Koush is a massive tool... Stop spamming me about your stupid SMS app Sheesh

Mobile Shopper 2012

Surprisingly bad! I'm a big Consumer Reports fan/member, but this app is just really bad. Landscape mode doesn't work, even when typing on a slider phone with a landscape keyboard. Products on ConsumerReports.org don't show up in the app. The app is slow and unresponsive. I got an error the first time I launched it about a file not existing. The price grabbing is really lame compared Google Shopping.

Songbird

Really? Why does it include voicemails from Google Voice as songs? Ugh. Crap.

by Ken the 10/30/2011

Linux Journal

Hmm How do I download past issues?

by Ken the 10/28/2011

Feedly

Unusable Huh? Menu brings up settings? Why are half my feeds blank squares? Doesn't use standard android user interface. Absolute crap.

by Ken the 10/5/2011

GO Contacts

Regrettably, not a suitable replacement. Screen transitions are bloated and unnecessary. App feels great, but shows all accumulated contacts you have, not just "My Contacts" like it's supposed to. Such a great concept, and so close to being usable.

Ultra KB Hero Theme

Very nice, but needs an update This makes Ultra Keyboard look less awkward on my HTC Sense device, but it needs updating a bit, since HTC Sense has changed its look a bit.

by Ken the 9/30/2011

TSwipe-Pro keyboard

No multi touch? Also, can't really evaluate the product, as some features are only for paid users. How about a trial version?

by Ken the 9/9/2011

Pure Breeze Launcher Lite

Unreasonable EULA! Software is a product, not a contract.

by Ken the 7/21/2011

touchqode

EULA is absolutely asinine.

by Ken the 6/25/2011

PadMapper

The original website is great but this app is crap. Someone really phoned it in.

by Ken the 6/25/2011

HTML5 Canvas

Loving the drm-free books from O'Reilly!

Puffin Web Browser

Somehow includes a version of Flash that works with hulu but terrible framerate.

Algebra Tutor

Spamware. The developer should categorically apologize.

by Ken the 6/7/2011

LockPattern OnOff

This app doesn't work. It just dumps you to your lock/unlock settings page.

by Ken the 6/7/2011

Delayed Lock TRIAL

Just too amateur to try to even use

by Ken the 5/27/2011

Ambling BookPlayer Lite

if I can't load music from the sd card, how am I supposed to evaluate this application?

by Ken the 5/27/2011

Perfect

Adware

by Ken the 5/24/2011

Doodle Picture

Just say no to EULAs.

by Ken the 5/23/2011

Ace Roller Blackjack

Good but I would like to have the strategy table take input. Like an interactive strategy table. Also no workie on a HTC Flyer.

by Ken the 4/16/2011

Remote Web Desktop Full

Really very useful and easy to use. Just needs SSL.

by Ken the 4/13/2011

AnDOSBox

Guys, while his business model may be questionable, selling gpl software is actually OK. The catch is, anyone can redistribute it for free.

by Ken the 4/8/2011

[root] live dmesg

The green text top and bottom sorta ruin it.

by Ken the 4/7/2011

Underwater Live Wallpaper Free

Doesn't scale.

by Ken the 3/31/2011

SoftKeys for ROOT USERS

I set it up as the task switcher in cyanogenmod 7.

by Ken the 3/31/2011

Walk and Text

Developer responds to emails very quickly. Seems like a good app idea too.

by Ken the 3/30/2011

Nagroid

Doesn't scale up to a tablet sized screen.

by Ken the 3/30/2011

NagMonDroid

Absolute positioning makes it awful on a tablet. Just use the sdk properly.

by Ken the 3/30/2011

Trac Client BETA

Won't log in. Has fixed size that looks stupid on a tablet

by Ken the 3/24/2011

BuzzBox News

Ads. Sharing doesn't use standard android intents. Generally low quality software.

by Ken the 3/17/2011

Where’s Waldo? In Hollywood

I see Capcom has decided to make an incredibly awful game and sell it for a ton. Brilliant!

