What alarms are people using?

I'm quite liking Smarter Alarm - I prefer waking up to the time/weather/etc - however like all other apps like this the voice is just horrible. I was wondering if there's an app out there that's actually got a human speaking, rather than a computerised version?

Also, good stock apps?

What happened to Wordfeud Russ you stopped playing?

Russinating · 17 Mar 2011 at 14:57

Sorry

. Gone over to Words with Friends. Don't prefer it but all my flatmates and "real life" friends have iPhones so more fun to play with them.

And you think I can convince 15 people to start using that just because of me when they have dozens of games running?

Does anyone have any recommendations for a freeview tv guide app, i.e one that can be filtered to freeview only and doesn't use the sky channel numbers?

I use TV Guide: https://market.android.com/details?id=ukfree.jersey.tvguide

Works perfectly for me, and you can set reminders and filter channels.

There's a new free Snes emulator on the market based on Snes9x. It has full wiimote and iControlPad support built in.

Hybrid Pro mate! Was going to get a road bike, but seeing as I hadn't rode a bike for a few years, though it would be best to get a "normal"-ish bike first

Back on topic: VoucherCloud has now been ported over to Android:

Can you pull the apk off your phone and put it somewhere for download please? It's saying it's not compatible with my handset.

@ Khaaan!

What's the apps you use to track your phone, and it sends you an email etc if you lose it etc. I can't find your post you mentioned it all in.
