Just wondering if anyone has thought of a score app for golf. some thing that will keep your score and could update your handicap from each round.
im fed up of having so many score cards and thought an app would be great as it could store them as seperate files and could up date the players handicap after each round.
I would do this but have no experience of building apps, if someone points me in the right direction then i could give it a go. Thats if no one else will take it on.
I would definately donate to someone if they made a nice looking golf scorecard app. This would be awesome.
take a look: http://www.mobilitydigest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1170
two golf apps - one has a score card but obviously you could just have an excel spreadsheet on your phone if you wanted to do it for free
I have looked at the link and they do look ok, but i was thinking more along the lines of a score card rather than a golf gps.
just somewhere that can keep your scores from current and past rounds and then can calculate an upto date handicap.
I know it would be simple and free to do it on excel but i think an app would look so much better, and easily to manage.
plus i live in the UK and most of them seem like american courses, the courses i play on will probly not appear on there database of courses.
If you're willing to pay for an excellent scoring application, look here. It's all the software you'll need on the golfcourse. I've been using it for years and it works like a charm.

It is a superb program
So one of my iPhone friends who is always trying to convince me that his iPhone is better than my AT&T Tilt has shown me a ton of stuff but it has all been meh to me. He did just show me something that I would very much like though called Beer Brands by Webworks and Applications, Inc. It’s a pretty cool app about different beer styles and info on the beers, what food goes best with them, what glass to drink it from, etc. I have searched in hopes of finding this or a similar program for WM devices but have come up empty. Anyone out there know if a program like this? Thanks!!!
My personal feeling is that there are waaaay too many cheap iphone apps that simply re-present info easily available on the net. Unless the app uses gps to show you the way to the closest, highest-rated brewpub cross-reffed by style of ale... I would like that app! Its almost like the cheap and flashy iP apps tarnish the real cool-factor of the better ones - they're lost in the deluge of light-sabre and zippo apps.

Coming from education technology, I have seen pluses and minuses.
You are right, being able to hold it comfortably in 1 hand is nice (it is MUCH lighter than an iPad) and I've found the voice recognition for taking voice notes very accurate. However, typing papers is not really practical, but I'm assuming you have a standard computer for that.
The biggest drawback is getting your books in a format that is compatible with the N7/Android. If you can get them (or just scan them) in simple PDF, you are golden, but many of the secure proprietary formats that publishers are using and distributing through college bookstores are not quite there yet in the ability to display them on a tablet---some are using flash, others are using different secure formats (such as CaféScribe) so they can keep the book from being copied and distributed.
The foolproof solution is to take any books you have to Kinkos and have them chop the spine and feed scan to turn them into PDFs (which you can legally do as long as you don't distribute the PDF) for a small fee, which they can do pretty quickly.
Good luck, I love the N7 for reading.
Yeah but i need t o know if i can use the N7 for some more then PDF reading xD. Because 250 € for PDF reading while i can print those PDF's for 20 €is a huge difference

Then you probably just answered your own question. Only you know what reading material you need.

I just think just the N7 for "just" reading is wasted. I would like to use it for some more things but i dont know if i can with that 7 inch Display.
I would like to use a good navigation Software and some other things.

navigation? how big is your campus? lol
i thought you're asking the use for "studying" (ps: does not spell "studiying" - i hope you're taking econ in a non-english univ), and here are my thoughts: (im an Econ student too)
- reading: it's hit and miss. depend on what you need to read (papers and other docs distributed/recommended by your prof, or generic PDF out in the internet).
- typing: sucks. i dont know about you, but i still write faster than typing. you can try installing Swype or some other app to type faster, but on a 7+ inches monitor, it's still not comfortable. 4~5" on a phone is easy to swype with your thumb. 7"? go landscape and practice.
now, aside from the above points, everything else is good with a Nexus for the following points:
1. it's cheap. $199 for a quad-core device?
2. it's small and light.
3. it has nice apps. Evernotes. Calendar. Emails. Browser. Office products. voice recorders. and they're mostly cheaper (if not free) compared to iPad apps.
4. it's a Tegra3 device with high resolution display. download some games and it's solid for in-between study or during a boring lecture.
Here's how I use my Nexus for studying: as a handy references device. it doesn't replace my notes, textbooks, and the all-important highlighter... but for a quick internet search or reference sources, it's way easier than booting my laptop... and i can schedule my exams, study period, check emails, and check classes on a screen bigger than my phone's.

