I find it surprising there's no Imdb app. Is there a reason for this? It would be really useful...
Would love to see an Imdb app!
It would be really nice to have the IMDB app on my phone. It isn't too bad in the browser, but always much better to have the app.
Me too, come on devs!
There should be some kind of 'Devs for hire' forum.
I wish I had the ability myself. If someone gets a half decent Imdb app, even for 50p or something, they'll probably make a tidy little sum...
If only IMDB had an API....
Anyway, their site terms don't allow you to scrape data from their site:

If anyone did make an app, IMDB would get it removed from the market pretty quick I reckon.

But then you would still be able to get the data. I once saw a friend doing it on a desktop app for his movie library. He had the scores, summary, genre, cover in 1 app. But yeah for personal use only. so It would get pulled from the market fast.
If you are a swedish user I suggest "Filmtipset" app.
It shows many nice info about films, and also the IMDB score.
Tbh, the score is the least useful item on the page, next to any adverts...
For me it's looking people up an seeing what else they've been in, maybe with pictures of them.

Iphone has had an IMDB app (which is really good btw) on their appstore for several months so I guess they don't care that much...

http://www.imdb.com/licensing/ and http://www.imdb.com/licensing/noncommercial is why it won't happen.
I was going to start on it until i saw that.
The Movies app in the Market (Flixster) used to pull IMDb's info for individual movies. If you scrolled to the bottom of the movie details it linked to IMDb, but it looks like they've pulled it. It still links to Flixster and Rotten Tomatoes though.
I can remember pausing my vcr to get film credits to enter into IMDB. Now they have taken all of the data they got for free from users, studios, and artists and license it for a minimum of $15,000 per year. Nice business model, you give me yours and you can pay to see mine.
Most movie/DVD catalog software I have come across (Extreme Movie Manager, Med's, etc..) all scrape from IMDB and other sites without problems. I have owned Extreme MM for years now, and with periodic script updates there has never been a problem. I have yet to hear IMDB ever complaining or going after someone fro scraping.
Come on
I'd like to see the application too. I'm using it on my WinMo
Finally! Woo Hoo!

Does it have a feature where you can scan dvd bar codes to build a film list, and a feature like urban spoon for films where you can lock genres and do a random search so my girlfriend cab figure out what movie to watch by herself?

Hey guys! Due to the massive amount of PM requests I've gotten for Honeycomb-specific apps, that work on Spacemoose's 3.0 build, I decided to just start this repo thread.
I desperately need a GSM Tab owner(s) to test any and all of the apps listed, so I can update each review, as far as what build each app works on, especially now that we've split into two separate Dev threads!!
Thanks to Spacemoose1 for breaking her back to get CDMA owners, and to ssserpentine for bringing GSM Tab owners, working ports of 3.0. If you haven't donated to their efforts, I'd certainly suggest doing so.
GSM Tab owners: check out ssserpentine's thread (with full Spacemoose approval) in the link provided, and don't hesitate to hit the "Thanks" button, to recognize all their hard work in getting a working port ready for your devices!!

Ok, on to the apps. I'm going to try to present this in as clear a manner as possible, giving a screenshot and brief description for each app. I encourage anyone who has found additional files (NO WAREZ PLEASE!), to please post them. Try to follow the layout I've set up, so people can actually see and know what they're downloading. The reason being is that there are a decent number of HC specific apps, but they're lacking in variety; many apps (ie. Social or News apps) manage to accomplish the exact same thing, and it sucks to download a redundant app. So, here we go guys, enjoy!
** IMPORTANT** - It's been brought to my attention that some of these apps (those that I got from the Amazon store) may require the Amazon Store app in order to install. I have NO idea why, but, PLEASE, download the Amazon apk just in case. Sorry for the inconvenience guys.

A nice app with a clean, bright UI, and accurate forecasting. It runs, no problem, and the widget is nicely rendered as well. Until we get GPS functionality, the app can't run in "follow me" mode, so just set up locations manually - it's really easy. It's a huge file though, so be prepared to lose some SD space.

