Also jojoyee the links on the apps still point to the old market link and not to the google play link - lots of work for u :P
Thanks for your good suggestions Av_Crazy.
Under the product titles, the old Market links have now been replaced with the new Google Play links. The QR codes still work as they are automatically redirected to the new links.
U must have changed them just now..they were linking to old market links when i posted..great job !
Thank you, Jojoyee, for working on this. The QR codes are an awesome addition.
Here's an app to review...
Party Mixer by Pun Software
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.punsoftware.mixer&hl=en
It is a free DJ program with built-in crossfader. Most people would say... "Why do I need that?" The answer is for workouts. You make a playlist (directory based) and enable crossfading for no gaps in music when you are running or lifting.
It has very poor documentation and takes some time to learn. But, it is free and useful.
Thanks again,
Wook
Must have!!

GO Launcher EX & Win7 theme. Best App for the Android EVER.
Finally a smart phone. Honestly guys, it is everything the Android GUI should have been but never was.
and
FREE!!!!!
A good list, but would dispute some of the omissions:
* Web Browser: Firefox. Latest version is the one of the few browsers to allow a sideload of Flash on Android 4.1.1 (Nexus 7 user here) to actually work and you really do still need Flash in a browser I'm afraid. Note that the latest Chrome and Dolphin releases do not support Flash on Android 4.1 at all (even with a Flash sideload), so I can't see how anyone can recommend them any more on 4.1.
* Chess: Droidfish. Port of the PC Stockfish engine, it has a nice interface, loads of options and is easily the strongest free chess on Android.
* Reversi: Droidzebra. Hugely strong port of the PC WZebra program - even setting it down the bare minimum levels still require immense efforts to beat it.
* Remote Control: No love for the official XBMC Remote then?
No "Best Market app" category, which is a huge omission (AppBrain or Getjar anyone?).
Is there actually a free music player that will either search folders automatically (e.g. /mnt/sdcard/Music which is an obvious place to look!) or let you specify folders to search? It seems that most free players just use the Android media indexing and give no option for this and, yes, this includes Winamp and many others.
[Moderator's note : Reference of commercial app removed]
Very good suggestions rkl. Droidzebra is a good choice and now added to the list. Chess by JWTC also allows third-party engines including Stockfish to be installed, but I'll look into Droidfish where it has that engine built-in.
Thanks for all who have suggested many apps here. Keep them coming and they certainly will be checked out in due course.
I've tried some cross platfrom "BBM like direct from phone number" instant messaging applications because my contacts use various OS (Android,Blackberry,Nokia and iPhone iOS).
- Kik Messenger
- eBuddy XMS
- Live Profile
- Samsung ChatOn
And I also use eBuddy XMS. Not as popular as Whatsapp yet, but interestingly I can use both phone number and PIN. Currently supports picture profile, location etc.
I think XMS has potential to be a great IM.
Kik ... well I do love it. It's pretty fast!! I like the send,delivered,read notification. Unfortunately the Blackberry version is not as good as the Android version. I don't blame Kik, I blame Blackberry :) Since some of my important contacts use Blackberry so I had to leave Kik.
Live Profile, just tried it for a while. Not really like it because it uses dark UI (black).
ChatOn. This Samsung IM has potential. I do not like the current UI to be honest, and it's not popular yet. I'll wait.
[Moderator's note : Commercial app details deleted. Not allowed.]
CamCard Lite is recommended by many. But why does the app need permission to call phone numbers without the phone owner's intervention? Only malware would want that kind of permission. CamCard Lite may not be malware, but why does it need that permission??
@Peter, this FAQ might help: Why does CamCard need my phone permissions? (Android)
Thanks Jojoyee, that explains it well. I will go ahead and download this app.
