NI Rail

Best NI railway app! The multi-train journey functionality now makes this app very usable! Holiday timetables should be included though. Would also be good if it could also show buses - the developer should hook-up with Translink and evolve this into the official Translink app to make it happen!

McAfee Mobile Security (Trial)

Needs work. Causes many games (e.g. Asphalt 6 for one) to pause on my Xperia - after much testing I isolated McAfee's background processes as the culprit. This is not acceptable. The new "app protection" feature is also not available on my Xperia.

SystemCleanup

Good, but why does it need to run in background? I would only like it to run when I want to do some cleaning! An option to backup to SD would also be good as well as just freeze ( freeze just renames the file).

Dolphin Translate

Better to just "share" text with Google Translate app. It will truncate the translation of anything more than a few words long. The "translate" button will also not appear in landscape mode (Xperia Pro)

Scientific Calculator

Great! Great! Love the new layout as old was too small. Though there is a bit of wasted space at bottom on Xperia pro. Please also bring back haptic feedback

Arkadroid DEMO

Good, pity only very short demo. Did the black ball not also rip through silver blocks in the original game?

7digital Music Store

Runs unnecessary background service Even when all UI integration settings are turned off.

PRemoteDroid

great! this is the best bluetooth remote app I found - very smooth mouse movement. A couple of things: The "windows unicode alt trick" is the only way to key numbers and symbols working with my hardware keyboard, but is a bit laggy. The arrow keys on my Xperia Pro's hardware keyboard also don't work.

RemoteDroid

works well - very smooth Though my xperia pro has a hardware keyboard with different layout to g1. Special characters and numbers don't work (require alt key). A Bluetooth version would also be nice because my wi-fi connection is unreliable. Would be nice if you could also be able to configure mouse scrolling direction.

Rhythm Racer 2

Is 40MB and no ability to move to SD!

iGeology

Not as good for Northern Ireland Larger scale maps only and no details for NI. Could also do with a key to show what the colours mean.

UTV Live

Ok, however no ability to move to SD card.