Battleheart - Mika Mobile (46MB)
While not designed specifically for tablet devices, the simple fact that this game has zero on-screen controls, makes it (imo), perfect for devices like the SGT. Battleheart is a fun, involving, and surprisingly in-depth RPG/Strategy/Beat-em-up game, with a quick learning curve, very low load times, and some beautifully rendered watercolor-type graphics. This is perfect for killing time on the train or bus, and isn't graphic enough to be kept away from the kids either. At $2.99, I'd say the game is a good value. Sorry for the crummy picture... I guess Drocap isn't spectacular with action shots. The screen and characters render flawlessly!
*This app does not show up in the market, as of the Spacemoose 2.5 build, so I downloaded it from Amazon. Simply download and install the Amazon Store apk near the top of the OP, sign up for a free account, and search for the app; you won't be disappointed.
Catch Notes - Catch.com (1.54MB)
A really neat little app here, and a surprisingly deep one. Catch lets you set, tag, and share notes, pictures, videos, etc. to and from your computer, and with friends and family, via Facebook, Twitter, Buzz, and a lot more! At first glance, Catch seems to have potential to be one of those productivity apps you can't do without, especially if you're always on the go.

CNBC: Real Time for Android - NBC Universal, Inc. (3.0MB)
If you work in finance, like I do, or simply follow the markets regularly, you may have been disappointed at the lack of a good, comprehensive market app. Now that we have 3.0 on our Tabs, those worries can end; CNBC: Real Time gives you full market coverage (and can be customized to suit your needs), a real-time stock ticker, market news from across the globe, and a nice, compact widget for your homescreen. I've been using the Scrollable Stock widget app for a while now, and I've tried Bloomberg and several others, but I have to say that this app trumps them all. It's available in the market if you search for it, but in case you can't find it, or your pre-release GSM build doesn't have the market included, the apk is below. Go get it, you've got a real blue chip here!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/downloadfile-1.apk
CNN App for Android Tablet - CNN (1.47MB)
The CNN app is, by far, the most flawed app on this list. It's really disappointing because the market screenshots look gorgeous. Trying to launch the app from the drawer will get you a force close every time, but it's made up for by having a really slick, auto-scrolling stack widget, that WILL allow you to access news articles, as long as you have an active internet connection. If you have a CNN account, you can log in and post comments to your articles of interest as well. Can't wait for full functionality!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/com.cnn.mobile.android.tablet-1.apk
DroidIris - Alexandre Delattre (298.26KB)
This app may end up making it into my list of "must-haves", I like it that much! Listen, how annoying is it to search for images on Google??! It's kind of a process, and scrolling down, through pages of irrelevant junk is just tedious, right!? DroidIris solves the issue, by acting as a one-stop-shop for searching, not just Google, but Bing, Yahoo, and other browsers, for the best web-based images and photos. The UI is smooth and sexy as well, with fly-in/out transitions, and quick searching. You might just find yourself never using your computer to look for pictures ever again!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/org.droidiris-4bd62af2bbfd52efa09d01c70ddd43b2.apk
Etch n Sketch - PX Inc. (572.73KB)
For those of you who tend to wax nostalgic from time to time, here's a blast from the past! I remember wasting countless frustrating hours, attempting to "master" the Etch-a-Sketch, as a child, and now I can live out that early childhood trauma all over again! This app, while not Honeycomb specific by any means, could prove fun, especially if you have young kids. Road trips, grocery shopping, or "staying out of your hair", while sitting on the couch, this app could end up saving you headaches... unless you feel like taking your Tab back, and attempting a masterpiece of your own... then, all bets are off!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/com.px.sketch-b92fda86a59300fe89cff2a8edbecd36.apk
File Manager for Tablets (GoAruna) - Aruna Labs (3.6MB)
Ever wonder what would happen if Dropbox and Root Explorer got together and had a kid? Well, this is it; Aruna Labs has cooked up a file management app that (with a free web account), will allow you to seamlessly back up your files online. No more searching for an apk in Root Explorer, then sending it to Dropbox, and waiting for it to upload... GoAruna does it all from one interface! The free online account gives you 2GB of space, and expanded, paid options are available; I will personally be using this to store zip files from my psx emulator, since they don't run on Honeycomb. This will allow me to quickly free up at least another 1.5GB of SD space, and could do the same for you! Free in the market, but the apk is right here! Enjoy.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/file.manager.tablet.goaruna-1.apk
File Manager HD (Honeycomb) - Rhythm Software (1.07MB)
