CardStar CardStar is a dream app! I discovered this app when looking for a simple solution to the problem of always forgetting my library card. You can search by category and add the cards that you use by entering either their number or by scanning them using the Barcode Scanner app. Categories include: Airline, Association, Beverage, Car Rental, Convenience Store, Cruise Line, Drug Store, Entertainment, Gas, Grocery, Gym, Healthcare, Hotel, Library, Local, Museum, Restaurant, Retail, Service, Train, Travel.
CauseWorld Check-in apps are all the rage right now with the most popular being Foursquare & Gowalla. However, if you want to use a location based check-in app & make a difference at the same time, then CauseWorld is what you want. In addition to earning badges, you also earn Karma points, 5 points for each check-in. These points can then be donated to a cause of your choices. Donations range from 1 - 200 Karmas. One of my favorites is Donate a Book which, for 100 Karmas, Room to Read will donate a children's book to one of the countries where they work. Keep in mind that this is all free to use - all you have to do is check-in and you can accumulate points to donate!
Checkers Free This is simply the game Checkers. It's a free version which means there are ads along the bottom. You can select from the One Player or Two Player version, enter your name, select Level of play, and choose who makes the first move. There are options to turn on or off Sounds and Forced Jumps.
ColorNote I use this app for all quick notes that I need to take while on the go. The app icon looks like sticky notes. You can write a basic note or create a checklist. Each note can have a color. The default is yellow. Other available colors are red, orange, green, blue, purple, brown, grey, and white. This is helpful if you want to organize your notes. You can also set a reminder for a note, lock a note, or share a note. The list view of all your notes can be sorted alphabetically, by date, by color, or by reminder time. There is also a search option.
Compass This app is just what its name implies - a compass. At the top is your current location with coordinates. Below is the compass.
Connect4 A childhood favorite, this is the Connect 4 game on your phone. This is a free app and so there are ads at the top. You can play online or offline. I've only played offline. You can undo or redo a turn, choose board size, change your chip color, select level of difficulty, and turn sound effects on or off. Very easy and very fun, just like the original.
Craigsnotification This is a Craigslist app. You select search options just like on the site and it populates a list. Select an entry in the list and view the full posting with images. You can star a posting, trash it, email the poster right from your phone, or view it on the web. If a posting has been deleted, it will have a red X over the envelope (email icon). The app updates regularly and you can enable notifications, which is helpful if your search is time sensitive.

DroidLight I took the bus home from work one day and had to walk along a bike path to my house. It was winter and so very dark outside. Without a head lamp or any other source of light, I began my search for a flashlight type of app on my Droid. This one fit the bill, and I've used it many times whenever I've been in need of a flashlight and not had one with me. It uses the light from the phone's camera flash. The picture you see when opening the app is giant light bulb. Simply touch the image to turn the light on or off. When on, the light bulb glows yellow. This is a must have app!
