Android Mouse and Keyboard

Impossible to try demo. I can only use bluetooth, which the developer has completely disabled in the demo version. Will not pay for something so crippled that cannot be tested at all.

by aelfwyne the 1/18/2012

GPS Test

Okay. Wouldn't be necessary if phone manufacturers learned how to make gps that worked. Still does not read signal strength correctly on the g2x.

by aelfwyne the 1/15/2012

Make Your Clock Widget Beta

Crippled. Everything on the gallery designs says pro version only. Free version is completely useless.

by aelfwyne the 1/11/2012

Dragon Go!

Still dumb. Asked it "send message to Bob" and it did a google search for which the first result was how to send a message - with Siri. Also needs to bind to long press of search key like stock voice does.

by aelfwyne the 12/28/2011

AccuWeather Quick

Ok. Widget is very plain and ordinary. Does not adjust to current location when travelling.

by aelfwyne the 12/22/2011

JLPT Words

Nice. Good for review but one must keep in mind the readings chosen aren't always the most common.

by aelfwyne the 12/15/2011

asteroid for ladio.net

No results. No steams are visible. Does not work.

by aelfwyne the 12/15/2011

Human Japanese

Ok but, Constantly "forgets" that it downloaded already. Ok. BUT PLEASE DO NOT SUSPEND DOWNLOAD IN BACKGROUND! Takes long enough as is.

by aelfwyne the 12/13/2011

Tasker

Recently broken. Worked forever but suddenly constant force closes on cm7.

by aelfwyne the 12/12/2011

Perfect Viewer

Hmm. Has gotten more and more arcane and difficult to use. Bookshelf feature is nearly useless.

by aelfwyne the 12/9/2011

"Yasu"'s ADW Theme. MOE-Droid

Works. But I'm not wild about the icons.

by aelfwyne the 12/7/2011

ROM Manager (Premium)

OK. Not sure why I upgraded? Did it long ago. Nice to support the devs I guess

by aelfwyne the 12/7/2011

SMS Backup +

Does the job. I have absolutely no complaints about this app. Does the job well, plus I love being able to integrate call and SMS history into my Gmail.

by aelfwyne the 12/7/2011

Kanji-Quiz

Nice app. If you're wondering if this one is worth your time, then give it a shot. Definitely worth a look.

by aelfwyne the 12/4/2011

Just Player

すごいですこれはすごいです。

by aelfwyne the 12/3/2011

MagicLocker Main

Works. It works. Looks nice, love the zipper theme.

by aelfwyne the 12/3/2011

GO Locker

Requires go launcher. Won't work on its own without go launcher.

by aelfwyne the 11/30/2011

QBright

Great. Live that it can be mapped to long press the search button. LG must think I want auto brightness to burn out my retinas at night.

by aelfwyne the 11/30/2011

IceCream Sandwich-ICS Keyboard

Very nice. Best Ics keyboard yet. Is there any chance of the ics voice input features being made available?

by aelfwyne the 11/29/2011

Call Master

Does nothing. Have tried all blocking modes. This app does absolutely nothing on my rooted G2X.

by aelfwyne the 11/27/2011

Autostarts

Still Awesome. Much better than a task killer, this stops tasks at the source. Some devs think their apps are golden and need to fire at any events. This stops them.

by aelfwyne the 11/27/2011

Zeam Launcher

Fast. You think your dual core phone's launcher isn't slow. Then you try Zeam and realize what fast really is. Eye candy is for babies. Speed Rulez.

by aelfwyne the 11/27/2011

handyCalc Calculator

awesome. This is the calculator that should have come with Android.

by aelfwyne the 11/26/2011

FBReader

Works okay now. I have issues with older versions of this application. But it seems to work great now.

by aelfwyne the 11/24/2011

aSQLiteManager

Cannot edit data in UI. Ui should allow editing of currently viewed data. It does not, it only copies to clipboard. Should not need to know/type SQL to change a field.

by aelfwyne the 11/12/2011

LCDDensity for Root

Does not work on G2X. Rooted, tried all reboot methods, it just plain don't work.