A nicely designed file manager app. If you're used to Astro, you'll probably love this. With cut, copy, paste, and cancel process options, and a couple different views to choose from, navigating your files is a breeze! It's nothing mind-blowing... it does what it's supposed to, and does it while looking good!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/File%20Manager%20HD_1.1.4.apk
File Station Tablet - Farago Software (551KB)
The third, and final file manager I plan on covering here, but that is no indication as to File Station's relevance on this list. While it doesn't give you the online storage options that some others do, what FS brings you is a clean, simple UI, easy navigation, drag and drop options (much more convenient than copy and pasts, imo), and a visually appealing interface. If you've been a long-standing fan of Astro, I highly suggest looking into this; it just works, and works well! Free in the market, and as always, the apk is below!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/com.farago.filestationtablet-1.apk
FriendCaster Tab for Facebook - Handmark (8.54MB)
I know you love that background don't you?! Right, this app was one of the first ones I found, and I absolutely love it! It runs smooth, has a clean, customizable UI, lets you comment, like, and view updates all in one spot. Best of all, it doesn't force close like the stock app is very prone to do. My only complaint it that the auto-scrolling stack widget is a bit too small, but in my opinion, this is a must have app!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/FriendCaster.apk
Google Body - Google Inc. (17.02MB)
It's hard to go wrong when downloading a Google app, and this is no different. Body is fantastic to play around with, and the fact that you basically have a human anatomy book in the palm of your hand, is just ridiculous. That said, unless you're a pre-med student, or just love messing around with random apps, you'll probably never find a viable reason to use this. It still looks cool though!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/Body_1.0.apk
Grocery iQ - Tablet - Coupons.com Inc. (8.80MB)
Initially, I only downloaded and tested this because it's a Honeycomb specific app; I don't really have a use for it, but I have to say, I might give it a go. The layout is clean, and easy to navigate, you can get location specific coupons for a plethora of different items, and you can create quick, customized shopping lists (with product pictures and other options) for each store you shop at! In the end, I decided to include this because 1) it works flawlessly, and 2) because I KNOW somebody out there is going to get very excited about having this app on their Tab!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/com.coupons.GroceryIQ.Tablet-1.apk
Maxthon Mobile for 10" Tablet - Maxthon (2.20MB)
Maxthon browser was something I'd never seen before, and seeing as how they made a tablet specific (albeit NOT 3.0 specific! ) version, I decided to give it a whirl. The layout is a bit lacking, especially when compared to Dolphin Browser HD, or even the stock browser, but the browser's real strength lies (imo) in its homescreen interface, which boasts 42 fully customizable quick links. The general UI is surprisingly good, and seems to have clearly been designed for thumb navigation, with important functions just off the edge of the screen, for easy access. I'm going to stick with Dolphin HD for now, mainly because I'm used to it, it's fast, and the new Fire UI (in blue of course) looks fantastic with Honeycomb, but I do have to say that I'd love to see some of Maxthon's layout configurations become standard for tablet specific browsers.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/mbt10.apk
News360 for Tablets - News360 LLC (1.69MB)
Snappy, versatile, and clean, News360 really does the job! The layout is nice, and navigation is intuitive and interactive (fly-in animations, full screen previews, etc.). The ONLY drawback I see to this app is the fact that the stack widget is huge, at 4x5, and doesn't seem to like to always stay active. Nonetheless, this app is stellar... another one I'd add to my "must haves" list.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/com.news360.news360tablet-1.apk
Newsr - Locomo Labs (239.86KB)
Newsr looks simplistic and unassuming, and you know what... it is. That's not necessarily a bad thing though. Here's the premise; sign in with your email address, and get all your RSS feeds beamed down to your Tab. The app does just that, but choose a feed, click on an article, and then hit the little "eye" icon in the upper right, and the related article flies in instantly. The lack of load times is always important for anyone on the go, but if you use another app, like my6sense, you may not find a use for this app. It's solid, but needs to be a bit more dynamic to catch my attention.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/NewsrHD_Legion.apk
Plume for Twitter - LevelUp Studio (1.92MB)
The artist formerly known as Touiteur, Plume resurfaced with a new UI, boasting a good amount of customization options. While not Honeycomb specific, they have altered the layout and UI to be tablet friendly, and it shows. The premise is basic... read your friend's tweets, leave your own, get direct messages, yada yada... but at least you can look good doing it. In my opinion, Plume isn't going to blow you away (the widgets are Sense-like scrollable widgets, and don't take advantage of the new technology or hardware real estate), but it's a nice app, with some nice features.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/Plume.apk
