I tried a couple different apps for Thing 3. The first one I tried was Google Search. I was really excited to try Google Goggles. My family participates in an annual trivia contest that includes a visual trivia packet. I thought Google Goggles might be a great tool to help find some info on some of these very obscure images. It found 1 or 2 but wasn't as successful as I had hoped it would be. It was fun to use though. I will keep Google Search on my iPad because I like to have more search options than just one at my fingertips. I didn't try the voice search but may sometime in the future. I could do a comparison between the Google voice search and Siri since my experience with Siri has been a bit frustrating.
The other app I tried was called Stand Up. This was kinda fun but I had it set to 30 minute intervals which were too frequent. The other problem I had was that I don't necessarily sit still for 30 minutes at a time so I would get up to take care of something, come back to sit down and the alarm would go off telling me it was time to stand up and do an exercise. I found myself ignoring it a lot because of this. I did enjoy the different office/desk exercise videos and still make use of some of those from time to time.
