Greetings. Tired of returning library books late? Biblioholic allows you to manage books you have checked out of a library system.
Add a book(s) to the list, select the due date, and receive a notification when it is due!
If you'd like, you may also make an update to Twitter regarding your book.
Confession: I made this app for my spouse who really needs to stop returning books late.
Looking for feedback & comments! Hopefully someone out there still uses an old-fashioned library. Thanks!
Also available on the Market.

Looks awesome!
I can't find the full version anywhere. Will the free expire after 30 days?

Thanks for checking it out! I have the full version on hold right now until I figure out my publishing strategy.
Right now I wanted to get feedback from people and make sure nothing was broken on any HW or SW versions. Have you checked out any books yet?
Not yet. Only yesterday I paid $3 and returned the books. I should chekc out a few more this weekend and will definitely let you know how the program works.
Again, this is an awesome idea! Somehow scheduling due dates in Google Calendar didn't help me much.
Maybe you should have an option for "nagging", since "some of us" dismiss the reminder and forget immideately
Suggestions
Ability to scan bar codes.
Ability to enter ISBN.
Integrate with calendar.
Integrate with to do list.
Send email instead of SMS/Twitter.
Ability to have default due date (at my library, books are 3 weeks, CDs/DVDs are 1 week; for books I'd want 3 days, for discs I'd want 2 days).
Different default alarm date for different types.
And, as always, the fewer the taps it takes to do something, the better. Try to figure out ways to make it as efficient as possible. Ideally:
1. Launch app
2. Scan barcode(s)
3. Tap OK at any point to accept defaults for all items.
Optionally, for those with access to multiple libraries, would be a way to pick which library (e.g. scan library card's bar code first, tap on list (not a pick list unless more than 3 libraries please!). Of course, if no library is defined, or only 1, don't make it a step to pick which library, the way it is now is fine
As a librarian, I support this App.
Haha -- Collecting late fees is a pain in the butt.
Great idea! I think with the posibility to scan bar codes for title info you have an app here with big potential (notice that the isbn codes that are scanned are fairly easy to find on the internet. I even believe that there's a central database for this. If not, just use the amazon site )
Take a look at this open source project for implementing barcode scanner funtionality: http://code.google.com/p/zxing/
If you are looking for a partner in this project, let me know
Thanks for the feedback everyone!
Uploaded v0.9.1.

I was one of many satisfied HandyShopper users. Chris Antos had made the perfect
shopping app for the PalmPilot, and I even went so far to that I bought a
Windows Mobile phone because Chris had ported HandyShopper to Windows Mobile.
But enough was enough. My next phone was to be an Android - but how could I
survive without HandyShopper? I couldn't, and I couldn't find an appropriate
substitute for Android - so I had to clone it myself.
AndshoBBer is the result - currently in beta. In some ways worse, in some ways
different but in many ways inspired by HandyShopper. I hope Chris Antos sees
this as a tribute, not a plagiarism.
You may download AndShoBBer from

good idea but not for me
My wife and I really need something that's able to import our massive HandyShopper lists. ToMarket's interface is a bit unpleasant for us, but until now it's been the only thing out there.
What an Android shopping list app, or indeed any modern shopping list app, needs is sync. I really need to be able to add something to our shopping list when I'm at work and have it show up in the app on my wife's phone when she goes to the market, or my son needs to be able to add milk to my shopping list after he's used it all up (again).
A nice touch is some sort of web interface so one doesn't have to type on a teensy keyboard.
I'll give this a try.
In principle I agree with your views on sync - but at the moment I am developing for my own pleasure, and with respect to "modern" this does not include my wife, so I have no personal need for sync, so unless I can do this in an easy way (or make lots of money )....
If you or anybody else has some good input on a library to use for web sync of Android SQLite bases please let me know - then I will look into it.
Anders
Thank you, andbb! I was devasted when I moved from an HTC Aria (WinMo 6.5) running Chris's HandyShpr. I am hoping your tribute to Chris comes anywhere close to his works, as I have been through a half-dozen disappointing shopping lists.
Again, thank you!
see also: OI shopping list
For those who might prefer a different approach, "OI Shopping List" (when combined with the "OI Convert CSV" plug-in) does a decent job with import of HandyShopper CSV files.
rShopping List
I used HandyShopper on the Palm for a very long time before switching to Android.
I couldn't find an Android app with the features of HandyShopper, so I wrote my own.
You might give my app rShopping List a try.
I sorely miss HandyShopper, as does my wife.
So why are we using a shopping list app that disappoints us each time we use it? Because it syncs.
These days I think syncing is a must-have feature for a shopping app. I need to be able to add something to our mutual shopping list when I use the last of it. My wife needs to be able to add something while I'm on the way to the store. This is so vital that we'll put up with an otherwise very disappointing program that manages lists in silly and useless ways.
I have yet to find an app with the utility of HandyShopper that syncs.
As I mentioned, OI Shopping List has many features that should appeal to HandyShopper users, including importing HandyShopper data. It doesn't currently sync, but there are some GSoC students working on sync this summer.

Email is one of those things that you either see as a necessary evil that consumes more of your day than it needs to, or it’s something you ignore completely until you absolutely have to use it. Anyone who says they actually enjoy using email is probably suffering from a digital variant of Stockholm Syndrome, but over the last year there have been several apps that have made the experience a lot more bearable. Gmail is high up on that list. Now it looks like Google is exploring ways to make email something people actually want to use.

