Re: [Apps] Must Have Apps for Android! [Updated: 02/06/12] Could be because it is expensive in terms of app costs. |

When you guys list apps here in this thread, could you please also add a couple sentences saying what each one does and why you like it or what makes it better than others? |

Must Have App if you have a ROKU... stream anything to TV Its called JUICE
»play.google.com/store/apps/detai···1aWNlIl0.
It allows you to stream near anything from your Android through ROKU to your TV wirelessly. Photos, Video, Music, even Audio RSS and podcast feeds.
Even Cooler thing is while streaming you still have full use of your Android to do other things... even streaming a video to another TV and watching on on the device if your processor can handle that.
Also as its all local wifi it is very fast, near instant even initial buffer loading a HD video file.
My Transformer has an HDMI port, but this is so much easier than patching it in every time, and the tablet stays mobile AS WELL as still usable for other purposes, it isn't when direct outputting HDMI.
One of a handful of paid apps I have and worth far more than the meager $2.99 asked. The dev is also very responsive to trouble issues and suggestions... often in hours.
It can also serve as a better than the one you get, remote for your ROKU, even if you aren't streaming anything
There is also a free trial version, if you just want to see it works OK for you.
PS you must also load the JUICE channel from the ROKU ch store which is free.
Also if your friends have ROKU you can go to their house and do the same thing as long as they have loaded the JUICE channel on
their ROKU.
Only minor flaw is the auto find feature. Mine are both last gen ROKU and doesn't find them, but check ROKU settings for what ip it has and manual enter that... then no problem.
Oh and another plus thing is it is rotationally sensitive which is great as most of the time my Transformer is keyboard docked, and JUICE works and reformatted for it looks fine in landscape mode.

Re: [Apps] Must Have Apps for Android! [Updated: 02/06/12] Nice bunch of apps. However I like the MX Player app to be in that list. I enjoy MULTI-CORE DECODING and CPU OPTIMIZATION with the app. It is the first Android video player of its kind. I recommend everybody to have this app. |

kudos:1 | Seems it is mentioned in here relative to others... maybe not.
But I agree, best I have come across. But the thing I love best is the video swipe scanning precise to a second or two or fast big swipe minutes. VS the typical very coarse (on but very short video) slider bar.

Indeed it is the best. I have used a lot of video players but MX is the only one which has worked flawlessly. Takes just second to load, play and exit. |

Interesting apps. Also looks like no one reads  .. else:
Kindle, Nook apps would have been mentioned.
I leave out google books [It came with my nexus], and the other e-book apps because I'm not that familiar with them.
Then you have Overdrive. It's a cross platform app.
»www.overdrive.com/software/omc/
It allows you to check out e-book from your local library. You can also check out audio books [if your library has them available]. So far it seems to use Amazon to get the books.
My writing spot: »www.mywritingspot.com/
Another cross platform app. It's a simple note pad type of thing. On my nexus, I can speak, and it'll try to "type" what I say.
What I like is how I can cynch my notes on my Ipad, Nexus and PC with this app.

| One thing to remember about the Amazon App Store is that they do not always get the updates as quickly as Google Play. So unless it is the FAOTD or cheaper, I try and stick with Google Play. |

Since the fall tv season has started there's a really good app called TV Show Favs.
Shows you upcoming shows in a widget and you can mark them "to do" and see a calender view.
Here's my widget.  It's scrollable

My list of apps also has AGPS: »play.google.com/store/apps/detai···0dXMyIl0.
This helps with phones that have poor GPS locks. You can use with non-rooted phones as well. Will help reset your GPS and download current satellite positions. I use my navigation often, and this helps when I'm in a new city and need to find places.

People with the ultra cheap devices, that don't pay the Google membership cost and restrictions, Amazon is the only choice.

RunPee. Ever since my movie theater started serving beer this app has come in handy. It tells you when you can go take a piss during a movie. Every movie in theater is in there and it's updated regularly. Even tells you what you're going to miss, the time you can miss (you can even start a timer).
It's one of most useful apps on android.

| This is awesome I can't wait to try it out. I love how when you first install it and it updates the DB the yellow (pee) fills the screen. |
