Comparison of LoadCentral Android Apps

LoadCentral offers two methods of dispensing eLoads: one via the webtool and another via SMS.  With the SMS method, the retailer/dealer send a message to a LoadCentral access number using this format: '<LOADCODE> <SMS CODE> <RECIPIENT NUMBER>'  For example, to send a Sun Text Unli 50 load, this is the format sent: 'SNXTU50 123456 09333217654'.

With hundreds of load codes available, the SMS method becomes a burden.  To provide convenience to the retailer, LoadCentral has developed an Android app where you only have to select from a list of load codes. Users seem to not have been fully satisfied with the official LoadCentral Android app so developers decided to create their own versions.  This post compares the available android apps from the Google Play market.