by aelfwyne the 11/12/2011

3D Hyperspace Live Wallpaper

Please quit lying to users. I Gabe no problem with paying for additional features. But I do have a problem with liars. You said "totally free" in description which is a lie.

by aelfwyne the 11/12/2011

Japanese Quiz

Handy. Handy, but not the most user friendly. Also, not for beginners.

by aelfwyne the 11/9/2011

Perfect Task Switcher

Limited activation options. Only two options to activate, no choice to use NEITHER option. I have CYANOGENMOD which lets me customize long-press home and that is exactly where I want PTS to be. NOT in place of my home key, and NOT in place of voice actions! Also, it seems like it can't seem to get previews for ANYTHING.... It also shows background processes and the actual real launcher as open apps... Very amateurish.

by aelfwyne the 11/9/2011

Agenda Widget for Android

Ugly white blob. I tried those a long time ago and noticed an ugly white blob that you cannot remove with themes. Still there on the right.

by aelfwyne the 11/8/2011

Adobe Photoshop Express

Average. Does nothing that a dozen other apps don't also do. Camera zoom FX does it all in one place.

by aelfwyne the 11/7/2011

life.contacts beta

Nice. Works fine on my g2x.

by aelfwyne the 11/5/2011

UPnPlay

Great. Works great for video streaming with mx video player. LG G2X.

by aelfwyne the 11/3/2011

Lightning Storm LWP

Looks pixellated. Does not look very good. I wouldn't want to look at this every day.

by aelfwyne the 11/3/2011

Elixir 2

Nice. Would be five stars if the status bar feature worked live in the pulldown rather than being a dummy that just links to a popup.

by aelfwyne the 10/27/2011

CurrentWidget

Does not support g2x. Cannot read current on g2x. I'm sure it's fine for others but it didn't work for me.

by aelfwyne the 9/15/2011

MPC - Remote LITE

Basic. Was hoping for something much more powerful and this is basic as can be. It does work.

by aelfwyne the 9/6/2011

Armitage's Dimension Radio

Nice but lacks features. Need website features such as favorites, requests and maybe chat.

by aelfwyne the 8/25/2011

Battery Left PRO

OK. Profiles sound good but are not helpful, has no way to remind you or switch on it's own, so I spend half my time on the wrong battery profile.

by aelfwyne the 8/21/2011

AnTuTu Benchmark

Doesn't work. It may work for others but on my phone all I ever see is after it completes the entire benchmark no scores show up, all stay zero.

by aelfwyne the 8/18/2011

gMarket - App Market

Works. But I don't get what this offers over appbrain.

by aelfwyne the 8/15/2011

XDA TV

Broken. Videos don't play. Opens browser and kicks me back to the app. Galaxy S Vibrant.

by aelfwyne the 8/15/2011

BakaReader

Good but not great. Does not show story synopsis from the website. Also needs full screen mode and ability to hide the zoom buttons. Frequent connection errors.

by aelfwyne the 8/14/2011

adbWireless (Widget version)

Awesometastic. Can't think of any reason NOT to use this. I was looking for a Bluetooth solution, but wireless is even better. Saves wear & tear on the USB port on the phone, which considering my phone is 1 year old, I'm beginning to worry about a bit.

by aelfwyne the 8/14/2011

Agile lock free

Junk. Double lock screen even when following all instructions to fix. does not enable itself after reboot. Does not go to last active screen after unlocking

by aelfwyne the 8/14/2011

Swapper 2 (for Root users)

No good. Caused lag and random freezes / reboots.

by aelfwyne the 8/13/2011

Universe Farm QB☆Magica

Pretty. But confusing. It would help if I knew what I was doing.

by aelfwyne the 8/11/2011

Supersonic ™

Horrid Control. Even after calibration the controls are slow and unresponsive.

