Shush is an app I use almost daily. When you silence your phone a pop up appears asking how long you want it silenced for. Say you choose 15 minutes - 15 minutes later the volume turns back on without you doing anything. As someone who never remembers to turn the volume back on when coming out of shul, a movie, et al, its proven useful a million times. Works seamlessly with your phone's volume buttons; you don't need to open an app or anything. I highly recommend.


Thank you

I'm sure this isnt relevant to many here, but Google just released a new Analytics app. MUCH better than the gAnalytics app I've been using for a while. Beautiful layout, some cool new features that are not even included in standard GA (like real time visitors), very fast. Only been using it for a day but I would recommend it.

Evernote is a wonderful concept, but not being able to view your notes offline (w/o paying $$) is a killer, and for me makes the app totally worthless.

Anyone know of a free alternative?

TIA

BTW, why do they get such negative ratings and reviews?
Supposedly the app doesn't even carry such basic features like copy and paste?!

So swype works well, and even the voice part works excellent.

A few questions though (each one on separate post, as not tire the one answering):

1.Not sure how to incorporate spaces while typing on swype.

It spaces automatically when you pick up your finger to start the next word.
