Sat, September 17, 2011: I Must Run!
Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Sat, September 17, 2011 is I Must Run!!
Application Description:
The spotlight is on you as you leap from rooftop to rooftop
You've broken out of prison. Your wife is in danger, and you have to reach her as quickly as possible. But the journey will be long and arduous. You better run, run like the wind in this fast-paced game for Android.
Leaps and Bounds
From the very beginning, this game will challenge your timing and reflexes. There's no slowing down as you sprint over rooftops, through subway tunnels, and across construction sites. You'll even have to flee through the suburbs.
Like a grasshopper, you can jump many times your height. Like a prizefighter, you can destroy objects in your path with one power-packed punch. And like a runner stealing second base, you can slide and avoid hazards that will stop you in your tracks.
Navigate six challenging, sharply rendered environments
Intuitive Controls
I Must Run! is a two-handed, side-scrolling game with simple controls. You jump, punch, and slide by tapping different areas of the screen. Tap once on the right side for a regular jump. Tap and hold to soar like Michael Jordan.
Some of the gaps you must clear are quite big, but you'll get extra points if you land near the edge. Destroying objects will also earn you points. If you fail to punch or miss, you'll smack into the obstacles and slow down, making it harder to execute a long jump. Every time you die, you'll have to restart at the beginning of the level.
Your ultimate goal is to reach the city center and save your wife. Keep an eye on the clock, because you only have 24 hours to complete your mission. Post your best scores to the high-score board. This compelling game will have you up nights, playing again and again until you master it.

Sun, September 18, 2011: Greedy Spiders
Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Sun, September 18, 2011 is Greedy Spiders!
Application Description:
This hungry spider is looking for dinner!
The Bugs Need Your Help!
Those Greedy Spiders have set up a diabolical trap for their bug neighbors. With the help of an out-of-the-way bar, a sign, a few musical instruments, and some clever disguises, they now have the bugs right where they want them: in their webs.
It's up to you to rescue the helpless bugs in this clever and addictive puzzle game. Each turn, you move to stop a spider from advancing on their hapless prey. The spider then responds by crawling along the complex web toward one of their victims. Cut off the spider's path or free the bugs before any of them become dinner!
Free all the bugs, and you'll move on to the next level, where even more await your aid. You'll earn one, two, or three stars for each level, depending on how efficient you were in your rescue. But if a spider catches even one bug, you'll have to try again! But don't worry if that happens; a hint system will help you defeat the spiders on your next attempt.
Your Arsenal Awaits
Your main weapon in the fight to save bugkind: a pair of scissors. Cut the silken strands of the arachnid's web and force them to take another path. Eventually, they'll have no way to get to the bugs, who will then taste sweet freedom.
Of course, it won't always be that easy--that's why you'll need other tools in your insect quest. Fire will burn away all strands coming out of any central node on the web you choose. Decoys will lure spiders away from the real bugs you want to save. Lifelines rescue bugs outright from the web, allowing you to concentrate on the others still trapped.
Fire in the hole!
It's Actually a Big World After All!
The bugs may be small, but their problems are large and difficult. With 128 levels, you'll have your work cut out for you. Seven kinds of bugs add variety to the visuals, and up to three spiders can patrol a web at once, making for a task that may need a master juggler to handle!
As you progress, the webs become more complex, the bugs and spiders more numerous, and the danger level higher. Can you succeed in freeing the bugs, or will those Greedy Spiders be having an insect smorgasbord tonight?

