Liquid for Android

Intiutive and powerful.

At first I thought that this was a lite version of Alfred or spotlight however I was mistaken. As those are geared toward app launching / searching for computer files, Liquid is geared toward searching for the etymology/definition/translations of words. If you are working with large bodies of text and are constantly translating multiple languages or looking up the root of many words, this app is a must have. You can also add additional reference/search sites that encode the search paramater within the URL and create a summary view of lengthy articles, a welcomed time saver.

I really like the app, a great tool to access certain sites instantly! I use it to study and research. But since I use onenote most of the time for notes, it would be the BEST if flow can also work in onenote. Right now when I select a word in the app, nothing happens.

Install this and you can quickly search while using other apps - just highlight the text while you are working in your other app, hit command-shift-2 and return, and the Google search results open up. If you don't hit return, you can instead select other searches, such as Wikipeadia or Google Scholar. This is a really useful tool. I wish PubMed was one of the places you could search; hopefully it will be added in a future addition.

This is an essential application. To be sure it is elegant, brilliantly executed, and a time saver. The ability to properly cite and retrieve quotes from the Internet to use now or repurpose later is invaluable to a writer or researcher. The shortcuts to search specific or designated websites allows the Internet to become more accessible in daily workflows. The ease with which one can translate from English to French with no need to take your hands off the keyboard is a wonder as is the ability to convert from different measurement units. I use this app multiple times during the day, and it remains wondrously new.
