What apps don't work for you in Ice Cream Sandwich?

So far nearly every app I've installed has worked -- something which actually has surprised me -- but I'm curious if anyone else has encountered apps that don't work properly or crash on launch. I think the only one that definitely hasn't worked for me at all is the Square Card Case.

  • Facebook is totally borked for me. Every time I try to set up a sync account, it boots me back to the original settings screen.
  • None of my NFC apps work (NFC Task Launcher, NFC TagInfo) because of a bug that prevents the Nexus from reading non-formatted NFC tags.
  • Had a small graphical issue with FruitNinja when I first loaded it.
  • Path has some graphical and connectivity issues - I don't know if these are just weaknesses of the app. It also won't let me upload photos that are synced with Picasa.
Other than those, everything seems to be working smoothly!

Edit: New Facebook app update still doesn't fix my Facebook problems.

I haven't had any issues with my regularly used apps not working so far. :) All of my "issues" have largely be due to the differences between prior versions of Android and ICS and muscle memory.

Winamp's Wifi sync doesn't work - force closes every time. Also, when the screen is turned off the music plays terribly - apparently something to do with underclocking the CPU when the screen is off to save power.

I actually have a similar issue with the Music app - playback of high quality MP3s skips when the screen is off. I assume because of the same issue. Very annoying =(

Home run battle 3d crashes on trying to start a game for me. I'm running the CyanogenMod 9 alpha on a touchpad, so YMMV.

Last night I downloaded a game from Android Market called Reckless Racing and this didn't work.
Also there was a display error on one of the music apps (sorry can't remember it's name) but I just uninstalled and found a different one.

Pocket Informant keeps force closing on me. The new Twitter app is kind of sluggish and jerky. I continue to use Tweetdeck as my twitter app.

BBC News and BBC iPlayer are the most notable absentees that I can see. Very disappointed they are not available yet. Other than that I've had only a few minor bugs with the apps.

Good Morning (Alarm)....Music Player...and Dialer is slow and clunky. Oh and Google Maps voice navigation is possessed. I get voice commands such as: In 200 yards, xmls.com equals 24 resolution...blah....blah. Updated and downgraded Maps and still the same issue.

I just got a Nexus S on Thursday and I just got the alert for a system update today for ICS MR1 (4.0.3). Doing it now, hopefully things go well! Crossing my fingers
