    Love the weather app. Uses geolocation and looks cool.

  • joe rahmeThursday, November 11, 2010 4:25:22 PM

    The weather application is so cool!

    It's simple, it looks amazing and gets results super fast. I loved that it interfaces with the external API. And the adaptive background is simply awesome.

    It would get my vote.
  • shobraThursday, November 11, 2010 5:16:27 PM

    Weather is pretty nice.
    Ganja Farmer is most fun.
    Frequency fun is also interesting, but would be nice to have better editing capabilities of filter. Not just small dots. Also separate channels would be good addition.

    Note: Braid Jump have some problems with keyboard under Linux. Cannot play well. :sad:
  • SteveKongFriday, November 12, 2010 8:16:08 AM

    BraidJump is just fun and it's pretty too. :yes:
    But Weather is a nice app too ...
