visually absent I use day in and day out chances are you probably know about a lot of these maybe they're already on your phone perhaps you're not using them as often as as you should and I think these are my favorite apps and I I just use all the time so I wanted to share them with you but what are your favorite apps you got to pick your five apps that you go to all the time even if it's things like messages or Chrome it can be simple there's no harm in those apps that you use all the time I like to know leave in the comments down below to let us know until next time I'm John R Ettinger and TechnoBuffalo you