by aelfwyne the 8/9/2011

JA Sensei

Not free. Please be more honest if you are going to charge for full features of the application do not lie and say it is to save resources and then ask for paym

by aelfwyne the 8/8/2011

Japanese HIRAGANA Free

No good Too basic, voices are garbled and echo. Doesn't include.letter.combinations. You can get better that are still free.

by aelfwyne the 8/7/2011

JED - Japanese Dictionary

Might be ok Could be worth it, but I wouldn't know. I cancelled the dictionary download after an HOUR of downloading and it wasn't even close to done - on WIFI.

by aelfwyne the 7/24/2011

Boot Animation Changer LITE

Works, but most animations require pro upgrade to use. Completely free does not mean COMPLETELY free.

by aelfwyne the 7/7/2011

mkv SubExtractor

Useful since every android video player lies about mkv subs support.

by aelfwyne the 7/6/2011

Super Clock Wallpaper Pro

Light version was fine and I wanted more options, so bought this. Even at smallest font sizes, text flows off my screen and is screwed up. Refunded.

by aelfwyne the 6/19/2011

Network TrafficStats Lite

Free version is crippled.

by aelfwyne the 6/19/2011

Remote Notifier for Android

Does not fully work. Notify over Cell network DOES NOT WORK. I am 110% sure I have port 10600 forwarded in my DD-WRT based router, I am 110% sure I have the correct IP address (external), but it just simply DOES NOT WORK over Cell Network with IP Address. The only option that works is broadcast over Wifi.

by aelfwyne the 6/15/2011

Antennas

Need to figure out how to work with 3G or it is useless.

by aelfwyne the 6/15/2011

Sensorly (4G,CDMA,GSM & WiFi)

Nice concept, but as others have noted it will eat your battery like a fat man at a japanese hot dog eating contest. And now it wont even load.

by aelfwyne the 6/13/2011

Sakura Pro Live Wallpaper

Won't download, hangs on authorizing purchase. Refunded.

by aelfwyne the 6/8/2011

Best Anime Wallpaper HD 20000+

Works fine on my Vibrant. Perhaps some of you didn't notice the wallpaper and save icons? Minus 1 these are all VERY old anime, nothing recent.

by aelfwyne the 6/7/2011

BLN control - Free

I just don't like the concept .

by aelfwyne the 6/6/2011

Louder Volume Hack

Get over it Yes, the app is useless on any modern phone. But the description told you as much! If you bought it when you had a G1, etc, then it worked on that phone. It no longer works on your Galaxy or EVO, etc. AS ADVERTISED. Now, as for me, I just wish I had a way to remove paid-for apps from my market list so I could quit seeing this and a couple others every time I go to the market.

by aelfwyne the 6/6/2011

Japanese for Smart Keyboard

Awesome! If you know how to use a Japanese IME, this works great, and lets you use one of the best keyboards around. Easy to switch from English to 日本語 as well.

by aelfwyne the 6/5/2011

droid VNC server BETA

Too slow to even think about using, even with the USB redirect .

by aelfwyne the 6/5/2011

Discount Calculator

Works and does what it says. Very simple and easy to use. Please do not bloat it and make it complicated, I use this at work all the time .

by aelfwyne the 5/29/2011

Minimal Reader

Works as advertised. Looks great on minimalist homescreens.

by aelfwyne the 5/29/2011

Small Agenda Widget

No option to launch custom calendar app. Also does not allow U. S. style date format.

by aelfwyne the 5/28/2011

GDE - The new home experience

Abandonware

by aelfwyne the 5/12/2011

Kanji Yomi Lite

Finally, kanji handwriting that doesn't care about stroke order. Now if only it had an offline dictionary.

by aelfwyne the 4/8/2011

Balanced

Needs built in codes for major carriers. Also cannot handle dates in result such as bill due dates, etc.

by aelfwyne the 4/8/2011

USSD Checker

No preprogrammed ussd codes at all. Not a one. Needs to offer lookup by carrier.

by aelfwyne the 3/24/2011

News de Japanese[LearnJapnese]

Kicks back out to the home page before I can view the article. Unusable.

