Apps That Work - Apps That Don't

Since the Q is the first SmartPhone device with a landscape screen, I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread for posting apps that work, do not work, or work but require changes or special settings to make work. I am seeing some beginning to scatter around the forum so if we could consolidate and post them here it would be greatly appreciated.

I'll kick off with Resco Explorer. I installed last night and it works like a champ.

CoPilot Live 6
I just ordered the copilot 6 for moto Q and it will be avaliable for shipping on June 12th. I liked this program on my Samsung i-730 and hope it will work as good on the Q. Will update with details.

Anyone tried TCPMP or Opera? Very curious to know if either work properly.

Fizz Weather works just fine too:

However I'm still trying to find a HomeScreen Editor I like. Migrating to Smartphone technology from PPC takes a bit of getting used too. However as the phone need came first- I love this device!

Opera works, but only at 240 wide. Once they update it for the Q, looks like it will be nice with the extra width.

FlexWallet 2006 works fine.

Rob -- anything you had to do for Resco Pic Viewer to show the landscape orientation?

There is a setting under the Action softkey > Rotate > called Auto Landscape. I have not really spent much time testing it...but it appears to work. You can also force it to Landscape as well.
