Any chance we can get a sticky of apps that do NOT work on nook

When posting, please remember to put the type of setup you have Stock rooted/Froyo/HC otherwise posting your non-working app is worthless

Slingplayer works for me on 1.1 rooted.

Isn't there a list on the Nook Portal?

Here's the link: NookColor working apps - nookDevs

Tell me if I'm wrong.

A few reasons why, I've actually never seen that link before some wikis can be tough for some to find topics. Also since many of us are here frequently including some newbs this thread may help one or two decide whether their favourite app works on the nook and in which variation. With the assumption that most apps work i'm hoping a smaller list should be easier to navigate. This has helped me to go uninstall and reinstall apps and get them working as oppose to assuming its a nook issue.

Big thanks for this reminder Monkeysuncle, otherwise i have to track the poster down and it will take forever to have the thread benefit us.

Thanks everyone for your replies!

Thought I would give a little Bumpity Bump.

Anyone else have something to add that does not work on particular builds?

I cannot get grocery gadget to sync with my online account. It freezes along the way. That sux, cuz I sure would enjoy walking through the grocery store showing off my Nook,lol

I use OURGROCERIES and it works well on the NC.

Dictionary.com's app doesn't work on Froyo Nookie running off SD. Force close required...a lot. Uninstalled.

Can't get nook 2.0 apk to work... where do I put it? Tried the sd card... tried the nook itself... no joy.

UPDATE: Disregard. Using the B&N bar on the bottom of the screen, it works fine.

Mega Jump doesnt work rooted.

 

[vetteman30]

Words with Friends downloads but will not display properly, the letters in your tray are not visible with Honeycomb v4 on SD

I was able to get minisquadron to work. At first it just hung there, but when I enabled softkeys I was able to bipass the screen and the program worked fine.

Ther version I have is actually mini squadron special.

The free "Tetris" app doesn't work. The box is offset from the blocks and it looks lame. Its playable, but not enjoyable due to the graphical issue

I have my NookColor rooted with Honeycomb V4 installed on SD. Angry Birds and Nook for Android work fine. YouTube doesn't play the videos. No other problems encountered. Looking forward to v5 update.
