Any devs out there that are micro brew fanatics?
More than once I wished Beeradvocate (the defacto standard for beer review websites) had an Android app.
Sure you could always use the website from the standard browser, but the formatting has a lot to be desired. (Tiny links, general page formatting type things).
So anyone out there care to give it a shot?

Thats what I was drinking last night when I though to post this thread..
I'd try my hand at it, I can do a little "programming" in PHP, but I don't know the first thing about coding on Android other than its mostly java..
Just finished searching the market for something that works with beeradvocate. Sipping a nice local ale at the moment and wanted to rate it
Would LOVE this app.
We have CAMRA here (Campaign for Real Ale) and their apps sucks and is overpriced.
My buddy is a beer geek, and a java programmer for a living, wish he were an android guy..
The Beer Expert app uses beer advocate ratings, I believe.
Edit: it uses rate beer. Still a very good app. Definitely worth the price.

Being Irish i love my beer i use the Android Beer Directory app and while this is good it's missing from it's database many many beers those include one of my favourites Cobra beer, can anyone recommend any other similar beer apps, ive searched the market and the Android Beer Directory is the best of a bad bunch when it comes to beer apps.
I would love a BA app!
I do use a little app called Brewster right now to track beers I have had. It does a decent job and seems to have a pretty good number already added that you can rate.
Also has the ability to link with friends and look at beers they have rated.
No substitute, but a decent stopgap
This would be cool. Too many craft beer events in NYC to keep up with. www.theponybar.com
while we're on requests would love to see iStrain app for Android. It has a list and description of cannabis strains.

Hi Everyone,
We just completed our android version of iKamasutra. This is the original app from 2008 that is designed to to inspire couples to try out new positions. As you can tell by the name we originally developed it for iPhone, but are now really making an effort to make it even better for Android.
To reach this goal, we greatly appreciate all types of feedback, from if the name is stupid to have on Android market to new feature requests.
You can find more info about the app at lovekamasutra.com/android and there is also a Lite version that is free to try out. So please let us know what you think!
Where are the differences between lite and paid version?

10,33mb is quite a lot for an application, isnt it? A bit too much for me, so i guess i am restricted to doing the missionary position for the rest of my life....
Sent from my x32 using the licking write method....man I am thirsty now!
Hi, the difference is that the free app has ads and 25 positions to try it out. The full one currently has 106 and will expand.
The size of 10mb could be hefty but we got plenty of custom graphics with audio so it's really hard to make it much smaller. The full app is currently 17mb and we aim to never go past 20mb. Can it become a problem?
For people who cant write the apps back to sd it might be a problem i guess... but maybe i am the only one...

One marketing suggestion would be to change the name. It really irks me when apps have "i" on android.

It really 'irks' me when people make these comments rather than about the app. The name is FINE, stop relating it to Apple.
Nice one, not one for me but i'm sure many will try it
Downloaded the free app and ended up paying for the paid version. It's only a buck after all. Sure looks like I'm going to have to start flexing and hitting the gym more for some of these positions!!
Alright, any more feedback regarding the interface, interaction, or performance is still very welcome! or well, any other comments to you would like to share with us
Thanks!
Not bad, not bad at all. Nice design. Like a funny "tried" button. It is really useful.
Here is the app I have but would like something better.
zombiesaresexy.com/Zombie_Android_App/App_1/zombiesaresexy.apk
So I started a site called zombiesaresexy.com and have wanted an app for it from day one.
The site is built on Wordpress and I just want a simple app that pulls in the RSS feeds and allows people to read the full post from the app.
I have tried App Inventor for Android but have no luck making heads or tails of it.
If anyone would want to help out (make it and share with me how its done) or just has a good framework for something like this that would be great.
Really, I have seen a lot of people wanting there own App this just pulls in the RSS from there site so I am amazed there is not a framework so people can just plug and play.
But any help would be great!
Thanks!
Ok, is there anyone that would build on for money?
I don't mind paying for it and would nit mind having adds in the app so your could make money that way to.
Send me a pm if you want the job and give me a price.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/pulse-news-reader/com.alphonso.pulse
Yeah but I am wanting this app to hand out on my site.
How much you willing to pay?
I dont know the time it would take to do this app.
But if its not to hard I will pay $50
If it is something that will take a lot of time and work We can work on the price.
Also to help me keep the cost down I am willing to have the google ads on it. in hopes that who ever makes the app can make a few bucks that way.
Id be glad to help you for free, XDA isn't about paying for service, its about sharing knowledge and helping users
That would be really cool!!
If you check out the .apk I have linked to, I am ok with it being simple as that.
The only things I rally care about is that it has an icon, the app I have now just uses a slandered android icon
And it reading the full post from the app and linking to the post if they want to comment.
There are a few parts to the site.
Main post
stories
video
questions
But all get pulled in with the rss feed
http://zombiesaresexy.com/feed/
So I am not sure if it is just as easy as pulling in the feeds?
Also, I hope to get this on the Android market but it is just something I want to hand out to readers.

