AnkiDroid Flashcards

Spaced repitition does all the card planning for you! It's awesome! (Market is cluttered with frivolous FC programs lacking SR.) Thanks Nicolas!

Ciacs Contact Sender

Tested it on 2 contacts -- was only able to send 1 of them as a VCF. (Send other as a blank VCF card) G1, OS 1.6

Locus Pro

Locus can manage 3000+ waypoints at once! (Haven't found any other app that does more than about 500) Plus an amazing array of features!

Inches & Feet Calculator

I wish it vibrated (or gave some other cofirmation) when you press a key on the screen. As is, I am always wondering whether the key press registered.

Lifove Bible

Love the parallel viewer! Looks like everyone is wanting this or that transl. so here's mine: NBLH for learning modern Latin American Spanish.

AlpineQuest GPS Hiking

Rotating map is a REALLY nice feature! Add WPs from current position or (using find) GPS cords. Can't sort WPs by distance. Screen text can't enlarge.

Maverick Pro

Can save waypoints even when no service. Compass does not point to a selected "go to" in a way that can be understood at a glance.

AnyMemo Pro: For Donation

Best by far, and just keeps getting better! Spaced repitition, text-to-speech speaks cards, add/edit your own cards from phone, & import decks!

by John-fr the 3/26/2010

AnyMemo Lite: For OS <= 1.5

Deserves 10 stars! Spaced repitition, text-to-speech speaks cards, add/edit your own cards from phone, & import decks!

MemoDroid

Spaced repetition and add cards right from phone! (SR is the single most important feature in a flashcard program, IMO.)

TimeTracker

Does what it's supposed to!

by John-fr the 1/13/2010

TimeCatcher

Excellent! However, I stopped using this because it can't count past 24 hours. (I think.)

LocA

After CM update, all my saved waypoints were gone! Is there no way to backup WPs to the SD card?? Otherwise, love this program!

SimpleLingo Free

Not bad, but the "spaced repetition" does not seem to be working correctly. (Around 3 days later, and failed cards have still not reappeared.)

FlashCard-Droid

May be fine for some, but as far as I can tell, it is not an SRS flashcards program. Can add cards from program. Screen does not rotate for keyboard.

Cache 'n' Go (BETA)

Forces close when attempting to launch program (Donut 1.6) Sounds like a great idea! I hope it's working soon!

GPS ~ a2b ~ Trial

On my CyanogenMod (OS 1.6), it forced close 6 times in a row when I tried to open it, and marked off 6 uses :-( I can't "trial" it, thus won't buy it.

Flashcards (alpha)

Excellent! Uses proven card spacing methods to improve retention! Make/modify decks. (Seems to mark certain cards as "leeches" without informing user)

Phone Search Trial

I would purchase this (and rate it 5 stars) if it would index notes (such as in contacts, notes applications, etc.)
