Gps status and toolbox. Has a compass as well as gps data. And quickly lets you clear the agps data if you are having trouble with lock. Also tricorder app by moonblink, sadly no longer available. But it has gps data, compass, wireless data info, wifi signal info and just kind of fun. Also i like tune in radio. Nice app for listening to whatever you want. The pro version lets you record for listening at a later time and has an alarm feature.

So far I've been very impressed with ICS Browser +. It's based on the stock browser but with the features you'd expect. The configuration & customization options are terrific and even better than Dolphin HD. With 1 tap you can access pretty much any browser function...goodbye Chrome.

Its surprising how much the Southwest Airlines app sucks given Androids share of the market. Its plain there is an apple southwest agreement in place to restrict basic functionality such as DING. Attn Southwest rivals...my business miles are up for grabs with the right app..

Well, at least you can check in for your flight using the app.

It's been a while since the app was officially available, due to annoying copyright issues from Columbia, I think. So I'm not sure what changes there were. Still works, though!

Must be a problem with the Southwest system rather than the app, because it definitely is a function. Maybe iPhone users are also having problems?

My favorite app would be Tripit since I do a lot of traveling, this keeps all my traveling organized so I know if I forgot to book a hotel or rental car and since I do a few flight planning at a time, it keeps me in sync with flight times.

DroidTV. Bar none. Worth every penny. DVR for your Android. Walked 9.6 miles on treadmill today. My a$$ hates this app. I love it. Price went up, and I am extremely cheap. I DO NOT HAVE A CHECKING ACCOUNT OR CREDIT CARD!

I actually am "cash and carry". Used my cash for a Visa Gift Card just for this app. Seriously. If you watch TV (not live....) you will love this. I will renew, and if you knew me, that is the highest praise you can get....

Just touch the right edge of the screen. You can customize the number of the rings, the commands on each ring & set the size for the pop-up gesture in the settings. The default size is about right for me, get too large and it can interfere with controls on web pages. Outstanding browser. I use all 3 rings customized for my uses. By far the easiest & fasted mobile browser navigation I've seen and load speed is equal to any.

I know about the "ring" control on the new Browser - a GREAT addition. It works on the Right or Left side of the screen.

But how do you change the settings for it? I cannot find anything on the menus that allows you to adjust the size or number of rings.

Math geek?

Mathmatiz. Free Ad supported, but not obtrusive. If there was a pay version, I'd pay it.
Math Script. Free
Wolfram Alpha. Generally very good. You do need data since it's all done remotely. They keyboard sort of sucks.
ClassicRPN - gives you the three nearly best calculators ever - HP11c, 12 and 16. $16.99. I paid it :)
Go41CX - the incredible HP41 calculator. The best calc HP ever did. Yeah, I know there are other HPs with more capability, like the 48 and 49. The 41 is still the best and the cx is the best of the best.

Drawing - Infinite Design. $5. Worth it.

I must be sort of dumb. I never got Tapatalk to work right for me. Maybe I need to spend more time with it, but it's not exactly always clear how to make it behave.

Hey, what do you think about RealCalc? That's my go-to calculator app.
