Hey guys,
Just wanted to drop by this forum and have a little discussion.
I won a $25 Google Play credit through a Samsung contest, and I was extremely excited to reveive it yesterday.
I immediately went onto the app store and searched for some good games and apps to purchase.
I've been searching for a full day now and honestly haven't made a single purchase. :crying:
I already own great games like Dead Trigger, Shadowgun, FPSe, Final Fantasy III, Dead Space, MC3, DH2.. and apps like Superuser Elite, SetCPU, and Alarm Clock by doubletwist.
I can't seem to find ANYTHING on the Play Store that is striking my interest, but I know that there are some really useful paid apps out there.
So I propose this question. What would YOU buy with $25 in Google Play credit?
I would get a Nexus 7 and get some money off it
Buy power amp...... Titanium backup pro.... It's probably the best paid app on Google Play

I use google music to play my audio because my storage is limited on my One X. Also, I have Backdrop pro which backs up my apps and such to my 30 Gb dropbox.
I have too many games!

I second this!
Rom Toolbox Pro
USB/BT Joystick Center (if you like gaming on Android with a controller)
Audio Evolution
Dink Smallwood (old but great)
4EXT Recovery Control (if you use a 4EXT recovery)

I agree, PowerAmp and Titanium Backup Pro...I'd also get "Wheres My Droid" so that you can find the Nexus 7 you'll buy with what is left
Everybody saying buy a nexus 7, are they really that cheap? You really believe he's going to buy an android tablet with $25 of Google credits?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
250 dollars isn't it? 25 dollars off that and it's even more amazingly cheap every little helps
For me.. I would probably learn some coding and use that $25 to open an account in play store and sell apps
but..
Titanium Backup Pro
Rom toolbox

Do you have to pay to open an account as a developer on the play store?

Haha, I actually have already and I have seven apps on the market. Just some work I did for some bloggers that never paid off.
Seems a lot of people are posting Titanium Backup. Don't have much of a use for it with Backdrop. I like the post about the joystick app. I need to buy me a Six Axis!

$25 is enough for paying fee for Developer Signup in Google Play, u can start selling your apps in the play store to gain more money
Already got the dev account. Have a couple apps up there but nothing that anyone would want to download.
My marketing technique is horrible.

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.
is free tb gone?? cause its not showing up in the app store?? this sucks!!! i dont have the 7$ bucks rite now to buy it
It is still there

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.
What apps made you burst out finding that it was totally unworthy buying it from Google Play?
Apps that are totally unworthy of the price or apps that are total crap!
Apps that won't do the task that was mentioned in the description "purchase to get additional features"

I picked up Chameleon Launcher for my tablet at a $3.99 price tag. It's a cool idea but terrible implementation imo.
Sometimes I wish the refund policy was just a little bit longer than 15 minutes.

Asphalt 7, never worked on my htc sensation for no reason at all. No answer by gameloft on this "black screen" bug
VLC Streamer, literally 5 months after buying it, they stopped development on that specific APK name (renamed display name with "(old)" on the end), relaunched it under a different APK name (same display name as original in the store), and want more money now for 'new' verison which is just a rework and upgrade. GRRR, NO DOUBLE DIPPING DIRTBAGS!

Same here. Used to always purchase horrible horrible apps from the Apple App Store. Worst one I remember was when I first got an ipad and purchased Weather HD because it had high reviews. Turned out to be the most useless app. All it did was display four or so generic live images for weather standard weather conditions. Would have refunded it if I could have.

I'm not sure why people are bragging that they don't buy apps. Are you telling me there aren't a few apps that you use that are worth the $0.99 that it costs to buy most of them? You are getting days or weeks of hard work for pennies. This is exactly why a lot of devs code for the iPhone and refuse to port to Android!
Anyway, Audio Manager Pro is my biggest waste of money. It used to work, but now it randomly resets the volume levels on reboot.

The hard work of many developers is worth buying. Some apps are so great and devs offer it for a very low price.
But there are some crap apps too! Sold at higher price and worthless.

So just out of curiosity, what's everyone using there $25 promo on in the app store? I honestly can't think of anything I want that I already don't have. But share away anyway!
For those who don't know what I'm talking about: http://www.samsung.com/us/register-for-your-galaxy-note-8-perks/
I bought SketchBook Pro and Camscanner. If you have the slightest interest in drawing, I highly recommend Sketchbook, it is really fun to use. I also bought Swiftkey for my phone, something I had been meaning to do. I am interested in good productivity apps if anyone has a good suggestion.
I bought Swype and Multiwindow Pro. I purchased the majority of the apps I wanted or needed with the Nexus 7 credit last fall. I might buy the HD version of camscanner.
I definitely recommend getting OfficeSuite Pro and a good reading app. I purchased MoonReader for entertainment reading and ezPDF for classes. I print out my slides as a PDF for class then annotate it using ezPDF.

ill buy Swype. I havent thought anything else. maybe Falcon Pro. since I been hearing good things about it
Assuming I can transfer my apps from my old device (this will only be my second android device), then the only thing that i'd really like is a good office suite.
I have Office Suite Pro and Polaris Office on my Transformer. Not used either extensively though and neither get the best of reviews.
Quick Office Pro is meant to be good though.
I have no idea. I got $25 twice on my Nexus 7...no idea why, but I didn't look a gift horse in the mouth. I still have like $26 of that $50 left and now I got another $25. I imagine I will eventually use it all, but I don't need a thing at the moment.
Woo! Samsung finally gave me my $25! Had to talk to them on Facebook and they finally gave me the code.
