Asphalt 5 FREE

Not bad HTC Incredible (single core): Sound keeps cutting out so most of the game is played in silence, but framerate is smooth and 3D graphics and textures are clear and nice. Gameplay seems a bit simple compared to PC racing games (hah), but I did find myself overcorrecting and swerving after a near miss, so there is an element of challenge. The AI was fairly intelligent, moving to block.

CSipSimple

VoIP testing - I use this preferentially (instead of PC softphones) at work to test customers' port forwarding. Fast operation, consistent behavior.

Astrid Power Pack

Good - I like the ability to preview the power pack 4x4 widget in regular Astrid; that made up my mind. The icon looks like Astrid with rabbit ears :)

Photo Enhance HDR Editor

Photo CROP, in my opinion :) Resizing & adjusting photos, wallpaper. New option to lock the crop aspect ratios is very helpful (1:1, 3:2, etc).

Fonality HUD Mobile

Currently in beta, but showing great promise. HUD chat integration is working quite well, and I was able to speak w/ Paul on the integrated softphone.

Apparatus LITE

3D engine quality level is what I'd expect to see on a desktop PC. Flexible fun game; very precise positioning possible. Wireball recommended.HTC DInc

OS Monitor

Status icon of cpu use is invaluable for me in judging which apps are the most efficient. Saves time not having to guess if I need to kill an app.

Crystallight Defense

Thanks for changelog (that was fast)! Now if I could just reset a profile after having accidentally picked the wrong upgrades early on...

Meteor Deluxe Lite

Smooth controls. Superior graphics and art compared to some competing apps I tried; looks artistic. Changelog wanted. Plays well on my HTC Incredible.

by Wireball the 6/23/2011

Le Brickk Mania: Brick Breaker

A tad slow when the ball starts going at a low angle. Accelerometer & touch controls work. However, I find Meteor more exciting. HTC Incredible.

Sensor Test and Plot

Ad free? Nooo! Just kidding. Cool app; you can see the plot bounce with each step for example, and it's interesting to run when riding in a car.

Web to PDF

No issues encountered on HTC Droid Incredible. Saves page in Dolphin HD to PDF file.

Giant Fighting Robots

Hit the weapons icons at upper right when mission begins to be able to fire. Somewhat dark; needs gamma adjust. Fun: 2/5. Tech: 4/5. DInc 2.2

FTPServer

Fastest way to manage my phone's filesystem. Sign in from a desktop PC using FileZilla and take advantage of easy file transfer & rearrangement.

by Wireball the 2/25/2011

Starlight Live Wallpaper

Nice shooting stars! Kudos for new CPU load feature; "Reduced" mode Incredible cpu use now 20% 1GHz. I suggest v.slow clouds for subtle visual effect.

Xmarks for Dolphin HD *Premium

Excellent Dolphin browser addon. I'm looking forward to subfolder support, but even now I can add bookmarks from my Droid to my shared Xmarks folders.

Formulas Lite

I'd like more power convert; ex: HP to watts. Update release notes; what's being changed? Keeps asking me to try newspaper app; but I'm not interested

Augmented Traffic Views

Needs a clearer interface with more explanation. Rarely showed anything in the top frame (camera?) around Hawthorne/Culver City, Los Angeles.

by Wireball the 1/9/2011

Relax and Sleep Plus

Pleasant and relaxing. Needs chanting monks bonking themselves on the head with boards, like in Monty Python.

MessagEase Game

Could only be improved by making it more than a scoring game. E.g. type the letter that's attacking to shoot it down ;)

by Wireball the 12/24/2010

Clear the Swarm

Surprisingly fun 3rd-person shooter. It strikes me as odd that you tap on the opposite side of the direction you want to fire, but then you can see.

by Wireball the 11/21/2010

Under the Hood

Presents a wide selection of info. Increase / decrease font (from menu) is a nifty feature. Recommended for rooted phones!

by Wireball the 11/21/2010

ipconfig

Good and effective; minor issue is DHCP lease time is incorrect. However, I also like Network Info II, which shows more (public ip, etc).

by Wireball the 11/21/2010

QuickSSHd

Seems to have a tendency to allow ssh clients to remain connected even after alleged shutdown. But works very easily.

by Wireball the 11/21/2010

Surveyor

Works pretty well after one figures out that one needs to adjust the camera height from the floor on the left.

Dolphin Tab History

Very useful when I want to reopen a previously closed tab. Too bad it doesn't preserve the back button history.

Image Leech Free

Fails to load many significant images (e.g. on webcomics) and force-closes on Newegg.com. I emailed the dev. Maybe 1.6 will show improvement.

by Wireball the 8/9/2010

ViewPic

Non-standard controls (long-press to zoom). Should auto-skip non-loading files on fling right. But lightweight and does what it says.

by Wireball the 8/9/2010

Picture Viewer

To pan: hold, then drag. Sometimes sits at black screen. Always starts at beginning. But shows good potential, and has high display quality.

by Wireball the 8/9/2010

PiQture Free

Doesn't load full res picture when you double-tap to zoom; very blocky. HTC Incredible. "Large Image Viewer" is superior.

by Wireball the 8/7/2010

Linphone Video

Seems more susceptible to static than SIPdroid. Maybe SIPdroid has a bigger jitter buffer. But Linphone is simpler to configure. HTC Incredible 2.1

Top

Lets you see CPU utilization by each individual app. It will be perfect once it gets some way of keeping columns aligned (fixed-width font) & sorting

Black Widow Diary #2

Story is fairly predictable here. I enjoyed the first chapter more. To be fair, I'm not a fan of the bumbling detective and smart assistant genre.

by Wireball the 7/11/2010

Black Widow Diary #3

Good art, kind of simple (but amusing) story. Decent length.

by Wireball the 7/11/2010

Birth #3

Great art, but a weak and inconclusive end to a generic story. Non-spoiler: I assume the same thing is happening over the planet.

by Wireball the 7/11/2010

Birth #2

Great to look at. The story is fairly generic, and mainly just serves to tie the art together.

by Wireball the 7/11/2010

Birth #1

Very nice artwork, story is limited.

by Wireball the 7/11/2010

Black Widow Diary #1

Has to be zoomed in (menu -> zoom), but nice artwork and reasonably interesting story.

by Wireball the 7/11/2010

ghostboy

Not enough story to get me hooked nor want to pay for the next chapter. However, some neat technical effects like the buzz and animation.

by Wireball the 7/11/2010

When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth

Rather enjoyable & readable. This is the first comic I read on this platform, but comic ratings are highly subjective. I like the premise.

by Wireball the 6/25/2010

Lock Delay

Behaves well on Incredible, does what it says. No more having to enter my pattern every time the screen sleeps (using 10 min. pattern lock delay).

by Wireball the 6/24/2010

WifiMapper - Map and Test!

Hard to pick out details on close proximity APs. I was hoping to see APs others had mapped; but no. If it had a scan & auto connect mode, I might keep

Words in the "w" category. How about an explanation of what the words mean, or something? Might as well have posted a text file.