by aelfwyne the 3/10/2011

StreamFurious

Getting thrown out to the web browser when trying to find a station is not cool at all. Effing sucks. Cannot subscribe to any Shoutcast feeds.

by aelfwyne the 2/11/2011

[Japanese]NHK News

Good listening practice for learning japanese. Arigigatou gosaimasu.

by aelfwyne the 1/17/2011

WriteKanji

Very responsive developer. Responds to user requests and resolves issues promptly.

by aelfwyne the 1/13/2011

GST (Galaxy S Tweaker)

Not much that isn't Already done by gingerclone or nero. Also does not support jl5.

by aelfwyne the 1/9/2011

WMD-Weather Lite

Good start, some rough edges remain. For instance, when set to Fahrenheit it still shows C.

by aelfwyne the 11/11/2010

Stars In Space

Good start for a new live wallpaper. Would like to see adjustable speeds and possibly other colors or objects as well.

by aelfwyne the 11/11/2010

Tango - smart.fm client

Takes what is a great learning website and turns it into something painful to learn with.

by aelfwyne the 11/4/2010

Bamboo Forest Live Wallpaper

The best live wallpaper I've tried yet. Gets a lot of notice when others see my phone as well.

by aelfwyne the 11/4/2010

WriteKana <3 Catharsis Edition

Excellent tool for practicing basic hiragana and katakana. Responsive developer. You aren't so poor you really can't buy it are you? Didn't think so.

by aelfwyne the 11/4/2010

WriteKana

Excellent practice tool and responsive support. Added to the toolbox! Really love the new styles, flexes the old brain muscle.

by aelfwyne the 11/2/2010

Japanese ladio.net　Appli

Excellent. Get my Nihon fix on.

by aelfwyne the 10/12/2010

T-Mobile Visual Voicemail

Won't work on my flexpay account.

by aelfwyne the 10/12/2010

SGS Tools

Some parts just don't work and the rest I had already done. Can't revert market fix and the prop editor doesn't work.

by aelfwyne the 10/11/2010

Network

Does not work for Vibrant or Galaxy S phones. Not the apps fault, the dialog it launches does not work.

by aelfwyne the 10/10/2010

User Dictionary Manager (UDM)

Can't seem to find the user dictionary on Vibrant.

by aelfwyne the 10/7/2010

deciBel

Works after a fashion, but it seems to be very dependent on the levels of the microphone in each type of phone which varies a lot.

by aelfwyne the 10/5/2010

Touch Test

Worked for stayed purpose. confirmed five multi touch points on Vibrant. Then it froze and did a force close.

by aelfwyne the 10/4/2010

SensorInfo

Worked for what I needed it for which was to test my sensors. Does have an ad at top but that's ok on an app like this.

by aelfwyne the 10/4/2010

Android Sensor Data

All sensors read INIT and show no data. piece of crap software.

by aelfwyne the 9/22/2010

GmailWidget+

Excellent. Some more choice of sizes would be rad.

by aelfwyne the 9/18/2010

0xBench

Does a lot but doesn't tell you what any of it means.

by aelfwyne the 9/18/2010

Benchmark

Very outdated. There are much better options on the market now.

by aelfwyne the 9/16/2010

Antenna Widget

Does not show tower location. Also does not accurately show 3g capabilities.

by aelfwyne the 9/16/2010

Paperless System ADWTheme

Would be good if more of the standard system icons such as the dialer were skinned as well.

by aelfwyne the 9/13/2010

DeviceInfo

Very light in info. Did not, fir example show that the phone has both 16gb internal memory or the size of the sd card.

by aelfwyne the 8/28/2010

Kanji Tutor

Very nice app, easy to use and very good learning took. The prizes are a little over the top but fun.

by aelfwyne the 8/22/2010

KatakanaIME

Pathetic. In almost every way.

by aelfwyne the 8/22/2010

Kanji Recognizer

It works as advertised. It would be much better if you could put several kanji to the clipboard rather than just one. As is it is not very useful.

