Enable Text Expansion in the Stock Google Keyboard

Android: There have already been some pretty great text expansion apps for Android. However, if you're using the stock Android keyboard, you don't need to look any farther than Settings.

Technically, the feature is hidden under "Personal dictionary." Here you can enter your own terms, as well as find the ones you've already added. When you edit/create a new word or phrase, though, you have the option to create a shortcut. Once you set up the shortcut, your expanded words will appear as autocorrect suggestions as you type the shortcut phrase.

Warmly Wakes You Up Gently, Encourages Better Sleep Hygiene

Android: Warmly is an alarm clock app for Android that wakes you up gently and smoothly in the morning. It starts quiet, before you need to get up, and slowly raises the volume of your selected wake-up sound. When you're ready to get up, Warmly shows you the weather and gives you a good start to your day.
watch this video for full walkthrough app's features, it's just a bit long. You can select the wake-up sound you want, whether it's the sound of frying eggs and breakfast being made, brewing coffee, a bustling airport, or a simple morning meditation. Five minutes before you're supposed to be up, the alarm will start playing your sound from really low volume, and slowly ramp it up until you hear it, turn off the alarm, and get up. It'll even get the local weather and temperature for you.

It's worth noting that the app doesn't have multi-day alarms, either: the goal is to promote good sleep hygeine by waking up at the same time every day—a tip we've mentioned before. You can snooze the alarm, if you must. Plus, the alarm features an auto-off after 15 minutes, so if you forget it and aren't around to turn it off, your neighbors or roommates won't hate you when you get back. Warmly is $2 at Google Play.

Wallaby Tells You the Best Credit Card to Use Wherever You're Shopping

Android/iOS/Web: Swiping the wrong credit card could mean missing out on valuable rewards, points, or cash back. Wallaby makes sure that doesn't happen to you by telling you which card in your wallet is the best one to use, for any location you're shopping or dining at.Like webapp Reward Boost, the mobile Wallaby apps only require you to choose the cards you own; your credit card numbers aren't needed. You can then see a list of places around you (powered by Foursquare) and tap any of them to get the recommended card to use for that location. It even works with cards that have rotating cash back categories (which can be hard to keep track of). I cycle between four and five credit cards, depending on the location type, and Wallaby correctly identified the ones with the highest rewards across groceries, gas, restaurants, pharmacy, and general shopping.