Really? I can't find any information about this service on their website. So..you can give them like a 200 page book (small and large book), and they'll make a PDF of it for you? I want that so badly.
I hate typing on the N7.. I am 3x as fast on my 4 inch phone it just doesn't gel with me.
May not be your experience but no way in could note take.

Not the navigation for the campus i mean car navigation ^^. I'm using atm Navigon for navigation. My english was better but I haven't used it barely for 1 1/2 years so excuse me .
I need to thank you R3dbeaver because you showed me what you are doing with your N7. We are getting all our PDF files from our prof. so the quality of the PDF file is goood ( writen on PC and this **** ).
I am also someone how writes faster than typing. I think i will buy the N7 and use it exactly like you. A good combination of both things.
I would appreciate if you could recommend me some usefull apps
What they do is remove the spine and run it through a feed scanner, then spiral bind the book. From there they can save it in any format you desire. It's probably not something you're going to see advertised because I imagine it's not something they get asked to do a lot, but they do do it. It sounds like a lot more work than it actually is. I do this for a living for students with print disabilities, but I send students that don't qualify for the service to Kinko's if they want to do their own books.
Good luck, let me know if you have any other queations on getting it done.

I use the nexus 7 to read my heavy PDF textbooks with diagrams and pictures. Use ebookdroid (awesome app!) to auto crop pages and use landscape mode. Yes a bit extra scrolling but comfortable otherwise.
I just found out that the maker of our S-Notes did release their version to the Samsung market. (not only to the OEM)
It has one big feature: writing and convert later :victory:
The selection tool is also good.
It does also export to txt. :good:
But the rest is mostly the same as the S-Note, if not worse: :crying: No shapes, No Calc, limited choice of backgrounds and pen styles, no recordings, no Wolfram.
Perhaps a bit slower.

I see it's rather pricey too (€8).
But this price could also be considered good news if this app is intended to really become a full featured, "pro" version of SNote in the next future.
Anyway, at this stage, I don't think the price is worth it yet (considering the features present in SNote and not in the app and considering other good paid for alternative apps that are priced less than half).
I had it on my lenovo thinkpad as an oem version. It want perfect utilities the things it did it did well to me s-note is full featured but doesn't do the basics well enough so much so that it is nearly unusable. I can't for the life of me figure out why the basic function of converting handwriting to text is so poorly implemented that I never use it.

And, if you buy from Samsung, you'll only be able to access it on Samsung devices. Too bad it hasn't come to the Market. At least that way you don't have to pay twice.
Folks with the ThinkPad Tablet got caught that way. Bought it from Lenovo and now if they want it for their Note they have to buy it all over again.

It's pretty basic and missing many features of the S-Note, but I love it.
Because it convert a bit better, I didn't have any problems with : backslash or coma, numbers and the r.
Where the S-Notes makes me mad, you write a text, make a mistake and the problems begins: you try to correct, but loose the input focus when using the pen, so you use the arrow keys you get back at the end of line but forget the space... no easy way to put text blocks together.....
And so one....
The MyScript is almost as so good, as was my old Newton MP2100.
Could someone get a deeper look at the JB S-Notes, I know about the page slider, color picking, backgrounds, I also did peak something about "Import" ?
What else did change? Or is new?

MSN didn't work for me, so I bought it and asked for a refund in the first month. 7Notes with mazec is far superior IMO. It handles my chicken scratch writing much better than MSN ever did. Glad it works for you. SNote was much worse for me than MSN.

