    Cool Apps/Programs

    I'm sure everyone's got their favourite mobile apps and computer programs etc. Thought I'd start a thread for suggestions to share with other TWFers.

    Start the ball rolling. Ever had the message "This content is not available in your country/geographic location"
    I used to get it when wanting to watch F1 news clips in the UK. Maybe you want to watch catch up TV in the US, UK etc and get that message also.

    There's a very cool extension to your web browser that lets you watch programs in another country. It's multi browser/operating system. It's called Hola, is free and simple to use and can be found here

    Ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what star/planet that was?

    App 'The Night Sky' uses the GPS in your phone to name the different things in the sky (that's as technical as I can get)

    Night Sky Lite is free,

    IIRC the full bottle version is $1.99

    You mean to say they expect you to be productive while hey are paying you rather than watching sport on the net? Next thing you know they'll expect you to turn up sober as well!!

    Pandora is a good music app. You start off with a genre or pick some music and then it plays similar random music which you can like or dislike and then it works out what you like and only plays that with an occasional red herring dropped in.

    Tank Hero is a good game