Tablet Wallpapers - Mobile Spy (2.70MB)
I know how frustrating it is to have a shiny, "new" SGT with Honeycomb, and not being able to find wallpapers that fit well in landscape mode. Zedge has a couple, but not many, and searching online is a crapshoot, both in terms of quantity, and quality. Tablet Wallpapers solves the issue, by delivering nothing but top-notch, high quality wallpapers, designed specifically for landscape mode tablets. I can't say enough about this app... the UI is slick, the search options are vast, and the wallpaper quality is stellar. If you want a replacement for your old wallpaper app, go get this... you'll love it!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/com.tabletapps.wallpapers-1.apk
TuneIn Radio - TuneIn Inc. (1.30MB)
Another of my favorite "on-the-go" apps here. TuneIn gives you a plethora of radio options, from sports to music, politics to food, and it's free!! Yes, there is a paid version in the market as well, but I don't personally need it. I can get my ESPN Radio shows in the morning, on my way to work, and catch my Seattle Mariners broadcasts at night, so I'm a happy camper. If you're on the go a lot, and want a little variety in your life (TuneIn offers language-specific broadcasts as well!), check this out! No need to pay subscription prices for satellite radio, when you've got everything you need in the palm of your hand!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/tunein.player-2.apk
Tweetcomb - Locomo Labs (281.71KB)
Like the name suggests, Tweetcomb was designed specifically for Android 3.0, and it shows! With an attractive UI, intuitive interface, and some nice customization options, this app does Twitter the way it was meant to be done. Look, an app has to be good when the only flaw I can find with it is that it doesn't have a widget ! Hopefully, Locomo will take care of the issue though. Another A+ app!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/BlackDroidTweetComb11.apk
WeatherBug for Honeycomb - WeatherBug by Earth Networks (2.46MB)
Get f'ing excited, because I know I am! This app was ripped straight from the SGT 10.1 system dump, but I couldn't get it to work until today. As such, it was a last-minute inclusion to the list, and I have to say, one of my personal favorites. With the AccuWeather app clocking in at a mammoth 46MB, while WB is only at 2.5MB, it makes it a no-brainer for me, as far as storage space goes. Not to mention.... look at that UI!!! It's clearly custom made for Honeycomb, and I'm really glad I got it to run (again though, no GPS means no "follow me" functionality). Adding locations is a breeze, and if there's one real complaint I have, it's that the widget is awful, especially when you see the care that went into designing the UI.
**To get the app to run without force-closing, go to the main Settings menu, and click on Location and Security. Then, click the "Google location search" box, and when the pop-up window comes up, tap Disagree. Then go into the app, and in the pop-up box, uncheck the bottom option (I believe it's an "Enable Location" option; you can leave the background updates on, and the app should run just fine.**
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/com.aws.android.squall-1.apk
Webport HD: Travel and Hotels - Webport.com (1.40MB)
Do you travel a lot, or are you planning a vacation for the family? Don't spend extra time scouring website after website, comparing airline and hotel prices, because Webport HD will do it for you! Designed specifically for Honeycomb, Webport HD brings you a super nice, all-in-one search engine for both airfare and lodging, allowing you to instantly compare locations and rates, and make the best decision quickly. While you can't book flights or rooms directly through Webport, they do provide the contact information to you, so you can get on the phone and make reservations, while looking at the information on your Tab! The UI is simple, and getting search results is accurate and fast... what more could you want?! We live in an age of convenience people, why would you want to waste more time than you have to? If you're a travel nut, get awesome with Webport!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/webport.com-1.apk
Wizz (Colorize Widget HD) - SnowBEE (1.1MB)
SnowBEE has brought us great widget packs before, but I have to say that this takes the cake. Formatted exclusively for Android 3.0+, Wizz brings your social networking and agenda widgets to the next level! While this IS a trial version (Pro version is in the works), and can be found in the market for free, it offers such a nice variety of widget designs, that it's almost impossible not to recommend this app. I do have some issues with the themes not sticking, and (up until last night) all the widgets, with the exception of the calendar, would set off the "Strict mode" red border in this build. With that issue corrected now, the widgets look and perform flawlessly, and will give an added dimension to any homescreen. I have no qualms about saying that I WILL be purchasing this when it goes Pro, but until then, the free version does the trick.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/ColorizeWidgetHD1.4.1.apk
**If you too need a fix for the red border, check the post from ssserpentine, below. This solution worked instantly for me, and I've had no issues since!**

