IP Cam Viewer Pro

Great app / responsive developer. I used this app with a Foscam PTZ camera until it -- the camera -- died, then bought a Zmodo 4-channel DVR. IP Cam Viewer didn't support the DVR at first, but I e-mailed the developer, set up an account on my DVR for him to troubleshoot it, and a few weeks later a new version was released with drivers that supported my security system! It works great on my Galaxy SII, my Galaxy 8.9 Tab, my Viewsonic G-Tablet, and it worked on my Captivate. IP Cam Viewer just started showing up in my (Sony Bluray) Google TV's market too. The app installs, but camera configuration always fails, despite using the same settings I use on my other devices. I'm going to notify the developer to see if he can get it working, but even if he can't, I'm very, very happy with this app!

Colorize Widget

Room for Improvement I can't tell if this is a blatant rip-off of LauncherPro's widgets or if it was just inspired by LP Pro. Either way, it's what I was looking for. (I switched from LPP to ADW, but sorely missed the Calendar and Facebook widgets.) Two options that I would love to see in future updates: 1) Scheduled cache clearing -- kind of silly to have to manually clear the cache on a regular basis. 2) Notification control - I don't want Colorize to generate Facebook notifications; already get e-mails for that.

Locale Bluetooth Plug-In

Not Working Condition not listed in Locale on AT&T's factory (2.3.4) ROM; not sure if the new phone broke it or if it was the Locale 2.0 update that did it in...

Dropbox Sync for Tasker/Locale

It works, but it could definitely be improved. This Locale add-on does exactly what I need it to do, and it seems to do it well. That being said, I wish it was more-configurable. Suggestions: - An option to create or bypass notifications for uploads in progress, failed uploads, and successful uploads.(I don't feel like a successful uploads worth a notification; others might.) - An option to set the maximum number of upload attempts within a specified internal. (If I uploaded a directory 3 minutes ago, I don't want to upload it again.) - Two-way sync.

Locale GTalk Plug-in Free

AirPush ads have got to go. Those ads are annoying and obtrusive -- and the products and services they link to seem shady. I understand the need to monetize the project, but find another way to do it. I appreciate that there's a reasonably-priced, ad-free paid version... but I'd rather this variant of a "free" app not even be offered.

LauncherPro Glass Sense skin

Price seemed a little steep for a skin BUT it really is the best LauncherPro skin I've seen.
