what is a useful app when going to spain - General Questions and Answers

Hi I have decided to go on a last minute holiday to spain and was wondering if anyone knew of a useful application that could help with any translation problems i might have. Dictionary, translator or teaching software would be nice. I have a Touch HD so wvga support would be a bonus but not that important, speaking ability would be nice. Also I have other gadgets i could take to spain including a netbook and a nintendo ds is there something better available for them?
Thanks for your help.
Btw im going on my first holiday in 3 years to celebrate finally finishing my degree and getting a job offer woo now i have to work for a living, how annoying.

Really good looking gamepad !
Hope I'm selected for the prize :silly:

Newbie developer, any advices for my game?

Hi. Don't take as self adv., but I'm newbie developer, who released few aps and just released one game 3 days ago.
As XDA is the forum where gathered all experienced guys, I wanted to ask for some advices regarding the game.
(Can't attach the links, but it's easy to find by name "AMAZING CIRCLE")
How do you think, is name and icon of the game attractive enough? I don't plan to spend money for promotion, and from 3 days in market, game got 150 downloads. Any advices how to promote game for free?
Thank you for all your replies :cyclops:

I decided to give your game a go. For a first release this is pretty good. I'm not a dev, but a few comments:
1) The game mechanics work well, and i think it's a good enough time-passer
2) Your Google Play listing has poor grammer, I would look into getting this checked by a fluent speaker.
3) The ads are extremely annoying. Enough so that I'm going to uninstall. I understand that this is probably your main monetization strategy, but covering up the "restart" button with an ad is clickbaiting. I don't mind ads so long as not made to accidentally click them, and by doing so it's infuriating me more than failing at the game itself.
4) The graphics are way too minimalistic. I understand you haven't got a AAA budget, but a few tweaks would everything look much better. White background is very dull. Also, if possible I would replace the circles with some textured vectors. If the whole thing looked like balls a tabletop it would much better. If you look at something like flappy birds, the art quality is very high (even if borrowed).
Not trying to slate your app, just giving my honest opinions.
Thanks for reply, darkdreamingdan.
I will check my grammar for sure, didn't see any mistakes Don't have native speaker near though.
I fully understand that interestial ads are bad, but when I tried just banner ads, they brought me like 50 cents per day maximum.
I made a research and almost every game with same kind of idea uses same kind of iterestial ad showing system - unexpected by user.
I'm sure, if I remove the interestial ad (which is shown once per 5-8 replays actually), i will get less than 0.5$ per day which is not great...
(now I'm getting about $10 per day, and game only on market for 3 days)
And basically, users are not offended on this type of add (if I consider what they write in reviews, only few mentioned this).
Finally, just turn off your WiFi . Plus, there is an Ad Free version for a very small price.
BUT. I decided to look, what will happened with app today (how many installs / uninstalls) and on base of it, I will think what to do next.
I'm thinking about graphics as well now... No ideas.
But thank you very much for replies.
Well study your market and create a plan
before making any game just don't jump into the war . there are really big companies are there like gameloft. sometimes you don't have a proper concept but graphics make you better. sometimes concept is better but the overall management is not uptothe mark. well there are ample of ideas available for you.
study,study and study. create plan. do some sort of survey. see some online polls which kind of games are going on these days. what people are liking. before doing that make sure that you knows your right audience. i mean whether it is going to be played by youngsters or it is for smaller kids. you need to add things accordingly.
well you are asking for ideas i know then you knows about these things. as per mine experience in gaming industry, i think you should do market study. sometimes great concepts come from it. ..

Project ARC. Getting kids/teenagers into the world of development!

Hey there! My name is Josh! I wanted to share some information on a project me and some friends have been working on for a few years now that recently has taken off! It is called aproject ARC Android rom creater's. Pretty much what it is is older guys like me with knowledge on coding and things of that nature. It is a after school/summer program for children and teenagers to learn the art of coding and building custom roms from source! We are currently hoping to expand this program into other states. Me and a friend originally stated it for our own kids and soon all the kids at school found out about what they were doing and learning and as you know kids these days can't live without there phone! So we figured.. since we can not beat them why not join them! Or better yet.. teach them! And that's what we did! I would live to see this go into more states and get more kids involved with it! As some of you may know.. the custom rom era is getting dry and it would be amazing to see these young minds bring more cool crap to the table! So we are currently seeking other like minded people that would love to get the kids and even adults! Into this! We also are currently seeking donor devices for them to learn on as this year for the summer camp we already have 46 students involved! The classes are free so getting devices for them to learn and practice on is a little hard with free classes lol! So if anyone would wanna help in that aspect as well that would be fantastic! Thanks for checking this out and hope to see some people interested!
