After briefly trying out Diaro, I experienced a minor bug preventing a saved entry to show up if it was the first entry dated in a month earlier than the recorded month in my diary, though the entry did show up after re-starting the app. Or it might be just me.
Dear Jojo,
I have replaced Diaro with Colornotes as Diary app. Colornotes is a great app.
Thanks Jojo :)
Official Merriam-Webster Dictionary App is out. It is really great and also allows offline access. Has all the features that a dictionary must have.
It is recommended to replace this Dictionary over the old one.
Please supply a download link for the "free" app. All I can find say "license" and "buy now" in which case these comments will be removed unless you can help us out with a link?
Yes MC, there are other versions and some titles which look quite similar are not free. The free one looks good and now added to the list.
Might be good, but it is NOT freeware..........
It is. That's why I mentioned it here. btw, I've tweaked through it and found it really good.
I like the free anti-malware product from webroot.
Wonderful list, I've recently taken the plunge into Android and this will definitely help me to pick out the chaff.
I love Jorte, I use it all the time, I link it to my Google Calender so me and my wife can both see our schedule. I also use an app called 2X client on my tablet to connect to my PC upstairs, not really an app for everyone, but I find it really smooth and responsive.
I would also like to suggest 2 unique applications:
1. Relax and sleep - comes with unique ringtones to function as alarm and countdown timer utility.
2. Pulse - a news aggregator with beautiful interface.
Dear Jojoyee,
Pl consider above apps also.
I would like to share one thing about Go Launcher EX. When it is updated, it has to be selected as a default launcher. This can be solved forever by installing Home Manager to keep it default and to toggle between the launchers.
Thanks.
Thanks Abhay2009. I've briefly tried these two and need more time to test out to see their pros and cons while comparing them with other available freeware.
About after defaulting the Home button action to Go Launcher EX, I usually apply one of the following ways to clear its default action when needed:
1. Generic method: Clear default in Home button > Settings > Applications > Manage applications
2. Specific to this launcher: Home button > Preferences > Exit GO Launcher EX.
But Home Manager provides an option to toggle between two launchers. If one freezes you can remove defaults easily without going through so many steps. Therefore request you to consider trying it.
I also request you to consider once again Youlu Address Book as it provides me very easy interface as compared to stock application. Further it has improved a lot since you reviewed for the last time.
Thanks.
Hi Jojoyee
May I suggest the Speedtest.net mobile app? I've found it to be incredibly useful. Wherever I go, whether using the 3g network or a Wifi hotspot, I can test the speed of my phone's connection so I can see what kind of performance to expect from my Internet-based apps.
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.zwanoo.android.speedtest
Thanks for keeping such a helpful list. I have many of these apps installed on my phone and I couldn't imagine using it without them.
Glad that you like this list IronPlatypus and many thanks to all site members and visitors having made good suggestions.
Definitely Speedtest.net Mobile is one of them to make to the list.
iRunner is a really fun game.
You should definitely add handyCalc to this list. It includes a great scientific and graphic calculator, unit and currency converter.
I've already told once about this and you've not replied. Pls check and reply.
My apologies for missing out a good chance to try out this app.
The current version 0.51 of handyCalc available from the Android Market doesn't work well on Android 2.x. It's known to have a keypad problem in which a user is not allowed to enter any numbers from it, let alone doing calculations :(
I've downloaded the previous version v0.50 from the developer's site and it works on Android 2.x. The app is outstanding in its class and will be added to the list soon.
[Update]: handyCalc Calculator is now added.
HAVE ANYONE TRIED GO LAUCHER EX. IT IS FREE EASY TO USE AND CUSTOMIZE AND COMES WITH A LOT OF THEMES AND WIDGETS (FREE). IT IS INDEFENSIBLE FOR ME AFTER LAUNCHER PRO PLUS STARTED FREEZING ON MY PHONE.
Many thanks Abhay2009 for the various good suggestions. ZDbox, Cube Calculator and 3G Watchdog mentioned by you are now added to the list and your other recommendations will be looked into.
Why Colornotes has been dropped from the list? The new version 3.0 comes with a calendar and reminder utility.
Another good suggestion Abhay2009. Added now and classified under Best Free Reminder/To-Do List as it's closer to that category in this list.
Pl also consider
Battery Minder - for battery alerts!
ZDclock - versatile alarm utility
SecretLock - for locking files.
Thanks Abhay2009. SecretLock seems to be identical to iLock which is currently available from the Android Market or unless I'm mistaken?
Its a kind request. Please type in small alphabets. In net etiquette, capital letters means you are screaming.
ANOTHER SUGGESTION:
3G WATCHDOG IS BETTER THAN ANY OTHER MOBILE DATA MONITOR APP.
Dear Jojoyee,
I would like to suggest to wonderful applications:
ZDBox - ALL IN ONE SYSTEM UTILITY SMALL IN SIZE AND VERSETILE.
ZDCLOCK - WONDERFUL ALARM UTILITY - ANYONE WOULD START LOVING IT. SO EASY TO USE.
CUBE CALCULATOR - PL TAKE A NOTE OF THIS GOOD CALCULATOR. IT IS VERY HANDY AND USEFUL.
REGARDS.
You forgot Docs!
Google's app to work&sync with your Google Docs.
Why keeping local notes if you can make it safer in the cloud and always accesible from other devices and computer?
The widget makes it quick to launch existing docs or make new.
But remember to NOT move it on SD card if you wish to use the widget, Android doesn't support widgets from SD card.
Go Docs ;)
how do you register android phone so as you can download free apps
Pinky Dress is broken.
Battery Improve is also broken. I think there's a newer version, "Battery Improve(new)", which I think is the same?