Mon, September 19, 2011: Box It! 2
Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Mon, September 19, 2011 is Box It! 2!
Application Description:
Push the totem statues to the lock mechanism
Progress though 100 sokoban puzzles
Watch out for wood spikes randomly emerging from the ground
What lies beneath the ancient Inca ruins in the mines of Kazarakt remains a mystery, but as legend has it, they hold vast treasures. Follow an ancient Inca trail and help Marv the miner unlock the ruins in this mind-twisting sokoban puzzle game for your Android device. Push rock totems to the lock mechanisms found on the ground. Once all totems are securely in place, the entrance to the ruin opens and awards a treasure. With 100 entrances to open, Marv needs help navigating his way through each puzzle.
Brains and Brawn
You be the brains and let Marv be the brawn. Each puzzle contains a number of locks and totem statues randomly placed among a unique labyrinth design. Marv can push one totem at a time and you must strategically direct him using the arrows. It's easy to accidentally trap poor Marv in a corner or push a statue to a spot from which it can't be moved. Think ahead and count your moves. The less work for Marv the better for your score and bonuses.
In addition to the static, natural obstacles like bushes and other totems, the ancient grounds provide another obstacle to show its disdain for your intrusion attempts. On occasion, wooden spikes emerge from the mystical presence below. They won't do any serious harm, but they'll require Marv to maneuver around them costing more steps and more time.
Even Marv Makes Mistakes
Since every step counts, mistakes can be crucial, but fortunately the undo button lets you step back. You can even step back up to seven paces. You're penalized points for everytime a level is restarted, so do't get frustrated and use the restart button. Using the undo button is the best bet.
Treasures await and these ruins aren't going to unlock themselves. Guide Marv into the deep and mysterious treasure coves and see if you can solve the Inca mysteries in the ruins of Kazarakt.

Tue, September 20, 2011: Warheads
Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Tue, September 20, 2011 is Warheads!
Application Description:
Incoming!
Prepare for DEFCON 1
Missile Command remains one of the all-time great arcade games, and now you can relive the frantic pace of this arcade classic with Warheads. This game places you in the middle of an intense battlefield where your survival depends on quick reactions and shooting skills. Create brilliant displays of fireworks by blasting warheads before they decimate your bases.
Hit that crate!
Warheads Keep Fallin' on My Head
The gameplay is simple but maddening. Blow up incoming missiles by tapping where you want your intercepting missile to detonate. Hitting warheads that are close to each other sets off a chain reaction of explosions that quickly clears out remaining warheads. Sounds easy enough, but the incoming warheads just keep coming, and in greater numbers.
Warheads creates a virtual 3D view of the battlefield. As warheads rain down upon your moon base, your point of view swings around as you defend each sector.
Be sure to hit the important bonus crates that are floating down by parachute. These crates include Ammo (extra missiles), Points (bonus points), Buster (larger explosions for your missiles), and the mighty Nuke (destroys all incoming warheads).
Missile Command, Android Style
View beautiful graphics set to a dramatic score as you protect your base in this chaotic world. Earn achievements and compete with your friends for high scores on worldwide leaderboards brought to you by OpenFeint. Thrill to this souped-up version of an old-school classic, and see if you're fast enough to prevent nuclear annihilation.

Wed, September 21, 2011: Happy Vikings
Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Wed, September 21, 2011 is Happy Vikings!
Application Description:
Let's get to work
So many villages, so little time
Heave ho!
Careful there, twinkletoes!
Let's Get Barbaric In Here
Handy-Games returns to wreak havoc upon the unsuspecting Android gaming community with their latest wild adventure, Happy Vikings. Normally the word "happy" isn't associated with the pillaging and mayhem the Viking raiders inflicted upon medieval Europe, but don't let historical truth dissuade you from this rollicking game of juggling chests of gold, barrels of booze, and legs of mutton. Behind the wacky anime-style animation and jolly Nordic grins is a very challenging game requiring quick reflexes and even quicker logic.
Stack That Booty
Happy Vikings delivers on its jovial title. You're fresh from a successful mission of ransacking monasteries and putting villages to flame. Now you face the challenging task of loading your dragon boat with all the booty you've absconded with. Your Viking band has come up with a very quick loading system that works even better than forklifts. They simply catapult the goods onto the boat!
Your job is to push, carry, and toss the merchandise into proper order. When you push or stack at least three alike items in a row, they vanish, and you rack up the points. What could be easier?
You're On the Clock
Sorry to break it to you, my Norse friend, but this job is tougher than it looks. You have a limited amount of time to get this merchandise stowed away. Each level gets more hectic, with the catapult firing away more and more items. You'll be scrambling faster than a terrified peasant as the stacks of goods get higher and higher.
Rob and Pillage the World
Thank Odin there are plenty of opportunities to hit those combos and earn bonuses. Get your stacking pattern right, and you'll be earning the favor of the gods with awesome lightning bolts and magical runes. Try the marathon Valhalla mode to see how long you can last. Happy Vikings is also integrated with OpenFeint and Facebook. Earn more than 40 achievements, compare scores with Vikings all over the world, and terrorize the civilized world.