I didn't think so, since I got the majority of them off of the Amazon Market for free and the apk downloads I got elsewhere were double-checked against the official listings in the Android Market, so everything should be good. I certainly don't want to be posting paid apps, so if you let me know which one you're talking about, I'll take it down right away!!

Thanks a ton for this.
No problem guys. I've been following Space's thread since the day it went up, and I've seen how excited everyone is getting, but honestly, it kinda sucked to have a shiny new UI, and no good apps to put on it, nor the market access to get them. Having a few of these apps on my Tab makes it more usable on an every day level, for me anyway. Considering the only 3.0 app w/ widget that made it into the build was YouTube (which is broken for me), I wanted something more... something that could really show off the firmware, so I went apk hunting, and decided to spread the wealth. I hope you guys enjoy what I've found so far!
thx a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot !!!!
now i'm waiting for GSM version
like i said in PM, really great! nice and thorough
thanks again
It's my pleasure guys, really. I want everyone's first Honeycomb experience to be a good one. As soon as I get a couple more "every day" apps posted (and as soon as we get audio into a build), I'll start testing a couple of games. We might be stuck on that though, since a lot of the very best games seem to be Dual Core (Tegra) reliant, but I'll check.

Yeah, I tried installing the books.apk from both the Xoom and SGT 10.1 dumps, but no luck I'm going to rip the one out of my Liquid Gingerbread build next, and see if it will fire up. YouTube has been hit or miss for me, honestly. I can't launch the app directly, without getting a fc, but the widget does work, and will take you to the appropriate video, and yes, the UI looks fantastic! I can't wait for full functionality! That's another issue though... I haven't been able to get video to play reliably at all (have Flash 10.3 installed too), but I'm sure Space will get everything sorted.

Didn't even realise there were 10.1 dumps Haha. I know there's a 1.1.4 version floating around the internet, but when the Xoom dump leaked, I looked inside and everything was a Tablet variant. Haven't looked since, but maybe that could gibe some clues.
Possibly one of the things I'm looking forward to most is that wall of videos It looks fantastic. I'm sure they'll all be ironed out in future builds, burning guess GSM support is taking full priority.

Yeah, it seems Space is really pushing hard to get a GSM build out of repo and on to the download page! It looks like Alpha 2 isn't even going to drop for GSM though, since Space is working on the next release, and she said that she'll try to release both v3 versions at the same time. I'm hoping audio and GPS at least get ironed out in the build, but we'll see. The suspense is part of the fun of flashing alpha builds!
And I agree, the YouTube carousel is (imo) one of the best UI overhauls I've ever seen! I can't wait to actually play with it!
**Oh, and the 10.1 dump is from I/O... I found it a couple weeks ago. It's really similar to the Xoom, but with extra apps (gotta love Samsung bloatware!). The only reason I downloaded it was to post it on Space's thread, in the hopes that she could use it in her builds. If you want it though, I can throw it up here for you.
App Update
**Added 3 new apps to the OP; Catch Notes, DroidIris, and Etch n Sketch**
# Fuze will be included as soon as our devices get data connectivity, since the app requires a phone number to use.
Important update in op!
It was just brought to my attention by luke1333 that some of the apps listed, may need the Amazon App Store app in order to install properly. I'm totally bemused by this, considering they ARE apk files after all. Even though I did get some of them from the Amazon store, I was not expecting the files to have Amazon specific permissions!!
In light of that development, I've added the required apk to the TOP of the OP. Sorry if that issue has caused anybody any inconvenience.

