Tower Defense: Nexus Defense

Galaxy S2. Crashes after a few rounds. 20 million+ SGS2's sold. This is a big market you're ignoring devs.

by Tom the 10/23/2011

AnTuTu Benchmark

Nice App. 5792 on stock SGS2 2.3.4.

by Tom the 7/8/2011

HyperBowl

Crashes to home screen on my Samsung Galaxy S II. 1.2ghz dual core. 1gb RAM. Android 2.3.3.

by Tom the 2/5/2011

gReader Pro (Google Reader)

Got used to aggregated articles from feeds (Google's "all") but wanted a dark theme for battery. This ticks both boxes. Sadly it's quite slow though.

by Tom the 12/19/2010

Timer +

Yes, it's a good timer, but a little overpriced me thinks.

by Tom the 8/30/2010

Wikidroid Plus

Best Wikipedia app on the market. Well worth the money.

by Tom the 8/16/2010

XGalaxy 2 - SALE!

Nice arcade style game. Online scores make all the difference! I'm currently 4th in the world on challenge at level 140!!

by Tom the 8/9/2010

Quickpedia v1.07

Crashes frequently and ads ruin it. Uninstalled.

by Tom the 5/13/2010

German Verbs Pro

Very basic looking app really needs some kind of interactive way to learn. Otherwise it's mainly a glossary. German verbs are hard!

by Tom the 5/13/2010

walk'n'talk Communicator

Not what I'd hoped. Essentially Google Translater with pre-written phrases. Ignores verb gender. UK flag, but US voice accent..? Needs more work.

by Tom the 5/13/2010

German Gender Trainer

Not great. Odd app behavior. Doesn't speak what's on the screen. Actually makes things a little less clear. Good potential, but needs more work.

by Tom the 5/10/2010

VoiceMusic

Funny, but needs more work before it's worth £2.50 of my money.

by Tom the 5/9/2010

Collins Latin Dictionary

Was hoping it would have searchable phrases.

by Tom the 5/2/2010

Lock Pattern Strength

Thanks to this app I took my unlock pattern from "weak" to "good", whilst still keeping it quick to enter.

by Tom the 4/30/2010

Urban Dictionary

Not perfect, but better than the "free" (ad supported) app on the market. If you don't want to pay, the free one is OK.

by Tom the 4/26/2010

Sundroid Sunrise Sunset

Great. Would like the option to manually set the GPS timeout, so the app waits a bit longer for a GPS lock. Otherwise perfect!

by Tom the 4/26/2010

Greek Mythology

I'm sure this is great, but you're going to have to learn to send content to the SD card! This app is way too big for internal storage!

by Tom the 4/3/2010

Photo Find

Great game, but too big for small internal storage. Data to SD card and I will re-buy.

by Tom the 3/29/2010

Sunrise Sunset

Great, but where's the paid version?

by Tom the 3/28/2010

BitWords

Great game. Worth the money and imo the best word game on the market. Needs an in-game option to keep screen on.

by Tom the 3/12/2010

The Wars

Surprisingly good fun. Spent a good few hours on this. Keeping the game to support the dev and their good work.

by Tom the 3/11/2010

Mobile FTP

Great FTP app. Works well on my UK HTC Magic, Android 1.6. Worth the money. Nice UI. Good overall implementation.

by Tom the 3/11/2010

From Below

Nice idea, but needs lots more work before it's worth paying for.

by Tom the 3/11/2010

Apk Manager

Nice, clean UI, but considering how basic it is, it runs with a lot of lag.

by Tom the 3/11/2010

Appack

Seems good, no crashing for me. UK HTC Magic.

by Tom the 3/11/2010

Simple Application Manager

Looks good, but fc on UK Magic when filtering 3rd party and GPS permission.

by Tom the 3/10/2010

HiFiCorder : Record Sound

Good app. Took almost 9mins to compress a 3min max quality recording to 64kbps mp3 on my UK Magic. Great quality recordings!

by Tom the 3/8/2010

uTalk German

Great app for the beginner! Would like more phrases, words (verbs) and tests, but it's not too bad for £5.00! Install data to SD card is required!

by Tom the 3/7/2010

TopVoiceControl

Works pretty well. Wish there was a way to customize the app launch so you could choose a word to associate with an app.

by Tom the 3/7/2010

Speakeasy Input

SpeakDifficult NoInput didn't understand a single word I spoke and always cut me off mid-sentence. Obviously a job for the uninstall & refund button.

