Saw this app get some word of mouth around the web today. It's brand new, fairly basic and a little rough around the edges - but it works! I've tried out a couple apps here and there to replace +Cover, but none of them quite fit the bill. +Emberify's #Launchify  might not be a total Cover replacement, but it more than gets the job done. Definitely gets my recommendation!

Check it out guys, and give it your love and support! Hopefully Launchify can pickup where Cover left off. 

Well gentlemen, it's been real. But today's the fateful day that I'm finally uninstalling +Cover. When this app first came out, there was a lot of promise and potential. Unfortunately, ever since Twitter acquired it updates have been too few and far between to allow it to grow into the amazing app it could be.

It's a shame, this app could have been so much more. But instead, Twitter decided to kill it. Only rather than shut it down and remove it from the Play Store, Twitter gives it a slow and painful death of occasional, lackluster updates. I won't bear witness to this torture anymore.

#RIP  Cover, may your idea at least inspire other developers to create similar but improved upon, lock-screen apps in your image. In the meantime, I'll be on the hunt for another worthy lockscreen app to take your place. Any suggestions, anyone?

+Lifehacker posted an article today that describes an ingenious tip to help save time and effort when you type in your email address on your iOS or Android device (http://goo.gl/5vos5r). It involves creating a shortcut in your devices personal dictionary so that when you type "@@" or "qq" (or frankly whatever you want), it instead actually types out your email address. And if you have a handful of email addresses, you just assign the others accordingly:@@@, @@@@, etc.

I tried creating the shortcut by adding it to the personal dictionary of my Android phone, but I guess that isn't connected to my dictionary in Fleksy because typing @@ or even qq (I've tried adding both separately) doesn't type out my email address for me. When I found the fleksy-specific dictionary in fleksy's settings, it appears that I can add words to my dictionary, but not shortcuts.

Hopefully this is something Fleksy can eventually build into the app? I know it'll take some time, but this would be super helpful. Fleksy seems to be all about speed and efficiency, and it doesn't get much faster or more efficient than keyboard shortcuts.

Just a thought! :)
