Chandroid: /b/rowser

Performance issues ANRs all the time, but not using much CPU on my quad-core tablet. Look into strict mode and find your GUI-thread waits. Put the image fetching and management in a separate thread, or better yet, a separate process. None of the other chan apps have this problem.

WootWatcher

Dev, here. It's Woot-Off time, folks! Enjoy! Remember, check the settings under "Woot-Off". If you turn off notifications, I recommend turning off Push as well.

Schwab Mobile

Well Designed and Implemented Both as an investor and an Android developer, I have to say that this is a top-notch app. Very well thought-out, intuitive, and Androidy.

AmazonFresh

I love Amazon Fresh. This app is nicer to use than the mobile site, especially the barcode reader. I wish it had bestsellers and solosellers, though.

WorldCallPlaceAndTime

Nag screen is annoying -- pops up at inappropriate times and seems to be requesting click fraud to fund the app. Sleazy.

Easy Chan

Best overall design and usability of all the chan browsers, except where it is too iPhone like. A button bar on the bottom wastes space. Use menu.

Mobile Package Tracker

OK, but layout makes no sense. Should show list on first screen, with menu to add, and tracking in a new view. No back button confirmation.

System Monitor

Free memory numbers differ greatly from other similar apps.

Drop.IO

Shows a list of items in my drop, but crashes on download, fails to email, and has no view option for text.

DroidDrop - private file share

Really need the ability to show newest entries at the top. I use mine for logging, and it is huge.

Crash app

Came in handy, oddly enough.

Jabbim

Can't connect to server. Probably not checking Jabber-specific DNS settings.

This is a great service for tougher questions that can't necessarily be answered immediately with a quick google, or that require a little research.