Fri, September 23, 2011: MLB.com At Bat 11
Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Fri, September 23, 2011 is MLB.com At Bat 11!
Application Description:
Your team. Your app. MLB.com At Bat 11, the award-winning Major League Baseball application, is live baseball--every pitch from every at bat--everywhere you are. Follow your favorite team all season with comprehensive, up-to-the-moment action.
MLB.com At Bat 11 lets you take your obsession for the national pastime to the next level, so you don't have to miss a single pitch. With access to live video broadcasts from MLB.TV, home and away audio broadcasts for every game, Gameday pitch-by-pitch coverage, in-progress video highlights, a cool "At the Ballpark" feature, and access to all the stats you could ever need, this app is a must-have for any serious Major League Baseball fan.
Take the Ball Game Out to You
It's easy to navigate the many features of this app. The screen opens to a Major League Baseball scoreboard listing the day's games. From there you can go straight to a particular game's coverage by touching a matchup on the screen, or select any of several other options ( News, Standings, Videos, Teams, At the Ballpark, Profile, Settings, and Information) by touching the Home icon in the menu.
Follow Your Favorite Team
With MLB.com At Bat 11's comprehensive, up-to-the-minute coverage, you can follow your favorite team anytime, anywhere. Designate a team as your favorite and you'll see its logo at the top of the Home page--then you can easily check all your team's details, from scores and upcoming matchups to news, video highlights, and tickets.
To get even quicker access to the latest action, set up a widget for your favorite team. Then, with a single touch to your device's home screen, you'll be able to see the current score and any other information you want.
Watch high-quality live video and game highlights
Video Highlights and Full MLB.TV Games
See clear, high-quality video highlights from every MLB game moments after the action has happened. You can access highlights from the app's Videos section, or simply touch any matchup on the scoreboard or team listing in the app to see the hottest plays.
If you're an MLB.TV subscriber, you can access your account to watch live out-of-market games or the Free Game of the Day. That's right--as am MLB.TV subscriber, you can watch any out-of-market game in its entirety, right from your Android device.
(MLB.TV subscription is a paid service, and the cost is not included in the price of this app. To access MLB.TV features, Android devices require a minimum OS of 2.2 and Flash.)
Use ballpark maps to locate food, drinks, restrooms, and more
Chillin' at the Ballpark
Still, let's face it: nothing can top seeing a Major League Baseball game in person. MLB.com At Bat 11 makes the ballpark experience even cooler by showing you what fun features your ballpark has to offer, and where you can find them.
Detailed, level-by-level maps of every MLB stadium make it simple to find your seating section in advance. By touching any of the icons at the bottom of the screen, you'll be able to locate concessions stands, restrooms, ATMs, information booths, and other important ballpark destinations.
Even better, you can see the full menu for any concession stand just by finding it on the map and touching its icon. Whether you're in the mood for a refreshing drink, a classic ballpark hot dog, or a local specialty (such as Seattle's famous Garlic Fries), this app will make it incredibly easy for you to find it.
Once you're at the game, check in to the ballpark to unlock bonus features and expanded video highlights for the game you're attending. Check-in begins two hours before gametime, so you've got plenty of time to get settled in before the first pitch.
Listen to audio broadcasts of any MLB game
Gameday Audio
One of the coolest aspects of MLB.com At Bat 11 is its audio feature. You can listen to any game in the majors--even your home team's games that are subject to video blackout--as it happens.
Being able to access an audio broadcast for any game you wish is like an old-timer's dream come true. There's a deep, in-the-marrow pleasure in hearing a seasoned baseball broadcaster rattle off the play-by-play for your favorite team, and this app's overall audio quality is quite good.
It's easy to listen to a game in progress: Just choose a matchup on the scoreboard, press and hold your finger on that listing, and the Gameday Audio player will pop up. You'll usually have a choice between a few different radio stations, so you can listen to your favorite team's broadcasters rather than the opposition's (which, as any hometown fan knows, is a pretty big deal).
Follow any game pitch-by-pitch
Onscreen Coverage
If you'd rather follow the game's action without listening to an audio broadcast, you can touch a matchup on the scoreboard and open MLB.com Gameday coverage. This brings up a screen that shows a graphic image of a player at bat. Whenever a pitch is thrown, its speed and location are tracked onscreen and shown in relation to the batter's stance. It's a cool way to represent the on-the-field action without actually seeing it happen, and it's visually easy to follow.
At the top of this screen are five tabs which offer various ways to enjoy the game. The graphic pitch-by-pitch coverage is under the Game tab, which always opens first. A Box tab shows the updated box score for the game in progress, and a Field tab shows a bird's eye view of the home field, including the dimensions, position players, and who's currently on base. A Plays tab offers a written description of each play, updated moments after each pitch and nicely organized for easy readability.
Finally, a Videos tab features video highlights from the game. Although it can't replace seeing a game in its entirety, this is a terrific way to see actual footage of the game's big moments.

