Welcome to the weekly roundup of the best new Android applications, games, and live wallpapers that went live in the Market or were spotted by us in the previous 2 weeks or so. This is the app roundup. The game roundup from this week can be found here and the tablet app roundup here. Please wait for this page to load in full in order to see the AppBrain widgets, which include ratings and pricing info. Looking for the previous roundup editions? Find them here. Today's roundup is sponsored by HeroCraft's latest game - Musaic Box. Our own Liam Spradlin reviewed this game a few weeks back and found it to be excellent for both lovers of puzzle/hidden object games and music. In HeroCraft's own words: -- Musaic Box is an unusual combination of musical puzzle and a detective quest. Its scenario offers you a riddle: to find the old organ

With all the hullabaloo around the Siri integration with the iPhone 4S, Android lovers have been looking for an alternative to run on Android devices. There’s a handful of apps already on the Market, like Speaktoit, but the quick development and launch of iris has pushed this personal assistant app to the top of the list. There’s a few other personal management apps that gained popularity this week, including Garmin Fit, Shoeboxed Receipt Tracker and MindMeister. Want a phone that talks back? Try iris for Android. It’s inspired by Siri, interacting with you through speech, and wowing with its personality. Ask iris to perform searches, or complete tasks on your phone, such as calling a contact or sending a text. You’ll need Voice Search and TTS library already installed on your phone (most already have these pre-installed). iris (Siri backwards) is all about leveraging the newness of Android 4.0, with an

Connects faster then the other app I have and doesn't drop the signal. Would be nice if you could create a workout on the app with intervals
Alejandro
It's a good application so far but you cannot share your workouts in Facebook or twitter, a big drawback.
Benj
Now that the zero distance and workout type bugs have been fixed: very useful to check out my last 30 days of Garmin Connect data, can replace my Forerunner in the odd case I forgot to bring it. Looking forward to seeing an ANT+ adapter for android and more features in the app, e.g., access to more than just the last 30 days of workout data.
Vagelis
Plz add more activities. like skiing-hiking
Jeff
Love the app, it would be even better if you could send workouts and routes from the connect web site to your mobile device. Please add BT HR monitor
John
Good app only issue is with tracking. The max HR for past event uploaded from Edge 800 is showing on this app 10 heart beats lower than the 800 reads
Goose
this is the first version of this app and is a good start. As other users mention below there are a few features that need changed like 30 days limit on activity view and ANT+ adapater for Android. Would also like to see more interactive charts and additional feature like shoe tracker, run against yourself, etc.
Morton
Works well, wish it had better manual input support.
Gary
Bought this today and used it straight away! It's quick to get going with which is great as the app I have just ditched took a little longer to open.

I read through a lot of reviews and there was mention of a bug saying 0 meters, but I can only imagine it was because of interference with their gps signal (since app is complete based on that). My GPS signal works perfectly on my phone and I found that the fit keeps track of lap times, pace in minutes per mile, elevation, calories burned, and map of route. It did everything that I was looking for. Really liked garmin's connect site with workout, goals and a more in depth analysis of run.

Showing 0m distance for all my runs? Looks like it could be useful once the bugs are ironed out.
Benj
History for Garmin Connect does not show type of workout, but distance "0 m" for every workout; total for "this week" is wrong (does not take change of "First Day of the Week" setting into account); pace chart does not show up; charts have some weird downward spikes; other than that, looks solid.
tim
Cool, like the integration with online acct. would be great to be able to connect gps device (eg edge705) straight to phone and upload tcx directly!?
Derek
I bought this as I thought it'd be nice to look at my historical Garmin Connect data on my phone. My first issue is that you can only see the last 30 days runs. More importantly, as others have mentioned there is currently a bug in v.1.0.0 which means all distance data shows 0m. And there is currently no ANT+ adapter for Android (only Iphones). I got a refund but might purchase again when the bugs are ironed out!
Greg
Won't allow me to either create a new account, or log onto an existing one.
Brian
They should clarify better in their description. In order to track indoors, it does not use your accelerometer, instead they require you have an ANT+ device attached to your phone.
