Once in a while, there is something you wish you had downloaded on your Windows Phone. It might be a flashlight App or a stopwatch App. Fortunately, there is something out there that will take care of just about any need you may have and it’s all in one place. Let me introduce you to Swiss Army Knife by borneo mobile. Swiss Army Knife rolls 15 total tools into one svelte App. With an install size of just 27MB these 15 pieces take up less an 2MB each and pack enough punch to become a needed install for most users. I’ll cover a few of my personal favorites in this review, but there is so much more that Swiss Army Knife has in-store for you, that you really should just click the link and grab it now.
The counter App is something I use daily to keep track of production parts in my day job. Instead of those handheld clickers that wear out, my Tap To Count App does a perfect job for me. It also works great for counting people in attendance or if you have a room limit you need to watch. The Tally clicker is very handy to have around.
Fake Call allows you to have Swiss Army Knife call your device, or at least pretend to call you, to get you out of that awkward moment that you just don’t want to stay in. A few quick clicks and you can schedule a call for just a minute or two later and pretend to have that emergency to get out of whatever you don’t want to be doing.
The Alarm Clock portion of the App is very well done as well. It’s a great alternative to some of the other Alarms out there and being built in to Swiss Army Knife makes it even nicer. I would recommend purchasing the full version of Swiss Army Knife if you plan to use this feature because of the glaring ad at the bottom of the clock.
The notepad section of Swiss Army Knife is just as easy to use and is very functional. I wouldn’t rate it the top note taking App available by any means, but if you are low on space, having it included is a nice bonus.
I’m not a huge fan of rulers on phones, unless you happen to have a 10” phone. But for measuring a few little things here and there, Swiss Army Knife does a decent job. I don’t think I would try any micrometer style measurements with this one, but for measuring a few basics it works pretty well.
Another very good tool to use in Swiss Army Knife is the level. It works great for simple tasks like hanging photos or leveling a table. Again, I wouldn’t depend on it for leveling something that has to be 100% perfect, but it seems like it is about as dead on as any bubble level I’ve used.
The last tool that I use constantly in the Swiss Army Knife toolbox is the conversion calculator. It does exactly as it says, converts units from one to another. It is dead on and so easy to use. There is plenty to love in this particular portion of Swiss Army Knife, so if you ever find yourself wondering how many quarts are in a gallon or how many miles are in a 5k, you can get the answer pretty fast with the unit converter.
Swiss Army Knife is one of those Apps that you just don’t appreciate until you don’t have it any more. As someone that installed this App long ago, I can’t imagine running it on my Windows Phone. Again, if you find yourself ever wondering if it is worth the download, remember you get all 15 tools for free in ad supported mode. For just $3.99 you can make the ads disappear from Swiss Army Knife. Swing into the market and hit the link for Swiss Army Knife right now.
