Sports Illustrated Magazine App - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps

Anyone get this app to work on the Tab? When I open it I only get a blank screen after the splash screen. Works fine on my Galaxy S phone.

OK, the problem was between keyboard and chair. I had the phone version, not the tab version. D'oh!

How does the SI app look on the GT10.1? I do not have SI, but if it looks slick and works well with GT10.1 I would consider a subscription.

I really like it. The photos look fantastic and the app itself runs pretty well. I have a print subscription so I was able to add the digital at no cost. I may consider going all digital (but it would be tough to give up the print version of the swimsuit issue - I have 30 years worth of those).

What other sports related apps do you use for GT10.1? I know espn scorecenter is not optimized for honeycomb.

I've had no problems using ESPN Scorecenter on my Tab - that's mostly what I use for scores. I'll also just use the browser to hit ESPN.com. I also use the watch ESPN app - allows me to watch events live on the Tab (part of my cable package).

Check out Feedly too.

I would highly recommend pulse. I use that app more than anything else and on the tablet the split screen is really nice.

Try the following:
Feedly
Newsr
News360 (still in Beta but quickly getting better)
Pulse
My favorites are Feedly and Newsr currently. Several more are in beta stages.

thanks for these suggestions. i tried news 360. its user interface is nice .... and reminds me of flipboard somehow. before any updates from above apps mentioned , ifeel news 360 acts more reasonable for 10.1.

I love pulse. A preinstalled app that doesn't suck is great.
Pulse is okay, I hope flipboard comes to android.
It would be nice but I recently took a survey with News360 and they're currently working on Twitter/Facebook integration. It could possibly help me forget about Flipboard.
Man...if only I could code, I would have started working on an app just like Flipboard called Scrapbook. LoL. I wouldn't be surprised to see Flipboard appear on Android sometime after Christmas. I still wonder if Apple doesn't pay some of these developers not to work on both.
It seems silly as anybody who can program, can just take your idea, change it a bit and put in on another marketplace.
with that being said , flipboard to me ,also is far more better in providing iformation than any apps i tried on android os.
just by searching word 'cancer' , in these apps vs flipboard , one can clearly see the difference ....
hope flipboard coming to android soon ...

the same, hope it will be available for android soon.
Another thing is that they need to make the content more customizable and give more consideration to the individual preference.

That is true.
Apart from the tremendous claim for their attractive layout, this is a real problem.
There is not enough personal customization of content, and most often, the status updates chronologically.
Ive never had the chance to play with it but having seen reviews, I would really like to use planetary on android.
I would pay 4.99 on the market for that
What do you mean there is no Flipboard-like app? Theres Google Currents which is superior
I was currently searching for planetary. Only thing i found , was this thread.
Can someone port it for android? Or am i asking something incredible?
I have flipboard installed on my tab. In the play store says isn't compatible but you can instal it if you download the apk from other source. Once installed the app says in the first time open that is not made for this screen size but works perfectly!

These are some of my favorites
Quickpic - can't believe nobody's mentioned this since the stock gallery is horrible
Grocery IQ - autosync with spouses phone so when you add or delete from the list, it shows up on the other person's phone within a couple of minutes of opening the app.
Handcent - much better messaging app than stock...I even have my LED set to purple!
Ad Free - have to be rooted - especially since most of my apps are free
SoundHound - almost as good as Shazam but is unlimited...Shazam only allows 5 per month unless you got grandfathered in
KeyRing Rewards Cards - hate carrying those little cards around since I don't have keys to carry
Battery Circle - since MoPho only reads battery in increments of 10, this app reads in ones
AirControl Lite - free little game that's a good time waster

I've had Quick Office Pro on my Captivate and now on my SGS2, seemed to work ok. Today I downloaded Office Suite Pro 5, the Amazon free app of the day, and I gave it a go. It appears to pull up documents much faster than Quick Office and I also like its layout and icons better.

+1 just grabbed it myself as well. Might as well try it out for free.
this thing seems to want every permission on my phone. Why? Makes me question it.I deferred installing it for now.

not really a tablet version, but it works. If it were a tablet version, the left pane would only expand to about a quarter of the page. I bet it works with honeycomb and ics though
Actually it doesn't even works with the honeycomb or ics tablets...Check out some pics here:

IPad and ios version is the same so I don't expect a fully compatible tablet version. A 3rd party fb app is "tablet" ready but lacks the features the current fb app has. Reckon its up to the user if they want aesthetic over features or vice versa.
Webos has tablet version right? But I like the current android version. I used it on mobile.website.

Friendcaster has all of the features of the regular FB app, at least all of the ones I use. It works great on the TP.

I've tried It and I'll pass it doesn't have the same features as original app. And I don't like ads.

I really like the touchpad version, especially the magazine style news feed. The sliding of the panes, and links is just like the rest of webOS, intuitive and smooth. It pulls your pictures into the picture application, WP7 style, another nice treat.
The phone app version on Android seems such a waste of the screen. When on the android side I use dolphin browser to get the full site.
The superior Facebook app is just another reason I use Android less and less on my touchpad.

Tagging friends using @, integratedvchat and messaging inbox, also some posts don't show up if users set certain privacy settings.
Also some features have to be opened on the site since friendcaster doesn't support them natively

That's one thing I miss from WebOS it had a really good FB app, and I liked how it linked your facebook albums into thep hoto app.

Overskreen app

Just wanted to share a great app for the note, it's called overskreen. It is a paid app but well worth it. Really uses the big screen well. It allows you to overlay a box on your current screen as a browser. Just like a PC. The stick it app does the same for videos.
Try it out and let me know what you think of it