Awesome find! Thanks a bunch; I was meaning to get around to reviewing that, and it just got lost in the shuffle. I've got 3 or 4 new additions coming a little later guys, so keep an eye out!

Was hoping you didn't mind me posting, since it is your thread. And FYI, Wizz looks sweet. Playing with it now.
So NCAA is promising us an Android app that will be able to stream live games right on your phone. Starting this year streaming live game access will cost a one time fee of $3.99. But for a limited time you can get a free access code brought to you by Coke Zero by texting "0YOURTEAMNAMEHERE" to 2653. You should get an automated reply with the access code and how to set up an account.
If the Android app is similar to the iOS one it will still allow you to do quite a bit without a subscription if you don't want to pay $3.99 once the promo above runs out. This is from the iTunes description:
NEW for 2012: live game radio of all 67 games
NEW for 2012: live social chatter for teams in every game
- Fill out your official NCAA Bracket Challenge bracket right from your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad
- Track the entire bracket live throughout the tournament
- Follow live scores and player stats - including team leaders and a live lead tracker (iPad only)
- Get alerts for upsets, overtimes, crunch time (close games), and your favorite teams
- Post directly to Facebook and Twitter
- Use My Channels to see where each game is on all four networks – TBS, CBS, TNT and truTV
With the low In-App price of $3.99 you can also:
- Watch the CBS NCAA Basketball Championship Selection Show bracket selection show live on Sunday, March 11
- Watch LIVE streaming of all 67 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament games
- Watch a live stream of team practices from the Final Four®
- Watch highlights of all 67 games; highlights available right after each game (iPhone/iPod Touch only)

Provided the app is free I will be posting an apk from Titanium as soon as it lands in the market just in case it happens to be restricted to the above devices only. I guess we will see if the app will check build.prop or root access, and also if it will work on Honeycomb/ICS since they don't appear to be supported.

Any progress? None of my devices are eligible. Thanks.
Here is the app from Titanium attached, its inside a zip file to avoid the apk size limit. It doesn't seem to be too strict on unofficial devices as it installed fine on my HP Touchpad with CM9. Unfortunately there is no tablet UI but the stretch to fill screen compatibility mode in ICS works, so tablet users won't be stuck with a tiny app and possibly tiny video. There are no games on now so I can't test video but everything else in the app is smooth. Hopefully it lets rooted devices in, I didn't get any issues launching the app.
Kindle Fire confirmed
Preliminary report is that the app is working great on a stock Kindle Fire. Thank you!
Works well on my Kyocera Echo....UI even looks good with Dual screen mode. Thanks for posting the APK. Paid for the App and then found my device was not support.
March Madness Live - working on Galaxy S2
Thank you for posting the apk file. I just installed it on my Galaxy S2 and it appears to work fine even though the device is not supported.
APK File
Here's a link to the APK file instead of a zip. Extracted from my Epic4G and installed on my Galaxy Tab. Everything works fine for me.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/0li5slomy3u65x9/NCAA-3.apk
Before anyone pays for the app check out this thread. I got a free code a while back and still seems to be working.

The app was definitely made for a phone, but it's working just fine on my TF101.
I was able to install from the Market just fine on a TF101. No sideloading required. Running CM9 Nightly.

Wish I found this before I paid for it. Just hope when it's live it works

Get the code associated with an account aand log in to the app. After that we will have to see if video works. I will be testing it on my GB stock rooted D3 tonight since there are games on. I expect it to work, I may possibly have to run ota unroot. But what I really want to see is how my ics touchpad with cm9 does. Hopefully video works but I'm not getting my hopes up.

