[APP] Scare App | Record your friends freight. Testers needed! - Android Apps and Games

Hi All,
This app allows you scare an unexpected victim and record the “evidence” using the device's front facing camera (if available).
While there are many “scare your friends” prank apps on the market, this is the first that allows the user to record the footage (and share with their friends via facebook and twitter)
I would appreciate if you could test this app, and send any feedback to [email protected]
Attached is the free version APK, but if you would like to try out the pro version, send me an e-mail and I will send it to you.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Looks like a good idea, I'll give it a try.

While I appreciate your effort, I was not frightened in the least. If I could share the capture here I would to prove it.
When I clicked on "play scare" all I got was a blank black screen.
Might work on small children and the elderly though. ;-)

Thanks for the feedback! Sorry it didn't scare you...but then again you knew it was coming, so there wasn't really much shock.
..maybe if you scared an unsuspecting victim, you might get more fun from the app!
As for the black screen, I assume the app detected a front camera and turned record on!?
If you have a chance to have a go again, try playing around with the video record settings (like turning off Custom Record)
The defaults settings work on most devices that i've tried, but not all
Thanks again

Hi Guys,
I've just released a new version of ScareApp to the market (and attached)
Some users have informed me that they are having trouble playing back the recorded video.
Could somebody PLEASE help and test the following...
Using any of the "Scare Options" and recording a scare
1) Does a thumbnail show a frame of the video on the screen after the scare (the one which has HAHAHAHA at the top and the play button(s) at the bottom)
2)on the play screen, does anything show? If not, can you click menu and see the options there, and does clicking on the screen cause anything to happen?
2) check if the video plays when looking at it from the "Saved Scares" menu (top left button on the main menu)
3) check if the video exists on the SD card (should be under [SD]/scareapp/videos) and whether it plays from there
4) check if a recorded video plays with different configuration (try turning ON "custom record settings" and changing the resolution and framerate)
(also, don't forget to note what device you are using!)
If you would like a (licence free) copy of the PRO version of the app, sent me a DM with your e-mail and I will forward it to you.
Thanks in advance...I appreciate the help!!
Regards,
Mark Bond

Show Image when someone is calling

Hi guys,
Is there a good tool which displays a photo of the person calling me. I’ve added many photos to my contacts but when I’m calling them or they’re calling me, only a tiny little thumbnail is displayed. It’s crap. I thought a slightly bigger picture would be awesome. Anyone knows of a good tool for this – minus all the useless stuff. I don’t want any more contact managers etc. Just a simple application would do fine and umm something that goes along with the windows theme. Most apps seem to use their own theme/color schemes making my business phone look like something out a candy store.
Cheerios Guys.

S2ulock?

Umm.
I google for s2ulock but nothing came up. Could you gimme a link, please?
Thanks for the help.
I'd suggest s2u2 (Slide 2 Unlock) It gives you a pic and a number when someone calls.

Text Messenger - The Text Message Away Message

Hey all, I'm new here but was looking for an outlet to announce applications. I have just finished up my first Android App and was hoping for some reviews/comments/suggestions. Criticism Encouraged!
Text Messenger is a simple away message application for your Android phone. There is a full version for $1, and a DEMO version (where you cannot change the default away message) for FREE.
Give it a try, then give it a Buy!
EDIT: updated barcodes to go directly to Android Market, rather than through AndroidZoom.
Just checking in to see if anyone had a chance to review my app, and had any comments/suggestions/criticism?
To make it easier to find I will post some barcodes (DEMO and Full Version) for the apps.
Thanks.

I'll check out the demo version real quick and tell you my thoughts =P

Don't mean to be mean, but don't people take a non-reply to mean that the recipient is away/busy ?
I can't test this because I use gvoice for texting.

That's alright, I know this isn't for everyone. With the current state of texting, especially with the younger crowd, I have seen many instances where people say "What the [email protected]#$ why aren't they texting me back!!!"...I guess this is more for those types.
Also, I find myself in situations where I really should not be reading/responding to text messages but I end up giving in knowing there is a message. With Text Messenger you can set your Away Message and automatically put your phone on silent at the same time. So when I am driving, in class, or anywhere else where I shouldn't be answering a text I do not feel the urge.
Pretty cool - few suggestions
Hey, just checked out the demo version of the app. I'm a brand new Android user. Coming from windows mobile I needed an app like this. Just a few thoughts as to what would make this an even better app. These are just suggestions and ways that I would like to be able to use the app.
1. Allow for profiles to be set up. Such as during certain user defined times, the app automatically sets an away status.
2. Allow for away statuses to be enable for specific contacts, like a black/white list.
3. Set up a quick reply list so I can select from some predefined messages such as "Call if it's an emergency", "In class"...
Keep us updated...
Nice app by the way

Anyways, I attached the apk for the DEMO Version of the app. In this version you can not change the away message, but if you purchase the full version for $1 USD the away message is completely customizable.
Thank you for the interest in my app!

