Is there any app for the HD2 that acts as a basic checkbook register for free? Without linking to any account or anything, just adding and subtracting transactions, similar to Loot for Android. Thanks!
winmoFinance might be just the app you're looking for. Google it and I am sure you'll fine somewhere to download it.

Anyone here with any recommendations? I'm kinda sick of the support from EasyMoney, and I want something better and more worthy of the money I spent on EasyMoney. I just want it to be easy to use and have a way to backup my records.
Financisto. Appbrain page
It's free (there's a donation app that doesn't add features but does support the devs, consider it if you like the app), open source and feature loaded.
Lots of account options, budgeting, places management, scheduled transactions, custom entries (awesome feature). It's really really flexible, to me it's awesome. The only thing wrong with it is the interface which I think could need an overhaul but top notch otherwise.
Edit: Btw, you can export to CSV, backup to your SD or backup to your Google Docs. Take your pick!
+1 for financisto
Been using it a long time, recommend it.

There is a problem with financisto, which is its reporting, it doesn't let different account reports to be viewed separately, that is, it clubs the different account reports. Other than it is better than easy money.
Give Loot a try maybe that fits your requirements.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/loot/net.gumbercules.loot
there is a premium version of it, which is free because the developer is really nice and have made it free for sometime due to christmas and all.

I tried some expense tracking apps and finally I stayed with Tap Money Tracker.
If you try and feel that you already seen better alternatives, just let me now so I can try them also
Thanks guys. Anyone tried out anMoney yet? I've been trying it out with Financisto, but still undecided which I like better. I do like Financisto, but it does not have a bill reminder function, or a page where I can dump bills that I should pay and the due date.
I am really in need of an analog to pocket quicken. I use quicken for my finances and need something that syncs and keeps a balance on the mobile...Has anyone seen something like this or a good workaround. Mint.com is not really an accounting program as it only deals with things that have cleared and will not sync to quicken.
Go defend America then get USAA. Hands down the best.

I would like something as powerful too.
Mint.com is what i use to track all of my finances. Its super powerful and there is a mint.com app that if very feature packed.
mint.com looks alright but yeah only US and canada right now so useless for other countries.
I use financisto, seems the best free one I could find
To the OP: You asked about AnMoney and I have been using it for a few months. I find it VERY useful for daily transactions as well as getting a handle on my personal finances. It gives me a snapshot of where my $$ is at any point in time, and it does include budget and reporting capabilities. While it would be great if those 2 features packed more options, I'm still very satisfied with the product. I forget how much it costs... but it was very reasonable IIRC. It allows transfers to/from savings/checking, loan payments, recurring entries (such as payroll or automatic debit). Very user-friendly and customizable. I also tried Mint and thought it was pretty good except for the fact that none of the credit unions I utilize permit Mint to access the accounts. Sort of defeats the purpose if you can't get your savings and checking accounts to show up lol. Hope this helps you.

Thanks for the reply! Is there also a bill reminder option in the full version of anMoney? I don't see it in the full one, so I'm gonna ask you since you have it!

Hey,
can we really trust google? because it is a global company like any other, but with the nice image of being open source. Is android really open source, can we see the whole code, or there are maybe some parts we can't see which may send stuff from our phones to google we don't want to?
This company give us everything, from mail, over chat to platforms to develope but isn't that only the surface to collect data?
Just thought loud ^^
Is Google trusty?
Who knows? Is your government trusty? Are your neighbors or friends trusty? In Japan Tepco was not. In DDR even some parents were not.
All in all it's a question of faith. I trust in Google and many others do. Let's hope that we won't get disappointed in the future.
it's true that, for example, google voice gives you a unique voice id that's tied to your phone and means that have a bio fingerprint of your voice. it's true they collect a lot of information - they collect everything you could think of - ie. the google map cars were listening for wifi id's too - and then some.
the source for android is available, but that's rather immaterial. google does call home for a lot of its services. simply if you don't like that, don't use android.
and yes, there are private branches of android that are not visible - google explain this is to protect patents and upcoming phone releases which is about right.
but isn't that only the surface to collect data?

Yes it is. From your point of view, how does Google know what specific ads to show you that are based on your interests ? Yes, they DO collect data. So does Facebook (and more than 500 mil idiots are using it), Microsoft, etc. So ? Does that prove a point ? No. It doesn't. Just be happy that, from collecting data, Google can use that data to provide ads, from which money come, which translates in the fact that Google doesn't need to put any of it's free services UNDER COST. Think of how many Google services are free, next time privacy issues pop up in your head. And be glad they ARE FREE. If you still have doubts, etc., then just don't use Google. It's THAT simple. End of story.

just think of this way. if they did something bad with your information then everybody would panic and not use their services
they wouldn't risk it

