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.

Yeah I checked and nothing. Contacted Samsung and they are opening a "ticket" for me and I should be getting it.

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.

I use an app called XBOX Live Statistics. It's nice because I can see if my friends are online or not, and I can send them XBL messages from my phone. It's a little slow, but worth the load time.
Its the fact all of us who paid for an app can now no longer use it and we got no refund from the dev or google but everyone will cry like babies about pirated software and protecting their work well im saying what's protecting our (the consumer) money.

Absolutely not the devs or Google. Microsoft is at fault here. They disabled access and there was nothing anyone could do about it. Google could have given you the money back but you shouldn't be mad at them.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
I didn't even know about this. I have xbox live statistics. Is the app no longer working? I haven't checked it in a day or so, but have a widget that treks me if I have any messages or how many of my friends are online. This is a real bummer and I hope the consumers show enough outrage that they allow access once again. This affecting other mobile platforms as well?

Yup that's exactly why these apps are useful. No need to keep booting up the Xbox or load the bloated website.
Removing access is not cool at all.
Buy a ps4 like iam going to I was a big xbox fan and I still like my 360 and xbox1 but after 4 POS 360s I will not buy the next xbox! And I did not buy win7 becuz M$ riped us 360 owners off with defetive ****y hardware! M$ really Sucks it all started after Bill gates left

They only pulled it because it cost money. Had it been free it would have stayed. That's their policy on the iPhone app store thus I assume the same thing here

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
Sent from my Xperia Ray using xda app-developers app
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 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

but..
Titanium Backup Pro

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.

$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.

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.

A couple of clarifications on the promotion we are doing with AppGratis:
- The promo will end at 1 PM GMT, June 7
- It is only for new accounts created in this time frame. So if you already have an account with the free trial expired, unfortunately you can't get the full license for free.

So Tapatalk 4 is out and Im on the fence about it. .99c is a killer deal however when I took a look at the reviews it was really mixed. A lot of people say it isnt loading forums/topics quickly. However it still has a 4.3 star overall rating. I did purchase the app and tried it for a few minutes to discover similar issues. (Im running the beta / 3rd version now). It did look a lot different then the beta though. Has anyone else tried it? What are your thoughts? Do you feel its slower than the beta?
I just bought it myself and truthfully I don't see much difference than the public release version.. :S not having the problems others are on the reviews but I'm on WiFi :<