by aelfwyne the 7/23/2010

Audio Buddy

Works well but the sliders do not hilite when receiving focus so you can't tell which one you've selected with trackball.

by aelfwyne the 7/23/2010

LangLearner Japanese Lessons

This app needlessly downloads ALL LANGUAGES and not just the to and from Lang. Wastes download, time and space.

by aelfwyne the 7/15/2010

WordzUp! Upgrade

Nice game but I got bored of it after a while. Funny while it lasted.

by aelfwyne the 7/15/2010

Survive! Japanese Lite

Might be fun for some but not for me.

by aelfwyne the 7/15/2010

Hiragana/Katakana Drill Demo

Also bit basic. Not very interactive.

by aelfwyne the 7/15/2010

KanaTest

Too basic. Does not provide much feedback.

by aelfwyne the 7/14/2010

Langleo

Claims there is a download and/or import but such an option does not actually exist. Also no support for Japanese or any non Latin language. Junk.

by aelfwyne the 7/12/2010

Hiragana Cards

Needs review mode. As it is it is nothing more than a quiz and useless as a learning tool.

by aelfwyne the 7/12/2010

GettingThere Japanese - 1

The voices are robotic sounding and muddled. Maybe OK for review but not for learning new phrases. Very difficult navigation as well.

by aelfwyne the 7/8/2010

chibiJisho

decent phrasebok though it could be more complete. It does force close on me regularly however.

by aelfwyne the 6/20/2010

Tetronimo

Good game I just forgot how burned out I got on this type of game back in the 90s....

by aelfwyne the 6/11/2010

Market Suggest

Seems that popular apps overshadow any attempt at returning results that are actually related to the app it is basing suggestions to.

by aelfwyne the 6/6/2010

Hanzi Lite Chinese characters

A basic flashcard app. Useful only if you are studying a more complete course as it doesn't teach phrases.

by aelfwyne the 6/6/2010

XVocab

A little more attention to detail and this could have been a good app. Needlessly difficult installation and ui makes it hard to use. Rough edges.

by aelfwyne the 2/10/2010

you should be banned from the market. Unfortunately Google approves everything now.

by aelfwyne the 2/10/2010

SmartphoneBench

looks like it could be good, just needs an English translation.

by aelfwyne the 2/8/2010

AmbleLink Notepad Basic Ed.

will not open files that have non standard filenames. Forces you to rename files first.

by aelfwyne the 2/7/2010

Chinese Flashcards, set 0

Very basic with no scoring system or method to track progress. Yes this is just a demo but there are better apps that cost less.

by aelfwyne the 2/6/2010

Learning Chinese

needs more vocabulary.

by aelfwyne the 2/5/2010

PandaTheme:Blossom Age

do not like the internet explorer styled browser icon.

by aelfwyne the 2/2/2010

AnyStop: York Region Transit

This Devs should be banned for flooding the market and using shills to rate his own apps.

by aelfwyne the 2/2/2010

My Market

This was a great apparently until it quit working. The market seriously needs these features.

by aelfwyne the 2/2/2010

AnyStop: Houston METRO

This developer should be banned. Not only is he spamming the market needlessly (all cities could be in 1 app) also is shill rating.

by aelfwyne the 1/30/2010

Chengyu

Needs an easier way to browse/search. Also force closes regularly.

by aelfwyne the 1/30/2010

ZDT²go

No scoring, no reviews, flashcard is tiny. Without some kind of interactivity this is not very useful.

by aelfwyne the 1/29/2010

嫩輕鬆輸入法

Seems to be unique so far. I think English directions could be useful - I have been looking for something like this to lookup words in the dictionary.

by aelfwyne the 1/26/2010

Flashcards - Chinese

No feedback or adaptation of any kind. No scoring method or ability to select level / difficulty. Doesnt feel like a learning experience.

by aelfwyne the 1/26/2010

eStroke

good idea but HORRIBLE UI that is not in the least intuitive. Confusing and frustrating to use. Seems to work on 1.6. no reason it should require 2.0

by aelfwyne the 1/25/2010

Everyday Chinese

good start. needs more phrases to be useful. also an option to not read aloud the english bit.

