Your favorite underrated app?

We all know the standard favorite apps...Nova Launcher, Lightflow, Tasker, Pulse, etc. What is an app that you like that doesn't get a lot of attention?
For me it would be Root Call Blocker Pro. With its google group filtering, I was able to go on a website listing lots of common spam numbers in my area code and add those to a google group on my laptop. Now I have about 80 such numbers blocked. I was also able to automatically direct all unknown or private callers to my voicemail.

Webkey. Lets you control everything on your Android from any PC. Even turns your phone access into a URL so no installation required on the controlling PC. Great for using it as a media device when someone doesn't have an integrated multimedia setup.

Screen off and lock.
Desire S • Fallout V2.0.0 • xda premium

Profile Scheduler by Wetpalm, it's smaller and drain less resources then Lama. Scheduler is based on time table - no GPS locations but is free and extremely useful for someone having a fixed day by day routine.

Display orientator is very useful. It forces anything into landscape mode......

AIRDROID. latest update is awesome

It might be a bit more useful if folks would include a link to the apps that are being mentioned. Because I'm bored at work and have nothing better to do, here are the apps that have been mentioned so far:
AirDroid
AlarmDroid
Smart Keyboard Pro
Awesome Wallpaper - as MissionImprobable pointed out, HOLY PERMISSIONS BATMAN!
SwipePad
gReader
Display orientator
Profile Scheduler
Screen Off and Lock
Webkey
CamScanner
TeamViewer
To this list, I would add:
AFV (Android File Verifier) - useful for verifying MD5/SHA-1 hashes of downloaded files
AIX Weather Widget - provides a great easy-to-read graph of forecasted temperature/precipitation for the next 24 hours
Network Monitor Mini - gives a customized overlay indicated current network traffic

@codesplice. u can add TEAMVIEWER, camscanner, ADB wifi n tubemate to the list too

The easiest would be to create an app that has a web view that points to your site. This would be the same as navigating to the site from a browser except you would have a icon in the app drawer.

Take a look at the link below. This is assuming you know how to create a basic Android app.

You can also use one of those websites that create a mobile app around a website. You might want to try those, for example:

[APP][2.2+] CheapCast. Turn your Device into a ChromeCast Dongle

Ok, here it is. The first public beta of CheapCast, an App that let's your Android Device emulate a ChromeCats Dongle. I decided to put this up for free since I believe it could potentially useful to a whole lot of people. If you like it and it works for you, feel free to just use one of the Donation options within the App.
I will also make the Source Code available in the near future (I'm still cleaning it a bit up). Just watch this space: https://github.com/mauimauer/cheapcast
I hope to further improve the App and welcome anybody who wants to contribute.
In my first PoC-Video I've showed CheapCast with YouTube, I've just uploaded another video showing Google Music streaming to a Nexus 7 running CheaCast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ktmrXgj9qQ&feature=youtu.be
As this is the first public Beta please expect things to fail. I appreciate your feedback. Please log your issues/bugreports here: https://github.com/mauimauer/cheapcast/issues
Hope you enjoy it.
Get it on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.maui.cheapcast
or download it here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877489999237

Awesome thanks. I'll be testing as soon as I get home.

very handy!
n4 > cheapcast > note 10.1 attached to sony bravia :highfive:

Awesome concept, but I cannot get my Revue to cooperate at all. It force closes every single time I try to start the service. I've tried multiple reboots and re-installs. Blah this Revue is a POS.

Awesome. Planning to try this on my Nexus Q running CM. Finally give the Q a purpose in life once again

Thanks!
Works on my SGS3 and my Xoom.
Not on my HPTouchpad or my Ouya but I haven't tried very hard yet.

Like it a lot!!!!
Works OK so far. Great concept for sure!! I can get all 3 of my Samsung device to connect but can only get you tube to play. I keep getting errors when using Google play music. Says unable to play requested song.... Anyway, I have my galaxy note 8.0 and also a galaxy s4 connecting to a galaxy s2 skyrocket. I've even tried connecting just the note 8.0 and s4 and have the same issue. Hope to get this fixed soon... Would love to stream to my surround sound when I feel like jammin!

