The app allows you to create checklists, jot down text notes, add notes to photos and even record voice and have it transcribed to text so you can use it for later.

What?s cool? At this point, you're probably a Facebook user on Android, since it's among the most popular mobile apps on any platform. Facebook allows users to update statuses, view photos, send messages to other users and do a host of other things through the social network, including check in to physical locations and share photos from their device's camera. The app still isn't quite as full-featured as the web version of Facebook, however, but the company continues to add new elements. With its latest update, Facebook adds the ability to change your profile picture and hide stories or report spam from your newsfeed, making it a little easier to get exactly what you want out of the network.

Who?s it for? If you use Facebook anywhere, you should be using it on your phone or tablet.

The game has players playing through 2-D golf courses that often get a little crazy, adding floating platform, sticky walls, icy slopes and other challenges, making the game more similar to physics games like Angry Birds than traditional golf. You play by adjusting your aim and deciding how much power you want in your swing, and you can make use of power-ups that can freeze your ball in midair or stick it to walls in order to get the best score possible. Super Stickman Golf 2 also includes an asynchronous multiplayer mode and a racing mode, in which you battle other golfers for the best score and the fastest finish.

Who?s it for? Players who enjoy the first Super Stickman Golf, physics puzzlers and just plain fun games should try Super Stickman Golf 2.

What?s it like? The original Super Stickman Golf is also worth your attention, as are games with similar mechanics, such as Fragger.
