Android Quick App: Calendr
While most users may be familiar with Clockr, the minimalistic time display application a lot of you may not have heard of Calendr yet. Calendr offers the same minimalistic approach as Clockr with the difference being that it’s used to display your calendar events rather than the time.
Calendr, while pretty basic in function is still a nice widget to have placed on your homescreen if you need to be unobtrusively reminded of upcoming events ahead of time. Events will be displayed up to one week prior and will only display the information you enter in and nothing more. You’ll also find Calendr very light on battery usage as it only updates the display once a day or when a new entry is added. Custom options include font size, color adjustments as well as background and alignment options so that you may customize it anyway you wish.
Calendr is now available for free but keep in mind it only works with the default Android calendar. If you are making use of the HTC calendar or the Moto calendar this will not work.

Android Quick App: FlightView
If you fly more than, say, once a year, you absolutely should look into an Android travel app. And a new one to Android is FlightView. It’s got the all the basics that you’d expect from a top flight-tracking app –track by flight number, track by route, flight mapping, speed and altitude, departure and arrival info, delays at major airports, notes — the works, basically.
FlightView is nicely designed and easy to use. You also can save flight info to build an itinerary, which is a must for frequent fliers. But that’s also where FlightView’s Achilles’ heel presents itself — there’s no integration (yet) with a service such as Tripit. You have to manually input all of your flights, which is OK if it’s just one or two, but a big pain if you have connecting flights. The developer tells us, however, such service will be added in future updates.
But for now, if you’ve looking to try another travel app, FlightView’s a solid performer. It’s available in ad-supported form, or for the low, low price of 99 cents. More pics and download information is after the break.
