[GUIDE] Android App List: What would John Install? - Android Apps and Games

Hey Everyone,
I've been curating a list for my own benefit and it's slowly grown bigger and bigger. So, I formatted it for general consumption and am updating it semi-regularly. Please take a look and let me know what you think. I'm only putting up apps that I feel are worth the time, so please suggest apps that you love and I'll add em in.
Thanks for your time, and hopefully I can save you some free time at the expense of mine

Also, if you have a review; please message me or email me and I'll add it. I will give credit to the submitter in the final column in gold. Thanks again!

Updated with better formatting
Hey Everyone,
I update the Android App List with phone-clickable-links that go directly to the play store when you press them, and better formatting for all devices. Let me know what you think. I updated the link in the OP.

[WIDGET] Prepay Widget - we need testers!

Hello everyone! I am the developer of Prepay Widget, a powerful app that allows you to monitor your account balance through USSD requests.
You can find more info about USSD on Wikipedia, but basically these are short, SMS-like messages used by most GSM and some CDMA providers to deliver information
or control account services. The actual information comes to you in the form of popup toasts, which thids app hides and parses into widgets.
You can find the apps landing page on XDA at the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12348102
However, i want to stress that its important that we get some device-specific feedback, so please post in this thread if you have issues,
this helps me keep track of bugs and requests better.
You can use the Lite version of the app - it has all the functionality of the full version apart from automatic updates (not really that important imo).
As I haven't got one of these phones in my pocket, I need some testers to track down problems. Please, use this thread to comment or
suggest features. It is my belief that addressing issues is best done individually by phone, so if something doesn't work, let me know and I will fix it ASAP.

Debugging:
Please use the "Write to developer" item in the Settings menu to send logs. Enable debugging, reproduce your error and then send the logs.
Make sure you include a description - the more detailed the description the better.
Screens:
i got it but don't know the USSD code for orange uk. Can anyone shed some light here?
I think google is probably your friend there...
App is now in Top New Paid on the market
This is AWESOME! Thanks a lot, ive been using an inferior widget for years!
nice widget ,thank you for sharing
Enjoy! And please leave a comment on the market - it can be a great help!
Ok, after testing i will leave a comment
This app is the best by miles
Thank you!
Works perfectly fine with 2 degrees over here in NZ. Best buck ever spent.
Thanks!
Thanks, please leave a review on the market!
By the way, a major update is currently in testing with lots of cool UI changes.

Brilliant!
Check the main thread for screens of the new ui!
Guys its critical that i get some device-specific feedback for version 1.1.2 that came out today.
Please, be nice XDA members and help!
Please help me debug the latest version! I need some feedback on updates in particular!
How is it working?
1.1.3
- New USSD intercept mechanism (beta)
- Update status animations added
- Log graphivs changed
- Rare device specific errors fixed
- Some update bugs fixed
Lets get some feedback please!
I use the free version, and I am having problems with it since the update. I tap to update the widget (or press update in the app) and it seems to get stuck updating. The spinning icon animation appears and doesn't stop or go away for ages, seems like its been spinning for half the day now. Several USSD code running and done messages popup seemingly at random once updating begins.
The update has not gone well for me it seems on my Desire S with stock rom.
I'm going clear out my old ussd entries and widgets and start again, see if that helps.
**Update** cleared out my ussds and widgets and reinstalled the app. seems to be working properly now. Looks like a few ppl have had this issue judging by the market comments and doing a clean install seems to prevent them.
Guys ive already made a bugfix, but there is some sort of problem with the markets dashboard, cant seem to be able to publish anything right now! Please check tomorrow morning!

[Q] Does anyone want me to publish their games or applications on the Android market.

Hi does anyone want me to publish their application(s) or game(s) on the Android market please note though I can only set their price to free, if you have any send me an e-mail explaining the app and why you want it published send that with a few icons (one that's 512x512 at least) and I'll test the game(s) or app(s) and publish them free of charge... but only if I'm satisfied
Please consider this offer.
Edit: oh sorry I forgot to add my email it's [email protected]
I can't think of any scenario except when the app is malware, where a developer would want to do this.
if someone went through the hard work of developing an app or game, why wouldn't they just post it on the market themselves instead of having you as the middle man?
I am uncomfortable with this suggestion and the possible ramifications with regards to fraud, malware, taking credit for other peoples work etc.
I am closing this thread for this very reason, OP, please feel free to contact me should you wish to discuss this further.
Tim.

Looking for Android Beta Testers - Please Participate!

