Apps of the Week: Disk Usage, ZDBox

  • Disk Usage

    Disk Usage

    ZDNet UK is now recommending an App of the Day. It seems only polite, now we have our own app, to take a deeper look at this lively area of mobile tech — and, of course, we'll do it with the needs of enterprise IT at the top of the list.

    Sign up to our News Update email to receive our daily recommendations. Alternatively, check out our weekly round-up of the best mobile apps:

    1. Disk Usage
    Everything old is new again, and with mobile phones the far-off days when computers ran out of memory and disk space are back on the radar. This simple but useful program explores your phone's internal and SD card storage, showing what's eating the space through a rather swish, dynamic interface. DiskUsage only does one thing, but it's one you'll need.

    2. ZDBox
    This handy set of tools gives you much better control of your apps, lets you set 'do not disturb' times to silence annunciators, supplies a decent overview of phone memory usage, manages tasks and so on. A per-app password system lets you guard your sensitive bits while letting pals play. ZDBox is free on Android.

    3. Solaris Alpha
    Keep a weather eye on solar activity and geomagnetic events with this 3D pictorial app that shows what the Sun and Earth are up to. Get alerts for incoming solar storms, flares and auroras, or inspect sunspots in various different frequencies of light. As things hot up in the solar cycle and the chances of GPS or other disruptions increase, this is a valuable early warning system. Solaris Alpha costs £1.22 on Android.

    All the data from all the sensors on your phone, displayed in one place. Useful if you're developing an app with sensor input, fascinating if you're just curious about what your phone can detect. Includes links to Google Maps, logging, export to CSV, how much power each sensor system takes, and general system description. AndroSensor is free on Android.
