    Is there a simple vCard reader for Android?

    I don't need to import or export anything. I just need to be able to view and ideally copy text from a vCard file that somebody sends me as a SMS. Currently I get the attached message. I would prefer to pay for an app without ads. Any suggestions?

    voice memo recorder?

    Is there a simple app that I can use to record memos to myself? I found several to send a voice memo, but I don't want to do that. I just need something I can use quickly in the car or whenever I'm not able to write myself a note on GoTasks. Then play and delete later. The simpler the better.
