Smarty Pants

County Plus App ($1.60)

Free version - County

My smarty pants phone (Droid X2) has proven to be so very fun.  And useful, to boot!  Which is good.  The phone itself didn’t cost me all that much, but the monthly data charge certainly needs to be justified. In my mind, at least.

Of course, part of the pleasure right at first was hunting for apps to download. Some have remained and some have not.  Some have proven ever so useful and entertaining, and some ever so lame.

I have discovered the FAOTD (Free App Of The Day) that Amazon offers.  I have even become discerning in what of those I choose to download.  I am not all just oooh free!

I have even bought some.  Three, to be exact.  One was on sale for 10 cents.  I know.  The Guy was perplexed to see that charge…

The other two?  Knitting apps.  Go figure.

The one I would like to talk about (and I am not being paid for this) is called County Plus.  It is a row counter for knitting, and while it took me a bit get intuited with the app, I do believe now that it is the cat’s meow.

It allows me to list my projects and keep track of what it is I want to track on each one, with certain limitations.  Am I tracking increase rows on a raglan sweater, or lace repeats?  I can use the settings to count up or down, and mark the row I am on, or the next row.  And I move to the next row with just a screen tap.  So easy!

I am just putting the word out there for something I have found to be worth what I paid for it, but there is a free version for trying before buying, too. I have linked to both through the Droid Marketplace, but both are available through Amazon, too, I think.

I do not know about you iPhoners.  You are a breed apart and hard to understand...

Don't really have any input for this subject. I still have a dumb phone...makes and receives calls. That's all!

Now see if I can get the word verification....

The app for iPhone that I like the best (not that I use it the most) is the flashlight app. So handy!

I wish I had an app to decode the verification!

My dumb $15.00 phone up and died a couple of weeks ago so I finally got an iPhone--Wouldn't you know that last night it fell out of my pocket into the toilet! I grabbed it and dried it off and put it it in a bag of rice. So far, it's working!

Droid solidarity (Droid Incredible user here)! I'll have to check out County. I've been looking for a decent stitch counting app for a while.

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
