Android Useful Apps

I found a really nice replacement Messaging app, EvolveSMS.

I'm using Hangouts to control SMS... works a charm

I'm not a fan of hangouts. Currently enjoying Evolve.

You need to include links to apps you suggest please.
For example, does your suggestion of Automatic Call Recorder refer to this:

or this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appstar.callrecorder

Ah yes, the latter.

This looks a lot like the hangout app, judging from the screenshots on Google Play?

EDIT: Didn't see the last few posts where it was already talked about

Yeah, that works well. I use Playa Control for Winamp, it shows the name of the song playing on the PC on the phone's display as well.

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.

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

My dad still uses it, and people like myself who don't like to use social media apps

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 )

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.

Can a Llama / Tasker profile not be created to perform that action?
