13 Android apps for mobile journalists - TNW Apps

Fri, 05 Aug 2011 16:15:01 UTC +00:00

The Next Web

Contrary to popular belief, the 21st century journalist isn’t all that different to the hacks of days gone by. The skills required today are broadly similar to what was needed 50 years ago – they must have meticulous attention to detail, leave no stone unturned as they strive to unravel the truth behind a story. And above all else, they must be ethically-inclined…in theory, at least. But the tools of the trade today are very different. Out is the payphone and little black book of contacts, and in is the Twitter account, smartphone and other gadgets that can transform a simple hack into an editor, reporter, cameraman, photographer…and whatever else may be required to submit a story. And in a week it was revealed that Android has almost half of the total smartphone market sewn up, here’s a look at a handful of Android apps that can help journalists harness the Read More

Google Maps - Stephen Shankland's 10 favorite Android apps (CNET 100) - CNET Reviews

Product reviews - Electronics reviews, computer reviews & more - CNET Reviews

One of the areas where I find Android head and shoulders above the iPhone is navigation, and Google's Maps app is why. I use it plenty--finding out where I am when I emerge from the subway, looking for a nearby restaurant, even showing strangers where to go when they flag me down asking for directions. All that is great new stuff I couldn't do with a phone a few years ago, but it's the navigation component that spared me a couple hundred bucks I otherwise would have spent on a sat-nav system. The navigation shows a virtual view of the road as I drive, warning me of upcoming intersections and telling me which exit I need to take off the roundabout. I use it for walking, too. Clicking the locate-yourself button in the upper right helpfully toggles from a bird's-eye view to one showing your own orientation and perspective. The app Read More

How I lost 100 lbs with Android – Android and Me

Fri, 20 May 2011 15:39:20 UTC +00:00

Android and Me

If you weren’t aware, Angie and I got married a couple of weeks ago. We had a long engagement (two years), which afforded me plenty of time to work on my pre-wedding goal: weight loss. And it was a tall order- I wanted to hit 200 lbs for the big day, a weight I hadn’t seen the underside of since middle school. A couple of years ago, at my heaviest, I weighed 305 lbs (if I’m being honest, it could have gone higher- that was just when I quit weighing myself). I was living with my brother, Taylor, and a friend from school and we didn’t have the best eating habits (to say the least). We ate out a lot and when we cooked for ourselves the menu consisted mostly of meat. I’d battled weight since childhood, but living wild with a couple of dudes pushed me over the edge. In Read More

Channel 6 News » California man escapes speeding ticket thanks to Android app

Channel 6 News

1 March 2011 1,231 views No Comment BY: BNO News SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA (BNO NEWS) -- A California college student successfully appealed a speeding ticket thanks to an application on his Android phone, according to a KABC-TV news report on Tuesday. KABC-TV reported that Sahas Katta, a student at the University of California, was given a speeding ticket for going 40 miles per hour in a 25 miles per hour zone. Katta, however, said he never speeds and was sure the radar gun was wrong. The student went to court to appeal the ticket, and won. "I think the evidence I presented was very new and refreshing, and it is cutting-edge technology. Clearly, this had not come up in his court before, which is why he made a statement afterward declaring me not guilty," said Katta to KABC-TV. The evidence Katta provided was data from one of his Android applications called Read More

Google open-sources My Tracks GPS Android app | Deep Tech - CNET News

Tue, 25 May 2010 00:00:00 UTC +00:00

Technology News - CNET News

Google has released the source code for an an Android phone GPS program called My Tracks, which lets people record where they've been, log journeys in Google Docs, and post their trip maps online. "You can expect My Tracks to become better than ever with the contributions we hope it will receive from other developers, and also that many applications which work side-by-side with My Tracks will be written," Google engineer Rodrigo Damazio said in an e-mail list posting Friday. "For instance, one could easily build an application for tracking fitness activities, geocaching, aviation, and so on." The move means also means enthusiasts can help with translation and programmers can create spin-offs for which they can charge money if they desire, he added. The software is governed under Google's preferred open-source license, the Apache License 2.0. My Tracks lets people track their location on a map; the software shows a variety Read More

Great in the city, wouldn't record in the country I love this app for tracking my walks and bike rides. I've found it very accurate in the city, but not so usable outside of the city. In the app it says it locates your phone using cell towers and wi-fi signal, maybe that's why it didn't work for me in the country? At any rate, for me it does everything I want and more. Love the way I can upload to Google Maps. This is way better than my bike computer.

Greg

Great App! Great App! Works great every time. I would like to suggest a couple of the common features that other apps offer to be added. The ability to track someone else’s progress (a live friends type feature with connection to a pc possible). We go on long runs in a rural area and it would be a nice feature. The music interface functions that others offer would also be nice. Love the interface with Google docs it helps me keep track of runs.

bcquickstep

Too many bugs, missing obvious features. First off, the app doesn't auto-center itself. So, if you travel outside of the area you start the app in, you have to manually move the screen to see where you are. Second, the red track-line doesn't draw itself in realtime. It only updates once you stop recording. Then, once you stop recording, you cannot resume where you left off. You can only start a new route (needs a resume option). Also, BIG problem is that there is no option to shut off the screen timeout.

