I've seen a few App Requests posted as threads here, and I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread dedicated to act as a catchall for App Requests. I gather that we have Dev Dudes from major tech corps roaming around these halls, so why not have a list of apps we want as consumers easily available to them!
I'll kick things off with these requests:
-A good, integrated guitar/bass tuner with metronome and practice timer(s)
-Adobe Camera RAW interface
-Adobe Bridge for tablets
-VLC Player for tablets
-DJ mixing software that can use headphone output and HDMI [audio] separately for cue/mix output
Feel free to point us to apps that fill requests as they are developed or if they have existed before the request
Way to develop/compile your own android programs.... (or at least just do the developping/autocomplete, etc would be AWESOME!) and well. an app that could launch a ubuntu distro

I'd like an app that you can instantly take a snapshot of the screen or take a camera snapshot and start to annotate on it right away, e.g you were browsing and came across something of interest and you want to add your own comments and underline or mark a specific area.
I know this can be done using repligo or ezpdf however it will involve a few steps to achieve using the Asus's in built snapshot feature and then converting the document to pdf in order to annotate but I want something instant without having to convert the file first, similar to htc flyers note taking app.
Can't you do this with Evernote? I just downloaded this last night but it seems really slick.

Unfortunately, you cannot annotate using evernote although it is fantastic for taking notes, i use it at work at meetings. I want to be able to take a snapshot of the meeting agenda which is usually printed and then start to add notes against agenda items.
I'm just going to make a list of the things I think will make this brilliant - I'm a very small time developer, and don't have the skills to do these, unfortunately:
Something similar to Microsoft Onenote - Drawing/notes/annotations all in one
"Phone Sync" where you pick up your tablet, and it also becomes your phone for SMS, MMS, Calls, and you can share clipboards between the two - This would be brilliant!
Decent Twitter and Facebook widgets
Modified Launcher with resizable widgets, folders - ideally, LauncherPro optimised for Honeycomb.
I'd like to see the Monkey Island games and some of the old Cinemaware titles such as Defender Of The Crown on Android.

You can play the monkey island games nicely using ScummVM.

I designed an Android app for tablet which I think would be pretty easy to make, UI, name, logo and all, but... I'm not a programmer. Also I believe this will be an app which would be handy for a lot of people.
Since I designed, thought of and branded the app I really don't just want to give the idea away to anyone, but if any app developer is interested feel free to contact me and I could explain the concept to them.
PS: I don't want a share of the profits or to get paid for it or anything like that, all I would want is to find a developer who could do justice to not only the concept but also to the design since there are so many well functioning but terrible looking android apps.
Excellent posts!
Thanks for the interest and the activity on the thread!
I'm watching a thread where a couple Asus dev dudes have actually weighed in on an issue users are having, so I'm gonna see if I can't point them to this one so we'll have some ears that can make a difference. Hopefully some [all?] of the ideas here will filter thru and become reality!
Kudos to everyone!
I'd like an app that can sync via bluetooth (not via the web/cloud), incoming sms messages/caller id/missed call info, from an android phone directly to the transformer with notifications.
I know there are lots which do it via the web, but this isn't an option for me (pre-pay sim not contract).
EDIT:
Another idea for an app, don't know if possible to implement or not. When browsing google search results it would be nice to have an app that lets you see how many kilobytes or megabytes a website requires you to download, before you accessed the page. So that mobile users can see how much data is required and can manage their free allowance better, or not be charged a fortune.
A media player app that can
1. have gesture controls like moboplayer
2. have good codec support like moboplayer
3. can stream from server
4. and can hide the honeycomb taskbar!!!!
Settlers of Catan map generator
Would be cool to see a Settlers of Catan map generator with support for Seafarers, Cities and Knights, Harbours and a roll counter.
did it ever occur to anyone that now that there is a keyboard and mouse capabilities that someone should port an fps to the transformer?
I would love an app/widget that monitored the battery of both the Transformer and the keyboard dock. It's almost impossible to tell how much juice is left in the keyboard. If someone knows of an app/widget or a built-in way to do that, please let me know.
Edit: I would also love to see a folder app that integrates data from the Market, so if I download a game, it automatically adds it to the Games folder, etc.

