That's pretty damning of Android apps to just be imitations of iOS ones.

There's nothing wrong when someone steals good design, as long as it isn't too blatant. I paid $4.99 for Reeder and I'd do it again for an Android version. And again for a Windows 8 version.

Its sad really since you can do so much with the large screen. iOS could never offer you the same experience Android does if you make proper use of its innate abilities like the giant ass screens.
Just select share. Then select Instapaper. I would imagine anyway, I use pocket.
Yeah duh, found out I don't have Instapaper installed..

Android apps shouldn't look like iOS apps. The design guidelines are there to make the whole Android experience (OS + apps) feel coherent, and while deviation from them is of course acceptable to give your app its own identity they shouldn't be completely ignored. An app that looks like an iOS app feels very out of place on an Android phone, even if it was originally a well-designed iOS app.

I used Tor to do it.
And I'm willing to risk my account, even though I doubt they'll care.
don't know if anyone posted this or not.
For Navigation I use Waze
Social GPS for everyday driving, instant traffic, accidents, police, etc.

What's the best mkv player? Stock app won't play the audio for some of my files
Definitely Dice Player of the ones I've tried. Flawless hardware accelerated playback of both 720p and 1080p content on my GNex. The ads in the free version don't show up when you're actually watching something, just when you bring up the playback controls and such, so they don't really bother me.
Another one that often gets recommended is MX Player. I personally haven't had as smooth an experience watching HD content using that, although I haven't tried it in a while.

Try Go SMS. See if it has that option. I'm not sure it does but it may.
'Discovery app' is a good way to put it, and I use Feedly in a similar fashion. Sometimes having those graphic thumbnails present help clue you into an article you may have otherwise passed by scrolling through typical newsreaders with a list format.
How did you waste my time? I was just throwing in my two cents to the conversation. LOL
I'm rarely offline so that was never an option I considered. Reader HD does offline sync...

Man, what the fuck is astrid tasks doing intervening with my missed calls(asking if I want to set a reminder to call someone back after dismissing the notification)?
I hate apps that auto set themselves to do things like that. >=|
It's a nice little feature, but don't do it without asking me.

ouble taps on the screen (Nova Launcher)::::::Bring up unified search, enters "Astrid", finds no such app installed:::
Yes. I remember this app doing this to me, and I imminently uninstalled it.

What task app do you use now?
This is a pretty high quality reader. Although it doesn't have per feed setting so I can only use it as my secondary reader.

Try Any.do. It doesn't have auto sync, though.
It looks pretty ugly. I'll give it a whirl, though. Thanks!
I can have more than 3 obviously, but I chose to narrow down apps that have duplicate functions. So I'm down to those two, until I decided which I like best.
Oh ok, I was kinda hoping for some out of this world reasoning.
I think you guys have talked about it before (I'll go scan the last page), but what is a great VLC player that can play .MOV file videos? I tried out VLA Beta and it makes the videos stutter and have visual errors, so unstable.
Dice Player? MX Player?
EDIT:
Dice Player isn't compatible with my device and MX Player can't find my videos. There's really no app for playing .mov files?
EDIT 2:
MX Player works, though it lags and sound cuts out.
By the way, is there any way I can get the Onlive app if it doesn't show up in my Play Store?

Shoot, same audio issue with MX, and the file just doesn't open with Dice. It seems like there might be DTS licensing issues...
Guess I'll have to convert the audio.
It does allow LED colours for different people - you have to add specific contacts first.

Holy shit I'm in love!
What do you mean by not the one we need right now?
No push notifications?

Dev sounds like such a chump trying to trademark the phrase VolScroll for such a ubiquitous way of navigation.

Well it's still in development and lacking some features.
Would love a dark theme too, but it's definitely a fantastic initial offering.Well it's still in development and lacking some features.
Feel bad.

Yeah I messed around with them before. Didn't get around to using any credential-based stuff though.
All I need to do is load up an album from an account inside of a website. Do dynamic stuff or user interaction apart from viewing (i.e. next/previous/etc).
Well it's still in development and lacking some features.
And here I was thinking to myself, what would a twitter app need, since I'd like to take a stab at it...
It looks nice and straight forward...
Props to anyone using the twitter api, it's just shit imo...

I used to think this until I lived with it. I prefer a Holo gray now.

Yeah that's sort of what I used it for. Just a single specific album?
It's a bunch of albums, but each one would have it's own page basically. I'm not expecting ultra coder stuff, I mean, I'm still coding each page with html in notepad.