Agreed also on this matter.
Hey Guys,
I have a app developed that I have been charging for use, but i am thinking about switching to a ad model and make my app free. I was wondering what advertising options are out there.
I know that admob owns a pretty big market share, but was wondering what are my options regarding how best to choose an advertiser, what are the other advertisers I have to choose from, and is there a benefit of one advertiser vs. another? Which one would pay more? I know this is dependent on how popular my app is.
Thanks for any info provided!!!
I personally use AdMob in my app. It also integrates Google AdSense ads into your app for when AdMob doesn't have an ad to show. I only just released my app a few weeks ago, but it seems like it will generate a pretty decent revenue. I searched before I implemented AdMob, but I really didn't find anything else.
Ed
wow...so admob has a monopoly of sorts in the market eh? So people use admob or get no ad revenue at all?
What about for the apple iphone? I heard there was iAds, and I guess admob as well? Is one better than the other?
can anyone provide anymore insight, or know of a forum which is popular among android/iphone app developers to better answer my question? There don't seem to be that many app developers browsing these forums.
thanks!!!
Personally, i use admob and have 2 apps using it. I don't make much from it (usually around $0.20 a day) but it's better than nothing i guess
As for which ad company to use, it doesn't really matter. They all pay out roughly the same: Millennial, AdMob, JumpTap, MobFox, etc. It's just down to personal preference really

Can you briefly say something about your app? Is it game and what kind?
How many downloads have you had so far?
When it comes to in-app ads the industry offers much more than just regular banners. There are other ad formats that deliver much higher cCPM than banners but their implementation depends on the kind of app you have.
I work for LeadBoltApps - our speciality is Content Locks for example; Ad mob is mostly banners; Airpush does Push Notifications and so on. Hope that helps.
My experience with Ad Networks
I have a weather app and needed to get ads going immediately at launch to fulfill my contractual obligations for the weather data provider.
I tried both Inmobi and Millennial Media. The problem with Inmobi is that they want to review your app and approve it for ads once it is up and available from the store.
Millennial Media was much easier to work with. Ads were running in my test app even before launch. There wasn't any manual approval hurdle to jump through.
I also tried to work with YP.com (AT&T Interactive) since my app uses location and they pay good rates for local ads. They wouldn't talk to me until I get 1M pageviews per month.
Hi all,
Sorry if this is a duplicate but I already searched for an answer and couldn't find one. I am working on an Android app that I wish to distribute as trialware and I am seeking info on best practices.
First of all, what is the best way to make sure that users cannot get the free trial again by reinstalling? This is critical, of course.
Next, how do I manage the expectations of my users who think they are downloading a totally free app? Is there a better way than just shouting it in the app description?
Any other advice, links or suggestions on this topic are much appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Barry
Hi!
The only way to prevent reseting the trial period with reinstalling is to create a server and validate the device only by some of its hardware IDs.
Alternatively You can use an online service like https://trialvalidator.com.
Robert
Just keep in mind that server validation isnt bullet proof.
Users can use a simple firewall like Droidwall to block incoming/outgoing communications or both for individual or all apps.
There's LBE or Pdroid which can prevent apps from obtaining uniquely identifiable information and also change it so that each time your app requests the ID it gets a different random ID.
Then there are "code patchers" like LuckyPatcher and others which can patch the server validation within the app and bypass it.
You might get lucky and be releasing an app whose target market isn't a particularly tech savvy audience, but personally I run a very tight ship on my phone, and will not install any apps without locking them down completely.
This includes free and purchased apps.
Even my system apps are screened and only allowed to access the bare minimum on my phone to retain their functionality.
Have you looked into having crippled/free and full/paid versions of your app? Or a crippled app that has an in app purchase option to upgrade to full funtionality?
Another option would be an always on internet requirement, but unless its a really great MMO game, users are not going to be too happy about that especially if, for example your app is a music player or shopping list or single player game.
Im not trying to disseminate methods to bypass validation, or dishearten your app protection efforts. This is just an FYI.
Is there a website or service that offers cloud storage for games or apps for free? What's the cheapest you know of? I just want to save game progress on the internet in case someone gets a new phone and wants to keep playing my game. Thanks!
Have you tried SkyDrive integration? I do believe our apps can talk to a user's skydrive that's linked to their Live ID and you can use that to store application data.
A quick google search pointed me to this sample: http://blog.mecum.biz/2011/10/windows-phone-7-mango-skydrive-sample/ and there's also http://wp7skydrive.codeplex.com/ which seems to be a simple wrapper around common functions.
If you want something from MS directly: http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_...ssenger-and-skydrive-to-your-mobile-apps.aspx or http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/silverlight/SkyDrive-Photo-API-sample-f06778ae would be a good starting point. Personally I'd use the latter since it's the REST API wp7skydrive.codeplex.com was waiting to be out of beta for.
Personally, I find SkyDrive integration much easier than trying to facilitate my own service. What if my service went down or I couldn't make payments? My users would be SOL and if your app *requires* the service it could break certification requirements (not that MS is that strict on something that already passed).
Thanks! I really appreciate it.