Thanks for trying out my app.
I plan on adding a customizable list of away messages, so you can easily set "In class" etc...look for that update soon.
The Black List & Scheduled away messages are a great idea, although the initial decision creating the app was to make it as simple and quick as possible. Adding these features would be great, but also add more complication. I suppose there is no harm in adding these as optional features though, since if people wanted a quick easy solution they could simply not enable them.
I will keep you updated on the changes coming, look for your #1 to definitely be added with the possibility of #2 and/or #3.
Thanks again for trying my app, and leaving feedback!
P.S. Anyone else that has tried the app it would be great if you could rate it on the Android Market. Only a few people have rated it/commented, and I know many more have given it a try.
I like the demo app. I would like to try the full version but don't see it on the Market. I tried the posted barcode and it never loads the link in the browser.
Thanks,
I downloaded the donation version to be able to say what I want. What an awesome application. I can easily say one of my top 5 most useful. I set it when I'm driving, in a meeting, flying (in the air force) or when I'm busy with a million other things. Here is my list of features I would love to see, forgive me for any duplicates from any other post;
1. A widget! One that when pressed will turn on the auto reply AND have a drop down list of saves/pre-made responses.
2. Option to turn off notification bar icon, I hate that big green booger on my minimalist bar.
3. Option to save messages for future use through a quicky list
4. Option to have messages be contact specific (I would love to see this and would justify a higher price as it would make this an essential app, on par with SetCPU!)
5. Lastly, some notification of auto reply being sent, I'm currently not seeing one on my phone.

I'm using Android 1.6 on my HTC Tattoo. I scanned the barcode but I think i cant find it because my resolution (240 x 320) might not be supported.
I would like to buy the app, but i live in Belgium, and payd apps can not be bought from the market.
I just tried to install the app using the apk-file, but it doesn't works. Can u make a version for 1.6 plz, i really like it.

Thanks for giving it a try. If you press the menu button when in the DEMO Version there should be an option for "More Apps" this will bring you to the Android Market where you can see the FULL Version. I also attached a different barcode, this should link directly to the market rather than through AndroidZoom...let me know if that works for you? Otherwise just search "Robott Creations" or "Text Messenger" on the Android Market.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have heard more than once the need for customizable preset messages & option to turn off the notification "booger". I look to add those features this week. The rest of the suggestions I also agree with, and will hopefully work them in. I was looking to keep the app extremely simple, but the feedback so far has made it sound like the app is "too simple".

I am not too familiar with the Belgium Android Community, but it sounded like you said you are unable to buy any apps? If so, I do not know what I can do about that. But I will look into comparability for Android 1.6.
Thanks everyone, the feedback I have been getting has been excellent. I look to add some of these features shortly and supply you with exactly what you are looking for.
Version 1.5 Released
I read all the suggestions, and am trying to get them in ASAP.
Here are some features to hold you over until the next Update.
New to Version 1.5
------------------
* Custom preset Away Messages
- Easy interaction via Context Menu
* Enable/Disable Notifications
* Text Forwarding (Currently only supports other Phone #s)
* Minor Cosmetic Fixes
More Updates Coming Soon!
I hope the Android 1.6 support will be there soon. Such a lovely app ...

Both depend on the support of the project. Currently I have been hearing good feedback, but the number of downloads does not assure me it would be worth the time of creating an Android 1.6 version and/or porting to Windows Mobile.
I am currently working towards Version 2.0, and after that I will investigate porting and 1.6 support.
Thank you both for showing interest.
Any way of choosing which Apps this works with, as just had it in a weird loop on my facebook status. As I have fb notifacations sent to my mobile via texts, its put all away messages on my facebook, then as I had a new post, got sent a new text, which then triggered another away message...... Turned it off for now, but really good and usefull app, if you can have it only work with chosen apps. Like Handcent only.