Eye-Fi for Android
I'd like to see a version of the EyeFi manager/control center for Android
still hunting for the torrent app to work with private torrents
alternate keyboard
since the dock is still in short supply it would be nice to have the ability to use my android phone as a keyboard/trackpad for my transformer through bluetooth or something. the entire screen could be a landscape keyboard that you could swipe down to access trackpad.
Hello all,
Just wanted to make you guys aware of an app that I installed yesterday to convert images and docs to pdf. I have used quite a few of these before however this particular one has been redesigned and is of excellent quality. The new version has been on the market since the 8th july 2011.
The app itself is easy to use and the quality of the pdf's produced are very good. You can also enhance images when creating your pdf's if the images are not that great and they do improve considerably. You can also choose from a number of different paper sizes and the orientation of the docs you produce.
Another excellent feature is when you create multiple pages, you can reorganise the order of the pages by dragging and dropping before creating the pdf.
To view your pdf's, after loading pages and ordering them to your liking, click on the view button and choose your preferred pdf viewer and save as necessary.
Search for "scantopdf free" by a company called "NYM computing"in the market, the free version is fully functional without ads and watermarks however to support the developer, I have purchased the app as it is currently under £1.
If you download and like the free version, leave your positive comments for the developer.
I've been loving Android since the day I switched from IOS, but to this day, I still can't find a good note-taking app (mostly for typed-in notes). On IOS, there are many of these apps that allow typing, drawing, recording audio, outines, fonts, colors, etc (AudioNote, Notability, etc)...
However, in Android, I can not seem to find a singe app that allows me to combine typed-in notes, hard-drawn drawings and audio recording.
I thought those were pretty basic requirements, and they are in teh IOS world - just wondering if I'm missing something or if maybe it's a market just waitng to be had for ANdroid?
Thanks for any help you can offer! I'm currently using EverNote, but it doesn't offer the ability to draw... I see that they just released Skitch as a companion app for EverNote that is for drawing, but it's really not integrated into Evernote...
Thanks Again!
You can try Extensive notes. It has options for those notes, but not all together in one. You can make a folder that has all the files. You could try emailing the Dev and ask if you can attach drawings to regular notes. I usually just use Extensive notes or beautiful notes for typing and handrite for drawings.
I've been using tabnotes. It's not bad at all. Wish I could cut and paste inside the note like on xournal, but other than that, it's great.

Freenote might be what you are looking for. Though it's not tablet optmised.
I use evernote, but its just really a rich text editor.
THanks for all of the suggestions guys - I'll check them out!

Note Everything can do text, paint, photo notes. And more. I been very happy with it. You can make a paint note and use a thin line to write with.

If you have Evernote installed, and its sister app Skitch, you can you pretty much do whatever you want.
Another great app is Freenote which allows you to type, draw, handwrite, take photos and import/export pictures.
Any of you use this phone for taking notes during college?
I'm looking for a nice app to take college notes (something like ms paint, because standard android drawing apps won't let you draw straight lines)
Please share your experience!

Skitch or Smart Diagram
Skitch and Smart Diagram both allow drawing of lines. I think both are free, although the free SD version has a limit on document numbers.
Skitch has the advantage of a free-form note and integration with Evernote (a beautiful app if ever there was one).
phatpad is also another paid app and works well with the Note.
If you go to their website, you can try it free for 24hrs by downloading the apk.
I'm not a student but there are apps like Soonr Scribble, ezPDF and iAnnotate that allow drawing and scribbling on top of your documents, etc. Then there are also Mindjet, and Epistle. Would like to hear what others have to say!
There is also FreeNote in the market. But after initial enthusiasm I uninstalled it. But others may like it better that I did.
I found/tried Phatpad yesterday. It is great because you can freely place everything everywhere: Text, scribbled notes and graphics. You can edit everything if you reopen a document, which you cannot do with Skitch (which would be a great app otherwise). Phatpad allows to lasso-select and move parts of the document around. That's a rare find for android 2.3 apps.
All in all it's a well composed app.
But ... it's very buggy. And for the prize (which otherwise would be absolutely justified) it's too buggy IMO.
If you can wait for ICS there are a few free-note-taking apps for 3.0 and higher which look very promising.
I am getting a note to use in my college courses and I am going to load up ICS right away and use "antipaper HD" or something along those lines. I tried it out on my nexus and it looks very promising. You get to keep separate notebooks and everything.

I used Mindjet just to create a brainstorm for my dissertation. I need to reinstall Evernote really as I find that handy. It may not be relevant for you, but Dropbox is handy for sharing files.
I wanted something that enabled drawing on GDocs stuff, just like you can draw on their website version. Now THAT would be something. I take notes for college too with the Note, but i keep whatever i have to draw separate from the main stuff in gdocs.

Do you guys know of any notebook/note app that enables auto zoom? Lecturenotes and Antipaper requires you to manually advance to the next part when you zoom in so can anyone tell me if there's an app that moves automatically when you've reached end of paper? Thanks guys!!
I am itching to use my new Note for extensive note taking and writing, but I haven't come across any apps like penultimate on the iPad. I'm through and through an Android user but I have to admit the apps on iOs are much more polished. sNote is good but if anyone knows a really polished note taking app, please let me know.
I spent quite a bit of time yesterday looking for a diary app but almost all the apps are typing-based and the ones for inking seem not very mature. Can someone suggest a really good diary app with date, weather, etc. added to that day's entry, allows entry with the sPen and is visually appealing?

Not sure about weather but have a look at FreeNote and Papyrus. if you search this thread few people have recommended it and provided some good comparison.
Try `jotter´ its not too mature but its worth a while.

Hi
there is an evernote add on skitch that lets you take notes using S-pen
also the page of skitch is almost infinitely big,
you write in the entire page pinch shrink and whola you have a lot more space...
I think it depends on what your note taking process is (or what you want it to be).
I tried every note taking app I could find and decided Freenote+ was the best for me.
I made a demo video of it here which might help give you an idea of how I use it.
But that was when I was on GB. Now I'm on ICS, I need to find some time to check out some of the other apps that I couldn't use before...
For me, LectureNote is the best.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Depends on what kind of note taking you are trying to do. LectureNote is a really good app for notetaking and seems like it would be perfect for a student.
You could also try Quill.
+1 for Lecture Notes on ICS. Has even succeeded with rendering my beloved fountain pen obsolete ;-)