I don't see MyScript Notes in the Samsung App store. I am running a Galaxy Note 2, so maybe that explains it. I'd love to get my hands on that apk file.
Funny, seems only for 10" Tablets.
I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 N8013...how come I cant find this app? It's not in the PlayStore, and I also cannot find Samsung Market on my tablet. I tried to install Samsung Market, but I dont see the app on my device.
I'm posting this here, because I would assume that most of the people who bought a Note did it because of the S-Pen. Therefore, you probably did it for artistic reasons, or because of handwriting support.
Personally, I did it for artsy reasons. For the last couple years (since I got my iPad1) I have been preferring drawing pictures digitally. In order to reference my "style" (might help with my later question) my work is on:
http://niiru.deviantart.com/
I had a few setbacks (apps being a pain, etc) and problems with resolutions and all that, but for the last few months it was ticking along nicely.
And then... I wanted to upgrade my tablet. But an iPad4? The same as what I had pretty much, but the new version? Seemed boring... even though it would be easy, as I could keep the new apps etc...
BUT no... I impulse bought a Note10.1 instead. Because the more-accurate style of stylus could only help, and pressure support? I did without it until now, but it might help in future!
HOWEVER...
I started with Sketchbook Pro on the ipad, a good program. However it was limited in the resolution you could use, which meant that the exported pictures were not very big on my computer screen. And of course, if you enlarge them, they become heavily pixelated. Not good.
So I changed to vector programs, mostly one called "iDraw", which is basically a full adobe illustrator style program. Does absolutely everything. And the main advantage being, the vectors are saved when you export the file... so you can make the pictures as big as you want without any pixellation problems!
My problem with android though... the only vector apps I can find are Adobe Ideas (very very badly rated, 1 star app...) and one called Infinite Design (very highly rated, but still rough around the edges).
BACK TO THE POINT...
So while Adobe Ideas is being made into something thats... not crap. And while infinte design is working out its issues (though I'm still going to try and use it), I wondered what all you guys out in Note-land were using?
Im expecting some nods to sketchbook pro.... and I'm really hoping someone will tell me a way to get around its "canvas size is limited to screen resolution" problem. As this... is pretty bad.
...and I'm also hoping for a few new ideas, some "diamond in the rough" apps which haven't reached my ears yet..
Really hoping I won't regret buying the Note to be honest... I had high hopes for it. It has hit an early hurdle, even taking into account the relative youth of the android tablet app environment.
FOR THOSE WHO SKIPPED THE WALL OF TEXT:
QUESTION - What do you guys use, to make pretty pictures on the tablets. Vector based for preference, or bitmap if the canvas size can be changed!
Thanks y'all.
(excuse any rambling, it is 2am here. 'nuff said.)
edit: I didn't put this in the "questions" thread, because its not a question about the Note itself... sorry if that was a mistake.
I also bought the note to draw on and do some sketching, but have been unable to find a program that I like. I keep getting random lines with some of the apps from leaning on the screen. Very dissapointing, but I would like to see what people would recommend

Ok, after another half hour of playing around with Infinite Design, I can see why a) some people give it great reviews, and b) why some people hate it.
I'll start with b) - The interface is a little confusing, and definately needs to be worked on. I think its a one-man project though, so things like UI design may not be at the top of his list. It takes a while to find some things, like certains tools and ways of doing things. I guess thats what they would call a learning curve though.
however...
a) This app does have some very very clever design features. I have found a couple that have actually wowed me, and made me think I could use it to do some really interesting work.
For instance, you can add a line of symmetry to a drawing, so that everything you draw is mirrored along a vertical/horizontal/angled line of symmetry.
Not too special you say? Well you can add this line mid-drawing, without it automatically mirroring your previous work, and do a couple mirrored lines, then remove it. Ive known programs that would simply mirror everything.
Still not enough? The line of symmetry is customisable, it defaults to the centre of where your screen is aimed on the canvas, and can be moved to any location. *This is actually potentially very useful, and I know of no iOS apps that have this as a feature.*
back to b) though, finding out HOW to put in these lines of symmetry, and how to then move them (it involves a tool that is in a different menu entirely) was half judgement and half luck on my part. There aren't any tutorials for any of this stuff *yet*.
But yes, if vectors float your boat (as they do mine) it would seem that "Infinite Design" is currently the one to watch on Android. Its not perfect, it will take some work and getting used to, but with a few more updates (and the guy seems to be working on them fairly regularly, relatively speaking) it could be something pretty special.
SO I have put in an answer to my own question, someone elses turn now!
Edit:
I actually emailed the creators of sketchbook pro (auto desk) because I was so annoyed by the canvas size limitation I wanted to vent my anger in a request for much-needed-changes...
Less than an hour later, I had an actual reply! I was shocked, to say the least.
Apparently Chad (the auto desk guy) was so helpful, he decided to let me know that the new version of sketchbook for iPad and android was coming soon, and would have changes to the canvas limitation, as well as various other "exciting changes in the way people will use this app".
He seemed excited, and now so am I!
So there might be good things coming for sketchbook pro, and I am glad as that was always a very good app on iOS.

