Need replacement for AKNotepad - Android General

Hi, Does anyone know what a good FREE app to use as a replacement for AKNotepad?
I have been using this app for a while now and like the fact that when get a new device or wipe my current one for whatever reason. All I have to do is log on to this app and all my notes are there. Basically they are stored on a cloud. Now that CATCH is no longer going to be around, I need to find a replacement.
They (Catch) have suggested:
Evernote
Simplenote
Springpad
OneNote
I have looked into INKPADNotepad and don't want to pay a monthly or yearly fee.
Basically, I just want to be able to jot something down for future reference.
I would like to know what others are using and what they recommend?
Thanks in advance!

Recovering Paid Apps.

Have my TB and gave my DX to a friend to try.. made the mistake of wiping my paid apps. Mainly looking to recover Real HDMI ( friend doesn't want to pay if he doesn't have to of course. Morally speaking, a license has been bought so no harm, no foul?)
Anyway, I had heard if I use my gmail on his phone, the market will recognize bought apps in which case we can re-install them and then we can blow off mine and re-sync his gmail. Anyone have experience with this or can verify?
Thanks in advance.

My paid app always resync. The others non paid apps are a hit or miss.
Awesome, I assumed it would work as the gmail sync as well as Market is entirely separate from whom Verizon shows as the phone-holder. Just wanted to confirm, thanks.

Remember, I said the non paid ones are probably not gonna resync. At least they never do with me.

Unified email app for Kindle including Activesync

I'm looking for a unified email app that I can also use with Exchange/Activesync and Yahoo boxes. From what I can tell, KF mail app doesn't include Activesync support (yet, or ever?). I use Touchdown on my Nexus S 4G but frankly, I don't want to pay another $20 plus I'm looking for a unified inbox.
I also have a Nexus S 4G and the mail app can do this (although I don't love it because it has some major restrictions, mainly no warning before delete). Does anyone know if I could take the apk from the Nexus and install onto Fire? Has anyone done this?

You can try to side load the apk, it won't break anything, worse case is it won't work.
Why can't you just use the license from your Nexus for Touchdown on your Kindle? Just curious.

I could, but my preference is to have one inbox for Exchange and Yahoo. TD only does Exchange/ActiveSync accounts.
On the license moving, I guess I need to read up more on the licensing policies. I thought you could only use licenses on one device/machine.
Check out Enhanced Email. Its on the Amazon and Aneroid markets and is only $9.99. I like it a lot. Its based on the stock aneroid mail app, so it catches a lot of heat? The support from the dev is awesome though!

Thanks. That is one option I'm looking at, although I was hoping for a free option which is why I was considering the Google Mail (not Gmail) apk. I won't be doing that much emailing on the KF, which is why I'm shying against spending any money at all. I'm glad you like it though, that's a + I suppose.

Just fyi...I read in the reviews of Touchdown that someone else bought a tablet and put it on there and they where allowed to use the same license for their phone and the tablet. So you might want to look into that.

Anyone know how to get Craigsnotifica

Anyone know how to get Craigsnotifica ? It was the best craigslist notification app on the market and it's gone. I just wiped my phone and flashed a new rom and on purpose didn't do a backup (wanted to start from scratch) but didn't expect this app to just not be on the market anymore.
Any ideas?

I also could really use a copy of this, as I'm in the same boat.
Once I receive it, I will share it across 2 Dropbox Accounts, Google Drive, and a Minus account.
That's four mirrors for the price of NONE!
A PM or a reply, either or.
Thanks in advance.
I discovered a funny little trick, which is the reason I've been able to keep the app: I use the market app Appbak to create a text-file backup of all my installed apps. When I go to reinstall my apps, the app uses that list to go to each app in the market, and if Craigsnotifica is on the list, it WILL show up in the market!
Of course we should all keep a copy of the apk on our sdcards/computer.
Here is the apk: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18474790/com.mufumbo.craigslist.notification.android-1.apk
has anyone noticed that in the past week the app stops displaying the content of posts? it shows the title and the footer, but the main content is missing. I sure wish someone could pickup the dev of this app, as it is, as somoene else posted, the best CL app out there.
thanks.

Does anyone have an alternative to Craigsnotifica? The other applications I've tried don't have the RSS style and multiple item tracking that I have learned to love...
is anyone else having trouble getting the body of the Craigslist ad to appear on their device? This just started happening to me recently with this app.

Yeah, i noticed that too. Not sure why, maybe something changed on CL and the app hasn't been updated in so long.
I don't know if any of you will like this one, but i've been using cPRO craigslist client droid from the market. it does notifications, but they seem to use a lot of battery. But It works pretty well for me searching and browsing.