by Tom the 3/7/2010

Classic Ringtones

Followed the instructions, but none of the tones showing up, even after reboot... Shame, as I wanted this. UK HTC Magic, 1.6 OS.

by Tom the 3/5/2010

Calories

It's good, but I can make a spreadsheet to do the calculations using Documents2Go & keep historical data too! Sorry!

by Tom the 3/4/2010

Hangdroid

Great UI, excellent gameplay, but American-centric with US spellings! Great if you're American, not so great if you're British...

by Tom the 3/4/2010

Hang Man

Don't like the UI, don't like the categories. Sorry, but it's not for me. Others might like it.

by Tom the 3/4/2010

Natural Clock

Great! Gives the info I need! Polish it a bit, add a bit more location detail (like, resolving lat & long to town/city etc) & I'd pay a USD for it!

by Tom the 3/3/2010

IQ Test - Calculate Your IQ

Good. Well worth the money. Might be more accurate if it took age into consideration when calculating IQ though. Please add this in a future release.

by Tom the 3/2/2010

National Rail

Excellent app. Very professional. Works really well. Well worth the money. Would appreciate journey cost information also.

by Tom the 3/2/2010

Antennas BETA

Good. Showed me my nearest tower with fair accuracy.

by Tom the 3/2/2010

NHS Near

Extremely useful. Very good app for those of us who want to use the multitude of NHS services, but don't know where they all are.

by Tom the 3/2/2010

Spectral - images into sound

Nothing like the sound of clicking in the morning or the view of b&w lines in the afternoon. Not quite sure what this app is supposed to achieve..?

by Tom the 3/2/2010

TV-Guide UK

Pretty expensive for the limited amount of channels available & single day listings. 4x as many channels & @ least 1 week listings would be worth it.

by Tom the 3/1/2010

AndroidPIT

Wont load any data or information at all, just keeps giving me error... UK HTC Magic, Android 1.6. Please fix!

by Tom the 3/1/2010

Girl 3 Sexy Wallpaper

Only download this if you want to support people who spam the market with junk "apps"... Also, this trash wants to read your log files...

by Tom the 2/25/2010

WireGoggles Free

Freaky! Wish it had some kind of practical use.

by Tom the 2/25/2010

TitsCrawler (LITE)

Does nothing. Don't bother.

by Tom the 2/25/2010

Personality

Too generalized and not accurate enough to be worth paying for.

by Tom the 2/23/2010

Personality Lite

Seems pretty accurate to me. My only criticism now is that it needs more answer options! My horse is not tied up, but not running free, it is static!

by Tom the 2/23/2010

Shortcovers

Force closes a bit, but it's so nice to be able to buy the latest books & read them on my phone I can forgive it. New version coming soon apparently.

by Tom the 2/22/2010

SexyBomb

Terrible app! Waste of bandwidth and wants your phone ID and location to show pics too!

by Tom the 2/22/2010

Sexy Girls #27 (18+)

Complete crap! Waste of time!

by Tom the 2/22/2010

Hot Babes #22 (18+)

Total trash. Don't waste your time.

by Tom the 2/22/2010

Debt Snowball

Looks good, but would appreciate being able to select my currency, instead of having to use dollars. Please add £, €, ¥, etc.

by Tom the 2/22/2010

Sex women Wallpapers series2

Utter garbage. Don't bother...

Binaural Droid

Great idea, nice app, but poor quality sound (hissing over the tones) that needs to be streamed (no download to SD?) really lets this app down...

by Tom the 2/17/2010

Bones

Such a good idea, such a shame the pictures are so unclear. With high definition images (dowloaded to sd) this app would be perfect.

by Tom the 2/17/2010

This objectifying garbage wants your phone id and GPS location to show pics... Why? Don't bother.

This utter garbage wants your phone id and GPS location for showing pics... Don't bother...

by Tom the 2/16/2010

Hot Babes #17 (18+)

Utter garbage.

by Tom the 2/15/2010

This garbage reads phone id and GPS location to show pics... Why? Don't download this rubbish!

by Tom the 2/15/2010

Sexy Girls #22 (18+)

This garbage reads your phone identity and GPS location! What does it need that for!? Don't download!

by Tom the 2/15/2010

Hot Babes #16 (18+)

Needs to read phone identity, and fine GPS location to show pictures!? Get this rubbish off our market!

by Tom the 2/15/2010

z-ISexy (Hot Babes)

Garbage. Don't bother.

by Tom the 2/14/2010

ProcessManager Full Version

Runs in background @ ~5mb, even when taskbar & auto-kill are disabled. Doesn't stop apps running @ boot, just uninstalls them. ATM is better imo.

by Tom the 2/11/2010

Pass Phrase!

