AppWatch: Fantasy Football Anyone?

Come Thursday...Let's Get It On!

For those of us who participate in fantasy football leagues all I can say is: What a relief right?

Whew! That was a close one. Can't say too much for the NBA Basketball season this fall. That's not looking like it's going to happen, but that doesn't matter! Because we have football and with football comes fantasy football. There are plenty of leagues to choose from Yahoo to ESPN and of course you could go with the source by using the NFL.

In all honesty, kickoff starts on Thursday so a majority of you likely have your rosters all drafted out. I know I do in my 3 leagues!

So that leads us to this edition of AppWatch. Which Fantasy Football App for Android is right for you?

Hit the jump and find the one you need.

AppWatch: NYC Train Status

If you live in the NYC Tri-State area and have the pleasure or lack thereof to use the subway system of this mass city then you are no stranger to missing information. Missing announcements, missing line updates, missing construction updates. Plain and simple the MTA's NYC Transit Division can be a perfect example of communication gone wrong. One thing that the MTA is doing right is providing the tools necessary for developers to help everyday riders like you and me get around these hurdles with some sense of simplicity.

That's why this 2nd edition of AppWatch comes with a distinctive honor. NYC Train Status developed by DigitalSolace's own Albert Rosa.

Using development tools accessible via the MTA website NYC Train Status gives you a simple, quick and easy way to find out what's going on with your train line before you step out of the door or walk down the stairs into the trenches. As soon as you access the app, the main screen gives you a list of all subway lines grouped by their main Manhattan Avenues of service. Listed directly to the right of each line grouping is the overall status of service, whether it's Good Service, Delay or Planned work. When you tap the status, you will be able to view the details of the delay or planned work along with details about which line in the grouping is affected in the same exact format as it's presented on the MTA.info website itself.

So if you find yourself in the New York City region whether you live in/around town or visiting. NYC Train Status is an App to Watch.

AppWatch: Google Maps

Today's edition of AppWatch is an ole reliable. Google Maps and now available for download in the Android Market is version 5.9. Obviously some of the updates barely ruffles a feather but this one might make your pup's ears stand on end when it hears about this drop.

The most notable feature in this release? Transit Notifications! If you're living in a sizable city with solid mass transit, then you might want to give this version a lap or two around the track. Of course and as with most of Google's offerings this is in beta testing mode. The notifications feature voice and ringtone options for your convenience. So go try it out and see what you think. I know I will!