If you want to hire a developer to do it, you're probably looking at $1000 or more in the end. $50 doesn't really cut it.
Yeah I got a few quotes and the range was from $700 to $900.
Not really the money I want to spend just for having fun on a site so I thought I would ask here.
If I dont get any where with it I am ok with that and will looking it to making an app on my own latter down the road when I have time to learn what it takes.
But as you can see someone has offered to make me app. So I am happy with that and even tho he said he did not want money for it I will donate something thing.

Hey guys. I recently reviewed a few tablet specific applications for our tabs. Heres an excerpt from my article. I made a detailed video as well, its at the bottom of this post. If you wanna read the full article, check it out here:
http://www.thegalaxytab.com/2011/03/18/apptab1/
Apps Reviewed:
1) Unofficial BBC News
With all the recent catostrophes occurring around the world, the BBC news team does a great job of keeping me updated. The app is very simple; article snippets appear the left side of the tablet and tapping on it opens the full story on the right. Flash media such as videos and audio recordings are supported an play directly in the app. As I mentioned, the app is simple so don’t expect too much. The only feature missing that I believe should be included is the ability to share a story on twitter or whatever application you want. Hopefully we will see this and additional features added in the near future.
2) GoAruna
The perfect way to explain this app is by asking the question, what would happen if a ES File Explorer & Dropbox decided to have a baby? GoAruna would be the result! GoAruna gives us the best of both worlds. Its a very intuitive file manager with a twist. GoAruna provides you with 2 GB of free online storage and it allows you to upload files from your SD card to the GoAruna servers. Once uploaded, you can send links to your friends so they can download the file and you can access them anywhere using the GoAruna website. One cavet, you need to be online to use the app, period! Even with that little inconvenience, its definitely worth the grab and with the price of FREE, who could resist?
3) Twidroyd
Twidroyd is a twitter application with some pseudo-tablet-like features. The two paneled UI makes it more aesthetically pleasing and actually more efficient Twitter app. Unfortunately with the panels not being re-sizable it just makes makes the experience feel cramped. Nevertheless, for those itching for a tablet-like experience for Twitter, this is as close as it gets.
4) Dual Window Web Browser
Catchy name huh? Joking aside, DWWB (ya that’s right, I acronymed it!) is my favorite application this week. It fulfills my dream of being able to view two websites simultaneously! You can have your email opened on the left side of the screen and be reading an article written by yours truly on the right. Keep in mind that this beta so please do your best to report bugs and issues to the developer rather than leave them a 1-start and a bad review. Even with its current stature, this app is nothing more than just pure, “Winning!”-Charlie Sheen
Video Review:
Alright so I highlighted a few apps here but I go in depth with each on I my very long video. Yes its long, but informative! Check it out after the break:

Sorry, but I've only been speaking English as my primary language for fifty-some years, so can you please explain in simpler terms the meaning of that assessment? Is it good, bad, indifferent, or something else?
Do we want our reviews to be cute, or would it be better to have meaning?

I'm guessing you don't know who Charlie Sheen is. It was meant to add some humor to the post. Nevertheless, the app, in my opinion, has great potential and I enjoy using it. I recommend this to anyone looking to run two websites side by side simultaneously. Hope its clear now.

Thanks. I'm fully aware of who Martin's son is, and the fact that he's all the rage for the press today. But I don't get the reference (don't need to now). Having said that, you probably meant, "nothing less" rather than "nothing more."
I'll check the app out. Sounds interesting, and I'm still looking for a reasonable browser.

