Thing 3!

Thing 3--Utilities.  I should have read this task last week before I went out and bought a replacement calculator.  As soon as I read the task I quickly grabbed a calculator app and am delighted with the size and ease of using the app.  And it's with me instead of on the desk at home.

I was really excited to try the StandApp, it sounded very intriguing.  Unfortunately I couldn't find the app for the Nook so I went on a search for a stretching app and came up with Stretch on the go.  It's not a pretty app but it does include some great stretches.  Of particular interest to me was that it included a sequence routine for office workers, I couldn't wait to easily have a short routine to prevent computer fatigue. 

Alas it was not meant to be.  The sequence was listed but the words weren't a link to the exercise.  You have to go back to the directory, find the first exercise, do it, go back to the sequence list, etc.  Definitely not user friendly.  I'll keep playing with it, maybe I am missing an easy step to make the 50 exercise cards more useable.  And it wasn't free.  Sorry I paid for it and I'm not sure who gave the app all of the stars.  Just goes to show me to be leery of app ratings.

I have to say I like the exercises, they're easy to do and provide relief from desk stress,  this is just very unfriendly to use as is. 

Wish I could have found the StandApp.