Application Description:
Your team. Your app. MLB.com At Bat 11, the award-winning Major League Baseball application, is live baseball--every pitch from every at bat--everywhere you are. Follow your favorite team all season with comprehensive, up-to-the-moment action.
MLB.com At Bat 11 lets you take your obsession for the national pastime to the next level, so you don't have to miss a single pitch. With access to live video broadcasts from MLB.TV, home and away audio broadcasts for every game, Gameday pitch-by-pitch coverage, in-progress video highlights, a cool "At the Ballpark" feature, and access to all the stats you could ever need, this app is a must-have for any serious Major League Baseball fan.
Take the Ball Game Out to You
It's easy to navigate the many features of this app. The screen opens to a Major League Baseball scoreboard listing the day's games. From there you can go straight to a particular game's coverage by touching a matchup on the screen, or select any of several other options ( News, Standings, Videos, Teams, At the Ballpark, Profile, Settings, and Information) by touching the Home icon in the menu.
Follow Your Favorite Team
With MLB.com At Bat 11's comprehensive, up-to-the-minute coverage, you can follow your favorite team anytime, anywhere. Designate a team as your favorite and you'll see its logo at the top of the Home page--then you can easily check all your team's details, from scores and upcoming matchups to news, video highlights, and tickets.
To get even quicker access to the latest action, set up a widget for your favorite team. Then, with a single touch to your device's home screen, you'll be able to see the current score and any other information you want.
Watch high-quality live video and game highlights
Video Highlights and Full MLB.TV Games
See clear, high-quality video highlights from every MLB game moments after the action has happened. You can access highlights from the app's Videos section, or simply touch any matchup on the scoreboard or team listing in the app to see the hottest plays.
If you're an MLB.TV subscriber, you can access your account to watch live out-of-market games or the Free Game of the Day. That's right--as am MLB.TV subscriber, you can watch any out-of-market game in its entirety, right from your Android device.
(MLB.TV subscription is a paid service, and the cost is not included in the price of this app. To access MLB.TV features, Android devices require a minimum OS of 2.2 and Flash.)
Use ballpark maps to locate food, drinks, restrooms, and more
Chillin' at the Ballpark
Still, let's face it: nothing can top seeing a Major League Baseball game in person. MLB.com At Bat 11 makes the ballpark experience even cooler by showing you what fun features your ballpark has to offer, and where you can find them.
Detailed, level-by-level maps of every MLB stadium make it simple to find your seating section in advance. By touching any of the icons at the bottom of the screen, you'll be able to locate concessions stands, restrooms, ATMs, information booths, and other important ballpark destinations.
Even better, you can see the full menu for any concession stand just by finding it on the map and touching its icon. Whether you're in the mood for a refreshing drink, a classic ballpark hot dog, or a local specialty (such as Seattle's famous Garlic Fries), this app will make it incredibly easy for you to find it.
Once you're at the game, check in to the ballpark to unlock bonus features and expanded video highlights for the game you're attending. Check-in begins two hours before gametime, so you've got plenty of time to get settled in before the first pitch.
Listen to audio broadcasts of any MLB game
Gameday Audio
One of the coolest aspects of MLB.com At Bat 11 is its audio feature. You can listen to any game in the majors--even your home team's games that are subject to video blackout--as it happens.
Being able to access an audio broadcast for any game you wish is like an old-timer's dream come true. There's a deep, in-the-marrow pleasure in hearing a seasoned baseball broadcaster rattle off the play-by-play for your favorite team, and this app's overall audio quality is quite good.
It's easy to listen to a game in progress: Just choose a matchup on the scoreboard, press and hold your finger on that listing, and the Gameday Audio player will pop up. You'll usually have a choice between a few different radio stations, so you can listen to your favorite team's broadcasters rather than the opposition's (which, as any hometown fan knows, is a pretty big deal).
Follow any game pitch-by-pitch
Onscreen Coverage
If you'd rather follow the game's action without listening to an audio broadcast, you can touch a matchup on the scoreboard and open MLB.com Gameday coverage. This brings up a screen that shows a graphic image of a player at bat. Whenever a pitch is thrown, its speed and location are tracked onscreen and shown in relation to the batter's stance. It's a cool way to represent the on-the-field action without actually seeing it happen, and it's visually easy to follow.
At the top of this screen are five tabs which offer various ways to enjoy the game. The graphic pitch-by-pitch coverage is under the Game tab, which always opens first. A Box tab shows the updated box score for the game in progress, and a Field tab shows a bird's eye view of the home field, including the dimensions, position players, and who's currently on base. A Plays tab offers a written description of each play, updated moments after each pitch and nicely organized for easy readability.