Tablified.com - [tab * li * fied] -verb. 1. apps that have been specifically made for Android tablets.
Well, after days of working on the site, its finally here. It's not perfect, but I think android tablet owner are going to enjoy this.
One of the biggest flaws with the Android Market is that there really isn't a dedicated section for tablet apps. Phone apps get thrown in the pile with tablet apps and its just impossible to find tablet SPECIFIC apps.
Many developers say their apps are "optimized" for tablets which, at first sounds great. But sadly, most of the time the app is just adjusted to fit better on a larger screen without adding any new features or tablet specific UI elements.
This is where Tablified.com comes in. Each app is tested to insure that it really is a tablet specific app. While I want to give credit to XDA and the Xoomforums for providing me with a list of apps, I found out that many of those apps aren't really tablet specific. There are currently over 50 apps on the site and more added every day. If you have an app, please use the "Submit an app" link on the site and let me know what the app is; if it meets the requirement, I'll add it to the list.
Tablified.com does NOT allow you to purchase the app. I simply links back to the Android market for you to complete the transaction. What I do is list up as many apps as I can find, after testing each one of course. I am very critical about which apps go up because I want users to only see tablet SPECIFIC apps-that's why games are currently not available. Until I see the same version of "Burn the rope" that's available on the iPad for Android tablets, you won't find it on my list-this goes for many other games.
We have a couple of people working on the site and are recruiting people to help. If you know how to use wordpress and would like to join the team, then please PM me. I apologize if there are any errors on the site. I did my best. If there are any errors, please leave a comment on the app and I will fix it ASAP.
We have big plans coming soon. Can't same much now, but I think its something to look forward to. Sorry for making this so long, but I hope everyone enjoys the site. Ads are there to help pay for the hosting-sorry, no ad-free version
Cool Site.. I love what you are doing with it. I'll be sure to keep this page in mind when browsing. Maybe set up an RSS feed when a new app is added so I can see it on Pulse.

Maybe I'm missing it, but a top downloaded section would be nice, maybe a top downloaded for the week, most popular list, etc. Or exporting the ratings from the market and displaying that.

thanks for your feedback. the only way that i can do a "top downloaded section" would be if people start voting on the site. this is accomplished by simply rating it using the stars icons . if you guys dont rate then i cant display the top rated app/game etc. I had a section for that kinda stuff but because the vote count was low and it didnt look pretty so it didnt seem worthwhile to keep it. so once you guys start voting then i can make a place for it. this is only the first month of the site being released so maybe next month ill put it in. in the mean time, you can scoll to the bottom on the homepage to see the most viewed app.
as for the rating, i dont think theres a way to do that. but each app has a widget at the bottom of the page that has the market link as well as the rating it received on the Android Market. if you guys like the app, simply rate it by pressing the stars just like you would on the official market.
please keep the suggestions coming.
WOW!!! Thanks s for creating this very cool site!
However, I miss "Locus""
Altough bookmarked your site!

Although Lotus looks ok on tablets, its not a tablet specific nor tablet optimized app. You can find more detail about the requirements on the FAQ section.

Can't find any decent gallery app, anyone seen any with super fancy effects similar to the honeycomb Youtube app?
Its not tablets its Honeycomb
I was excited when I saw a posting about this thread until I actually went to the site. It really isn't a site listing apps designed for the larger, landscape real estate of a tablet but actually a site listing apps that are fully integrated for Android 3.0+ (Honeycomb) instead. There are plenty of tablets that run Android 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 like the one I'm typing on right now. I would appreciate apps that are designed for a tablet as much as the nearest Xoom user.
Quite the disappointment :-(
Hi guys.
A lot of developers that create some apps are having a problem of advertising them and getting feedback from users (me included). So I think we should help each other by installing, testing, rating and reviewing each other's apps. So any one of you who have their app (with small number of downloads) post it here (google play link) and I will try it and publish a rating and a comment on Google Play.
I don't ask you to do the same and I will do it whether you try my application or not. If you do the same I will be very grateful.
Link to my app: Quote Box v1.1
Thank you.
P.S. You'll get your rating and review as soon as I see it here.
I've released my first app on the market called Select Who? It's an alternative to who draws the shortest straw, coin toss, rolling the dice and spin the bottle.
Everybody puts their finger on the screen and the app will then select one of these at random.
I apologise ahead of time about the adverts I know they are a bit intrusive, I'm trying to think of an alternative.
I would love to get some honest feedback from you about it and any improvements I can make.
Select Who?
I think this thread is a great idea.
I actually run an Android YouTube channel and blog site.
Although i might not be interested in every app idea that may come to this thread, i am more than willing to look at every app and possibly do a great review on it on my channel and site.
In fact i have developers email me all the time to review their apps.
Mostly because it has increased download numbers and a few have reported up to 40% increases in sales the day i post my reviews =)
But i am pretty particular about the app's that i review for my viewers. So don't be offended if i don't review your app =)
You can either email me at [email protected], send me a PM here on XDA or PM me on YouTube.
Good luck to all the dev's =)

Hey, I tried your app.
This is what I wrote: "It's very good idea but It only works for two finger for me. Fix that and I will give 5 stars."
Also maybe to work a little bit on a layout to attract more people, but if you fix "the fingers thing" I will give you 5 stars. Only two fingers recognized on my HTC Desire.