Sina

I use this for biking and it's excellent. However I have 2 issues. Recently I can't upload to Google Docs, very annoying. And second if I export tracks and then import the statistics later they are not the same however only marginally different. For example, road bike reported 27.43 miles before export and after the import it reports on 27.0 miles. Max speed of 27.4mph before export, after import only reports 22.4 mph. Super weird.

I use My Tracks (v1.1.15 on HTC MyTouch) daily on bicycle rides. I track my distance and time to make sure I am getting the necessary exercise every day. The program has all (or nearly all) of the features I could ask for from a free App - mapping, chart of speed and elevation, etc. One glitch (which appears to be common to other GPS) is that if you begin moving before the initial position fix is complete, it can take a long time to start tracking - sometimes 5 minutes or more. I gave My Tracks five stars for its usefulness and functionality as free software. I suspect that My Tracks might have caused my phone to reset at least once (it was the only app running at the time) but I am not certain enough to downgrade my rating.

@ndrio

Before I use the app I saved a part of the map (16km) using the option for offline maps in the google labs. Although I could see the saved map in "Google Maps" app, I didn't have it inside the "My Tracks" app. Therefore in order to have a map during your ride, you have to be online (3G or WiFi). Of course when you connect back to internet then you have your ride on the newly downloaded map. It would be really nice to use the cache of the maps so that there is also offline functionality. 4 stars at the moment but definitely a 5 star if you add offline support.

The mapping in Google tracks seems the most accurate of the trackers I have tried (Tracks, Endomondo, and TrackMyRide) and it has a nice net altitude gain calculator time and mileage seem accurate so I assume the altitude and calories are too. Over all VERY easy to use intuitive. I have not found any Google web site to use to track the rides or exercise performance or regularity. I have also not found a way to pause the tracking feature for coffee and potty breaks. Another small gripe is that the mapping in Google maps app shows bike routes and paths but Google tracks does not, seems like an obvious feature and would be hugely handy to have all in one. Google is gathering allot of bike information as the maps with bike lanes and routes that are pretty good, why not let us see the maps in the app and give us a way to look for and downloaded bike rides to our phone in the tracking app for when we are traveling out of town or in a new area? GREAT app!!

A bit tempramental. Works fine sometimes, today I walked from The Cotswolds to Africa! Obviously I didn't. Elevations mad... Stratospheric! And the track looked like mad scribble. A pause function during recording would be good. Ate up loads of battery power, phone wanted charging after 2 hours. Started out on full. *edit* not working at Gall now. A simple walk round town became scribble, very disappointing. Greedy on battery and no real record of 'my tracks' Better GPS positioning required I think. :-(

I installed this app, as well as a few others, and went running several times using simultaneously all of them. On my Motorola Atrix 2 they all worked well, tracking and showing all info related to the workout and the route. They all connect with a website on the internet where you can share your routes with others. The apps that I tried are: “Endomondo” (the free version), Google’s “My Tracks” (free!), “MapMyRun”, “RunKeeper”. I believe the choice it comes down to personal taste and preference related to the graphical interface, as all do quite a nice job. Maybe it’s just something peculiar to Atrix 2, but MapMyRun showed semnificatively higher battery usage. I used the apps with and without data enabled. They track in both cases, but you won’t be able to see the map without a data connection. In the future, I think I will keep using Endomondo and My Tracks at once, for comparison and double checking.

Just went on a walk with the kids. Left the phone in the stroller's cup holder in full view of the sky. According to this app, we walked 8 miles at an average speed of 10 mph. Reviewing the track, it looks like a child drew the route, with scribbles all over the road. This program should recognize when a person is walking down a road and adjust the readings, but it doesn't. It takes every junk data point and adds it to the final tally, rendering the data useless. HTC Inspire 4G

The Program is very helpful however there seems to be some inconsistencies between Max speed and the maximum speeds shown on the graph. On the graph the blue numbers show that I did not exceed 20 mph during my entire biking trip yet in the statistics overview page it says my my max speed was 27mph. I don't know which is right. In subsequent trips I have noticed that the max speed always has this inconsistency. It is not just my HTC Sensation 4G, since a coworker checked his tracks and found the same apparent inconsistency. If this problem is fixed I will give the program 5 stars easy!

Samantha

This is phenomenal! I do a lot of hiking in the Western Rockies, preparing for a summer of summiting 14ers, and this app let's me track where I've been and stats about that hike. That being said, here are some additions I would love to see: -ability to add photos to a waypoint marker, -option to overlap multiple/display several maps at once on the screen -on the map display while recording a track, show speed, total distance covered thus far, and direction of travel. Thanks for making such a cool app!

