Tabata timer

Doesn't prevent phone from sleeping! On CyanogenMod 7, my Nexus One goes to sleep and the app doesn't prevent that.

OverLoader

The closest to the official PVT test. Now in English! Screen should become blue again after test ends and the user starts a new test.

Local Tweets

Very basic. No map display.

mobileTWS

Go into Configuration first and change the auto-logout. It's only 20 minutes by default. Other than that, good basic app.

BirdieSync

Please implement connection to Android over USB.

EasySMS - Desktop SMS Free

Could secretly spy on your messages. App is allegedly open source but last Google Code checkin was in March. Dev refuses to comment.

Tate Hallaway

Installs an e-reader that links to an invalid file on 4shared.com. Looks like a pirated ebook.

SMS Enhancer

For the SMS Timer, let us edit the entries in the SMS List. I want to resend a finished SMS from the list.

by John the 12/8/2010

SMS Bomber

Why limit the delay to a drop-down? Let us enter an arbitrary time and you'll have an SMS scheduler built-in.

SMS to Phone FREE

I don't want them to record my SMSes. Using EasySMS instead.

Ustream Broadcaster

Eats a lot of battery: 30% for less than 15 minutes live. Nexus One.

by John the 8/5/2010

Camera Watch Alpha

Why does it need permission to directly call phone numbers?

by John the 8/4/2010

Flashlight No Root

Lacks the "super bright" mode that Lamppu has.

by John the 8/4/2010

Lamppu (LED Torch)

Please make the Light button bigger. Right now it's small and easy to miss. No reason not to enlarge it.

Best Self-Help Quotes

"A man of courage is also full of faith"?! Please remove religious propaganda from the app.

by John the 4/3/2010

Clipboard Speaker

Didn't detect that Text to Speech Extended wasn't installed, and made no sound until I installed it. N1 CM5.

by John the 4/3/2010

Backup for root users

Works on N1 but not on HTC Hero with Android 1.5. /sdcard/BackupRoot only contains empty folders

by John the 3/24/2010

TaskPanel

Clock and Calendar are not killed even if in Autokill, and they cause the N1 trackball to flash - very annoying

by John the 3/8/2010

Cat Jokes!

Last update didn't fix BUG: "Why don't cats play poker (...)" and the "mice cream cone" appearing twice. Also, should let us hide jokes we don't like.

RF Signal Tracker (Donut)

Works on Nexus One. Show the other cell antennas and the compass, and I'll uninstall the Antennas app

by John the 10/28/2009

System Monitor

on Samsung Galaxy, shows null for all parameters but the battery

by John the 10/23/2009

aPad

Can't go to root dir, no scrollbar. Please show folder screen on save like on open. Fast when editing 240kb file.

by John the 10/22/2009

NetMeter

Always shows O bytes in/out on T-Mobile UMTS. Also easts up 25-35% CPU itself

by John the 10/19/2009

Glowing Pear

Cool! Any chance to keep the higher intensity light on as long as the screen is touched?

by John the 10/13/2009

Locale SMS Plug-in

Works but doesn't give any feedback that it did send an SMS. Please store the sent SMS in the Messages thread.

by John the 9/20/2009

Talking Compass

If you turn around quickly enough, it will skip the haptic indication of crossing a cardinal direction. Otherwise cool app.
