Appendix
DRIOD App Guide
This appendix includes information on apps you can download and install for your
DROID. We’ve included QR codes, so you can use a barcode scanner app on your
DROID to navigate directly to a given app. Read Chapter 17, “Exploring the Android
Market,” for more information on QR codes.
CAUTION: We want to make you aware that apps may change frequently. Some of the apps
listed in this guide will have been updated, others may be gone altogether, and new and
improved ones added by the time you read this book. Please use the apps listed in this guide as
a starting point to become familiar with what is possible and help you find some useful apps.
Document Tools
If you work in an office, you may need to deal with
documents. At the time of publication, there are no
solutions to reading Microsoft OneNote on Android. That
may come in the future, but for now we recommend using
Evernote instead.
Of the document-management software we tested,
DataViz’s Docs to Go and QuickOffice Mobile Suite from
QuickOffice were the most stable and offered the best
interfaces for both viewing and editing documents.
However, you may have different results with different
types of documents, so the best approach is to use free
trial versions of apps that interest you and compare how
well these apps display the types of documents you
typically use. Docs to Go allows some editing and
formatting, and it will even handle DOCX files. It’s not a
replacement for a full-sized word processor, but it is a
good complement to one.