[APP] SnapSwap - Android Photoswap clone

Hi all
Im new here so I hope this is posted right. Ive developed an Android app that is similar to the iPhone Photoswap app. For those not aware, Photoswap lets you take a photo and send it to a random person, and you will in return receive a random photo back. You can then take part in picture-conversations with the person who you received a photo from.
Ive had a couple people testing my app and it seems to just about ready (apart from using the default app icon), and I'd like to put it out there for others to start using (and hopefully provide some feedback on ) Im new to android development (although not new to programming itself), and this is my first android app. IMHO it works better than the similar Picswap app that exists already, as this doesnt force-close constantly or throw-out error messages regarding "corrupt" images
I have attached the APK with my post for anyone who wishes to download and install it
There is a known issue with the app at the moment that it does not (at least on HTC devices) delete any photos that you have taken, and they still appear in your Photos app. From what Ive found, using the camera Intent saves 2 copies of the photo to the SD card, and Ive only found one path from the URI to delete (so 1 copy is deleted, but the other remains). These can be deleted from the Photos app still however, but Im looking into how to delete these automatically from the app also.
Edit: The app also starts with a blank screen (no default image yet), just press the menu key to begin
Edit 16th September: New APK uploaded, fixes some threading issues and adds debug log output. Please download and install this as the old one may continue to run in the background and not pause properly when changing apps.
For those having issues, please use aLogCat (from the market) and filter by "SnapSwap" to access the debug log. Please PM me a copy of this along with your phone model and android version and I will look into it Most issues so far seem to be with Cyanogen Mod and Motorola users
hay, i'm one of the beta testers,
and this app is really nice
i hope the optic would be a bit better in the next beta , but it makes fun to "swapping" pictures with other testers !
it is much faster then "a world of photo" it never take longer then 10sec since i get a picture
Really nice and weLL done
Greetings from germany !
Thanks for sharing!
Im going to try make an icon for it soon along with a default image to be shown as well, and adjust the polling time with the server for replies (or even look at adding a push notification system to it)
Just updated the APK in my original post to fix some bugs as at least one user was not being assigned a unique ID properly, updated the server to watch for this also.
For those that have already installed the app, I recommend installing this one over it
If those that have installed it could provide some feedback it would also be greatly appreciated
nice idea i like it , i will share my photo with others sounds good
i will feed u back
I downloaded, installed and when i took a pic it immediately force closed.
Oh great, twenty bucks you get some picture of some dudes junk or some other nasty pic.

There has not been any unwanted material sent via it as yet. Im looking into the best way to ban those that would at the moment. As it is currently though, devices are only identified via a unique ID provided by the server the first time the device accesses it, and this is extremely simple to get around if I were to "block" a device.
To those that have had force-closures: Can you please let me know the following..
1) Do you have an SD Card installed?
2) What device are you using?
3) What version of Android are you running?
Works great for me on Samsung Vibrant. I only get one copy of the pictures (that I take), then of course the temp files SnapSwapImg.jpg (the last pic I took) and SnapSwapImg2.jpg (the last one I received). I totally dig the application! You can reply to pictures (of course, with other pictures), receive replies, and even continue your "pic conversation" with that individual. Yeah, you could end up with a dude's (or chick's, though I doubt there'd be many complaining) junk in exchange for your picture, but putting in any kind of regulation for something like that just ruins the whole point of the application. Can't wait to see this adopted by more people.

Slingbox need specific hardware to work and the app slingplayer cost 21€ on android market.
Tv shows stream lite is free, the full version costs 4.99$ and no special hardware is needed. I whould say its a better deal. Just my opinion.

Fast forwar and Rewing should be working now fine on FROGMOVZ video links.
If any trouble, pause the video before FF or RW.
Please, report if any issue; you can find a support email inside the aplication, in the FAQs section.

Yes, it works outside of the US. If a video is missing it means it got removed from the site it was hosted, try a different one. Also sometimes certain sites have the wrong episode ( lol at Psych).

I emailed the devs last week and offered some suggestions. One of them was to alphabetize the favorites which they said they were working on and would be available on the next release. Along with that was a request to be able to backup those favorites like you can with bookmarks. The last two suggestions that I had were to be able to have the program automatically be able to scan for new shows with notifications and to highlight or indicate in some way in the favorites section that that particular show has a new episode. The last two suggestions are features that can be found in an app that I use frequently called dogcatcher.
Anymore suggestions guys? I know the devs read these so post them here if you have any. I really love this app so I want nothing more than for it to get better and better.

hi,
You are right, we are reading this forum
In next update bookmarkts will be alphabetically ordered. The update has not been released yet because we are finishing a minor fix that is taking more time than expected.
We are also preparing a special surpurise that will come in the next weeks. More info soon.
You can leave here suggestions, be sure that the developers will read it.
Love the app - could you please put the title or episode number of the video somewhere on the cropped screen too? Sometimes when the video stops in the middle one has to search again...
Overall I am very happy with what you guys made :.)
Hi guys,
thanks for updating the app, it's really comfy with the new sorted bookmarks!
but could you please make the announcement for the new film streamer optional, like in with a don't show this again option for the paid app?