Not exactly intuitive to play.

Cars and Girls 4

Two objects that most straight men find attractive. Oh, hang on, women aren't objects are they... Hmm, probably ought not to objectify them then...

by Tom the 2/11/2010

Sexy Girls #17 (18+)

Awful, pathetic junk.

by Tom the 2/11/2010

Hot Babes 12 (18+)

Awful.

by Tom the 2/10/2010

ProcessManager Lite

Would b perfect, but doesn't kill it's self! Keeps running in the background @ 5mb, even when the notification icon is disabled! Self kill & I'll buy!

by Tom the 2/10/2010

Symptom Checker

Not what I had hoped.

by Tom the 2/10/2010

Diagnosaurus DDx

Not what I thought it would be.

by Tom the 2/3/2010

WordPops

Less stable than the free version on UK Magic, but still a good game.

by Tom the 2/2/2010

Formula Droid SALE

Really like this app! Good work on the interactive periodic table. Needs a little tidying up maybe, buy otherwise great!

by Tom the 1/31/2010

AndroCurling

Pretty good game, but not really my "cup of tea".

by Tom the 1/31/2010

Will this sick, creepy guy ever stop spamming his pointless, "apps" all over the market? Try making 1 good app instead of 100 crappy clones...

WordPops Lite

Good game.

by Tom the 1/30/2010

Zen Table Tennis Lite

Above average for Android. Could be a lot slicker. Worth the download, might even be worth paying for the full version if it's your kind of game.

by Tom the 1/29/2010

JobCompass

Force closes a lot & pretty slow, but very nice concept. Make it faster, much more stable & show more jobs on a single "page" & it'd be superb!

by Tom the 1/26/2010

Survive! Japanese

Excellent! Combines a learning tool with a text based rpg mystery that really encourages you 2 learn whilst also being fun! More words, languages pls!

by Tom the 1/26/2010

Erasure

Ruined my life forever.

by Tom the 1/25/2010

World Capitals

Good if you want to learn the capitals of the world.

by Tom the 1/25/2010

Livo Recorder Pro

Tried the scheduled start six times and it didn't start and didn't record a thing... Also, sound quality isn't super.

by Tom the 1/22/2010

Secret Coder Lite

Ha! Excellent!

by Tom the 1/22/2010

ComingUp

Looks good and is a good concept, but force closes whenever I press the settings button, making it unusable.

by Tom the 1/22/2010

2 Or More Blocks

Good, but not really my "cup of tea".

by Tom the 1/20/2010

GlobalWeather free

Nice concept, but the app is extremely slow on my UK HTC Magic. Whenever I scroll the map it takes 20-30 seconds to redraw all the weather icons etc.

by Tom the 1/20/2010

BabelSnap! OCR/Translator

Excellent app. Worth the money. Only one thing could make it better; offline OCR processing and translation.

by Tom the 1/20/2010

Snapit

Excellent idea and nicely made app, but it takes less time to type search queries, or use voice search.

by Tom the 1/20/2010

Inventory

Haven't given it an extensive trial, but first impressions are good. Seems like it will save a lot of time cataloguing my book collection.

by Tom the 1/17/2010

Musical Ears

Great for tuning your hearing to detect notes. Worth the money for those interested in measuring or improving their musical perception.

by Tom the 1/15/2010

HelloCatherine

Come on Pat, give Cat more of an app than that!

by Tom the 1/15/2010

3gtest

Works well on Vodafone UK HTC Magic.

by Tom the 1/12/2010

Doodledroid

It's well worth the money and is probably the best on the market. It needs to have fewer clicks between tool changes though.

by Tom the 1/9/2010

Screen Cleaner

Good quality video and cute concept.

by Tom the 1/9/2010

Face The Unknown

Considering it only does one thing, I thought I'd probably get a refund after trying it, but it's too funny not to keep!

by Tom the 1/8/2010

Brain Strain

Good, but too easy for me.

by Tom the 1/7/2010

Book Reader and Art of War

Pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Love that you can turn brightness up and down on the page. Great app!

by Tom the 1/7/2010

Graffi

It's pretty good, but it's difficult to do any fine detail, because you can't see under your thumb, or finger.

by Tom the 1/7/2010

Galatika Defense Lite

Well above average defense game and zooming earns it a fifth star! Right on the heels of Robo Defense!

by Tom the 1/5/2010

BrainGoal!

