I need one more golden star! ARGH!

Also, no hax! I can only seem to get golden stars when lying sideways in bed so most of my 3 stars were at 2am in the morning :p

Edit*
Scratch that, all golden eggs for version 1.4.2 retrieved! Now to star them :D

Can anyone recommend a good voice memo app please? Looking for something that allows memos to be organised and ideally append them if needed.

-edit- Tapemachine seems to be doing the job.

Is there a good App for Alarms? The alarm on my Samsung Apollo rarely goes off. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the phone or not. I just set it a moment ago for 21:50pm, when it got to 21:49pm, the phone lit up and the time jumped to 21:51pm. :/

Try opening your alarms, go to edit one, go to edit the tone and then turn up the volume using the hardware controls. Make sure you do this while the window for selecting a tone is open. My wife turned hers down by mistake before.
 
I highly recommend Colornote, a notepad/checklist app but with quite a few neat features. It supports auto/manual backup and restore, backups can be encrypted via a master password and individual notes can be passworded too so keeping personal data in there is safe too.

It also hyperlinks phone numbers, URLs and so on making usability better than other note apps (with widget) I have tried in the past.

My only desire is for a transparent widget background colour and it will be getting a 10/10 from me but for now 9/10

(sorry all my notes are grey colour by choice :p)
 
Colornote is great, I've been using it for a few days.
For passwords, I use the android version of keepass (free), the pc version of which I've been using for a couple of years.
 
I used to use colornote but I find Mobisle Notes much more capable, there's a paid version which integrates with google docs but it's too expensive imo.

Also the backup feature in colornote does not work between devices... Or at least it didn't for me.


Also been playing with Camera 3D:

I tried out Mobisle Notes and while the UI is very nice and it has some ice features but there are some big flaws in the app usability such as:

1: Text such as URLs and phone numbers are only clickable when in checklist mode.

2:There is no widget!!!

I have since uninstalled it and gone back to Colornote.
 
But Android apps are all rubbish and iPhone appstore has way more apps so what you on about :p