OK the first game has started so here is an update.
Its working through my Droid 3 pretty well. It does not care about root. Video quality isn't the best especially when viewed over HDMI. But at least HDMI output is working even if it looks bad. Be patient when waiting for the game to appear. There will be a commercial first before it lets you in to watch and some black screen in between.
Now my Touchpad. Its running CM9/ICS and its a tablet. When you go to watch the game a browser prompt comes up unlike GB which just starts playing the video. I allowed it to open in the default browser and a flash plugin came up on a ncaa.com page. It played the commercial and then went black. Since the app stops video when it is pushed to the background chances are once the browser appears to play the ad, it never gets the redirect to the live stream.
I was able to use the desktop player on my Touchpad by going to http://www.ncaa.com/mml/player/console.html in the regular ICS browser using a desktop user agent. Once logged in via the flash applet I was able to watch games but the video only worked in full screen. It was a little laggy getting there since this is a big flash applet made for desktops. The video quality looks great though on a tablet and once I got to full screen there was little frame dropping. It may not be that way on lower end tablets though, but this method should work on the Galaxy Nexus. I attached an image of it from my Touchpad.
EDIT: Tried it in Dolphin Browser on my GB Droid 3 and its working okay, dropping frames a bit more than the Touchpad but still watchable.
on my Nexus, i am not able to type in my password in the login box. The characters seem to be overwriting each other. i tried with the normal browser, and dolphin, same result. both using desktop agent. WTF, this app is pissing me off!

Same problem for me. Not a Nexus, but Captivate running CM9 alpha. Probably going to flash to stock until tournament is over. Also same problem on TF101, but if I can't get that to work no big deal. Gotta have it on the phone since I work nights. Pretty sad that they don't support ICS at all. I don't seem to recall app devs having this much of a problem when we went from Froyo to Gingerbread. I guess it goes to show just how much different ICS really is under the hood, and not just a pretty UI.

Hi there,
I've recently developed a 9Gag application for Android - iGag -, as I've switched from my iPhone to my Android Phone i felt the need for a good application to browse with.
I had previously developed the first 9Gag app for the iPhone (iGag, hence the name), and I tried to port most of the features I felt necessary such as comments, offline mode and like/dislike. Although I previously used InfiniteGAG, I thought it lacked a bit on the feature and presentation side.
Here's a list of the most relevant features:
Hot, Trending, Vote, Random and Favorites Gags sections.
Fully zoomable High-Resolution images.
Fullscreen Mode
Holo Interface
Login on 9Gag
Like and Unlike images
Autologin
Caching for offline browsing!
Caching in background for usability purposes.
Google Play - iGag
Hope you have the time to test the application, and I'd be glad if you could give in your input to help improve the app as much as possible.
P.S. Recently added Jelly Bean support, "might" be a bit unstable!

Will try this too! Looks like NINE though, the interface.
By the way, if Apple sues you for the i in iGag, send him trucks of one cent coins this time. LOL kidding xD
Cool app, can't login thou
you gotta do sth about it
cause 9gag doesn't signup with email anymore
Pretty cool. The UI is very well designed and it is fast! I think everyone should try this if they read 9gag
Thanks for the work.
Ive been using this app for a month, and gonna give five stars as the result :thumbup:

Love it... Can you put a loading sign for the pictures that loading? Like the one in nine
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2
The UI is too cramp. Is it possible for the save button etc to appear ONLY when the picture is click?
I will try to sort out a better interface for all the functionality associated with the Gags themselves.
As far as not being able to Sign up, check the intructions on the login screen, you can still signup by e-mail if you're not logged in to facebook on your browser and you go to their sign up page.
I will try to add the Facebook login as I had it on the iPhone version aswell.
Hey, nice app!
But I am missing a loading sign at some points, too. I was a bit confused when i "clicked" and nothing seemed to happen.
Another idea: When you click an icon, it could change its color, like getting brighter or sth., so you see instantly what you clicked, in case you clicked wrong.
Anyway, really cool so far!
//edit: i like the idea of an easier facebook login, too
Hey there andryyyy, you mean a loading sign on which button clicks? Save button?
Glad you enjoy it nevertheless
Perfect app
Way better than infinite gag
Btw get rid of i something like gag droid, droid gag would be good
Swyped on my blade

Wow, the sheer number of 9Gaggers here is astounding. I bet not one of you knew Slenderman before that stupid Slender game was made. Did you know your community has been the most hated community on the internet since eBaums? I wish those newfags on /b/ just DDOS'd your site.

iGag, why you no show nsfw posts?!
I think it's like Nine - 9gag for android, but Nine has a bit better design and handling in my opinion
loving the caching feature! really helpful.
comments are awesome too.
app is sluggish while loading (but who cares).
app closes when entering another app (i usually 9gag, and whatsapp at the same time, i notiiced that it closed itself when i entered whatsapp and then got back to it)