by aelfwyne the 1/25/2010

Collins Chinese Dictionary TR

no way to look up hanzi that you don't know the pinyin for.

by aelfwyne the 1/25/2010

Oxford Beginners Chinese TR

no way to look up hanzi that you don't know the pinyin for.

by aelfwyne the 1/17/2010

Androrb - Orb on your Mobile

Videos show but give errors instead of playing. This is a waste of space.

by aelfwyne the 1/11/2010

OR Player Lite (Online Radio)

all plugin categories come up empty now. Completely broken.

by aelfwyne the 1/11/2010

Learn Russian Free WordPower

As others have pointed out, the volume on this is too low to be of much use. Fix this and it might help worth buying.

by aelfwyne the 1/11/2010

Backlight Off

REQUIRES ROOT DO NOT RATE IF U DON'T HAVE ROOT! -- Please an update to fix having to run it twice to enable the backlight. Simple fix!

by aelfwyne the 12/28/2009

Bubble Level

Like many others it is off by 2 degrees on my g1 also. If this is to be expected then it needs a calibration option.

by aelfwyne the 12/5/2009

Dice Roller

Harder to use than real dice. Can't see myself using it.

by aelfwyne the 11/29/2009

Smart Monitor Pro

TRIAL VERSION ONLY. Google should require trial versions to say so up front.

by aelfwyne the 11/26/2009

Dolphin Browser (Social&Smart)

Nice. Not always tested fully before updates unfortunately but it works now.

by aelfwyne the 11/20/2009

MySpeed

Shows my speed. Doesn't appear to record anything at all and even erases the track if the phone is rotated. nice try. No cigar.

by aelfwyne the 11/13/2009

Unread Gmail (All Mail)

Have to change my rating. Good idea bit it doesn't show my unread mail even if there are already some showing in the gmail app on the phone. Broken.

by aelfwyne the 11/12/2009

CipherLog™

Seems to do the job. Very bad that you cannot change the password without deleting all entries.

by aelfwyne the 11/9/2009

Shortyz 1

Doesn't work very well on the puzzles I tried out. The interface still needs a little work to be very practical.

by aelfwyne the 11/7/2009

PowerTime Widget

Sorry, gave it a day and the time it shows bears no relation to reality, appears to estimate based purely on standby time not actual usage. Refunded

by aelfwyne the 11/6/2009

Vibrate During Meetings

Useful.

by aelfwyne the 11/6/2009

3gtest

A lot id info, some useful. However no option to save or log any info as well as missing a few checks such as compression & traffic shaping.

by aelfwyne the 11/3/2009

Three Kingdoms Land MasterLite

Nice looking game, very professionally done. Can't give it 5 stars though as it seriously needs an interactive tutorial mode to figure it out.

by aelfwyne the 10/26/2009

CallFilter(old version)

Needs area code or wildcard blocking.

by aelfwyne the 10/19/2009

)s) Internals For Android 1.0+

Displays info, not writes. You can't "write" anything with this app.

by aelfwyne the 10/15/2009

Fuzzy Clock Widget

Even on "less fuzzy" it is too fuzzy. At 4:22 it still said "ten past four" when i turned the screen on.

by aelfwyne the 10/14/2009

Blockx 3D

Nice game. Hard to see the depth of levels though.

by aelfwyne the 8/29/2009

Sound Route Switcher

Does not work with any bt earpiece I have tried. Not worth buying even at the "promotional" price.

by aelfwyne the 8/19/2009

Bookmark Folder Manager Free

Easy to use and does what it says. Can't ask for much more. Except maybe import/export.

by aelfwyne the 8/18/2009

Sysinfo

Does what it says, but no useful info that can't be found without it.

by aelfwyne the 8/12/2009

Better Keyboard Skin - White

This convinced me to buy Better Keyboard.

by aelfwyne the 8/12/2009

Bloo - Native Facebook (Free)

Quite clunky. Rather use the website until the official comes out.
