Redboxer app?

Ive been using the app for awhile, then one day it was gone. I flashed multiple roms and its still not in the market. I even looked in appbrain.com and still no luck. Im wondering if anyone else used this paid app and knows any news on this application. Did it get removed?

Looks like it may have changed names?
There's an app called "RedReserve" on Appbrain by the same developer.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/redreserve/com.droidsoftdev.redreserve.main

Thanks for the info I found it, but I already bought the app before under the name of redboxer. Do I really have to pay for it again?

This is a convo from the dev. They shut him down cause his app had redbox in its name, anyways he gave me a refund and I was able to buy the other app. So it all worked out great. Awesome dev!

I was an early adopter of Redboxer and bought it when it was $.99. Since it got pulled, renamed to RedReserve, and put back on the market, the price was increased to $1.99. The dev is refunding the original $.99 to those of us who purchased the original Redboxer, but we're expected to pay full price for the RedReserve. In other words, those of us who supported the dev from day one are now expected to pay $1.00 more for the app just for a name change. $1 is not a lot of money, but it's the principal of the thing. What's to stop any other dev from pulling their app from the market, re-listing it under a new name and charging users again a higher price for it? Great way to scam people. Not saying the dev for Redboxer is scamming. His app was pulled because of the redbox name. He's very pleasant and helpful in refunding, but it just sucks. I wish he'd charge the $.99 that it cost before, at least for a little while, so those of us who supported him early on could get it for the same price.

Hey everyone - just came across this thread and thought I would add some more information.
Yes - redbox did shutdown my app, RedBoxer and cited the reason as trademark infringement for use of the word "redbox". On my home screen I used "Find a redbox". In hindsight, I should have used "Find a kiosk" which is what my new app uses. I also removed the word from other places in the app and used the trademark symbol when using it in the About section of my app.
It was very frustrating because they didn't bother to contact me at all; they simply went straight to Google who puts your app into a suspended status and sends you an email about it. Google tells you that you must work with the complainant to get the issue resolved. Well I tried to reach their attorney but I still haven't heard from him.
I am offering refunds to everyone that bought redboxer and now buys the new app. So far I am keeping up with the emails and I am turning around refunds in less than a couple hours usually.
I do completely understand the principal of people who bought the app for 99 cents having to pay a dollar more and the money aspect of it isn't a big deal for me. I will even paypal the dollar difference to anyone who would like that. I wish there was a way to do partial refunds so that I could credit people for the extra dollar they have to spend on the new app, but Google's market only allows me to completely cancel the purchase and do a full refund.
In addition to all this, redbox is starting to roll out a brand new version of their online system. insideredbox.com has a blog post with more details for those interested. They are limiting exposure to the new system so my app was getting served the new system on occasion which was causing issues. I took it down last Friday and just finished updating it last night to support the new system. It is back in the market currently.
redbox's new system is pretty cool. It seems much faster and it has some new features like support for reserving games and a cart that holds up to five items (movies/games) that you can checkout with all at once.
As redbox completes the roll-out of their new system, expect to see support for these features in my app as well.
Thanks to everyone who has bought and supports my app.

App gone again?
I tend to use titanium backup for my app restores, so it may take some time to notice when an app disapears. Redreserve is gone from the market. Any idea as to if/when it will return? (v2.5 still works great, BTW)

Amazon App Store Apps Breaking?!

Do you have Amazon App Store installed? I do and sometimes I open an app that I got from there and it says I have to reinstall it from the app store.
So I uninstall then head back and redlownload. It works for a day or two then errors again. Anyone else with this?

yep, kept happening with angry birds, could play it maybe 5 mins then error out and I would redownload and repeat. So I got it somewhere else and uninstalled the amazon app store. To many bugs right now.

do you have fastboot turned on? I think that breaks other market apps.

I wonder if they are having DRM issues, like with Rio if you uninstall the App Store you cant play the game. I bet the apps check to see if you paid for and downloaded them from the app store etc.... just my hunch

No I didn't want to risk it.