by Ken the 3/16/2011

TAKEphONE contacts dialer

Can't evaluate app in 15 mins

by Ken the 3/16/2011

RocketDial Trial (SmartDialer)

Gestures are useless and the translation to English in this app is a fail. Put to?

by Ken the 3/9/2011

Charmap

Well since I wrote it, I have to give it 5 stars.

by Ken the 3/8/2011

Save my Attach

Why gmail doesn't do this by default is baffling.

by Ken the 3/7/2011

Defensoid

Drm is never OK. I'm boycotting this app. Refunded.

by Ken the 3/6/2011

Dev doesn't answer bug reports.

maps 4 twidroyd

Ubemedia is now spamming paid app users.

by Ken the 3/2/2011

Sense ADW Theme

This isn't good enough for you to charge yet. Figure out the dock without an ugly hack and we'll talk.

by Ken the 2/23/2011

Document Scanner Trial

Wtf? Perspective and white balance correction is another app to buy? That's the whole point.

by Ken the 2/22/2011

Terminal Helper

Exactly what I needed. Though it would be nice to be able to edit one off commands instead of having to add them.

by Ken the 2/13/2011

ADW Theme: Nexus S Gingerbread

Too big. 3mb? Cmon

by Ken the 2/7/2011

The Denver Post

Asinine terms of service. You don't sign a contract to read a newspaper. You get it, dp?

by Ken the 2/3/2011

Ubuntu One Music

$4 per month just for streaming music I already own? Try $10 a year.

by Ken the 1/27/2011

GPS Share

Simple and elegant!

by Ken the 1/25/2011

FINALLY. Now I can not work from anywhere with ie wherever I go.

by Ken the 1/25/2011

Paper Pilot

Fun but 20megs and no move to SD card? Refund please.

by Ken the 1/20/2011

Tomdroid notes

It'll be useful when you can take notes, but good progress.

by Ken the 12/27/2010

Remote VNC Pro

Not bad but needs a better way to send custom key strokes.

by Ken the 12/18/2010

Paul's Featured Apps

More like app of the month.

by Ken the 11/30/2010

Alcohol Tracker Free

11.1oz beer? Huh?

by Ken the 10/27/2010

Doesn't support daap properly: no auto discovery, requires username when daap does not.

by Ken the 10/22/2010

Meh. Not as clean as you'd hope.

by Ken the 7/25/2010

OpenAnnie Caller ID

Buggy.

by Ken the 7/1/2010

Market Suggest

Adware. Shows dumb flash screen every time you task switch to it.

by Ken the 7/1/2010

Zirco Browser

Adblocking is a little weak. No double click to zoom.

by Ken the 6/27/2010

AdvancedLauncher

Crashes right away. Nexus one froyo.

by Ken the 6/26/2010

Unix Power Tools

No export to SD. Boo

by Ken the 6/17/2010

TrueCaller - Caller ID Lookup

Crappy interface. Hassles you every time you place a call that is not in your phonebook. Nags you about rating application.

by Ken the 6/17/2010

Call Blocker Pro

GUI is awkward: can't select items on menu by clicking on text. Can't automatically block all toll free numbers.

by Ken the 6/15/2010

mkRemote

Requires some custom software on PC. Not a true Bluetooth keyboard.

by Ken the 6/15/2010

Cocktail Hero

Cool little app.

by Ken the 6/15/2010

Learning Java

Now exports to epub. Great value.

by Ken the 5/29/2010

NPR Live Stream

Bah. Just wraps m.NPR.org in a browser with extra ads.

by Ken the 5/25/2010

Sun - LED torch

Does nothing but crash.

by Ken the 5/23/2010

Where's the epub export! Booo drm. Refund.

by Ken the 4/26/2010

Great gui. Does not integrate with my o'reilly account.

by Ken the 9/9/2009

Print too small. Got unnamed "exception" parsing feeds. Google sync poor.

by Ken the 6/24/2009

POS doesn't work in landscape mode. Uninstall.
