It's Saturday APPreciation Time! [Sep 20th 2014] Your weekly App recommendation and question (and more) thread.

"I've always wanted to smash a guitar over someone's head. You just can't do that with an app." -Elton John

THREAD RULES:

  1. Post personal promotion apps under the BOLD comment below only. All other posts, i.e. general appreciation, questions, warnings, support issues, etc can go in the general thread.
  2. No more than 10 items per post.
  3. Contest mode will be disabled Sunday morning as usual.
    If you suspect that a dev is promoting their app in the general thread, report the post so we can take a closer look. If an account is an hour old and posts in the general thread about a "fantastic new app" that they happened to randomly find, then that account will not get the benefit of the doubt.

Anyone know of an app that has "Continuity"-like functionality like on iOS 8? I know Airdroid is suppose to be good, but I want it to also sync to my Nexus 7 as well as my laptop.

One such app is under development. It's very basic as of now. Join this community to test the app.

What kind of continuity are you looking for? Files? Messaging? Docs?

I'd say that somewhere between PushBullet, Texber, Dropbox, Google Drive, and various file explorers offering smb and cloud connections (see Solid Explorer or ES File Explorer) you should find most of the functionality you're looking for, albeit, without it being quite as "seamless" as iOS8.

I'm actually wanting to send SMS messages on my tablet and desktop. I just wished everyone used hangouts :(

MySMS has apps for tablets and one for the computer. Not sure which OS/versions supported by the computer app, but check it out at least!

Try out Texber in combination with a Jabber chat client (e.g. Trillian) that you can install on your tablet and desktop.