Good list! I'm going through them on the play store at the moment, though a few of them fall into the "fun" category, of being nice to play around and doodle on, but no use for any bigger projects. The problem is usually a matter of having no way to export the pictures as a usable file type
edit: layer paint seems interesting, if it ever makes a tablet version it could be awesome. I cant find an app called "drawing" though...

I had heard of these before, but I had thought they were just for handwriting (that is what they themselves advertise as) though the quill app does seem to have a few nice drawing tools too. And it can save as a .pdf.. which would usually mean saving any vector information too! Interesting..

Ahh thanks, I will take a look
I have also found out about an app called TouchDraw... vector drawing, seems to have been a popular one on the iPad store, and is released on android recently it seems....
But its unavailable in my country? I'm in the UK, so I'm guessing its for America only for some reason (As I doubt the developer has a specific grudge against the UK). I may try and find a way around this, so that I can test it out and review it for you guys.
I'll try and post up a review thread of all these apps somewhere soon, so people can find the apps that would be most useful to them (vectors/bitmap/fun/serious/etc)
Assuming this would be useful to anyone anyway, I know it would be to me

I got this just now. Had an hour of playing around (and looking up windows help guides to figure some stuff out)....
Oh..Em..Gee.
This is an insane program. It is like a full windows animation program, on a tablet.
And strangely, it wouldnt work on any normal tablet, only ones that use a pen. Fingers would be way too thick to hit these menu buttons, and the contextual help only comes up on "mouse-overs".
Colour me impressed, this tool will be something awesome when it is released. There needs to be more like this! Programs that the iPad could *never* have (unless they release a non-capacitive screened iPad, which I doubt they would).

Sketchbook pro has most, if not all, of these features. Not sure on the blend and smudge for the android version, I know that the iPad version did. Check it out in the Play store, it should list the features.
It is a very good program, and I have been told by an Autodesk employee that a new update that will add all sorts of nice new features, and will be coming out "soon". Though how soon "soon" is, is anyones guess.
Dont take my word for it though (I'd hate for you to spend money and then blame me if I was wrong!!!) so check out the Play listing for sketchbook pro. Make sure you end up buying the "Sketchbook Pro for Tablets" one though, if you do buy it.
Edit: There are blend modes using layers.... but no smudge tool in sketchbook. Not on android anyway, it has been on the iPad version for a long time though. I would *think* that it would get added in the upcoming update. Sorry I couldnt be more help, I haven't yet explored the colouring side things on android...
However, I hear good things about a program called "Infinite Painter", made by the same guy who does the Infinite Design app. The pictures I have seen done using it were very impressive, so I expect that might have smudge/blend tools. I would check that one out if I were you. It has a Note-specific version of the app, which is nice!

This is a link to the Free version. Probably has adverts or limited saves or something. The paid version isnt expensive though.
I use sketchbook pro, best app for drawing I've used and easy translation from photoshop illustrator but slightly easier for stuff like adding layers.
Lacks the one thing it needs which is palm rejection which would make it a worthwhile purchase.

It's the app I used on iPad, but trust me when I say the iPad version has a lot more tools in it. Don't know why they've been so slow with the android one.
An update on my infinite design findings... It's good. But it's missing some necessary tools, such as Path joining and being able to select-all. Also it seems you can't have your line be a different color to your fill...
Vector graphics users will hopefully understand what I mean lol. I miss my iDraw program on the iOS. It had everything. Maybe someday soon a program will catch up to it!
Although I still need to try that new TouchDraw program that's on Samsung apps... It looks promising, in theory.
Because people think of Apple users as "artists" and Android users as geeks.
Anyway, tvpaint looks ridiculously complex!
I once was quite good at using TV Paint (when it was called Mirage) but I forgot almost all of it. It's a very specific program. Right now I would kill for MyPaint on Note 10.1. I'm considering porting it - but it uses Python which is not available on Android AFAIK.

Its probably generally quite true, but as an artist AND a geek, I am happy with my wacom-powered device. So they need to start making apps for it!
Saying that, I had an email from the developer of the vector app I use, and he has finished his other project for now and is back to work on his next update for this app. So things are moving forward!
I was just about to bite the bullet, and spend the £5.50 for the TouchDraw app from the samsung store when I noticed.... It is only compatible with Jellybean 4.1+.
Which hasnt been released for my device yet, officially.
Lame.
Might be time to root.
