Comment on Ask HN: What Android apps do you use?

Comments

Some of my recommendations:

- Hacker News Reader by Corey Trager. Currently the only client that works for me.

- DrioidWall, sort of like LittleSnitch for the Mac, you can block apps from accessing the internet.

- JuiceDefender. Some say that it doesn't work, but after customizing the settings, I find extends my battery pretty well.

- Douban.fm. Good online radio app for those of us outside US without access to Pandora et al. Chinese startup so speeds can be slower at times.

- For my todo list, I use Flick Note as a widget extended to cover an entire homescreen (with TouchWiz 4.5), synced to Simple Note. I also use Flick Note for all other note-taking needs, and have frozen/disabled a few default apps with similar features. On my Macs I use Notational Velocity to edit the list and GeekTools to display on my dekstop.
