Android Useful Apps

Guys, I'm looking for a good weather app for Android with South African Weather and a widget. I've looked around at a few, but thought I'd ask some opinions as well.

I'm currently using WeatherSA and Yr.no but neither have any widgets.

Asking for the most accurate one is like asking which series is the best to watch on a Wednesday. You'll never get a straight answer, lol.

another guy on another forum is looking for a decent camera app from the play store
any suggestions?

I have been switching between the following three, their predictions seems pretty accurate most of the time:


AccuWeather

Beautifull Widgets

Eye in Sky Weather

App found today: Milage Logbook

Starting a new job in Feb and there will be some travelling, so went out looking for an app that can track my mileage.

After some settings tweaked, I start the app as I get in the car, click 'Start Trip', its asks for you starting mileage in km or miles (which ever you prefer) and there you go. Information on screen shows how far you've travelled, amount reimbursed (that must be set in the settings), current gps coordinates, provider (satellite or network), accuracy and current speed. At the end of your journey you stop it, it asks you to double check your mileage with what it calculated, and you're done. (the milage check at the end i put in while i'm testing the app to check accuracy, so far, its more accurate than my car, as my car doesn't have decimals but the app does :D )

Can export logbook to Excel, comma delimited and html.

Price: Free (like in completely. no ads)

Looked at the too. Only problem J had with it is that you have to manually start and stop it.
Would love an app that would talk with Tasker or Llama and start/stop it based on events.

For now I just rely on the Tracker unit in my car. Does not do much more than provide me with SARS logs, but at least I don't have to remember to start/stop it.

Ye - I am lazy that way.
