Looking for a certain type of app? Post them here!

I want an app that can show me a live stream of a webcam from my laptop. In addition, I want to be able to press a button, speak into the microphone, and have my voice come through the laptop speakers (obviously this would require a separate Windows app as well).

How about an app that locks apps from being used or looked at without a password?

I'm looking for a simple 2x2 round analog clock widget, that displays weather info in the center.

This already exists, gimme a minute I'll look it up for you.

Edit: App Protector Pro $1.99

How about if all paid apps gave you a free 7 day trial?

I realize most are pretty cheap. But even at 99cents, if I'm not sure about an app and just want to try it, i probably wont buy it. Because we all know that 99 cents here and 99cents there add up....

But if we got to try it... then get prompted to pay after 7 days (maybe 3) then if we liked it we would definately pay.

I can usually tell if I like an app before the 24 hours to return is up ... I think I have returned 3 or 4 apps.

7 days would be nice... but I have heard that there is a 24 hour period after buying an app that you can decide you don't want it and be refunded. I can't verify this however.

Yes, i know there is a 24 hour period.
But certain apps, like locale for example, cost $10 and it really takes more than a day to know if it's something im going to want to have on my phone.

 

[roscuthiii]

I wonder if they'd catch on if you just kept saying you changed your mind about the same app

 

[cableguynoe]

Yes, after the first time. lol

You only get one refund. After the second download, you are stuck with it.

I'm looking for an alarm replacement or app that vibrates for 20-30 seconds before sounding the alarm. Sort of like that power nap app that they have on the market.

Try an app called gentle alarm. I don't think its in the market so try searching for it on androlib.

How about a ROM or home replacement that allows you to place your widgets anywhere you want without having to conform to a grid pattern (which is aweful close to the iPhone if you ask me )

What's the best app for if you lose your phone, you can track it down?

 

[Toolanddiemaker]

What's the best app for if you lose your phone, you can track it down?

Check out something called itap, don't think it's in the market yet, but if you look it up online it might be what your looking for.

My bad, itag, sorry.

Mobile Defense is another lost/stolen phone app that allows you to track your phone from their website if it goes missing.

Lookout has antivirus, data backup, and location tracker.

I would really like an app that allowed me to listen to live radio broadcasts of NHL games. I have tried iheartradio but it usually doesn't have any of the correct radio stations except for the Penguins...

I use Cherry RPlayer. I am mostly concerned with the Philadelphia Flyers, and this app has the live feed of 610 WIP which carries the Flyers games. It works pretty good.

Has anyone come up with a Hulu app yet?

I've got a rooted 2.1, I'd like an app to switch between Nexus Launcher and Sense UI.

Does anyone happen to know if it's possible for a keyboard app to be developed that utilizes Swype in portrait mode and the stock keyboard in landscape mode?

 

[grvthang]

Since this is a 'wish list', how about this:

One app that:
1) permits the device to ring loudly and strongly vibrate every single time you have an incoming call
2) reminds you of a missed call, voice message, or unacknowledged text message by periodically giving you an audible sound and/or a vibration
3) can easily open video text messages

In other words, an app that can make this "smartphone" perform all the basic cell phone functions that the cheaspest friggin cell phone can perform without a problem?

The one I know for sure is text messages.

If you use Handcent, go to settings- notification settings. There you can set reminders for unread messages, how many reminders, and interval between reminders.

I am curious if anyone knows if you can set similar settings for missed calls or voicemails. Maybe theres an app for it?

3) can easily open video text messages

What problem do you have opening video messages?