Great game, but force close (HTC Magic) puts me off buying the "Pro" version.

by Tom the 1/1/2010

Memory Usage

Does what it says.

by Tom the 12/31/2009

IQ Challenge

Good app, but grammatical, spelling & semantic errors in a few questions make it less than perfect. Otherwise best on Market. More questions please!

by Tom the 12/28/2009

4 Player Reactor

Lots of fun while waiting for food in restaurants with the family. Kids and adults enjoy the simple and fun gameplay. Well worth the money.

by Tom the 12/21/2009

Concise Oxford English dict

Excellent app. Worth the money.

by Tom the 11/19/2009

Fpt System Manager

Good app. Worth giving it a try if you haven't already.

by Tom the 11/14/2009

Benchmark

Seems really good, but the results don't really mean anything to me without some kind of comparison.

by Tom the 11/14/2009

aiSystemWidget

Very nice UI and slick operation. Would keep, but didn't really tell me what I was trying to find out.

by Tom the 11/7/2009

Is It Straight?

Great idea. Works well.

by Tom the 11/1/2009

Spira Defence Pro

Surprisingly addictive game. Simple graphics but great gameplay.

by Tom the 10/30/2009

gTranslate Pro

Nice. Wouldn't mind some kind of off-line translation for when there's no signal for 3G, but otherwise good.

by Tom the 10/27/2009

MyCon

Simply does what it says without issue. What more can you ask?

by Tom the 10/22/2009

MyIP

Simple app that simply does it's job. What more can you ask for?

by Tom the 10/12/2009

Phone Finder

Nice idea, but it just doesn't work. Doesn't (unsurprisingly) turn GPS on as advertised, and as such gives a location that is massively inaccurate.

by Tom the 10/2/2009

WordSearch

I like it. Easy, medium and hard options would be good.

by Tom the 10/2/2009

Backgammon

Nice graphics, but poor AI on the higher levels, with multiple doubles over and over.

by Tom the 9/27/2009

z-My Task Manager

Nothing special here, plus the ads are a deal-breaker. Much better task managers can be had for minimal costs without ads.

by Tom the 9/21/2009

TopSETgame

Good game. Takes a while to figure out, but it's worth it. Hate the ads. Need a paid version on the market.

by Tom the 9/19/2009

-deprecated_ Color Detector

Seems to work ok. Might be very useful for a colour blind person.

by Tom the 9/15/2009

AndHangMan

Nice clean ui, but US spellings only are a turn off.

by Tom the 9/15/2009

AstroClock

Good, but not really what I was looking for.

by Tom the 9/15/2009

Frequency Generator

Somewhat awkward to use, but good otherwise.

by Tom the 9/14/2009

Crazy Lutuputu 3D

Nice start, but it needs a lot more work.

by Tom the 9/12/2009

AstroRaider Lite

Good game.

by Tom the 9/12/2009

Prime

Love the game, hate the ads. Paid version please.

by Tom the 9/11/2009

BBC Client

It's essentially the BBC mobile website, it just doesn't load as quickly

by Tom the 9/6/2009

Sunrise Sunset! Free

Please release a paid version ($0.99) without ads and I will buy it!!

by Tom the 8/26/2009

IQ Test Master

Might be good, but I found it gave anomalous results.

by Tom the 8/21/2009

Toilet/Bathroom Finder

Very good idea, but really needs more data for the UK. There must be more than 8 toilets on the Isle of Wight, right..?

by Tom the 8/21/2009

Mathematics IQ

Not really for me. The English semantics seemed a bit skewed to me, but I might be wrong. Give it a try, you can always get a refund after all.

by Tom the 8/21/2009

Brain Exercise

Good, but not hard enough for me. I need something a lot more mentally strenuous to give my brain a work out.

by Tom the 8/21/2009

Times Table

Helps with 2 to 9 times tables. Actually very good. I imagine this would indeed help kids remember their times tables.

by Tom the 8/21/2009

BeMeMorse

Typed text in, but there is no button to convert, only a button that says "flash", which just flashes a graphic, but doesn't do anything else...

by Tom the 8/20/2009

Asteroids

Loved the game, but found it very hard to control on the HTC Magic. Might be easier with a hardware keyboard? Uninstalled.

