What's New?
One of the most exciting features packed into the 4.5.10 update is an indicator for in-app purchases. This seems to be more of a binary yes-or-no indicator (it won't give you insight into cost or quantity of IAPs), but it's great to see some kind of indication of whether the app you're about to download will be asking you to make further transactions.

The update also brings some tweaks to the review process and its related layouts. First, the Play Store's got a new layout for viewing your own review, and a large five-star selector if you've yet to rate an app. There's also an explicit "Edit" button, which should make the ability to edit your review a little more obvious.
Unlike previous versions of the Play Store, 4.5.10 allows users to delete their reviews as well. Oh, and the stars have been changed too - they're now green, sans outline, and a bit sharper.
Across all reviews (your own included), avatar images are now encapsulated in circles rather than squares. This is a small touch, but brings the app a little closer to its web counterpart.
Elsewhere, some information and typography (related to devices, users' names, and versions) have been adjusted. Check out the comparison images below - on the left is 4.4.22, on the right is the new version.

Hey guys,
I'm not the dev for this one, but it seems like an interesting app to show application analytics from data available in the developer console.
Would be interested to know who's using it/how accurate people are finding it.
Here is the appbrain link:

It literally uses your developer console it just hides that via page scraping. Its pretty slick though, however, it does have some draw backs such as you can only see comments in your language, right now it has issues seeing more than 9 apps according to the comments, and if you want to track comparisons between your app and apps from other developers this has no way to provide that for you.
Overall its definitely a solid app right now.

It does more than simply screen scrape the developer console. It saves HISTORICAL data. That means it shows you day on day changes in downloads, ratings, and active installs.
Anyway, it's working well for me, and highlighted that someone has spammed my app with 20 1 Star ratings in a single day!
Well yes but thats not how it works thats just what it does with the data after its retrieved. Sorry for the confusion. ;-)

Update: 7/13 - added free version (ad supported) to market.
I've always wanted a very simple app to let me have lists on my phone - shopping lists, to-do lists, etc, but it seems like the ones on the market have too many features that get in the way of easily creating lists, adding items, marking items as complete, and that's about it. So, I went ahead and wrote my own.
As of now, I'm happy with the app, and I've been using it for a couple of months now with no problems. But, being my first Android app (I am a professional programmer, but work in the web & desktop worlds), I'm sure there are opportunities to add features/functionality that would enhance the pure list-making experience. I had though about drag-and-drop reordering of the lists, but that seems to be more difficult to implement than I anticipated. Aside from that, I'm all ears about how to make the app better, prettier, more efficient, and more useful.
See attached for screenshots:
1) Main Screen - add/delete/backup/restore lists here
2) Back up is a simple SQLite DB file copy to the SDCard
3) Here are items in one list. Notice that some are gray - these have been "cleared" or "marked" as being complete by the user, via a simple click/toggle. An item's "cleared" status persists in the database
4) Once you're done clearing items, you can remove them from the list and database. Or, alternatively, you can unmark all of them.
See attached for APK file...
As I said, any suggestions or criticisms would be welcomed - but keep in mind that this app has a narrow focus, and I want it be very good with regard to that focus.
EDIT: Forgot also that now the app has a minimum SDK version of 8, so this app will run on Froyo (2.2) and above
I've done quite a bit more work, and now this app is available in the Google Play store. Since I don't have 10 posts yet, it won't let me include a hyperlink but here's the URL:
Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kozzer.lists&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5rb3p6ZXIubGlzdHMiXQ..
You can also find it easily by searching on my Google Play developer name: WebKozzer.
The additions include:
* drag and drop reordering
* 2 themes (light and dark)
* Optional numbering of list items
* Edit list name, or item text
* Delete contents of list without deleting list itself
* Configurable backup path
and more!
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated!
Added free, ad supported version to the market. Any feedback or feature requests would be welcomed. I was contemplating attempting to integrate voice commands. Like, once the app is open, you can use voice commands to do everything the app lets you do via touchscreen. It appears that this would require a fairly significant coding effort, and I'm not sure how useful that'd be either.
Both the pay and free versions have been updated. Some UI changes, undo functionality, and ability to add items using voice.
Play links:
Pay version
Free (ad) version
Update: 12/12 - Removed ads from Lists! Free.
Also/including:
More general cleanup
Removed network state / access permissions (since they were used for ads only)
APK size reduced by about 100kB (removed AdMob library)
Improved error handling
nice job keep working on it

Thanks! I'm always open to criticism and feature requests! And giving a rating and/or review on the Play Store would be much appreciated.
Guys, as I saw there was no post about the latest release of google play by google, I thought of making it!
A Google Play Store 4.5.10 update will soon be rolled out to your handset, but you can sideload it as an APK file right now from the source link below and enjoy the benefits. It is a rather significant update, bringing above all an in-app purchases indicator. Here's the full changelog of today's 6.63 MB update:
Activity Feed
Stars are green instead of blue
Avatars are circles not squares
typography change
New layout for reviews, including your own
Indicator for in-app purchases
The other big thing, besides the warning note which apps contain in-app purchases, is the ability to edit or completely delete your app review. You also get to share your activity feed on Google Plus, with all the comments, +1s and ratings you've given to apps.

