[APP] RTimeNews, Instant news in your hand - Android Apps and Games

Hello!
A colleague (d4rkb1t) and I have been working hard for quite some time to bring you this and I hope you enjoy it as much as we liked it (although missing a lot of work still to do, but why are the first to to test the application.)
This application will bring you a different way of reading the news. Not in terms of viewing, if not how to obtain them. And counting will go but we have designed this application in mind the following premises:
* Do not eat much 3g
* Results fully customized
* Make it quick to learn and use
* I wish you the news of your newspapers and / or favorite Web pages in hand.
First of all and most importantly to warn you that this is a beta version and we hope all the world's help to list the bugs you may encounter. We need your feedback much as we want to make the application as perfect as possible .... and we need all the help possible.
On the other hand, I appreciate a lot if you send us your favorite newspaper or website to see if we can fix it directly to the button that you have set the options, and so will this bigger.

Post reserved for bugs & issues

This looks nice I'll be sure to give it a try in the morning
thanks

Remember that we need A LOT of feedback. Things like:
* Bugs (this is the most important and we are sure that there are some of them)
* ForceClose (and how to recreate it)
* Usability tests and your opinion about that (did you see the TimeLine?, or the ReadLater tab?, was it difficult to see them?)
* How could we improve the app and its look&feel
* Newspapers or webpages that you want to read in Rtimenews.
* General opinion about the app.
We are working hard to release the final version asap, and we would love hear you, and your opinions and feedback.
Thanks!

It installed, asked me for country- I selected Brazil thinking I'd be able to choose more than one to get news from, it went to the next option and I pressed back to chose USA. It force closed and now it fc every time I try to start it.
Cm6 RC 2 running dumfuq kernel.

Re-installed. Love the idea. Two things I'd like to suggest :
Make a widget, would love for this app to be one of my screens.
Make the icons that pop when you choose a news a bit bigger, so people wont press the wrong one by accident.
Cheers!!!!
Thanks!!

Usefull Tool for Android developers.

Hello world!
As a developer, i know that you have always wanted to see all the comments of your applications.
This is quite difficult with android market, because you can only browse data in the langage of your phone.
With appstats, you will be able to browse all the comments of all langage ( 6 for now) and know what people think of your application.
My application was buggy last month, but now all is OK and you can browse now all the informations you want.
Please consider leaving good comments, because after the problems last month, i see my application loosing it's precious stars.

Hello, i just rewrited the application with an API and I do not depend on other website.
This app is now working alone and pretty fast.
I will continue working on it, feel free to send me feedback!
Note:
I am connecting with a dummy email adress and I don't know how Google will accept that, maybe this account will be blocked soon, I don't know how does Cyrket, androlib and all website make their connection, but I hope I won't have problem.)
So maybe my app won't work in a few days!
No feedback? O know that the app stopped working for month and I lost all my stats in the android market, but I have now 800 active users and still no feedback and my ratings on the market didn't change for month?
Please tell me if something wrong happen while I will be working on the UI.
New update in the Market: allow you to see the total number of rating and some bugs corrected.
Still no feedback
Please tel me something about this app...
It looks nice, how do I add a bookmark? BTW, you have this bug, when loading the comments and changing ur phone orientation to landscape or portrait you get a force close.
The easy solution is to add this to that activity:
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
This happens also when searching for an app.
Hope this helps. Another thing is that the comments loading takes some time, it would be cool if this would be faster if possible.
Nice Tool.
Why is it limited to the last 10 ratings per language?
PS. There is a typo when choosing the language. (it says: Choose your langage)
Please add more languages and make number of comments configurable. Otherwise it's a useful application.
Would be also nice to have optional background periodic updates with notifications. Google translation on comments tap would be cool feature too.
Pity there is no source available, I'd fork it otherwise and add the features I need plus more cleaner UI.

Hey everyone,
I'm currently in my final year at uni, and part of the course is a project where I basically have a develop a piece of software. My choice was an Android shopping price comparison application ala ShopSavvy.
You may ask why I decided to create an application, which a working version already exists. Firstly I did this for the technical challenge, and didn't really think I'd be releasing this publically. I've decided though that there is a good chance that I'll release this. Second is that my application has an added feature which allows users to contribute to the database!
Currently it has nearly all the features that ShopSavvy has including searching, barcode scanning and price alerts. I've tried to keep the UI standard Android as much as possible, and I think it runs a bit quicker than ShopSavvy. Currently it's UK and US only, but I plan to make it more global friendly as soon as possible. It's also Donut (1.6) or newer due to me using some Donut only features (Search mainly).
BETA Released!
I've released a beta onto Android Market. At the moment, it's only available in the UK and US but will be available for more countries soon.
QRcode for Market Link:
http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.brightbuyr.android/
One thing I would like to feedback on the application. Just general stuff really but focusing on:
Users of HDPI devices (Droid, Nexus One, etc) on how the layout looks
General bugs (FCs, ANRs)
If you'd like to give feedback on the beta. Please do so on the following link, it's only a very short form:

