There are already over 100 Android tips in this how-to app, with many more on the way. The database of Droid tips is frequently updated, and the updated tips are downloaded automatically. You can search for something specific, or flip through the tips by experience level.

New features and updates are frequently being released, so be sure to turn on automatic updating or come back to check for updates often.

Most of these tips are for all versions of Android, but a few may not apply to older versions of Android before 2.0. Tablet-specific tips for Android 3.0 are in the works.

This app and all Android tips are in English and Spanish.

The internet and network permissions are required to download the tips. The phone state permission is required for ads, which support this free version. Any other permission previously required for ads have been removed.
