Amazon's Free App of the Day - Executive Assistant +

written by: Nick Kosmides


At nearly $7 for Executive Assistant +, it seems to be an extremely glorified widget app for all your media needs.  The truth of the matter is I'm right.  Similar to how the SuperBox gave you access to all your Settings under the hood of the SuperBox app, Exec. Ass. + (shortened) provides the following services under its hood:

- calling features
- emails
- text messages
- calender
- tasks
- Google Reader
- Twitter timelines
- Facebook news feed

Here's the funniest part of it all.  Your "smartphone" already does all this stuff!  Its the whole reason you bought a smartphone in the first place.  If you want a quick chuckle, read the Product Description for Exec. Ass. + and pretend they are talking about a new phone, rather than an app.  Try it, I'll wait.

Now, what the app actually does offer users is the ability to access all those stock and free-to-download features of your phone in one convenient spot of your Home screen.  Choose to use the many widget options which every Android user loves!  Or how about the Lock screen option, or unlock to face their Home screen atop your Home screen.

While those are real nice features, the popular vote is going with the notion that running redundant apps on your smartphone is bad for the environment, the phone environment.  Your battery will thank you by not having two versions of every app running in the background, plus a widget and Lock screen feature.

Regardless of the popular vote, you'll save $7 by picking up this little big app today from the Amazon Appstore as part of the Free App A Day program.
