NJTransit Rail

Missing key functionality Great UI, fast loading data and some unique tweaks. Sadly, it only shows direct trains, and won't show routes that include connections. For example, to get to NY Penn on the Gladstone Line, mostly requires a transfer at Summit. This app only shows the 2 direct trains, early in the morning. The NJT mobile site provides this info.

Kaiten Email

Best Android email app...but I've tested all Android email apps, including K-9 Mail. Kaiten has the best functionality, workflows and interface. In addition, the developer posts frequent updates. However, I deduct 1 star for 2 interrelated issues: 1: No local folders. The many POP3 users (thanks, Verizon) can't keep important emails on our devices, unless we do contortions via email forwarding, etc. 2: The developer's refusal to answer my email requests for this feature.

BirdieSync

Brilliant app... but they neglect to mention that it'll cost you $20 to use after 20 days. I'm not that lazy yet... Uninstalled.

Noteman - note manager

Non-intuitive UI, no tutorial or instructions and the website is Chinese.

GoToWeb Full

A lot slicker then GoToWeb freeware. But, while the freeware uses only a few hundred kb, this was running 19mb RAM in the background. Uninstalled

ExtDate Widget

Great looking, customizable and needs very little home-screen real estate

Contact View Free

Excellent enhancement for Contact Lookup. Provides a much better/richer view of contact data than the default apps

Contact Lookup Pro

Just what I have needed! Search contacts by 1st/last name, company, email, notes...anything!!!

Calendar Colors

Allows for a simple, yet important Calendar enhancement, for a very small fee. Especially useful if you have multiple calendars syncing.

aContacts

Big improvement over stock Contacts, with lots of neat & useful functionality. 1 star off for not fully supporting Android v2 (too many f/c)

Android Volumer

Simple, elegant and complete volume management. It even boosted the earpiece volume a bit om my Moto Droid 1

Hot Reboot

Fast reboot, but had to uninstall...caused a lot of lag and hang on running apps. Don't know why

by PJ Arts the 9/3/2010

GoToWeb Old

Very useful, and developer refines it constantly. Grand slam if it only integrated with the browser

by PJ Arts the 6/29/2010

Ultimate NYG

Tiny font, no zoom, mediocre UI

by PJ Arts the 6/7/2010

NewsDroid

Great content...when you can get to it. 75% of of the time , you can't, because the "data loading" icon just keeps spinning (and the data never loads)

Movie Trivia - Taglines

Approx 25% of the time when I press the correct answer, it says 'INCORRECT'...then, it says the correct answer is the one I had pressed

by Peter J the 5/21/2010

Google News

None of the links work. Using it on Moto Droid/ Android v2.1

by Peter J the 5/19/2010

Contacts GroupU

Best contact manager for Android. Loses 1 point for lack of K-9 Mail integration

by PJ Arts the 5/19/2010

Newspapers Ad free

Almost 200 national & regional newspapers, and you can add your own faves. 1 point off for the few sites that don't zoom

Baseball Scores

Scores, standings and real-time game data. Fast, nicely laid out and free.
