This list is terrible. Both handcent and GOSMS are better than chomp by far if you actually pay for phone service, you have two ringtone apps up here like that’s only customization people to their phones, and anyone can search llama on the google play store and get a free app that does the same thing as locale.

You have comments and this article is 7 hours old and you have no comments.

  Not to make you look like an idiot or anything, but for your information, the article is referring those original Android apps that were around since day 1 and are still around. Handcent and Go SMS both have been around a few years, they’re excellent apps (we’ve reviewed and recommend them) but they have not been around since day 1 to make this list. Reading is fundamental…
  
  A little insight, expert review focused websites do not have all the frivolous comments similar to a gossipy news based site for the sheer fact that we’re right almost all the time and no one tends to challenges our opinions. They just accept the good advice and download the apps we recommend.

    I understand that DAO missed the point of your article, but he was merely stating his opinion. Not to make you look like an asshole, or unprofessional at all, but you come off an an unprofessional pompous asshole. Just saying.

Well, with that explanation the list makes more sense. But I have to say that the title is VERY POORLY WORDED. I also interpreted the title of this article the same way the first commenter did — as the 5 all-time best apps since Android first came out.

You people are stupid. So correct me if I’m wrong but when you clearly misinterpret something because you skimmed through it then verbally attack the author it’s not only their fault but you attack them again and call them an unprofessional pompous asshole… and this makes you not an ass yourself?