Application Description:
A really cool launcher
CircleLauncher
CircleLauncher: A Widget for Humans
CircleLauncher is a nifty launcher widget that you place on one of your smartphone's homescreens. Choose from a circle, a horizontal or a vertical line. Choosing the circle is kind of a "stream of consciousness" thing; more human, less linear.
CircleLauncher Features
With CircleLauncher, you can place icons of your most-used, favorite apps or functions so they are immediately accessible to launch quickly, without having to scroll through an alphabetical listing of endless, eye-crossing icons. Your app icons are arranged around an eye-pleasing circle for quick recognition and easy launching.
Use the included launcher icons, load your own image, or use an icon from any icon pack (CircleLauncher icon packs and ADW launcher icon packs are supported). If you slide over the icons, they're animated--a little bit mac-like; just try it!
Once installed, to add this widget to your homescreen, press on Home: go to Menu > Add > Widget > CircleLauncher.

Sun, September 25, 2011: Screebl Pro
Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Sun, September 25, 2011 is Screebl Pro!
Application Description:
Customize Screebl to fit your needs
Does your Android device seem to have a mind of its own when it comes to timing out and going blank? Here's the tool you need.
Screebl was created to do exactly one thing: keep your device's screen from locking (turning off) when you're using it. If you've set your screen timeout as low as it can go in the interest of conserving the battery, you know that the result is repetitive screen timeouts whenever you're doing something that doesn't involve touching the screen. Such everyday things as looking at or showing someone a picture, watching a Web page load over a slow connection, or reading a long email. You may have wound up raising the timeout back to a higher value.
Screebl is a background service that monitors the phone's orientation, and based on that orientation decides when to allow the phone's power-saving features to operate. With Screebl, you will never need to worry about the screen blanking again when you are using your phone. If you set your phone down, Screebl will allow the screen to lock. The net result is less power wasted.
"If you're looking for a great way to save battery life with your Android phone, Screebl is your answer. ... A great app idea and executed to perfection." - Best Android Apps Review

Tue, September 27, 2011: Handrite Note
Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Tue, September 27, 2011 is Handrite Note!
Application Description:
Taking digital notes has never been so easy
Clean and clear graphical interface
You're in an important meeting or lecture when suddenly you realize--you forgot your pen or notebook! Or you're at a party and need to take down a phone number or an e-mail address. Don't trust your memory or try to scribble on a dry-cleaning receipt; the Handrite Note app is the solution you need.
The Write Move
Rather than trying to frantically type notes on your device keyboard, Handrite Note allows you to write with your finger right on your Android's screen. Each time you lift your finger, the character or symbol you wrote appears in the notebook interface. When you finish a word, just hit the space bar icon at the bottom of the screen. Hit Return if you want to move down to the next line. If you make a mistake, there's a simple backspace button to delete as many characters as you need to. You can also cut and paste with ease.
Handrite Note doesn't try to "read" your handwriting. Rather, it replicates exactly what you trace on the screen, as with a drawing program. This avoids the pain of having to "train" the app to read your writing, and the inevitable mistakes that occur. It also means you can sketch symbols, numbers, pictures, mathematical equations--whatever you write is instantly recorded digitally for later reference. And notes are saved automatically.
Right at Hand
You know how it goes: you write something down on a slip of paper or pad, then misplace it or don't have it when you need it. Now you can have your notes with you at all times, whether you're on the beach or in the boardroom. The app's time stamp and labeling system allows you categorize, sort, and find your notes quickly and easily.
You can also export your notes with a few taps on the screen. Whether you want to save it to your SD card, send it to yourself or someone else in e-mail, tweet it, post it to Facebook, or another sharing method, a note doesn't have to remain tethered to your Android device. Export in either JPEG or PNG format.
Function and Form
Unlike many notepad applications, Handrite Note allows you to write in style. Create and save different types of "pens," adjusting line thickness and color to fit your needs. Then swap them in and out when needed. You can also choose from 14 different styles of "paper," including beautiful solid hues, notebook lines, and even graph paper. The size of your text and spacing are also adjustable, so you can customize them for easy readability. Make the right choice with Handrite Note for Android.