A explaination on what this does exactly would be nice.

concept
i dont know why people are using both sender and receiver as mobile devices i think the concept of this app is that your suppose to install this app on a android tv hdmi dongle and transfer content from your mobile device to you tv

This is really awesome can anyone recommend some good dongles? works great with my gnex via MHL, but still a bit troublesome

Reading this might help, Turn Your Extra Android Device into a Chromecast Receiver with CheapCast.
its to use one for sending and one for receiving, could be useful if u have a spare fone with hdmi.

I was just wondering if such service will be available on other platforms like, Linux or Windows. So it can run on HTPCs.

Try https://github.com/dz0ny/leapcast/
Both seem to have the same problems at the moment though, single channel? Loses connection with the sender after one or two tracks of a playlist.
Very much looking forward to seeing how this develops.

Tried loading up Cheap cast on a second device. (MK802 and ATV1200) It didn't like that at all, none of my phones could see any CCs in Music.

Why??

Same problem here, losing the connection after a song. The only way to get it working again is to either disconnect and reconnect the sender, or to restart the service on the receiver. Bar that, this is class

Had this issue as well. I found out, that CheapCast is registered as another device for Google Play Music. I already had 10 devices attached, so killing some of the old and not used ones fixed that problem.
Maybe you got the same problem, if its only Music that is not working?

[APP][4.0+] VLC Mobile Remote (Control VLC from Android device)

Download BETA version of VLC Mobile Remote App​
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I know that there are many remote apps available for Android to control VLC player on your PC. But all of their UX look/feel expired and most of them are half baked. So I did build one called VLC Mobile Remote with a good interface, which works better than any of the VLC remote apps. Give it a try (it's free) and let me know your suggestions/feedback.
Screenshots
Download VLC Mobile Remote from Google Play
Check out the demo video

NEW !!! Check out our site: vlcmobileremote.com
Be a BETA tester: Those who are willing to help us to improve the app by reporting bugs and suggestions, also if you don't mind to use buggy app , click here to download BETA version of VLC Mobile Remote App
Thank you​

If you have any questions or suggestions, let me know.
Thanks

Looks good i'm downloading now to give it a try, i'll post feedback.

Awesome app and very good looking. Better than anything I've used/installed recently. Thanks for this, will provide feedback as I use it.

Can you make it for google tv???

Hey, I would totally love to be part of the beta for this :3 I cannot seem to connect because my computer is on Ethernet not wifi though it keeps saying to make sure my pc is on wifi >.<

@[color=green][u]AHOME[/color][/u] and @[U][COLOR="Green"]adarshurs[/COLOR][/U],
Thank you for this app, it looks really nice! I am testing it out right now.

This app is really good, thanks a lot!

Damn, a lot easier to use and setup than all other ones I've tried and never liked or got to work. Will definitely be using this. Great work

Selecting/toggling audio device is possible, I'll definitely add that feature

Oh, this is SO helpful!! Working perfectly. Nice job.

Feature request: remember last opened folder. Very handy if watching series. Because right now every episode I have to navigate back to the series folder. In my case it's a pretty big hassle. Y:/AVIs/Complete Series/<series name>/S<season number>/episodes here.
Get the point? I tried 'save folder' but didn't work
Verstuurd vanaf mijn Nexus 7 met Tapatalk

Very nice app! I like the interface and I'm amazed at how fast it is. I'd also "like" to point something out: The folder where all our video files are has a hashtag (#) in front of it so that is the first folder. Unfortunately, the app doesn't open it. If I remove the #, I can open the folder and play everything. Is this something you can/want to change?
EDIT: Changed the sign in front of the folder to a plus sign (+), it works now. Thank you for this awesome app!

I have to admit, the UI is really really nice. Nice work
The only "issue" I have on my tab is that the buttons are not that sharp (as you can see in the screenshot). Other than that, no issues so far
If you need some more info on my setup (screen res, dpi,...), just let me know

I got it.

Hi,
I don't know how you are trying to access the saved folders I had tested it, it was working. Anyway to access them just tap the button which has folder ? icon on it (in browse screen's right bottom). It will open a dialog with all the saved folder.
I think I should highlight it or you have any suggestions?
If it's not working please let me know.
