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.

I'd never purchased apps on the google play
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.

There's also a boatload of dollar games at the Apple App Store for the iPhone and iPad. I think there was 40 games on sale for today. Most of them were $1. Sega and Namco had some $2 to $4 games...normally around $6.

so it's not gpu support. probably has to do with the game data files. like mentioned above. there may be some sort of registration that goes on with that. it may work if you steel the files from the captivate, but it's prolly too late now since you already paid.
Yeah, no biggie at a buck, however had these been have to haves and 5 bucks each I would have researched the issue before purchasing

Okay...I just installed Nova 2 HD on my Inspire 4G and it won't play. It plays the opening movie and then goes back to the app drawer. I went to the Gameloft Facebook page to report it but they keep deleting my comment. I went to the Gameloft Twitter page to tweet it, but they delete the tweet immediately.
Looks like Gameloft has seen the only $1.98 they'll ever get from me. And I will be advertising about them everywhere.
It shows them as $4.99 now...

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

Seems like nearly the same apps from the 10 cent sale. Hopefully Minecraft goes back up.
OP, thanks for the heads up. Even though I use Kingsoft Office for excel/word/pdf/ppt, I see that OfficeSuite6 Pro is available today for 0.25c Normally $14.99. May switch back to OfficeSuite6 at this price.

I picked up the OfficeSuite App, even though I have no practical use for it now. I definitely see myself picking up an Android tablet in the future and something like this would be quite useful.
Yeah the OfficeSuite Pro 6 + is the only thing I purchased so far, I bought the hell out of applications back when they had the .10c sale, unless the deals ramp up I don't see myself buying many things this time around.
I really hope they end up putting LogMeIn Ignition on this sale. I use that on my computer and I love it but having to pay $30 for their app is simply ludicrous. I was super pissed when it was like that for iOS and then it went on sale for 50% off so naturally I jumped on it then like less than a month later they released a free version of the app.
Personally I've been a fan of logmein I've always used splashtop

Ehhh.. nothing really of interest for me. World of Goo and Cut the Rope are nice but that's about it.
Picked up World of Goo and Paper Camera. Might grab Doubletwist, but I kind of like Alarm Clock Xtreme.
Still looks nearly the same as the 10 cent sale.
I'm hoping that like the 10ยข sale the apps change periodically. Nothing really interesting to me right now.

Updated again. HD Widgets on today's list, as are a couple of good-looking office/photo apps and a couple of decent game.
TunIn Radio Pro is a steal at 25 cents. I haven't used HD Widgets, but I bet it's a good deal too. I've used Beautiful Widgets for a long time and it was worth full price.. Also, you just HAVE to try Monsters Ate My Condo. ZombieSmash is a winner, too.

Google are becoming Apple, every new update they've done something to restrict the freedom of the platform or make you jump through several menus to get to what used to just be there, kinda like Windows 8 lol.
After using Symbian on the 808, I just think Android is so far behind it in terms of functionality, Nokia let you do anything, they don't care, though they ditched it now so why should they lol. I wish they didn't ditch it now though and I wish the 808 had newer specs because the browser is so slowwwwww!

With ads forming a big revenue for some many developers Google was contemplating it for a while. I guess it will soon be side loaded ad blockers only. I hope they allow update to older already present ad blockers.

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.

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.
