Funky Expenses (No donation)

Nice app, but how about QIF export? I like the clean, simple UI. How about adding QIF export? That would really be useful.

Cash2QIF

Multiple Accounts? Send to do what it says, but it would be a lot more useful with support for multiple accounts. UI could use polishing, too.

QuickRegister

Too Simple. Needs a few more features to be useful to me: multiple accounts and manual currency selection (I use UK English, but Canadian dollars).

Toronto Transit Tracker

Works pretty well, but it has some problems. GPS works well, but would be nice to be able to choose from other nearby routes when it's wrong. GPS shows streetcar routes on Bus tab. Live locations on map don't work at all. Some routes (e.g. 506 Carlton) have multiple "directions" that are really the same, but with different destinations -- consider collapsing them? All that said, I think it's the best TTC app available today.

Next TTC

Doesn't use GPS to find my route/stop. Crashy. I really like the simple, clean UI, but the killer feature is missing: I'd like it to use GPS to immediately find my route and stop (and allow me to switch to other nearby options if it guesses wrong). Also, too many force closes for my taste. Still, there's a lot of potential here!

DavDrive Lite

Works flawlessly! I'm using it with an Ubuntu desktop, and I'm delighted! Fast and error-free! Upgrading to paid version for the locale plugin.

Starbucks

There's a whole world out there, Starbucks! It's great that Starbucks has finally woken up to the fact that Android is a huge market, but how about noticing the world beyond the borders of the USA? I understand that app-based payment only works in the US, so how about just disabling that feature elsewhere and letting others use the store finder, check their card balance, reload their card, and check their rewards? And what about all the missing features compared to the iPhone app: drink builder, menus, gifts, jobs? This is still a sub-par effort.

Legend Viewer

Nice! Works great for Doors Open 2011. Fast, simple and attractive UI. Navigation support is a nice plus.

Cycle Hire Widget

Best UI I've seen in this type of app. Works great in Montreal and Toronto. Thanks for the quick BIXI Toronto support!

Spotcycle

UI Issues The UI is really hard to use. The iPhone-like buttons look out of place, and the buttons up top that only appear when you hit menu...really? It took me forever just to figure out how to add a station to my favourites. There are a few nice features, but with that UI, it's just not worth it. I'll probably just stick to the Bixi layer in Google Maps.

Locale Notification Plug-In

Far too many force closes, unfortunately (Nexus One, Gingerbread). But it still does what it's supposed to do.

Grocery Smart - Shopping List

Best Shopping List App I've Found Simple, clean attractive UI. Extensive built-in item list, with ability to add and categorize additional items. Aisle ordering works well, but lacks auto-scroll when dragging. Web site sync works perfectly so far (most other shopping list apps fail hard in this regard). Haven't yet tried sharing lists. Only one FC so far.

Veloid

UI broken on Nexus One. Main content overlaps tabs, cutting off the text. Looks pretty promising otherwise.

WorkItOut

Somewhat usable but it needs work. UI is clunky and back button behaviour is still wonky. Unfortunately, I haven't found any better alternatives.
