My third freeware Android application is UKTraffic that was written at the end of 2008.

It gives latest UK England traffic conditions as published by the Highways Agency, Traffic Scotland and Traffic Wales.

UK Traffic is available free on the Android Market.

After writing WordNet, I received many emails asking for a spell checker. Most people wanted a spell checker to check SMS and emails. However, this wasn’t possible. Instead, I just created a stand-alone spell checker.

ASpell checks word spelling against GNU ASpell dictionary and says whether correct and suggests correct spellings. Defaults to American English unless you select British English check box.

ASpell is available free on the Android Market and at the time of of writing this has had over 28000 downloads.

WordNet was my first Android application written last year. It’s an English dictionary that uses WordNet.

Features include:

• A UI that remains responsive during lookups (so you can back up or change your mind and look up something else)
• The server URL and data parsing is data driven to allow these to be changed in the future without the user having to reinstall the application. (A similar application on the Android market is already ‘broken’ in that the servers they rely on have already changed)

WordNet is available free on the Android Market.
