what do you mean? most have screen-shots, and there is a 24 hour return policy on paid apps.

I do wish screen-shots were required, though.

I think they must mean to see how it works without ever installing it.... like maybe a youtube demonstration of it...... too much work and everybody has so many different types of phones with different apps....


No harm done to install it and the toss it if its not fast enough or lags or buggy in some way or maybe just doesn't have the features you thought it would have and that you will never know unless you just install it.

The only problem is that some apps leave junk files on your sd card after you uninstall them like the TV app.

and screenshots are fine but I was thinking more of a way to preview it in Market before you install.


You can clear any cache on the app that may be left and then uninstall it and go behind and use "astro" or similar file explorer to delete the directory it may have left. Few apps leave much behind and when they do, it doesn't affect performance.

Its pretty touch to preview it as these apps run on different phones, with different collections of other apps and configurations.

Even screenshots would be misleading.

But I understand if your wanting more of an ideal of what the expected look and feel is like but few dev's want to keep that updated as there are frequent updates on most apps that change and improve the performance and interface.

We are lucky to get an update file that says whats being changed, let alone a video file.

Applications:
3banana - notes with photos and barcode scanner
Nimbuzz - for Skype (and other IM)
Places Directory - to find restaurants, attractions, bars, gas stations etc.
Quick Calendar - I didn't want to use calendar widgets (they all are pretty ugly, which makes me a bit nostalgic of the WinMo days and the SBSH apps) but being able to access the appointments via the status bar is priceless.
Astrid - ToDo lists. A must have if you ever want stuff to be done, I love the way it naggs me even more then my assistant
B-Folders - for securing your codes and business info
Waze - Poors man Google Navigation, not by Google. I'm always on the road and being able to be updated and reminded on traffic , police etc. is a huge advantage. Plus it's fun to chat with other Wazers (While in traffic jam of course :) ).
And Ofcourse:
AnySoftKeyboard - the best option for multilingual keyboard

Widgets:
Wifi OnOff
Gmail Unread Count
SMS Unread Count
Battery Indicator - Why on earth this wasn't the default behavior of the battery status icon, only god knows.

Games:
Bonsai Blast
RoboDefense
