Add Search Shortcuts to Your Smartphone for Quicker Research



If you're going to search a site like YouTube or Twitter from your phone, you usually need to launch an app and then hit the search box, or launch your browser and search from there. That's a lot of taps of your finger, but Digital Inspiration shows off how you can make your own custom shortcuts that lead directly to site-specific search engines. 


Digital Inspiration uses a tiny bit of Javascript to lead directly to a site's search engine. Once you navigate to the page with Digital Inspiration's code, you create the shortcut and you'll have a place to instantly search from. Digital Inspiration's already made shortcuts for popular sites like Twitter, Wolfram Alpha, Amazon, and Wikipedia, but you can also make your own. Follow the link below for the full list and guide.

Nudge Tracks All Your Health Information in One App


Android/iPhone: Tracking your exercise and health is a great way to keep yourself motivated and meet goals, but it's often a pain because you need to do it in a bunch of different apps. Nudge allows you to track everything from beverages consumed to steps taken in one simple app. 

Nudge automatically imports data from apps like Moves and RunKeeper. It then allows you to enter in data with what type of food you've eaten, how much water you drink, exercise, your energy level, and plenty more. From there, Nudge tracks that data, rates how healthy you're living, and gives you recommendations for what you need to do more of. You can also connect Nudge to social feeds called "Clubs" where you can talk with other Nudge users about exercise. Nudge is similar to an app like Argus, but it's a little simpler and allows you track different kinds of data.

Quickoffice Now Free on Android and iOS with Free Google Drive Storage



Android/iOS: Quickoffice is our pick for the best office suit on both Android and iOS, but at $15 it was always a bit expensive. Now the app has dropped to free, and comes packed with 10GB of free Google Drive storage if you login into the app this week.

On top of the new price, Quickoffice also gets a few updates, including the ability to create ZIP folders, a few more file types, and more. If you sign into your Google account after downloading the app between today and September 26, you'll also get an extra 10GB of Google Drive storage for the next two years.

Contactive Identifies Unknown Callers, Adds Social Info to Contacts




Android: Getting a call from an unknown number forces you into making a quick decision based on no information: do you want to talk to this person or not? Contactive helps solve this by putting a name to the number. 

This app isn't the first to try to demystify unknown numbers, but the service uses a crowdsourced model for identifying business numbers, so the list is constantly growing. In addition, incoming calls from your contact list will display social media updates from a wide variety of sources. While some manufacturer variations of Android will do this, others (including Google's own stock dialer) do not, but it's still a handy feature to have.