Hello everybody and thank you for your interest in Beta testing my Android application. My app is called PulseLA and I am attempting to create a social media application that ranks people, food, movies, cars, etc…. for people to share what they love, hate, and always wanted to do… I have not tested this application on many devices and for some this app is getting (sort of smooth) and for others it’s a total disaster! I was hoping to get maybe a group of interested individuals to join my beta team for PulseLA. You do not need to reside in California or Los Angeles to use this app. But I do have more data centralized in L.A. in opposition to the rest of the United States.
Please contact me via E-mail or through this forum and I will send you an APK for install. I would greatly appreciate all comments, suggestions, and questions for further clarification and analysis.
My E-mail – [email protected]
Facebook Fanpage - http://www.facebook.com/PulseCaster
This app is currently on iPhone if you have two phones or an itouch and would like to see a live alpha version of my app. Please search for “PulseLA”. I have not done SEO modifications so you must spell “PulseLA” exact without spaces or you can do a search for “Pulsecaster”.
Thank you everybody!
Here is a direct link to download PulseLA
Thanks for the initial help. I have gone back to development! I will post back a link in the future.
If anybody is curious about how development is going then feel free to PM me or E-mail me. [email protected]
ehm, can i test this ?
got a tab to try it out on
Hi will try it
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Thanks. Sent Pm's with a link to download PulseLA.
If it will be easier I can send it to your e-mail so you can access the APK directly on your Phone/Tablet.
I'll test this out.

Installing now on my AT&T One X
EDIT:
Getting a white screen, when clicking on other tabs the loading animation plays but nothing happens. Clicking camera tab brings up 'create account' page. Notice a flashing 'camera roll' screen before creating account shows. Very iPhone-ish. Star = Favs? Finally loaded. Most of the other tabs don't. Just a lil advise, try to make the app as Android-ish as possible. A lot people hate, hate, hate direct iPhone ports to Android. At least have some sort of ICS elements in it.
P.S. Didnt sign-up.
This is actually the build for android and was not meant to be iPhone ish =[ However, we do need to go back in and redesign the app for better interface. Are there any apps that you think would be a good idea for me to look at to get a better idea of Android interfaces?
In the future the first tab which is feed will not be clickable as it is based on followers. Because you did not sign up for an account it will obviously be empty =] Upon signing up for an account you will randomly follow 5 people.
Loading the Star the first time is very slow. It will go faster on a wifi connection.
The star is a global ranking based on the top categories. If you were to click the Camera button then you could add things your opinion on just about anything based on the categories. *Note these are not working perfect and search is almost useless at this point. So you should be able to look up under category (things) movies, phones, brand names, food, etc...
So far thank you all for initial testing. What I really need some feedback on is whether or not facebook connect works as I've had a lot of problems at this front. Also if you are able to submit a camera pulse (In the app Camera Tab -> Use Camera) as some devices this crashes the app.

[4.1+] Writeily Pro: Markdown Text Editor

Hey XDA,
Longtime lurker, but first time poster here. I just launched my new app, Writeily Pro, this past weekend, and I'd love it if you guys checked it out and gave me some feedback .
Here's the Play Store link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.writeily.pro
If you like it, I'd also appreciate the rating to help give the app exposure! Also, the app is open sourced on GitHub here:
https://github.com/jffrymrtn/writeily-pro
And last but not least, I intended originally to charge for the app and make it paid. But a lot of my past Writeily (the original one) users said they'd rather it be free, while some said they'd donate if they could. So, I set up a separate "donate" version of the app, which is identical to Writeily Pro (except it's red). I just thought I'd put it out here since I don't have a link to Donate in the app yet, so if any of you would like to help out, here it is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.writeily.donate
Let me know how it is! Thanks XDA
This is really neat, thanks! As much as I love Markdown, I'm wondering if adding other markup languages is planned (it might be out of scope if you consider Writeily a Markdown only app), such as reStructredText, which I find better than Markdown for longer documents?
The PIN setup needs improvement. No double entry to prevent typos?
When unlocking there is no mechanism to undo wrong entry. The only way is to hit enter and re try.
No scroll capability. Once the screen is full, it does not scroll up. Can't see what I typed!
Getting the same issue with the document not scrolling here. Don't get it on the non-pro version so perhaps it's something to do with the extra keyboard row.
It's a nice looking clean material app but would need Dropbox integration if it's going to make me switch from Draft which is my current editor.
Look forward to see where you go with it.

Thanks, but I'm talking about markup languages, not "spoken" languages.
Are you considering adding tags functionality? and filter with tags?
Thanks
it will be nice to make it that you can write note with stylus pen behind keyboard..
Writeily
just wanted to say thanks for the app & the hard work. I'm giving it a try. The reviews are great & can't wait to try it!

Thanks.
With tags, I could forget folders, or having to write a note in a specific folder or having to change it to a different one... I could even have two notes, with some tags in common and others not (impossible with folders).
Also, is it possible to do a bulk import/export and not just one txt file at a time?
Finally, about the added keyboard row (nice): it would be great if it were optional or hidden/unhiden with a swipe (it can take a lot of space on smaller screens, and sometimes you just don't really need it).
The preview function is awesome. Thanks for your app and work!
nice app,worth a try
thanks,
New update. Now I can scroll. Can I have the files sort by name? Please? Thank you
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
I have enjoyed using this app for many months, but was disheartened to see development discontinued. The timing is awkward: I just opened a GitHub account with intent to fork it once I learn my way around. On my hard drive, I've added many of the extra features I've long been waiting for: Tables, highlighting, LaTeX Math through MathJax, etc. But I'm not yet confident that I can use GitHub proficiently, since I've only signed up an account just a week ago.
Any suggestions how I should begin rebooting its development?
