Hi everyone!
A few months ago I reached out online looking for a chance to get into Android design, and met a fellow online who had a simple app idea he was working on.
We began our work, and after a few weeks I'm finally able to post here for once instead of just browsing!

MARKET DESCRIPTION:
Don't be an Awkward Turtle.
Have you ever found yourself in a conversation without any idea what to say next? Then Awkward Turtle is the thing for you! Awkward turtle is a free app that will supply you with one of over 150 random facts to get that conversation right back on its feet.
Awkward Turtle has a multitude of facts ranging from the interesting - "Facebook has increased it's revenue by 2400% in the past five years", the thought provoking - "A compressed spring weighs more than a relaxed spring", and also the down right weird - "A donkey will sink in quicksand but a mule won't".
MARKET LINK:
https://market.android.com/details?id=awkwardturtle.frostapplications
This is our first app, so please give it a try and perhaps a market rating on your honest impressions with our effort. We spent a lot of time trying to polish it, and plan on adding new features and content in the coming weeks.
We're also coming across some issues where certain phones should work but don't. It seems to be a market issue, so if you come across such a thing please let us know, or if you're also a developer who has come across something like this your advice would be appreciated. For some reason people find their phone incompatible, yet installing the .apk directly works.
Thanks for taking a look, and I hope you our app can entertain you even just for a few minutes.
Funny app
Great job.

Thanks for the post! I've also been waiting a long time for this.
works great.
Like the note said, it needs to be placed on a dark surface, that was my problem apparently. First try on my dark bed sheet and it worked vs my light-ish brown counter-top.
Yeah took a few tries for the check deposit to work. I had to get the check on a black background too, and make sure the edges are visible in the picture. I was positioning so the check edges were right on the border and it wouldn't work until I moved back a bit.
sweet! installing now
App was a breeze to get it up and running on my TMO-US HD2 Android baby
This is awesome, thank you for posting it.
I have been waiting for this app ever since it came out on the iPhone. Of course now I have no checks to test out the app with!
Thanks for the heads up! I had there original app on my G1 and then they discontinued it so I've had to suffice with SMS account activity and a bookmark.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
This app is the first one I have been able to actually make myself and make it do something. I did this through App Inventor.
It's a terrible app really, but I just figured maybe the community might think it as a funny one
I call it a TrollApp, but there's nothing NSFW or bad about it.
I am just really happy to actually have made my own app (mo-betta appz to come!)
Pet Ze' Keety!

Oh, and since this app is so simple, if anyone would like I would be more than happy to post the source code. The whole thing consists of 3 mp3 files, and 3 pictures. Two timers (clocks in app inventor) are used and.... That's about it. But I am definitely going to be doing more with this!
Good luck to you. And at least you can say, you have made an App!
Everyone starts by learning the Basics first.
Regards and well done.
Thank you for the kind words. TBH can't say I haven't tried before..
I have been wanting to program for Android for quite some time now. I cant even really count how many times I have successfully set up Eclipse and ADK and even ran through the demos quite a bit as well, but I have never actually been able to successfully go it on my own.
Some people would say I copped out with using app inventor (it is actually MUCH easier to work with) however as a negative side note, that's also why this simple app is 2.5mb instead of what it should be for what it is (about 900k). Could be the media involved though.
I have made roms, scripts, and everything else but finally I have made a program
I've been trying to think of a decent idea for an Android app that would actually help people for a while now, and finally thought of something worthwhile a week ago. I learned the Android SDK while making this, but still tried to make it as polished as possible.
FlickHopper is the outcome. It's an app for people that go to movie theaters and watch multiple movies in a row. You select your theater, check which movies you want to see, and a "timeline" schedule is created so you can easily see which times will work best for you.
Please download from the Market and post your critiques/suggestions here!

Provide a link for people to download the .apk that doesn't require the Market. Not everyone has access to it all the time. Just a thought.
One interesting alternative use for this could be for parents looking to find the best time to see two movies at the same time, or near two it. For example, Mom & Dad want to see Chronicle but pre-teen kids want to see Journey. This app would let you easily see when the best time it would be so that the parents could see one movie and the kids another at the same time.

I opened it on a phone so I will comment only on the mobile interface. Probably all points would be the same for the desktop version as well.
1. Drop Times New Roman font from the links. You look like a cheap Chinese package. Try using only two different fonts throughout the website. At the moment you have 3-4.
2. Your logo is retro, in a bad way. That fort is suitable more to a Charleston dance school than an IT website.
3. With your own domain why not have a personalised email as well. [email protected] is really unprofessional.
4. The name irresistibly reminds me of the GSMarena. Why do you think you will survive in the shadow of that website and at least 3 others that offer exactly the same thing/product? What makes you different?
5. Those news that I've opened, it was fun reading them.
I got bored one fine day and decided to create a hidden book case for the HP touchpad, which I bought ages ago like so many others at the firesale prices.

I followed directions on how to do this here: https://heatherrivers.com/how-to-hollow-out-a-book
It took a little running around, getting an appropriately sized book, gathering the glue, clamping everything together, cutting out the center, sizing everything properly, and so on.
The result speaks for itself. I got a lot of compliments for it, however, and I suppose that makes it worth it.
I don’t really use it anymore, since the touchpad now resides on the touchstone, and is used for occasional news browsing and primarily as an active photo frame, randomly displaying assorted images I’ve loaded onto it.
As an amusing aside, I let the nieces borrow this along with the touchpad for a while, and a friend of the sister-in-law’s dropped by their place, where she was initially thrilled to see the book itself, being a big fan of Fleetwood Mac. Her pleasure upon finding a good book about her favorite band turned rapidly to surprise and ultimately dismay upon seeing that the center of this book was hollowed out to receive a tablet computer. :crying: (*Sad trombone sound*)
So what are your thoughts on this nifty little item?
I'm not using this anymore, does anyone here want to buy this?
(My touchpad largely resides now on the touchstone as a animated picture frame)
