CSpotRun 1.2.6 (Palm OS)
It promises to read doc, and it does that without crashing, a ghastly UI or other problems. Color icon and UI would be nice but are not the end of the world. [alert admin]

TextDrive 1.5 (Palm OS)
Crashed my Treo 600 every time I tried to use it. 
I really wanted to like this app because it's polished enough to come with a color icon. But I tried to open three docs and each time it crashed and rebooted my Treo. So for now I'm sticking with CSpotRun which may be b/w, but has the great advantage of actually working. [alert admin]

ReadThemAll 1.86 (Palm OS)
"Offers two autoscroll features" equals "is not a normal doc reader". If all you want is to download something that reads doc format material with normal human controlled scrolling, this is not for you. [alert admin]

ZDoc 5.1 (Palm OS)
Garbage. The UI sucks, and the up/down rocker scrolls by a line, not a page. Don't waste your time. [alert admin]

Audiocorder X 3.7.2 (Mac OS X)
Oh boy, another lameass app where the programmer spent far more time than necessary on a flashy UI while ignoring basic testing. First thing I did when I tried this was to record from my USB mic using 11kHz. By the UI, and by common sense, I believe this should do what is necessary to convert the microphone's data stream into an 11kHz sample stream. But the app seems to think this means I want to claim that the mic samples at 11kHz. This is just stupid, stupid, stupid. Look guys, writing a decent audio record app is not hard. What one wants is - playthrough - VOX (that works usefully, not some lame version that triggers every few seconds) - AGC (same comments as above) - record direct to MP3 (or AAC) - no BS settings (like the above sample-rate setting) that are simply unconnected with reality. If the app wants to know the sampling rate, query the damn mic --- don't waste the user's time. How about authors spend time on the above useful features instead of ugly looking graphics?

NotePad Deluxe 2.3.3 (Mac OS X)
the rave reviews above. I wanted a way to store lots of free-form text data---URLs, code fragments, book reviews, debugging hints, jokes, and so on. I wanted styled text, URLs that worked, and most importantly a way to structure the many many notes that was easy to view and easy to modify. I downloaded about 40 apps from VT---outliners, notepads, brain-storming apps, journals, you name it. NPD is, IMHO, the best for what I want to do, followed by Hog Bay Notebook (which doesn't obviously lend itself to restructuring the data hierachy). NPD is not perfect---in particular I'd like to see + better integrated and more powerful searching + internal links + a way to include external files in the database (as references, not actual data) + export to XML but I'm happy to spend $25 for it. (In an ideal world, this app would become a very nice UI for data that could be poured then into a Wiki or as HTML and back into the app.) [alert admin]
