I think I might be going back to try Android again. I’m publishing this now. I’ll try and keep it updated.

• Alarm Clock Plus
• Amazon, Ebay
• aSpotCat check app permissions
• Authenticator 2 factor auth for google and facebook accounts
• Google Drive (and docs and sheets)
• Days Left Widget Pro
• Droidicious
• gReader Plus - RSS Feed Reader with delightful navigation
• GPS Status
• GroceryIQ
• Juice SSH client
• Wundergound - lovely weather app
• NS Wallet
• Null Keyboard - sigh
• ReadItToMe Pro
• Redfin & Zillow
• Remote for iTunes
• SemiSilent
• Shush
• silent sleep
• Star Walk and Solar System Explorer
• TED
• Tesla LED flashlight
• Torque along with this ODB2 Reader
• Voice Plus (v2 Voice Plus didn’t work for me) - make it so only some calls go through google voice
• WiFi Analyzer

Companion Software

• Dialogue - turns my mac into a bluetooth headset (also allows moto-x to unlock)
• Android File Transfer - I have no idea why it can’t just look like a drive.
• adb

Things that drive me nuts:

• I can’t turn off an alarm using the headphone button, or any bluetooth buttons either.
• App Permissions - allow me to grant deny app permissions on a per app basis rather than an install/no-install choice. Facebook wants too many permissions I don’t want to grant it.
• Wifi Sucks - won’t work with an airport extreme and express with the same SSID - made two networks and it won’t switch between them.

Games (I’ve decided NO GAMES on my new phone so this is out of date)

• tap glider
• dragon fly

Things I haven’t yet tried:

• LauncherPro:
• Tasker (Free 7 day trial if you sideload it)
• Locale

I really want to get App Ops back but I need to Root My Moto-X first and that’s not going so well.

Things I didn’t like:

• reqall - never seemed to work
• Evernote - required contacts and or calendar access
• Facebook - required too many permissions and is not trustable (see when they uploaded all your android sms stuff)
• Stopwatch and Timer - I liked this, but clock in kitkat has a nice timer and stopwatch
• Data Usage didn’t show correct data.
• Feedly gReader pro is better
• SecretBox Plus ns wallet
• MacRemote - control iTunes
• Headphone SMS - read it to me pro was better
• Jay’s Headset Control - I might go back to this haven’t quite needed it yet.
• Headset Droid - even though it has contacts permission
• My-Cast weather - temps and % chance of rain (wunderground is better)
