SystemPanel App / Task Manager

* The developer refuses to respond to reports of problems. Also has displayed a negative attitude. I like the app, but bugs need to be fixed!!

SD Tools

No longer works. Gives me an error about reading the buffer. Appears to be doing a write test but progress indicator doesn't move and speedometer shows write speed that is too high to be possible. Motorola Atrix 2.3.6 (Bell)

Star Chart

* Constant updates. Updates need to be made smaller. Surely *everything* doesn't need to be downloaded with each update???

Earthquake Alert!

+ This is my favorite earthquake app. Be sure to download the Earthquake Alerter addon to be notified soon as quakes occur. The dev is responsive too.

Smart Battery Monitor

Beware!! The ads in the app are the scammy "you have a virus!" kind that try to scare users into clicking.

Earthquake!

- I much prefer Earthquake Alert over this one.

Traffic Counter Pro

I previously supported this app, but the app stats being lost on reboot isn't acceptable. Developer doesn't respond. Now I'm using "My Data Manager", and prefer it.

The Bird Soundboard 2

- What is a "starlig"? New species?

by Steve the 12/8/2011

Mystical Grass Live Wallpaper

- Fireflies not realistic. Can't then them off. Grass doesn't look natural. Not many customization options. Meh.

by Steve the 12/5/2011

Cats Sounds

- No way to stop a sound manually. At one point several were playing at once. Pressing back button also didn't stop sound.

Signal Finder

"Searching for towers..." is all I got when I tried it. It never did find any even though I'm surrounded by three of them. Waste of time! Bell Mobility, 4G HSPA, Halifax, Canada.

Gentle Alarm (TRIAL)

- Unpolished, rough around the edges. Alarm keeps phone awake while going off; wake up to battery drain. I really wanted to like this app!!

by Steve the 11/26/2011

Stream Media Player

No good. Poor selection of TV. Errors trying to stream. Waste of time.

by Steve the 11/26/2011

The Simpsons: Trivia

Meh.

by Steve the 11/26/2011

Who Said It? Simpsons Edition

In many cases the answer is obvious due to a poor choice of available character pictures. Its like no effort was put into this at all. Quote punctuation is also lacking.

by Steve the 11/20/2011

App Update Notifier

- BEWARE of the ads in this app! Many of them are scams!! The developer should be ashamed at not choosing legitimate ads!!!

by Steve the 11/20/2011

Quick System Info PRO

- It put several icons on the notification bar, and I could not find a way to remove them. UNINSTALLED. Intrusive crap that doesn't let me decide.

by Steve the 11/13/2011

NetCounter

Uninstalling. Too basic!! No options for anything.

by Steve the 11/12/2011

Police Radio Lite

- Nothing available for Halifax, Nova Scotia in Canada. Useless to me!

by Steve the 11/1/2011

Glass Destroyer

. There aren't even any rules or instructions in the game itself to explain how to play! Why should I need to come to the Market to find that info??

by Steve the 11/1/2011

Droots Live Wallpaper

RIP OFF!! Heed the warnings in the user reviews for this overpriced crap. I hope the developer is reading them. I don't mind paying... but hate greedy devs.

by Steve the 11/1/2011

CBC News

Absolute crap! Ugly, useless, lacking any sort of options to customize the app, etc. Rarely updated. A pathetic offering from the otherwise stellar CBC.

by Steve the 10/30/2011

My Data Manager Free

Getting better. Much improved since I last tried it out. Still needs more advanced configuration options though.

by Steve the 10/30/2011

Package Tracker Pro

Awkward, but works. There are aspects of the app which don't operate in a logical way... but it works once you overcome the quirks. Developer brushed off these issues.

by Steve the 10/28/2011

Smart Keyboard PRO

. Nice, but laggy at times during fast typing. Developer has refused to respond to reported issues on numerous occasions.

by Steve the 9/2/2011

Talkdroid Messenger

The best MSN client I have tried. Better than the rest. Doesn't drain the battery as much as others. Works well. Needs more features, and developers are working on them.

by Steve the 8/3/2011

Task Switcher

Not bad, but PreHome is better. This one closes itself sometimes and doesn't kill apps when you tell it to. Developer refuses to reply to problems.

by Steve the 7/12/2011

ZenDice free

No changelog means no respect for your users

by Steve the 6/26/2011

MultiTasking Lite

I installed a few task switchers and compared. This one was the slowest and least "smooth" in day to day use. Has some nice features though.

by Steve the 6/23/2011

Water Tracker Lite

No changelog means no respect for your users.

by Steve the 5/24/2011

SearchLight

Gave an error about the LED not being found, then proceeded to turn the LED on anyway. But then it wouldn't turn it off. I had to kill the app. Atrix.

by Steve the 5/24/2011

Network Usage

Doesn't save stats if you reboot your phone like other apps do. Waste of time!