At first glance it looks a lot like Gmail as you know it now, but with a few key differences that radically change how the email client is used. For starters, there are a lot more tabs to separate all of your email into. Currently the groups are Social, Promotions, Forums, and Updates. This version of Gmail includes Travel, Purchases, and Finance to the mix, with the same basic properties that the existing five tabs currently have, In your primary Inbox, you’ll see these grouped both in the side menu and at the top of your inbox if there are new messages for those categories.
There’s also a new Pinned feature, which functions exactly as you’d expect.
You can pin an email if you want it to stay floating at the top of your Inbox, and there’s a toggle switch for when you want to see your pinned emails and when you want those messages to go back to their original point in the Inbox. This looks like it would be a great deal more useful than the current star system, which doesn’t appear in this UI at all.
Your emails can also be Snoozed in this new UI. Snoozing an email means it appears as read until the timer goes off, when it will then float to the top of your Inbox as an unread email. You can choose to snooze an email for a couple of hours or several weeks depending on your need, and you can snooze messages over and over again if you choose to.
This is not very likely a final version of Gmail. These shots are the result of Google trying out new features to see what will work for Gmail before making them available to the public. It’s pretty clear that Google’s goal with each of these features is to make email something you can better organize and manipulate to serve your needs, which in turn gives them a better idea of what information you think is important for Google Now and other services. Hopefully we get to see more than a couple of these features in the real world soon.
it seems to be true but so far I hate it, I'm just glad it will work perfectly with tinted statusbar

Hi folks,
So I have been in search for a good-looking yet simple task list manager and to my surprise found none. Some require cloud sync, some integrate with calendars, maps and whatnot, some need crazy permissions and some just look horrible.

I am a proud Note 4 user and I've made an app for myself. Its core distinctive features:
Stores lists in plain text format that is convenient to read and edit and can be easily pulled and pushed to the device
Has just one screen - list of tasks with a small one-line form on top that lets you filter new task or add a new one (it filters as soon as you press on priority buttons or start typing the title)
Supports several task states: high-priority, low-priority, current/active (i.e. "doing now"), dropped, completed
Each task can be given extended multiline description by pressing on the list item
Sorts tasks in a complex way according to their states (e.g. high priority goes before regular, yet high priority with "current" goes before other high priority tasks)
Toggle "done" state with a checkbox near each task. Bulk-change states by long pressing an item to bring actionbar's into selection mode
The list file is saved after each change automatically; it also makes backup before every file write (pull them with adb) because I am paranoid when it comes to losing my tasks
Supports Samsung's MultiWindow SDK
Generally, the core principle is usability - similar to iOS' Reminders but less buggy (it crashed on me every other day) and more feature-rich. Still, I didn't want to make another S Planner, it's already good.
It's very much in beta state - I can easily add remaining stuff with the feedback of others (hard to convince myself to finish it ).
Stuff to-do:
Copy Menu
Share Menu
Edit task details
Dependent tasks support
Drag to reorder
Home screen widget
Photo support
Due date support
Alert device when due
File list support (open list from FS, save, copy, create)
Go to file list when click on appbar app title
Swap refresh and clean AB btns
Confirm delete or add undo
Don't just ignore on-save exceptions
Retain state on rotate
mod edit - closed as per OP request
Could you add a Google Keep sync feature?

Like I said in the first post, I don't want to load it with features you can find in other tasks. Besides, there seems to be no Google Keep API. Why don't you use Keep app itself? It's supposedly good.

Thanks for clarification.
Hi, I'm the founder of CopyCopy. Really interested in your feedback about our instant cloud clipboard service. This is the first time we've posted it online!
What does it do for me?
Copy & paste content between devices instantly.
Keep anything for later just by copying useful information from any app.
Simply copy anything twice, in any app and you can paste it on any device, or leave it in your CopyCopy account for future reference. We're also rolling out features to make it simple to tag and search anything that you've copied. Think of it as Pocket for your clipboard.
It works for any content - from text & photos, to web content, and files.
What the download link?
Play store link.
You can download the counterpart desktop (Mac or Windows) apps from our website.
What else can it do
Our webapp lets you view your clips from any browser, and you can tag and filter your clips to find them later (beta).
Keywords are quick way to recall any content. Assign a short alias to any clip, and whenever you copycopy that alias you can paste the associated clip. For instance, assign the word "visa" to your credit-card number and you can paste in your credit card to any payment form on any device just by copycopying the keyword "visa". Or assign an alias to a link so you can use that keyword as a bookmark from any device.
What if an app doesn't have copy & paste (e.g. Facebook)?
Install Universal Copy which allows you to copy from almost anywhere, after which you can copycopy that content and have it available on all your devices instantly! See our help article on this.
For data that you can't copy (e.g. photos, media), just share

with CopyCopy.
Will it cost me?
It free to copy for up to 50 things per month, and 5 keywords per year. All users get Pro usage for the first 30 days.
Our Pro plan has no limits and cost $1.50 month ($15/year) or refer a friend to get bonus usage.
Does it work without root?
Yes. This is an app that grandma is supposed to be able to use.
Why so many permissions?
Because of phone history function which makes it easy to copy recent actions on your phone.
We're all geeks here. Share you biggest technical challenge, please.
Staying alive on Samsung and similar phones that aggressively kill background services is difficult. We haven't really tried to solve this yet but behaviour has improved with the latest phones on Marshmallow.
Using the copy-twice method on Samsungs also doesn't work in some apps, but we're rolling out a fix for that. (And you can use the pop-up CopyCopy button, which is easier to use anyway.)
What we're asking of you
Please give us your honest feedback. We really want to hear details of how or why it'd useful to you.
i think it is great. I face the same problem.
I'm doing this for now: scroll on Facebook while chilling at home, "save link" of some cool post on mobile, -> Open the PC at the Office, find said post on saved links and share it via the page im managing.

Thanks for that that. We're interested in hearing what tools people are currently using to save stuff on their mobile, or transfer between devices and if CopyCopy sounds easier. (We think it is!)