Thanks

What would Alpha testing involve??? lol

I go to Aston university Mainly just using the thing and reporting back with feedback, nothing special.
id be happy to beta test it.
The name sucks : Just saying...
I really like the UI. I can beta test too, I have a N1.
Looks nice, I like how it shows nearby shops on the map. Radius would be IMO better in the form of slider rather than drop down list. It would be also useful if it could tell me opening times.
Beta Released! See the original post!!!
It looks good enough in the Nexus one. Good work
Just uploaded version 0.1.2b onto the Market. Now works in the US as well (hopefully anyway lol)
Just uploaded v0.2.0 onto the Market. Mainly bugfixes but also a small help system.

Measures time spent on each app. See which apps to uninstall because you're not using them!
The most accurate app usage tracker! Accurate to less than a second on Android 1.6 and up.
Main features:
* Free (for now)
* Shows app usage by time or number of launches.
* See usage for today, the last week, the last month, or since installing.
* Click on apps for more information, like first launch, install date, etc.
* Uses virtually no battery power- only records when you change apps, unlike others which check every x seconds!
See how much time you're wasting on Angry Birds or Facebook!
Great app. It is an app that should have been present on Gingerbread by default.
Hey chaitanya91845, thanks for your download, really glad you liked it. If you have any suggestions, please let us know
Quick update:
Added default icon for apps with no icon. 1.3 had this for new users; 1.3.2 fixes it for upgrading users.
When I go to the market, I get this error "Your device is not compatible with this item"...
I'm using galaxy ace with cm 7.1....
Same message with my HTC desire.
Works on my HTC Evo...
Same here not compatible with my Samsung Galaxy S i9000T. I wonder for what devices it will work.
thank you testing it now.
Hi adiles, kostelo, claus1953,
Thanks for the feedback.
This seems to be an incompatibility with recent versions of CM. We've changed some settings on our official Android Market account; hopefully that fixes it. Can you please try again?
If that doesn't work you should be able to install it from slideme: http://slideme.org/application/appusage
Please let us know how you go

Thanks, download from the market worket now.
Great app... but I'm less than impressed by the recent update that forces users to add their gender and age.
Hey zmattmanz. Glad you like the app. It should have only asked you about your gender and age once... that has always been present, not as part of an update. Did it ask twice?
If you're concerned about your privacy, don't worry. We're pretty sure it's not possible to personally identify you. No one will contact you. It's more anonymous than the top search engines!

Cool! Thanks for letting us know
Update: We released a pro add-on that opts you out of the data screen. Keep in mind that the non-pro version collects NON-IDENTIFIABLE information. In other words, this is more anonymous than using google. But as requested, we released a pro add-on version to suit some customers at a very reasonable price. We are currently working on new features for both versions, but the pro will have some extra add-ons. Thanks for all the replies and email, we take your feedback very seriously.

Awesome. I am loving it especially since I am the only one in my area meaning I get in early with the buying. What I also like is that it doesn't require the checking in person to have this app and yet I still earn. Thanks for the fun of this hope it grows bigger quickly.
How Do i attack people's venues? Coz i have seen you attack me, but i cant find how to Do it, Do I need to be close to the location or something like that?
Ps, if i can help with testing something, sent me pm, I am from Belgium to
Edit : forget to update attacking is working

Hey, i saw you're from belgium
At this moment, i just want to get it bug-free, so if you encountered crashes, please report them (through google play or here). Personally, i don't have a lot of them but there's always a chance
Also, at this moment it is actually important that more users join the game so i can see how the servers react to a higher 'game load' but apparantly it is not easy to get a lot of users. Possibly, the game will die in a while
Anyway, i keep developing new features and all. Maybe you have some tips to make the game more appealing and more fun?
I try to find some new goals and badges to reach to make the game more 'game'
There is currently also some bug sometimes, due to the foursquare servers (faulty load balance / technical errors on fsq-servers). More info can be found here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...ll-for-checkinscount-returns-different-values
I can't always get the correct checkins every hour. I thought i catched it in my code but apparantly this night i got $300000 dollar rent for a venue (Panos)
So this are things i still need to check out
First thing to do is also pimping the navigation style (i was thinking on a left sliding bar navigation drawer)...
But a big tnx for your interest!
By the way, play store rating and/or comment can also help
Urgently seeking someone with a 2.2 or 2.3 android version to test this app. Some are reporting force-closes but i fixed some things (sherlockactivity) and want to know if all works now for lower android versions...
Emulator seems ok though
Cant test android 2.3
But on leaked 4.3 for nexus 4 game is runing fine

the app was updated [email protected] 13' on play store.....looks nice game.....try updating the attachment
