can u refriase that? im confused about what you just said.
I wish I could get these free apps. Why's it limited to U.S?
They are working with the devs of the apps to advertise them for a short while to increase traffic. Once that time frame is up more ppl will know about the app and can then generate more revenue for the developers.

thats what i wanted to know
From what i heard they still give the dev 20% of the cost of the app for every free app. i.e. a $.99 goes free amazon gives dev $.20ish. so the dev's still get a little bit
Are the apps they give away decent or upgradable through the market?
So far I got doodle jump free , shazan encore(4.99) free, dinner dash free , .farm frenzy for free. Not bad. They free and this are good apps .

These apps require you to keep the Amazon app store installed on your device. If you remove Amazon app store the apps you downloaded will no longer work.
I do not know about paid apps but the free ones that are showcased daily will not work if you remove the Amazon app store.
Do you have to put a credit card number to even download a app????

yea you do or u can use amazon giftcard
you must first setup an amazon account using a credit card or paypal. when you install the amazon android store app, it syncs with your amazon account, so you don't store your credit card # or paypal info on your phone
In case anyone wants to keep track...
In case anyone wants to keep track, I put a copy of all the free apps here:

What would happen to the apps if you were to wipe with a ROM change?
Use Titanium backup and restore back.

Oh snap, I did not know that. Good thing I read this before I wiped my phone without any worry of losing anything. I'll have to do a Backup now. Thanks!
your apps are updateable, for free. lol. and since your account is set up with your amazon acct you can wipe and change roms a million times, as soon as you put the app store back on your phone and sign in with your account you can redownload your apps back again, still free.

So I paid for the app among how many thousands of other ppl and Microsoft decides it wont allow 3rd party apps to gain access to an account that we the gamer/consumer pay for and google does nothing but pull the app or apps from the market and issues no refunds what the heck is that about ...its not about the money its about the poor business practices and the lack of protection of the consumer

I use an app called XBOX Live Statistics. It's nice because I can see if my friends are online or not, and I can send them XBL messages from my phone. It's a little slow, but worth the load time.
Its the fact all of us who paid for an app can now no longer use it and we got no refund from the dev or google but everyone will cry like babies about pirated software and protecting their work well im saying what's protecting our (the consumer) money.

I have paid for both apps and now I wont get updates to any of them... Nor will I get a refund for either of them. I dunno who I am displeased with more Microsoft, Google, or the app Devs
I also payed for this app... I got a bit pissed off when I noticed it wasn't available anymore

Absolutely not the devs or Google. Microsoft is at fault here. They disabled access and there was nothing anyone could do about it. Google could have given you the money back but you shouldn't be mad at them.

I didn't even know about this. I have xbox live statistics. Is the app no longer working? I haven't checked it in a day or so, but have a widget that treks me if I have any messages or how many of my friends are online. This is a real bummer and I hope the consumers show enough outrage that they allow access once again. This affecting other mobile platforms as well?

Yup that's exactly why these apps are useful. No need to keep booting up the Xbox or load the bloated website.
Removing access is not cool at all.
Buy a ps4 like iam going to I was a big xbox fan and I still like my 360 and xbox1 but after 4 POS 360s I will not buy the next xbox! And I did not buy win7 becuz M$ riped us 360 owners off with defetive ****y hardware! M$ really Sucks it all started after Bill gates left

They only pulled it because it cost money. Had it been free it would have stayed. That's their policy on the iPhone app store thus I assume the same thing here

Just downloaded this jar, it wasn't in my market, booted up and took a moment to load but..... Working Fine, Great game...
if anyone is having problems with loading, if it freezes just hit the home button and open it again, works flawlessly after that, great game thanks for finding it!!!
yeah the loading is weird but it still works.
Anyone notice that it needs access to your contacts personal info? Im kind of iffy on installing it.
So I was looking though the amazon app store, trying to see if the new free paid app of the day was posted, and I noticed cut the rope was the number one downloaded paid app which is silly because its free on getjar. I decided to look through the comments on it to see what the suckers where saying and one of the first comments was about the infuse. Which one of you actually paid for this? Fess up!

Not me but I can't blame someone for supporting them
yeah but the amazon market is annoying to use and the only reasons i can think of to use it, is for its free paid for app of the day and getting apps for cheaper than the android market. if your looking for a good deal, you can get it for free on getjar, if your looking for the easiest install and supporting the dev, google market. someone was just being a sucker.
Nice thanks!
The new market is showing Apps as "installed" that were downloaded via amazon, you can also update!
Edit: only free apps* paid Apps you are asked to purchase, but are still shown as installed

I agree, a simple fact like this could have been started in the first thread and it wouldn't if been over shadowed.
I purchased "apparatus" in the Amazon app store and it is no longer available. Android market is telling me an update is available, and then I'm asked to purchase the app.... Contact the dev?

I believe that if it is a purchased app from amazon (even one of the free apps of the day) you can only update it in the amazon market, not the android market.

Why would an app cost $$$ on the Amazon AppStore but be free in the Android Market..? Sounds like you are installing "lite" or ad versions.
Amazon app store has it free today...just saying ($14.99 regular price)

Amazon App Store
From the Android Market, install the Amazon appstore app. Go to Amazon.com on your computer, sign in to your Amazon account, and link a credit card to your account. (Amazon wants you to do this so you could buy apps from their appstore). Turn on One-Click for your account. Then launch the Amazon appstore app on your phone and sign in. You should be able to download free apps.

The Amazon App Store is only available from Amazon's web site as far as I know. They have a QR code for it and it sideloads.
You can go to amazon.com, go to the apps for android section, put in your phone number and it'll txt you with the download as well. Also to install it you'll need to go into settings>applications and allow unknown sources.

Not only that, most apps purchased verify your account when you launch them, so if it doesn't see it in your appstore it won't launch.
Not free anymore so thread closed...

I can confirm that, it's there. But for the best use, consider buying it, it's worth every penny.
If you still want the full version but dont want to buy it i would suggest getting the app 4shared it alows you to get apps but its not a blackmarket and u can get it off of google play

You may try to install the apk or buy the pro version (if you are seeing it).
Try to do a factory reset of your cellphone and then look out again for TB.
This happened to people on ICS on the HTC Glacier. Just select the pro version, go to the bottom and press the free one. Or google the apk.

I you like an app, you should buy it. Titanium Backup is worth every euro.