In a nutshell
A nifty app that will keep you up to date on any PC game deals & discounts.
In a bigger nutshell?
Bargain Bytes is a small, useful app with one purpose - to provide you with up to date information on PC game deals and discounts going on at the moment. It scans 15+ on-line retailers and has an easy to use filter for controlling which stores you want to see games from. So, if you only wish to look at deals from Steam & GoG, for example, you can do that.
You can also search for a specific game or DLC and see how's it's priced in the different stores and which ones have active discounts on it.
Cool, so which Game Stores does it work with?
• Steam
• GoG
• Amazon
• Humble Store
• Gamer's Gate
• GreenManGaming
• GameStop
• Desura
• Uplay
• Origin
• Direct2Drive
• Get Games
• GamesRocket
• Shiny Loot
• IndieGameStand
• Bundle Stars
• With more to come...

Next Big Feature
Our current priority is to add a Watch-List feature to the app. This would allow you to add games you wish to keep a track of to a separate list so you'll always be able to know if any of them have an active discount or just what their current price is. It would also notify you if a game on your Watch-List falls beneath a price point you have set.
Looks great, trying it out thx

Nice One
Nice start. Apart form the watch-list, the following can be included on the feature list for the future:
1. Option to filter out DLCs, especially in the 'Lowest Price' category
2. Price filter
3. Sort games by genre and popularity within it
4. Price history or at least mention of lowest ever price for a game
5. Mention of additional discount coupons that can be applied over a discounted price
Nothing new here that can't be found on various websites, but would be good to have it in a single app.

Sweet, will try this out and see how it holds up to some other apps I use.. Thanks non the less
oh and it would be nice if you could put the ads just on the bottom of the screen, instead of them scrolling with the actual content
Great app, but there are just some issues.
-Some games have the wrong thumbnail.
-"Cannot load this deal right now" for every app I try.

We've just noticed these as well. Working on an update that should fix them in a few days.

Point 1 is something we've noticed as well - it is a feature we've considered adding. We think the price filter idea will be nice for specific games (as in monitor if a particular game goes under a target price), so that's why we'll integrate it into the watch-list.
From your other points I can say that point 4 is on our to-do list - we're just wondering how to properly integrate it into the app.
Again, thanks for the feedback!

Nice app! I hope you add Kinguin among others.

As i'm sure others were, I was disappointed to see AppChat go away. I've been working on a much larger scale idea, but figured this could be a good starting point.
talk pseudo is an anonymous chat app that creates rooms based on the apps installed on your device, location, device information, and your interest. While most chat apps (and social media in general) require a login or sign up, I wanted to try a new approach. Everything is anonymous. For each room, you are given a randomly generated ID (and color). These identifiers are also periodically regenerated. While I can't make any guarantees towards the long term direction, I can assure you that the platform of anonymity will ALWAYS be here (looking at the like of yik yak, which started forcing profiles/usernames). While in a given room, you are able to chat as well as optionally attach images to your message.
With talk pseudo you can also add custom rooms, tailored towards your own personal interest. You can add your favorite artist from Spotify, favorite bar from Foursquare, tv shows, or websites and subreddits. All of the rooms can also be toggled. So if you'd like to hide location based rooms, simply select to hide them in the settings. Along with that, if you select to hide location rooms for example, you will also no longer be prompted for location permissions. Everything permission/data wise is used on an AS NEEDED basis.
Available Rooms:
- Apps installed on device
- Device information (model, brand, etc)
- Location information (city, street, etc)
- Network information (Provider, timezone, etc)
- Nearby Foursquare places
- What's trending
- Twitter trends
- Foursquare trending places
- pseudo trending
Available Custom Rooms:
- Spotify
- Foursquare places
- TV Shows
- Reddit / Subreddits
- Websites
An extra feature that I saw people were requesting from AppChat was an "app search" functionality, allowing you to find discussions on apps before you were to buy one for example. talk pseudo has a built in app search, that leverages the created app based rooms. I found this to be the best approach, as this guarantees that there are users for that given app already. But keep in mind, this means not ALL apps will be available, though the list will continue to grow as time goes on.
Please also keep in mind this is in a very early state. I do have a rather large long term plan for features, but I am also looking for as much feedback as I can get. I've found that community driven apps tend to have great outcomes, and i'd love for talk pseudo to take that approach.
That app is now live on Google Play. I will also be publishing talk pseudo to a few other Android app stores here soon. If you do not have the Play Store on your device, I can also get a link up to a direct download. Along those same lines, that app uses but does not require Play Services. Everything should have graceful fallbacks in the event Play Services is not on the device!