Matt

Pros: Powerful, lots of stats, send to Google Maps. Has been fairly reliable, on one occassion dropped out huge parts of my ride despite clear a sky view and full charge. The map ended up being useless with huge missing chunks, but this was an exception. Cons: The language and overall user experience is rough in this app, it could use a lot of improvement on the sharing FROM this app TO other places. Getting an email to yourself of the map links takes too many steps, language is weird like "Send to Google". Have the authors of the app ever tried to share a map of a bike ride to Google+ ? It doesn't put a thumbnail of the map, or an interesting icons, it lets you select from a strange icon file. People who made this app, please improve WHAT shows up on the network or phase you share it. Social sharing seems barely enabled, not optimized. Also UI does not conform to other Android design patterns, it's an oddball interaction paradigm. Basically needs an UI and usability overhaul. Summary: Good for a free app with geeky stats features, needs an update

Rob

This is a great app! I expected to have to try a few of the 'log my run' apps out there, but this blew me away on first use, and I can't think of anything else I'd want. So simple - just pick km or miles the first time you load it - and then hit "start recording" when you're ready to run, and "stop recording" when you're done. The voice telling you you're pace every 1km is a great bonus, as the screen on my phone is tricky to read whilst moving in sunlight. Finally, the upload of the data to a google spreadsheet and maps worked flawlessly.

John

This is the easiest to use tracks app that I've seen. It also integrates exceptionally well with other Google applications for easy saving and sharing of tracks. But it always seems to inflate the distance and speed at least when I use it for walking and hiking. I recorded a track earlier today and My Tracks shows it as 2.25 miles. I uploaded the same track to Google Maps which shows it as 1.8 miles. Google Earth also shows the track as 1.8 miles. I've also compared tracks with My Tracks and other track recording apps and My Tracks always seems to be inflated.

Godsfunambulator

The Program is very helpful however there seems to be some inconsistencies between Max speed and the max speeds shown on the graph. The graph shows that I did not exceed 20 mph during my entire bike trip yet in the statistics overview page it says my my max speed was 27mph. I don't know which is right. In subsequent trips I have noticed that the max speed always has this inconsistency. It is not just my HTC Sensation 4G, since a coworker checked his tracks and found the same apparent inconsistency. If this problem is fixed I will give the program 5 stars easy! Update: I can ride a bike over 100 miles now! The program reported that I went unearthly speeds and distances. I used a Bluetooth speakerphone during that trip which I am wondering caused interference with the GPS...

Cesar

I like this app, it works okay for the most part. I really like how it tracks your speed, distance, total and moving time, and average speed. I use it to map my bike rides and to input all the data since I upload the GPX file. There is one major problem though which I hope will get fixed in the next update, which is really hampering and degrading from its use. A lot of times it would go haywire and set a marker or track me going over 100,000 MPH and on the map it says I was in the ocean off of Africa. It really bothers me when this happens since it renders my data useless. I would also like to see a "Pause Recording" button for whenever I stop so it doesn't track me. Also I believe that it tracks me and uses my GPS even when I am not using the app which also bothers me because it is using my battery for no reason. Please fix these issues Google it really is a good app and I don't want to have to remove it because of these stupid things.

Andrew

I love this app, however I can't seem to get any reasonable readings out of it lately. I went for a jog on a flat path around a small pond (with a clear view of the sky the entire time) and it had me speeding out into the wilderness and back. It recorded my top speed at 44MPH!!!! While I wish it were true, it's not. My run last night, according to Google Maps was 3 miles dead on, MyTracks recorded that I had traveled 4.72 miles. I don't know why it doesn't work as well as it used to, but it would be nice to get the accuracy back. Right now my tracks are nothing more than a novelty since the speed, elevation, and distances are wildly inaccurate. Please fix this Google, I really used to love this app!!!

Leon

I used this to track my location while I did the Three Peaks Challenge which involves hiking up & down mountains in the middle of nowhere for 24 hours straight. It worked almost perfectly except for a small blip in Scotland where it didn't seem to record anything; I was really surprised at how little battery it used too. The option to export to Google Maps, Fusion Tables & Spreadsheets is a lovely addition too. All in all, great app!

davidrbanes

Really good app to keep track of the aforementioned things. I always use this app to keep track of my hikes with my friends and my bike rides with my family. I also use it to track my runs when I run with my dogs. The only thing I wish you could do is edit the recorded tracks for those times when you accidentally forget to turn off the app. Really love the integration with Google Earth so you can playback you tracks.

Jim Minatel

Yesterday I ran a 1/2 marathon - that's 13.1 miles. MyTracks showed I ran 14.1. While I might not have hit the shortest distance through every turn, there's no way I ran an extra mile - maybe an extra few hundred feet. What's most disappointing is that I used this app all through my training mostly on new unmeasured routes and obviously it was misleading me. I've seen many other reviews now citing inconsistent or plain wrong data. I'll be switching to a different distance and route tracker.
