Voice Choice 2.0

Indispensible I honestly don't know why Google Voice doesn't work this way in the first place. I subtracted one star (I would just do a half start if I could) because I find the UI somewhat clunky, and the "reverse functionality" option can make other options confusing. For example, if I have "reverse functionality" checked, does adding a suffix use GV or *not* use GV? Complaints aside, this is a great supplement to google voice, and a worthwhile upgrade from the free version. Monry well spent.

FlexT9 Speak-Trace-Write-Tap

Great on phone, OK on tablet I use this on my phone all the time. It's easily the best of the swipe-style keyboards, IMO. I particularly like the way it offers word suggestions -- much less intrusive than Swype. Unfortunately, it's OK at best on a tablet. Swype came preinstalled on my tablet, and it has a killer feature that flext9 lacks -- the ability to shrink to a small (more or less phone-sized) keyboard. On a large tablet, spanning the entire screen is actually a disadvantage for swipe-oriented keyboards as it makes you travel much further for the same effect.

When I try to log in, the application claims that my email address is not valid. (It is)

Experience Mardi Gras

Poor performance in real world use. Tries to refresh too much data on each use instead of caching.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Force closes, poor overall performance. Having to swipe to turn the page is annoying.

Tiny Clock Widget 2

I like that it is small and nice- looking. Wish there were more good 1x1 clocks. I agree that tap to go to alarm or clock app would be useful.

Archipelago

Good little game. I've grown tired of it, but I definitely got my money's worth.

z-Uninstaller

Handy. I don't understand the complaints about the ads - feel free to write the program for yourself if it bothers you that much.
