[Q] apps on sale alert - General Questions and Answers

is there anyway to set-up alerts for apps on sale at either Play or Amazon apps?

There's AppSales, but it's only for Google Play.

well that's something.

Uh oh!! Your Appsale link doesn't work anymore. Is there anything else? I'm curious about this too. I want to get NFS: Most Wanted on sale. LoL!!
And there was no way for me to get directly to the 25 cent Google Play sale unless I went through a link on the website. I didn't know how to navigate through the Desktop Play Store to find these apps. I definitely didn't know how to find these apps in the Mobile Play Store.
Sorry for my rant. =.P

The link still works. You can also go to Google Play and search for appsales.

Appzapp is a newish app in the play store which I use to keep informed of sales. It's still in beta but if it turns out to be as good as the ios version it will be a great app

Google just wanted to give their services a name instead of android market.
I do have to say though I don't really like the new name of things but oh well...

+1, yup! It's just rebranding. I think it's perfect! It detaches itself from the name App Store, which is one of the reasons why they went with Android Market, because they were trying to get the idea to the mass that Market = Store (full of apps).
Now it's more like a battle between Google and Amazon.

Reviewing apps as A Google User?

How can I review an app as "A Google User"? I still see these with new dates in the reviews, but Google Play App is trying to force me to join Google Plus to post a review, which I want to have no part of.
I have rooted Sensation and would appreciate any advice on how to sidestep this new Google BS.
Thanks
Any ideas, anyone?
Just create a g+ account, you don't need to use it for anything else than reviewing!
I am still curious what people are doing to review as "A Google User"
Odp: Reviewing apps as A Google User?
That's simple. These guys use Market 2, and even after you have it connected to g+ on website or some newer version of google play, on the old one it shows as google user.

Somewhere over xda. But I can't guarantee it will work, as it is old version. Since it changed into Google Play, and updated to version 3.10, Market 2.3.6 may not support your device well, even on Gingerbread, not saing about ICS. I cant test it, because I don't have Sensation yet. You can browse und buy apps only, forget about books, movies...
Mayby it's better just not to review apps?
Its gonna look like this

I don't use the books, movies part of Google Play anyway. I only use it for apps. But once I install the old version, how do I keep it from updating into Google Play automatically? Is the one you linked to appropriate for a Sensation? And I do have ICS, but I don't think Google Plus was required to do reviews in the early days of my ICS installation.

That is how I want my reviews to look, so I can do them without Google Plus.
Edit: I went to the other thread to make the download and the only link there has gone bad. It only downloads iLivid junkware. No link to the market apk at the hosting service.
Anyone have the APK for the last version of google play app that don't force us to join google plus to write a review for an app?
Thanks

[Q] Google Keyboard

Hi .. with Google releasing the new Google Keyboard, I'm interested to try. Just wondering if I should download on Google Play and install or should I wait for the update being pushed down?

Just install from Play, they`re the same most likely. The roll-out however is done in stages.
The update IS on the Play Store, Google won't push an OTA for a system app update

Like all Google apps the rollouts are staged. Sometimes I get apps right away, like the keyboard. Sometimes it takes a few days.

Keyboard layout appears to be much much bigger than before. Anyone see a way to shrink it a bit?
Thanks for all the info.
I updated directly from Google Play. Did a quick search on www.google.com for Google Keyboard and put in my Google account. Rest went smoothly without any hitch!

[Q] Amazon Instant Video

In case you didn't know Amazon brought down their price for Prime today (only) to $72 for new members only. So I went and bought a subscription. I can get it to work on my Note 4, but cant seem to get it to work on my Note 12.2
Has anyone figured out how to play from Amazon Instant Videos?
or
I was wondering If anyone knew the right combo of Apps I need to download in order to get Instant Video to work?
Side Note. I know Google Removed Amazon’s Original App from Google Play for Adding their own type of Appstore inside there App.
Ist very simple: you must use the PHONE Version of Amazons store app (NOT "Amazon for Tablets"!!!) to get Instant/Prime Video to work on the tablet! You have to install it with Amazons own app store.

Ok Yeah after downloading a few wrongs ones I figured it out.
Amazon Version 5.2.2 - (Not the Tablet One, or Shopping One)
Instant Video Version 1.0 (I havent looked for an updated version yet)
Sweet I got it to work Thanks!
I must be doing something wrong... I downloaded the amazon app from the Amazon app store and it shows the green watch instantly link, but when I click it loads into the instant video and fails with "unknown_error". Any tips for what I should try differently?

Did you make sure they were the same Versions I posted in my previous Post?
Mine is playing perfectly fine. Try uninstalling and re-installing the apps.

Amazon uk giving away £75 of free apps today

They're are some good apps and games in the Amazon android app store
Sign into your Amazon account first then click on this link
www.amazon.co.uk/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000644603
Click on get started and follow the instructions to install the Amazon android app store. Please note this is a different app to the Amazon shopping app.
Ps This is a rival app store to the Google play store, which is why Google won't allow it in the play store, hence the reason you have to turn off security to allow you to install this app.

Does it let you see all recent added games as I don't like on google playstore that you can only see the top new games and not just all new games.
Thanks for sharing
