Thing 19 Hobbies

Not too much success here! Neither Sibley Birds or Spotify worked on Nexus 7. (Getting to be a pattern here.) Many apps are for phones. That is just how it is.

Thing 18 Education

Wikipedia App is pretty cool to have when you just need a quick fact check, or titles in a series, etc.

10 Monkeys Multiplication was really fun. Not just for kids - this type of app is also a good challenge for older folks who need to practice concentrating and thinking.

I am also interested in Life for iPad. Would love to see all the old photos.

Thing 17 Community

One thing that I like about Superior Hiking Trail App - no special permissions! They don't need to know everything about me in order to show me their info. I am excited about this app since we have hiked SHT many times. Lots of great information about the trials, trailheads, maps, conditions, etc. But does not work with Crome - so not with Nexus 7. Bummer.

MPR Radio App is certainly one of my all time favorites! Works fine on Nexus 7 even though it is designed for phones.

Going Out not compatible with my device...

Also want to try Mayo Clinic Patient App - Apple only

Thing 12

Audiobooks - easy!! public domain titles mostly. Search of most popular brings up a lot of classics and children's classics. Lists are largely alpha, so you have to know what you want. One cool thing about Audiobooks is multiple languages available. Keep that in mind for library users who may want audiobooks in another language.

iStoryBooks  is easy to access. Not the best istorybooks that I have seen by in pinch, you have it at your fingertips.

FreeBooks - for phones really - Not Nexus 7

Thing 11

ELM for mobile devices is a new favorite. I will be telling my co-workers about this one. So nice to be able to access ELM databases from a mobile device. I have used it some and it works well. I was not able to bookmark the site on Nexus 7 - well actually I did bookmark it but can't find the bookmark!
Also added Library Apps. Must remember to pass this tip on to library customers. So easy to use.

Skipping Things 9 & 10 for now

I am using Nexus 7, borrowed from the library. Not what I want to use for pictures. But let's just say for now that I learned that I may rather have a different device if pictures are going to be something I want to do. And I think it is! So hopefully I will get back to this next weekend with another device.

Thing 8

HootSuite is really attractive! The layout is friendly. Right now I have just 2 social media that I use, and really only one that I use with much regularity. Not something I need too much. I see some co-workers using HootSuite and now I understand what they are doing and why. Very nice to be able to keep up with multiple accounts without needing to sign into each separately. Just knowing a little bit about it and how it works could come in handy when helping the public with library computers.