I had to re-install Angry Birds once, after that it has worked on all other free apps downloaded from them.

The amazon app store allows developers to "turn on" drm, which basically means that applications will not work if you do not have the amazon app store installed and have a working internet connection. In regards to that, I like the free apps they give out every day, but I dont think I would want to buy any from their store due to those reasons. They also have a no refund policy

Just downloaded free Fruit Ninja app and it works fine.

Actually I DID have fast boot on. Dunno why. I must have tried it to see of it worked or something but I have it off now and I did a reboot and am still getting the error. But only seems like its shazam that's the issue. I am running the Perfect Storm ROM so I'm not sure if its something in there that's causing it.

I'm having a similar issue.
I've been using the Amazon appstore for a while now and have had no problems. Installed CM 6.1.3 v054 onto my x10i and Weatherbug Elite and Vignette (which I actually paid for!) both don't work on the custom ROM.
I've tried wiping the data and uninstalling them and the appstore and reinstalling from scratch and it still no worky.
It seems certain apps have the DRM built into them. Is there any way a dev could mod his ROM to include DRM capability? Why wouldn't it have it already?

Part of the "features" of the amazon app store is the ability to allow developers to automatically inject drm into their applications if they choose. Easiest way to tell if your apps have it without further debugging would be to uninstall the amazon app store and see if they still run.

Everything working great so far...

Angry Bords, Weather Bug it's constanly happening too. Got rid of it, and just downloaded it via the market. The programs are definently lookign for the amazon app..

[APP] Starbucks Card Quick Pay 2.1 (unofficial barcode tool)

Update: version 2! Now with on-phone barcode generation instead of getting it from the internet! Plus, more streamlined interface!
For some reason Starbucks doesn't have an Android mobile pay app. So I made one! Update: Starbucks released an official app a few hours after I did. Sure wasn't expecting that.
This is a simple and lightweight way to load up a barcode from a Starbucks card. Doesn't do much else, but it's the quickest and easiest way from card to barcode. Even works with cards attached to an account!
Currently only works in the US at regular Starbuckses and ones that are part of Target and Safeway.
Download
Download the app from the Market or by scanning this barcode. You can also download the attached apk.

Changelog:
2.1 - fixed-size barcodes, cleaned up logo, interface cleanup
2.0 - on-board layout generator, new logo, streamlined interface
1.1 - updated barcode loader, dedicated portrait layout

I've never used Starbucks cards from smartphones before and I'm not sure of how they work, but I'm pretty sure almost no one is going to touch that until you explain the full internet permission in detail.

My Coffee Card does this, plus tons more features and great UI...plus the Pro version is free today from the Amazon App Store
But good to see another dev give it a go, good luck

The name of the app is My Coffee card, he wasn't saying it was his. The op said there was no starbucks app, but there are few that work with starbucks and do many more things than what his app does.

Fair enough.

It needs internet permissions to download the barcode (and for AdMob).
I know there are others out there, but I've heard that there isn't a mobile payment app (i.e. people can't find one) so I figure one with Starbucks actually in the name might be useful.

Pretty simple now, only things it does are get the barcode and save it for later.

OK so I went to download your app and found this.....
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.starbucks.mobilecard&feature=search_result
The official app that lets you do everything and then some!
Not trying to ruin any publicity that you were getting but do you think Starbucks stole your thunder because it looks like they released their app a day after yours.......

Only works in the US? I'm in Canada

...How's that for coincidence. Oh well, I'll probably get some piggyback publicity from it. Can't ever say for sure since I never had a baseline to test it.
I don't think Starbucks does mobile pay outside the US yet. Almost half my downloads are from outside the US so that either means I'm wrong or the people downloading it are gonna be disappointed.
Btw, updated to 1.1. I really should have gone to bed but, well...

Updated to version 2.0. See OP for changes.

Updated to version 2.1, now with changelog!
Also, super secret news may or may not be coming soon!

