Those are tested but many also pay a fee to be listed in their website so keep in mind that you're paying for that fee. The orange/blue label larger ones and the translucent low-profile blue ones work just fine and are cheap. The free version of the app is quite powerful and lots of folks just use that for most of their needs. I'm not one to pay for apps often but Torque is one of the few that I have paid the fee to get the Pro version of. Not that it's that much better but the dev has done a fine job developing this app so I like to reward those who put good work into something I benefit from. Most other apps I just use the free version and let them get their money through advertisers or whatever.
