Not to be rude, but most apps on the Play Store are going to run slow with those specs, especially if it's running on a more current version of Android than it was designed for. My G2 used to be blazing fast when it came out two years ago. I wouldn't even dare attempt running anything on that thing now.
Personally, I've found Google's Apps to work the best and look the best...on modern devices.
