Infinite Design

Take the time to understand this awesome, improving app, which already beats the drawing apps of Adobe and Autodesk!

Poynt

For 'movies nearby' alone this is a must-have app. Used to be rubbish for UK, but now it's great (at least for London)

The Impossible Game

Uninstalling this game before it ruins my life...

MyLifeOrganized (beta)

Pro: can organise levels of subtasks in a tree, has calendars reminders etc. Con: crazy complicated interface despite fairly standard features.

MaplePaint

GREAT - I prefer this to the awesome Sketchbook Mobile. I'd pay $$$ for a pro version with opacity&saturation on colour picker & Adobe style pen tool

The Daily Mash

Well made app. Can read on the tube! Never again will I endure that ad of an unemployed Harry Hill filming himself hitting some guy dressed as a tree.

Tube Map

It's a good, up-to-date map with a handy (if optimistic) journey planner that works underground. Loses star for frustrating interface & intrusive ad.

Hanzi Recognizer

Since this has stroke order info, it'd be great if it had option to go other way too: find with pinyin, see + learn stroke order, then practice hanzi.

Loops!

Brilliant now you can use it to write proper chunks of songs (needs android v2)

Chordbot Lite

Fun, useful and great for learning advanced chords by ear. I'd pay for keyboard visualations of the chords being played

Motivation Coach

Horrible self help cliches. If you like that you'll like this. why does it look up my location during install?

1Pod - Spanish Images Vocab

Poor. It's a really slow dictionary, with unrelated Google Image search results along the top, and a robot voice to mis-pronounce the words for you.

Bublmap London Tube

Out of date circle line, no overground at all.

Qype

Brilliant for London. Shame about the ads for Google - thanks guys, but I have heard of Google before...

AG Spanish Newspapers PRO

Great! Really nicely laid out, easy to use, 8 papers. Sure there's prob a way to do this for free with rss but the convenience and ease is worth 50p

Abandoned Mine

Brilliant game, but as others say, bad controls. Try 4 buttons: 3 bombs & a map/scroll/zoom: an even number'd ease down touch. I'd buy more levels.

z-Chinese Calligraphy

This seems to be an encyclopaedia-style article, rather than an app. Good read, but that's what the internet is for.

Peintureroid

Buggy but good attempt at a real drawing app with layers, undo, opacity, pen pressure etc. Please update! Android needs a good paint app!
