Here is my list of apps that currently do not work on the Xoom:

Google Voice - Force closes(There is a hacked version from XDA that seems to be working well, 4/7)

Citrix Receiver - Force closes (Fixed on 3/4 with latest release from market)

Worms - get error message that it an Unsupported Device and closes

PhoneMyPC - Force Closes (Fixed on 2/25 with latest release from market)

Astrid - Force closed when trying to update a task (Seems to be fixed with last update)

Spare Parts - force closes when trying to get battery history

Astro SMB Module - force closes when trying to setup a SMB connection

Please add any other apps to this thread and update once they are fixed.

Double Twist for the PC seems to work ok, even was able to do airSync.

Facebook is iffy. It works sometimes but I've had crashes in it too.
 
Anyone able to get Pocket God to work? It is a great stress reliever when i am at work. (IE i name the little guys after the coworkers who annoy me and zap them heh )
 
Words with Friends - runs ok but you can't see your tile rack so its impossible to play. The screen doesn't rotate so you have to use it in landscape mode and even then all you can see is the very top of your tiles so you can't see the letters.
 
I'm hoping there will be gobs of updates to our apps to be compatible with Honeycomb.

These need to come ASAP.
 
i am sure it will happen now that we have a HC device out in the market. People who paid for these apps want to be able to use them. :)
 
Springpad, crashes when trying to save a note, note saves but its an annoyance, anyone else seeing this?
 
To the OP, if you don't mind I'm going to sticky this thread for now and rename it to "Unstable or broken Apps on the Xoom". I feel this is an important topic that needs the attention.
 
Another vote for getting Google Voice support. I'm really missing being able te text people from the Xoom.
 
Barcode Scanner by ZXing doesn't work for me, I just get a black screen...maybe the 2 camera's are confusing it. I got AT&T Code Scanner to work though occasionaly the image is overblown with brightness so it can't pick up the code, I need to point it at something black first and then back at the monitor and to make it work when that happens.
 
Napster for Android isn't available in the market on the Xoom....don't know if thats because it doesn't work or if its because Verizon is trying to control my mind (and my wallet)