Apparently it's not available on the xoom either but is for the Samsung 10.1, what a load of ****!
edit - even though my phone is unsupported I purchased it on the phone ok and downloaded to my tablet, gonna try it now

Go here, buy it for $0.00

Open amazon appstore on the Transformer, go to My Apps, click install, enjoy Peggle.

How does it play on the TF? Chuzzle didn't scale very well at all, made it pretty much unplayable.
Edit: Nevermind, should've read the entire first post Looks like the way Plants vs. Zombies scaled, but as long as it's playable, I'm in.

No need for titanium backtup..
you can just buy it from your PC or your phone (hopefully you have at least one of them!!) , and then download from the TF...
the game is playable but the graphics are clearly designed for smaller screens

Like others have said, just purchase on phone or computer, go to to amazon app TF, go to My Apps, and click install.
Unlike Chuzzle, it scales to full screen, however the graphics aren't crisp at all, but fun nonetheless. I just wish all the popcap games weren't so damn big in size.

Agreed. But their games are top of notch quality and highly addicting. So I think it's worth it in the end.
On the phone, Peggle looks amazing and sharp. I prefer playing on the TF101 though.

Can some one be kind and post the apk here on xda, so us not living in the us can have the joy of it ?

No.......even though the app is free today. Tomorrow it will be considered warez

On Amazon, it says it isn't compatible with the TF101.

Amazon Appstore not available outside the US == FAIL

I was able to get it installed but it kept giving me an unauthorized error message.

I had this on my TF and was playing it, today I went to pull it up and it is gone! I went back into app store and it's not in my apps folder. Anyone else have this here?!

Nope. I still have it. If you have a Android phone, make a backup of it and just move the backup onto your tablet and restore it that way.
Can't post apk because its a paid app. But yeah, this shouldn't be a problem to re-obtain since you already have the app in the first place.

Interesting little app that I found by accident on the market while looking for apps late one night. As i downloaded the app I did notice it had some crazy permissions "system_alert_window,read_phone_state,access_coarse_location" which I denied with lucky patcher. Just a heads up to anyone who download's the app to do hahaha. Now to the app in a nutshell its a easy way to find and download classic games really nice looking UI too, so far I've seen Super Mario Bros., Final Fight, Mega Man and my favorite metal slug 2 just to name a few. They claim its over 1000+ games but I don't think so, but theres variety. This app is more so for people who just want to play now without all the hassle because it pretty much does it all for you, just find a game, then download it and play nothing else is needed. Also for my Xperia Play Fam!!!! :good: When you start up a game just map the buttons really easy, then tap the semi clear keyboard on your in-game screen to hide the onscreen keyboards then your set. Enjoy!
Below are screenshots.

this was posted like a month ago.
and the thread was... uh.. Deleted. i don't know why but i became suspiscious i uninstalled the app

I downloaded this app some week ago and it's just amazing!! I can play Street Fighter 2, R-Type, Metal Slug, Riden, and so much other old games!! The server ia unbelievable fast for download and the list of games availables is constantly updating, this app is simply all that what you need if you love gaming and don't like to wait a download of massive sd card data.
Just install the Happy Bay, search for your favorite gamr, download it and that's it! All in less than 5minutes!!! The pad is so easy to configure, the app is simply awesome!!:good:

I wonder how long it will take for google to gank this off the play store, since its essentially a ROM distribution platform with built in emulators.

Who knows cause its all free but if it does the developer of the app has a site for the .apk
Ive been running some test on the overall of the app, for security reason will do a follow up soon

Great! Was looking for something like this. thanks for sharing.

Tried it out, I like it but do not love it, simply because there is is some lag and sound stuttering. I know I should`nt have really high expectations, but personally I would prefer a proper emulator on my phone and know I`m getting the best my phone can provide me.
If I`m making no sense blame my beer lol

Seems ok. If someone knows how to get rid of the on-screen controls let me know.
I've tried a few emulators and this seems like a good way of getting games in one easy-to-choose/play place. I just hope it's safe.
Legal? Who cares? Get it while you can.
