So everyone complaining about the ads on Mx, which could easily be fixed by buying the ad free version,but understandably people don't want to shell out the few bucks for it. I was going to post this for a while but I didn't get around to it.
Google has an app that gives you Google Play credits for answering simple and easy surveys. It's very simple easy to answer and non intrusive. They notify you if you have an available survey which is only once every 1-3 weeks sometimes more and sometimes less. So far I have gotten over $6 in Google Play credits.
Enjoy
Google Opinion Rewards
+1. It takes some (read: a lot) time to accumulate some effectual credit though.

It's the best simply because the other video apps in the android store are abhorrent.

Best by virtue of there being no real competition means little.
I beg to differ, it's a neat player, plays almost any file format I throw at it, and the swipe controls for fast forward, volume, and brightness are amazing, in addition to being able to play subs, resumes at the same point you were up to before closing the app, and more, I would say it's a pretty good player, until, of course, a better one comes out.

I see now that VLC has a player in beta, can't wait till it's compatible with my device.

So what, then, are you saying is it's competition?

It has none for now, but that's not its only virtue.

Of course not, but it has no competition.

And the free version has annoying ads.

Suffice it to say, we both are earnestly awaiting the VLC app.

It's been in beta for a while, I wonder when it will be done.

Is there a non-favorite apps thread? I'd definitely nominate Citi's app. A disaster!

People need to start complaining, it's a shame that such a big multi billion dollar bank shouldn't be able to build a silly simple app instead just giving you their website app format.

Looks like we have a Citi rep lurking around here... Great update on their app today. Finally some improvement.

Yup

It basically became an app for the first time. Of course, now they can polish it to be up to par with other apps.

It drives me nuts when I snap a picture of the check and then get an email saying the check has been declined. Is there a trick to taking pictures of the check? But yea, BB and Chase are both good.

I also use (and like): Cam Scanner, Alarm Clock Xtreme Free, ColorNote (this one rox), HebDate, Flipboard, and Translate.