Hi everyone.
To keep the Smartwatch Impressions Thread clean of bug-reports for my Apps i wanted to provide a own thread for them.
I just started developing for Android and the Sony Smartwatch because i missed so many functionality on my Smartwatch and the apps where missing in the market.
Some of them are done after people asked they want a app like that. For example the GPS Maps apps and the whatsapp notifier.
So if you miss some app for your smartwatch i might look at it to make it.
So here they are:
the Mail notifier (1.0.2.3):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.imapnotification
is using the javamail library for android. So there might be some bugs in it from me and from the library.
GPS Maps (1.0 Beta):
using OpenStreetMap: http://bytewiese.de/fileadmin/_media/dl/smartwatch/SmartwatchMap.apk
Does show a Map on your smartwatch with your position with the GPS-Data of your Phone
Google Maps App (currently v1.0.9.1) in the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.gpsmap
Calendar Events (1.0.0):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.calendarevents
shows the current/future event of your default calendar and you can swipe to the left/right to see the next or previous Event with time and description.
WhatsApp notifier (2.1 Beta):
http://bytewiese.de/fileadmin/_media/dl/smartwatch/SmartwatchWhatsappNotifier21.apk
shows a notification from the WhatsApp application when it is installed and running with notifications enabled. (still buggy as it looks.)
Calculator (1.0.0.4):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.quickcalc.
Calculator for the smartwatch.
Thanks for all your reportings and ideas and i hope we can continue in this thread.
Great
Kudos for the thread
will continue to support ur app and report my findings
Sorry to trouble u again but could you fixed the Call log Smart Extras™ since it doesnt support ICS thanks again
TIPS: Whatsapp notifier
- If stop giving notification please disable & enable it back on the phone, also opening the app on the phone trough the watch might prevent it to notify again.
Disable & enable it back again
Thanks for your hard work!
Regarding the mail app, the "action toast button" doesn't do anything.
Also if i put my phone in airplane mode at night i get a flood of "failed to connect to server" messages. Would be sweet just to have one error which clears after the connection returns if possible.
Whatsapp notifier, don't use the open on phone option for now as it will stop alerting on new messages.
Seems as though something else stops it notifying time to time but don't know what triggers it. Disabling and enabling app fixes it.
If received two messages and both have been unread, will show an alert saying "2 new messages"rather than the actual messages. Customnotifier does the same thing so there may not be a workaround.
I'm here to continue testing at your will. Your apps will be great to end up on the market.
Cheers

can you please make an alarm clock app? [=
Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but has anyone tried how well the old OpenWatch app fares with the new SmartWatch?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...nwatch&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
It’s the app I used to use to sync with my outstanding MBW-150. It would capture all notifications brilliantly, maybe the code is re-usable.
Just thinking out loud… thanks and regards
Second that

Defiantly would appreciate a way to control the alarm clock.
Can someone port the Sony Pocketstation games? It will be cool....

The GPS google map size
Good morning beowulf, thanks again for the multitude of apps, one question, the GPS google map seems too enlarged on my smartwatch to the point that i almost cannot see the blue triangle which i assume is my location, is there a way to zoom out? thanks

The light version works with the smartwatch as well. I use it all the time. Really slick.
Hi beowulf,
The gps maps app does not work on my sgs2. It only shows a white screen. I only saw the map once for a short moment.
Hi. The loading sometimes takes a bit long.
But you can try the new version of it which will hopefully soon be available from the google market.
It is uploaded and published so look out for it. But i will hint to it as soon as i see it in the market. (I hope i am allowed to post links to my apps in the market)
It will have some new features you will hopefully like.
(You will need to remove the old version manually though)
//edit: ok. Finaly my first app in the android market.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.gpsmap
I think i already found a bug though. It seems as soon as the app is closed and reopened on the watch that there is stil a old picture flickering. Will look at this. I would be happy if you continue to test and report bugs and ideas.
Just downloaded it from the Play Store!
Still not working though. Even the gps does not stop after closing the app.
Congratulations Beowulf6!
Thank you very much for your work.
hi Wop2k,
yes. was the same cause of my problem with the flashing screen.
i hope i finaly fixed it. I already updated the app in the market and i hope it works now for you now without a white screen.
if it is still not working i would like to know your android version.
Thanks.
beowulf6
