Where can I promote my FREE app? - General Questions and Answers

There is a forum named as Paid Software Announcement and Discussion. I want to know whether there is a similar forum for me to promote my FREE app so that more people know it. Thanks.

Here you go. The Android Apps and Games forum.

You could always advertise it through social network sites aswell. That way a lot more people will be able to see it.

You can also search other forums and android sites
Posting new threads with your app won't guarantee it will be popular, but at least you can say, that you did all what can.
If you need some www adresses pm me, I'll send you what I got. ("new" [2 years -.-] users can't post links until 10 posts).

Not on XDA.
As you have found out, XDA doesn't tolerate warez or warez requests, so please don't ask for warez anywhere on the site.
Please read the forum rules at http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=530 before posting, as I notice you are new to xda, and think about the ethics of asking for free access to something which has cost lots of money to develop.
You want them? Buy them.
Most of them are crap anyway.

.... and just a little addition regarding the ethics,... the reason we are so anti warez here is simply that if we as consumers do not purchase software and games legitimately, hard working developers (more so the independent ones) could simply decide to pack it all in,... We'd be truly stuffed then.

alternative to XDA?

are there any decent alternatives that people frequent?
none commercial ones.
Modaco
I think Modaco is a nice site !
Android forums is a good site

Depends on what you are looking for. The appeal of our site is the fact that it holds a VAST amount of information generated for almost 10 years since the early days of PocketPC2000. You don't need to post or even be part of any community in particular to rip the full benefits that the site has to offer. I see that you have been a member for a very long time and I can somewhat understand where your post is going (the implied message). The commercial aspect of the site revolves around the banners which we try to keep to a minimum but to have enough to pay for our costs, which are rather high.
The sites suggested by other people in this thread are indeed good, but again, each site appeals to a specific audience. XDA presents a wider scope than most sites out there.
I hope this helps.
Uhmm...now that i think about, there is this site that should be handy

This is true. I've been to PPCGeeks and MoDaCo, but they kinda fizzled out. In a way, XDA DEVELOPERS has "adopted" their old members.

lol, did crack me up..
The ads are not what influenced my question i use an ad blocker on chrome and can honestly say ive not seen an add on xda thanks to that. What I meant was a forum not attached financially to a store/shop.
XDA is huge and ive been visiting this site for many a moon but I also want to explore other sites and see what else is around as well..
hidden gems and the likes.
.
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
sorry forgot XDA had turned a little unfriendly ill make sure i don't post again
it's kinda why i posted the in the general section as yes technically it was a question was also a general thing but once again the hand of pointless takes control. stick it!

Yes. Everything is an issue anymore. Can't even create a device forum easily anymore. It's gotta be "popular enough". Ugh. XDA developers stopped being a Dev site a while ago. It's why I don't Dev here anymore.

no access to marketplace

Hi, I'm not new to these forums, but i do not do much posting here. I have a phone i'd like to sell/trade, but i can't access the marketplace. any help? this will only be my 4th post. should i just go post until i reach 10? i just didn't want to spam the forums to get my post count up
The XDA-Developers.com Marketplace, also known as MP, is provided free to members with at least 50 posts and one year of XDA membership. From here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=256
So you'll need to post a lot more

That's frustrating. I've only been a member for 8 months, I loitered for months before that reading posts in the Desire S forums
Guess I'll find another way to sell my One X.
Would not matter if you meet the requirement, read the Market rules regarding closure:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=256
And no need to post more to increase you count....again read the closure dates on the rules.
Won't matter really as the marketplace is being shut down at the end of the month

Possible solution to non dev posts in dev threads

Would there be any way to have a special membership level in the forum privileges that allows posting in the dev forums, this would force people I.E. general users with questions to read and discover the Q&A forums. To get said privileges someone should simply have to request and agree not to break those rules. Good idea?

No. Bad idea.
The Dev forums should be locked to anyone who doesn't have special status on XDA (e.g. Devs, RCs, RTs etc). For a 'normal' user to be able to post in the Dev forum they should have to be invited and approved by the Devs - and that right could be rescinded at any time.
That would have the secondary benefit of stopping the people who continually post useless cr4p just to get their post count up to 10

I agree... To a point, the problem is to get RD ir RC you have to post guides or dev work... Which normally should go in the development section.
It really is a hard one and nothing will ever please all

I'm not so sure that an invite system would be neccesary... just have a simple I agree site that gives access to the dev forums and the halfwits who go through that just to post where they shouldn't could then be banned and do everyone in these forums a favor!

Umm, if you would propose that everyone who doesnt post in the correct section should be banned, then OP, you are kinda
stepping on your own feet...
As this thread belongs in About XDA...
As stated before, there doesn't seem to be a "one rule pleases all" compromise...

Well, for RC, you don't *necessarily* need to create threads, and that too, in the dev section...
Afaik, guides belong to the general section, but there are also accepted in the dev section if it is directly related to development, or is there to prevent non-dev posts in dev area...

Yeah I can appreciate your sentiment but it's not a workable solution. Honestly I don't even think there's a problem, the mods are on their game and the 10 post rule helped weed out some people.

Actually, there must be something to keep them out of OT too, as n00bs come there frequently to increase their post count. I told two of them off today and I got ripped off for being a "party pooper". Sometimes, I wonder why I even bother.

I just think if its important enough to keep the dev posts clean that they will lock them and then we get all the posts *****ing about misposts (worse then the mispost itself) then why not try something a little more locked down... why would a user like myself need access to post in a dev forum for?

If you had frequent SODs you could up a logcat, it's very basic stuff and could potentially help the dev out.
Good ideas are always good, and i frequent the HD2 and Galaxy Nexus forums quite a bit, 2 of the busier dev forums, and don't really see problems with this.

Rule 7 generally does not allow you to sell it here.
But you might be able to start a thread in the Paid Software Announcement and Discussion forum to advertise it and discuss it. Read the stickies in that thread, and look at a few threads that are already in there to get an idea of how to approach it. Often, people who create a new app with the intention to sell it will offer a free version in their thread here for fellow members.
From my quick look, it seems you need to have some contribution history here at XDA to post in the Paid Software Announcement and Discussion forum, which it seems you do not (yet).
Hope this helps! Good luck!