by Tom the 8/17/2009

SpaceHockey2

Single player is ok, if a bit rough around the edges, but wifi is unplayable...

by Tom the 8/17/2009

Dog Whistle

Dog can hear it next to her ears, otherwise nothing... Also force close on app rotate.

by Tom the 8/15/2009

RockOut Acoustic Pro Guitar

Good. Sound quality is good. I play acoustic guitar and I think this app gets it right.

by Tom the 8/15/2009

Quick Camera

Turns my 3.2 megapixel camera, into a 2.45 megapixel camera & makes images almost always out of focus... No wonder it's so fast... Uninstalled...

by Tom the 8/14/2009

Pedometer - Widget

It's HUGE! I use all three desktop areas, this just doesn't fit anywhere! Make it a quarter of the size, or allow the user to chose a size option.

by Tom the 8/13/2009

system info(pro)

Good, but didn't really tell me what I wanted to know.

by Tom the 8/13/2009

eRay

Good app, but not really what I was after.

by Tom the 8/6/2009

aSpotCat (app by permission)

Good app, but doesn't really tell me anything that cupcake doesn't already tell me. Makes viewing the info easier though. Uninstalled to save space.

by Tom the 8/4/2009

MAC Address Search

"Force close" on first try...

by Tom the 8/4/2009

Brighteriffic

This app is brilliant! Perfect for quickly boosting screen brightness in bright sunlight!

by Tom the 8/4/2009

WiFiHockey

Poor. "Force Closed" every time I started it. Voda, HTC Magic. Uninstalled & refunded...

by Tom the 8/3/2009

iTranslator for Android

Why does this app need to read & write my browser history & bookmarks?? Uninstalled...

by Tom the 8/2/2009

Shead Spreet Pro

Good, but uninstalled in favour of Documents2Go, which seems to work a lot better.

by Tom the 8/2/2009

DoFCalc

Works as advertised. Thanks for this.

by Tom the 8/2/2009

Download Crutch Lite

Works as advertised. Thanks for this.

by Tom the 8/2/2009

Metron3D Lite Galactic Fighter

Yeah, it's OK. Controls are a little on the difficult side though.

by Tom the 8/1/2009

Noiz2

Ummm, not really sure what to say about this. Not my thing, but try it, you might like it.

by Tom the 8/1/2009

3d HD model test

Blank screen on the HTC Magic.

by Tom the 7/31/2009

Boobage

Pathetic. Puerile. Adolescent. Objectifying. Rubbish. Ad-supported. Grow up.

by Tom the 7/29/2009

Relax Well

This isn't an app, it's just a link to website with a tiny, low-quality animated gif on a page. Don't bother downloading...

by Tom the 7/29/2009

Mental Maths

No where near as good as Maths Workout Plus...

by Tom the 7/29/2009

Clear Five

This game makes no sense to me. No instructions make working it out all the more frustrating...

by Tom the 7/29/2009

Brain Twister

Needs to scale in difficulty so its easier to start, otherwise there's little sense of achievement.

by Tom the 7/27/2009

RoboTop

It's not particularly helpful to me as the information it provides is not easy enough to interpret.

by Tom the 7/26/2009

Wake On Lan

Nice concept, but wouldn't work with my PC.

by Tom the 7/25/2009

Close Everything 2

Good app, but I much prefer Taskiller, so uninstalled and refunded.

by Tom the 7/25/2009

GPhone Manager Pro, All In One

This app has replaced 3 other apps I used to use. It does everything in 1. Very good, well worth the cash!

by Tom the 7/24/2009

SizeDoesMatter (Ruler)

Seems a bit pointless. Uninstalled and refunded.

by Tom the 7/23/2009

Lumasee PDF/Text/Img View Demo

Good start, but crashes too much and garbles PDF data too much to consider using. Certainly not worth paying for atm. Voda HTC Magic Cupcake.

by Tom the 7/21/2009

mem

Fun. Probably most suited to children.

by Tom the 7/21/2009

Voxel Fun (OLD)

Not really my kind of thing.

by Tom the 7/13/2009

Pocket Sketchbook Lite

Hard to use, but still easier than all other drawing apps I've tried.

by Tom the 7/9/2009

ConvertAll

Converts most things to their alternative equivalent. Works well!

by Tom the 7/9/2009

Weight Manager

Does what it says it will. Nothing spectacular, but still a handy app.
