LiveView Manager

Appears to work as described for me. On Nexus S. However, I would love to see more functionality. In particular, a Locale/Tasker plugin allowing me to ensure that LiveView is connected to in some areas but is ignored in others would have been helpful.

Yandex.Maps

Верните язык! Я понимаю, почему надо было сделать английский перевод, но почему не сделать опцию выбора?!

Xabber

Best XMPP client I know. But I would really like to see public intents to set online/offline status so that I can automate sign in and sign out with Tasker. In fact, if you just made it have a Tasker/Locale plugin interface it would be perfect, but intents will do.

PhotoInfoEraser

Force close upon sharing a picture from camera. Works otherwise, but the idea is to use it in a chain of share->share and that doesn't work.

handyCalc Calculator

I love it. What I always wanted was a pocket equation solver. Not a calculator, a computer algebra system, which would chew through simple systems of equations and produce an answer without forcing me to dig out my math books that I haven't touched in years. Back in the DOS days there was Eureka, and nothing came quite close since in terms of simplicity and immediate usefulness... except this!

Locale gtalkcontrol Plug-in

Does not seem to work terribly well at the moment. The interface is borked when loading the plugin in Tasker, I only see a checkbox but whatever is written in there is presumably black, so I don't see it on black. A checked checkbox results in a 'sign in' action, an unchecked checkbox results in a 'sign out' action as seen in the Tasker task list. The 'sign in' action works fine, but it's sign out that I was after, and that does not seem to produce any results. Might be the Gingerbread on my Nexus S...

Secure Settings

Almost perfect! Only other thing I wish it had is the capability to turn 3G on/off, which Tasker doesn't do natively on 2.3 Rome.

SpiderOak

Needs work, and soon. With the recent Dropbox screwup, lots of people will be looking for alternatives, and SpiderOak looks the best one to me -- but with the mobile app not even logging in for me, I can't say I can switch immediately.

GeoCam

Potentially highly useful. I can imagine a lot of reasons to keep it on my phone even if I won't use it regularly. It's still kinda raw, (If you delete the photos taken with it without using the delete button in the program itself, it will forceclose on startup.) but hopefully it will improve shortly.

EboBirthday Contact Sync

Needs more attention. A recent sync ended up creating duplicate contacts (with birthdays) which were no longer members of 'my contacts' group, which kept me quite puzzled for a while.

QIWI Wallet

Bump - это было лишнее, 60мб оперативки явный перебор.

Songs & Dragons

Very promising. Better than what I used back in the day when I GMed regularly. If it also had a dice box and some system for randomly selecting things from tables, it would be the best mobile GM aid ever.

URLy - the URL sharer

Absolutely lovely. The best way to quickly tweet a random picture, and while I don't use the URL shortener functionality much, it would still beat anything else out there in that department. One thing I would love to see in the future is some certainty regarding what happens to EXIF data when the picture is uploaded. That is, I'd rather take pictures with a geotag for my own reference, but upload them without one, unless I explicitly wish to share my location... There should be a toggle somewhere on the upload page for this.
