If you have T-Mobile, then MLB 14 is free for a year. It's a limited time offer worth $20. Audio feeds of all games, compressed game videos of all games, plus more!

Just wondering if anyone has experience using the Uber taxi app on an Android phone. I downloaded it today and signed up for an account. On my phone, it seems unable to access my PayPal account. Don't have the problem using the Uber website.

If I can get it working with PayPal, I think it could easily become one of my favorite Android apps.

I use it on Android, but have my Uber account linked to my AmEx. I just tried adding PayPal as a payment method and got an error that it could not connect to my PayPal account . . . so it looks like you're not alone.

Promo offer has been around for at least 3 weeks already :)

New favourite app
 

Google Search.

No, really. I just got the 3.5.x update to Google Search and started reading about "Okay Google Everywhere". Wow. Now I know how Moto X users feel.

First, I do talk to my phone. Unashamedly. It has its uses. One of those uses, of course, is when driving, and this is where the update is brilliant as it finally enables mostly hands-free everything (found a few small issues, such as problems recognizing while playing music, but this can be combined with Tasker proximity sensing in a pinch). So before, where you'd need to drop back to the home screen to call or send a text or get new directions, you can now do it from any screen. Then a quick "open maps" will send you back to navigation when you're done.

Plus, being able to get simple data from the lockscreen is great. No more unlocking the phone to call people (and yes, this may actually be a security problem, but I have to run some tests with the voice model to see if they finally blocked other people from using 'Okay Google').

I have to say, this is the best new feature to hit the phone since I've got it.

Are there any apps where you can define a walking route within a city and guide you to the various destinations? Looking for something to help an upcoming trip to Europe.

Uber
 

I like Uber, although I use a credit card, not PayPal. I don't use it often, but when in major city with no cabs in site, it is wonderful. (Especially for a woman at night.) I love it gives you the plate number, car description and picture of driver. No worrying about figuring out tip, either.

I am a former roboform fan. I switched to Lastpass. It imported all my info from roboform. It does cost $12 annually for the mobile/Android /iPhone? Version.

It supports the chrome browser as well as Dolphin and Firefox. In addition, you can configure it to input passwords to applications.

PS It does store passwords locally and in the cloud.

SwiftKey is free now.

Clean Master and Battery Doctor helps to extend battery life.

GEL doesn't give any benefit for the Droid MAXX which is just a bigger version of the (root stock ROM) Republic Moto X that I have. Use Moto's default launcher. I have Nova Prime 3.0.2 and LOVE it, especially for the ability to hide apps that clutter my app drawer.

I like Google Now Launcher ("new" name since it wa sput in the Play Store a few months back) and the instant availability of Google Now by one swipe. I also like the always-on "OK, Google". That feature is native even without Google Now Launcher in the Droid Maxx, though, isn't it?

I use Nova Launcher Prime 3.0.2 which is $3.99 but there is a free version. It's the same thing as Google Now Launcher but with a few more customization options. "OK, Google" is native in the Droid MAXX with a few Motorola addons in 4.4 and later, "Read my notifications" for example.

Free Amazon Apps are back for next 48 hours
 

Just another heads-up, go nowhere with this ORD mess this morning with fire affecting ATC