Thanks alot. I love this app...been using it for couple of years now. The latest version doesnt show the body of ad. I wish it worked though!
Its hard to understand why the developer took this app off the market...did he stop developing it?
If so, someone should carry on the button!!!

I changed the settings and got it to show the body/text along with the pictures etc to show on each ad. Prior to that I would have to click on the peace/craigslist symbol to see the whole add and not just the pics and location.
Once I opened the app and got into the menu I seleced Preferences/Storage/Cache Ads Data (checked the box) and all new post and searches now work like it used too showing the text etc and are also available off line to review later. I am using version 3.28
I am still using it on my G2x until it just flat out does not work anymore. All the other apps I've found just don't compare and all seem like carbon copies of each other.
Now I just need to figure out how to remove the ads since I can't purchase the full app.
Very sad. I tried this and the results came up empty for everything. Every other Craigslist app is crap in comparison to this apps simplicity.
Anyone try this other app in the market yet? It seems really simple, yet has all the features like notifications and posting even. I haven't put it thru it's paces yet tho...
Search for claspics in the market..

Astrid alternatives?

I was just wondering if you guys know any alternatives to Astrid as it is shutting down since Yahoo bought it.
Remember the Milk is suggested a lot but it is only useful if you pay $25 a year. Anybody know some free alternatives that work just as well if not better than Astrid?
This site brings up some good apps but has anybody actually tried some of them?
Where do you know Astrid is going to be shut down from?
I'm using it for a long time and it's great. I was using remember the milk for some time but it is strange, I don't like it.

The Astrid website and the emails they have sent out - Yahoo has bought them out and it's shutting down shortly. I've looked at a few of the recommended replacements but none of them is as good or easy as Astrid.
I'm using mainly Astrid android app. But I didn't get any emails.
I was using some apps long time ago but those were very poor...
Will have a look for some alternatives...

Sorry to drag up an old thread but theres a bit of an update. Astrid seems to have been picked up by another developer, a few of the features are missing (listed on the google play page) but it seems to be pretty good.

Astrid, I miss you so much!
Sorry to drag up this old thread again, but as I miss Astrid very much, I just have one question that keeps me up at night:
Why was it necessary to shut down Astrid?
I mean okay, Yahoo acquired Astrid. That's no problem for me. But when I buy a house, I do not burn it. I really don't understand why they shut down a very well running system. Can anybody explain this to me?
Some words to the posts so far:

Totally agree! I tried EVERY alternative. The closest to Astrid seems to be Wunderlist. I go with this now, but usability is by far not as good as it was with Astrid. I also made a suggestion do wunderlist: http://wunderlist.uservoice.com/for...se-just-implement-all-the-useful-settings-ast

I'm all ears. Your link is broken.
Hi,
It's now called 'Tasks (based on Astrid)' by Alex Baker. Seems quite active but it doesn't have the pure calendar widget support yet so I'm still on the original Astrid. Just trying out 'DGT GTD' which is looking very promising considering it's rock solid and still in alpha!

a good exchange mail app replacement?

Hey Guys
Now that exchange mail have been integrated into Gmail app. I wonder if there is some other good alternative email app with exchange support for those who does not want to use gmail App for both Google and exchange mail account.
Any good suggestions?
I couldnt get gmail working on the dev preview. I was recommended "Nine" I bought it and I love it.

Thank you, CloudMagic looks great, I read a bit more about it and seems like they download your email messages in their servers for indexing. it may be a deal breaker depending on your privacy concerns or company policies.
And, since cloudmagic is free, I wonder which is their business model..

Seconded this the improved EMAIL app is actually nice. Heres a link to the thread that has a flashable ZIP and an APK in there of the separate EMAIL app to work alongside GMAIL and also bypass exchange security if you need it.

Nine is the best one available. It also handles calendar and tasks.
CloudMagic works well for the email, but it doesn't do calendar and tasks. There's also the problem with then storing your information on their server. I don't like that.
If you give Nine a chance, you will buy it.

Also bought Nine here... Moved from TouchDown.

As many have already mentioned, Nine is brilliant. I've been using it since it was initially released and have watched it evolve into an absolute killer application. Nothing compares IMO.
Support team is also great. If you've got any questions, suggestions, feedback etc, email it through and you will get a response fairly quickly - at least in my experience anyway.
It is continuously being improved and well worth the $10.
What about Boxer? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.boxer.email
Did anyone try the Exchange function?
I'm tempted to buy Nine.
Just reporting back, I ended up using Nine, it's great. It also works with Pebble, (it has an option). Thanks everyone!
