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.
The new market is showing Apps as "installed" that were downloaded via amazon, you can also update!
Edit: only free apps* paid Apps you are asked to purchase, but are still shown as installed

Wow, if that's true, that's a great feature... although I hardly ever have updates for my Amazon apps.

I agree, a simple fact like this could have been started in the first thread and it wouldn't if been over shadowed.
I purchased "apparatus" in the Amazon app store and it is no longer available. Android market is telling me an update is available, and then I'm asked to purchase the app.... Contact the dev?

I believe that if it is a purchased app from amazon (even one of the free apps of the day) you can only update it in the amazon market, not the android market.

Why would an app cost $$$ on the Amazon AppStore but be free in the Android Market..? Sounds like you are installing "lite" or ad versions.
Amazon app store has it free today...just saying ($14.99 regular price)

Amazon App Store
From the Android Market, install the Amazon appstore app. Go to Amazon.com on your computer, sign in to your Amazon account, and link a credit card to your account. (Amazon wants you to do this so you could buy apps from their appstore). Turn on One-Click for your account. Then launch the Amazon appstore app on your phone and sign in. You should be able to download free apps.

The Amazon App Store is only available from Amazon's web site as far as I know. They have a QR code for it and it sideloads.
You can go to amazon.com, go to the apps for android section, put in your phone number and it'll txt you with the download as well. Also to install it you'll need to go into settings>applications and allow unknown sources.

Not only that, most apps purchased verify your account when you launch them, so if it doesn't see it in your appstore it won't launch.
Not free anymore so thread closed...

Does anyone still use the Amazon app store? The apps never get updated.

Amazon app store never gets updated?
They just gave it an all new UI. For the release of the kindle fire.
I got quick office pro for free that day too.
Edit: nevermind, you mean the apps themselves, my apps downloaded in the Amazon appstore update in the regular market.

Assuming you mean the UK promotion...
- Clear Samsung Store data
- Open a UK account.
- Download app.
- Clear data
- sign back into your normal account (if you have one).
- - Problem solved.
You assumed wrong. This is a Play Store app. Problem not solved. I appreciate the guide though. I can use that to get some new S-Pen apps.

LOL! That's alright man. I'm sure that in most cases, those are the apps an American would be looking for. But in my case, I just want the special "Note Edition" of the Wired news app. If you're somewhere across the pond, would you mind taking a look to see if it's available for you to download?

What if I used A vpn to connect my note to the Uk servers? I still have one I believe? I wonder if that would enable me to get it.
When I locate my vpn info and get home I will try this out.
@ Mister_Mxyzptlk
I'm on the same side of the pond as you
I know, but it says "England!" Uh huh, England 2.0... New England
@ BeerChameleon
I tried saying hello to the UK Google store by using TOR. Despite the fact I was routed through foreign IPs, it still gave me the US store >.>
So I'm not so sure a VPN would work, but hey, who knows! o.o

I dont see hwo hard it was to connect to the UK store, i got the 2 free games they have offered, Though what you also have to do is create a UK account, so delete your Samsung US account, and reset the Samsung App Store, then Launch the Samsung App store and register a new account, but under the Uk, after all that is done ect.. and email has been setup, then you can do the first steps again, and just log back in with your US account, and things still works

Also looks like we should get these apps as well if we can get wired: http://www.techweez.com/2012/08/23/galaxy-note-10-1-users-to-get-exclusive-content-from-samsung/
Did anyone figure this out? Can't find the Wired app anywhere - am in Ireland and using a US Note 10.1
Ive just downloaded this here in the UK and its not bad at all. There's only 2 editions available and each one is around 3 to 400 mb.
With me being a Multimedia Designer it looks like the app was created using Adobe Indesign CS6 which makes it look well put together, good image quality and looks rather slick, very good start..
still looking for the APK?
