Many cameras today do come with a ‘panorama’ mode. However, this mode always is either right to left or left to right, never allowing vertical or composite images. Additionally, the software that you get bundled with your camera is occasionally not up to the task for ‘stitching’ these photos together.

Now that most of the modern day Android phones come with NFC readers, I was looking for an app that could use the NFC technology and create automated actions based on NFC triggers....

I’ve tried many wireless syncing solutions. AirDroid, Pushbullet, BitTorrent Sync, you name it. Dropbox and similar cloud sync services only work when there’s internet. And they’re a lot slower than local transfer. BitTorrent Sync is great but it has stability issues from time to time. Before now, a quick and easy way to select and send files between devices didn’t exist. I’m talking something that’s fast and requires no setup, login, or authentication....

They buy their devices and leave them alone as far as looks/UI are concerned. There are also users that are indifferent....

alternatives to the native maps app that could provide better performance and experience overall.
