Agreed. A business model like this is unsustainable. They will either go bust like so many others before them or become no more competitive than the already established services. IMO I would not trust this as my only solution at this time. MC - Site Manager.
It is even worse (or better). They are giving away unlimited storage for a year with the option to purchase 3 years of unlimited storage for $19.99@year.

I would not trust a 1 year old company with a deal that sweet. Too many of these storage sites have gone away.
Though I have had 2 free 50GB ADrive accounts for over 5 years.
I Have just upgraded from a HTC Wildfire S to a Samsung GS3. A couple of great Apps I would like to suggest are as follows:
Music Player and Organizer - JetAudio Basic
File Manager - FX
Im extreemely impressed with these two apps so far!

The best launcher, launch anywhere and anytime.
Skyfish swipe launcher

I would like to suggest Switchapps as the best app switcher. Kindly review the app in your next app review.
hey evrybody am new to android so can any one give me any ideas where to find free apps for my galaxy S3 specially video accelerators,video downloaders and spying apps
tnx
here are 2 spy cam apps, i use tinycam app so i can view my home web cam set up with yawcam , when i'm out and about i can view my webcam from my phone ( i use it to check on my dogs )
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alexvas.dvr
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pas.webcam&feature=sea...
but there are loads of other free spy apps on google play
All of the apps listed above are free since at Gizmo's we only discuss free software. If you don't see what you want in the above lists, you could always search Google's Play store - there are many more free apps there as well.
Swipedia
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antheu.swipedia
After use it, I'm sure it is the best wikipedia client.
I'm glad we have airdroid reviewed on gizmo's because I'm loving it http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/enjoy-your-android-experience-ov... no more struggling with tiny phone screens to send texts ha ha
A good IRC client :
AndroIRC : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androirc
It's pretty good. Can be added to Messaging section. Another one I tried and seems to be quite popular is Yaaic, but I did not find it to be that good.
About WhatsApp, it's only free for the first year. After that it costs money.
good point the 1st year is free and it's $0.99 there after i think go sms pro is free text between other go sms pro users https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jb.gosms&feature=top-free it's listed above , i don't think there is a years limit on that like whatsapp
I tried Go Sms Pro but didnt like it. It's not a messaging software actually, it's mainly for stock sms replacement.
If you are looking for a free messenger app, then besides whatsapp, there are others like Kik Messenger, Viber, etc. I guess Whatsapp is popular because it does not require you to register and make a new ID, but it just uses the phone number.
I think it might be worth adding a suggest a app section. Although there are so many it might be impossible to review all the ones suggested. Or maybe a member based suggest a app by category. Not reviewed but alternatives to the the apps that have been reviewed.
Something that might be worth testing and reviewing
Bitdefender Power Tune up
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitdefender.tuneup
TrendMicro optimizer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trendmicro.mobileutili...
Utter Voice recognition - This one is in BETA still needs some work but seems very promising when i was testing it out.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brandall.nutter&featur.....
i like the look of these apps i might give them a spin on my phone.
There are no money saving apps on here and I think they are fantastic. The new Visa one is great: https://www.visaoffers.eu/uk/page.do?page=competitionWelcome&origin=Vari....
PDroid should be a featured sticky in this section.
As a privacy assuring framework mod poorly conceived apps will be unable to violate the user
Someone was trying streetquest - run is a game? Really nice game if you dont like to stay at home 24/7 :)
Here is ling to store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.scapaflow.streetquest
I "couldn't live without" anymore:
- "SMS flash" - show (transparent) sms on top of anything, dismiss or reply by click or proximity sensor. no internet-permission.
- "wave control" - use your proximity-sensor to control your music.
- "copipe", a clipboard in your notification-bar.
- "haxsync" finally sets my friends fb-pictures as contact-pics.
- "livescore widget".
- "swipe pad" - reaches "any" app from within any app.
- "screen filter", when 0 isn't dark enough.
- "shake to shuffle beta" - shake to skip song.
- "elixir 2" - not as system information tool but as the one widget-creator i will ever need.
sorry for the double-posts.
Have you tried Ovo as a simple timer? Really simple interface and very intuitive.
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ilumbo.ovo
jus new to these tablets so jus trying to get games!
I love my phone but it has a tiny screen so mighty text is great for texting ( when i'm at home anyway) it's really easy to use , install on your browser and phone and your texting from your laptop within seconds.
I just thought I'd add , that Pocket is really great too, it helps save money and keep mobile data costs because while I'm at home I sync a load of web pages to it either using the desktop app or via dolphin browser ( it integrates well with dolphin browser for android ) using my home board-band and then while I'm out and about I can view the web-pages off-line saving me from using my mobile data allowance.
ohh... and are there any really good apps for reading book outloud??
i am trying to find the prank dialer app!! i know they took it off but is there anything remotely similar to that free app?? thanks.. and fingers crossed!!
keisha
ps.. its easier to just email me, unless the comments will get sent back to my email.. im obviously a first timer on here!!
Thanks for the post.. come to know really awesome free android applications..
I have been using this new free cloud backup application called G Cloud Backup. It works very well and I have restored from it twice already. You should really check it out as it doesnt need any rooting and can backup everything you may need. I will include a link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.genie9.gcloudbackup&hl=en
You should review it. Thx