Fri, September 30, 2011: SportCaster: Pro (Sports, Twitter)
Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Fri, September 30, 2011 is SportCaster: Pro (Sports, Twitter)!
Application Description:
Get the inside scoop from players, writers, and fans in real time
Catch up on scores and standings or join the conversation
You're not just a sports fan--you're a sports fanatic. You want the latest news and scuttlebutt on all your favorite teams, and you want it now, as soon as it breaks. You want SportCaster Pro for Android.
Tweet Tweet
Getting your sports news and information from the paper (what's that?), electronic media (mainstream and slow), or the Web (cluttered and behind) is so 2009. These days, the action is on Twitter, where the writers, players, and coaches communicate directly with the fans and everyone can join in the conversation.
"Hey, Did You Hear?"
SportCaster Pro is an app that connects you directly with this brave new world, bringing you live college and pro sports with a social voice. Got a favorite NFL team? The app lets you flag the team (or teams, if you divide your loyalties) and then generates a Twitter feed with everything related to that team. This includes journalists, bloggers, fans, and those connected directly to the team, all commenting before, during, and after games. Or you can limit the feed to specific hashtags that you enter.
You can also follow a general Twitter feed for the NFL, college football, or a particular college conference. There's even a feed dedicated to tweets by the best fantasy sports experts. Never miss breaking news and be the first among your friends to know what's going on.
Chime In
What could be better than this? How about being able to participate in the discussion without ever leaving the app? When you've got something to say, just hit Compose and share your insights with the world. Easily attach a photo or a video to your tweet. You can also tap on any tweet to reply, retweet, comment, or view the tweeter's profile. Want to pass along news or analysis to your friends? Share a tweet via text message, e-mail, or social networking sites.
Scoreboard, Baby
Of course, SportCaster also features a week-by-week game schedule and brings you all the latest scores and stats, including game recaps, box scores, standings, and rankings. When you tap on a score, you call up a screen that contains this info, but it also has a conversation button so you can see what people are saying about the action in real time. It's like watching the game with a group of very passionate, knowledgeable people--a social scoreboard, as it were. If you love sports and sports talk, once you go SportCaster, you'll never go back.
Note: SportCaster Pro launches with support for both pro and college football. Future versions will include pro and college basketball, hockey, and baseball as those sports begin their upcoming seasons.

Sat, October 1, 2011: Graffiti(R) Pro for Android
Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Sat, October 1, 2011 is Graffiti(R) Pro for Android!
Application Description:
Single-stroke letter drawings make input easy
Simply draw characters on the screen with your finger
Do you find on-screen keyboards annoying and hard to use? Graffiti Pro for Android is an easy-to-learn, stroke-based handwriting recognition system that replaces the on-screen keyboard (also called an input method). Graffiti Pro for Android includes word suggestion, auto-capitalization at sentence start, word learning, and error correction. Graffiti supports Japanese and English input.
Keyboard Who?
If you've got clumsy thumbs and stumble around the keyboard, then you'll be glad to know that with Graffiti, there's no need to type--you simply draw characters on the screen with your finger or a compatible stylus. Graffiti characters are mostly single-stroke drawings that closely match the usual alphabet but are simplified to make entry faster and easier.
Just to Be Clear
The app offers text and numeric screen areas, improving the recognition of your input. Strokes drawn in the text area will only be interpreted as letters; strokes in the numeric area will be translated into numbers. If you've ever used a PalmOS-based PDA, this method will be very familiar to you.
