Thanks baks for the feedback.
I have just pushed an update to the store which allows DealPad to run on Android 2.2+. This now allows approximately 95% of active Android devices to access the application.
To celebrate this release the Ad-Free version has been reduced to just 50pence.
As always I look forward to hearing feedback from you guys.

Amazing app, definitely the best “HotUkDeals” app on the market. However, I have a suggestion, would it be possible to add a slide function to move between panels?

Sorry just noticed your comment now. I have considered the slide between tabs. The reason it is not implemented currently is that when a tab is switched the deals are downloaded. So adding the slide to switch tabs doesn't feel right.
I will keep it on the to do list and see if I can cache some deals to make it feel more natural and fluid.
Let me know if you have any more requests/comments.

Ahh its fine. Could you not make the slide feature like the YouTube app? The page itself doesn’t actually freeze, so you still have the ability to slide/press a tab even though it’s loading. Caching the deals would be a good idea though, definitely more efficient.
By the way, I have also noticed the settings page doesn’t actually have a header?

By the way, have you thought about adding the ability to switch between holo light and holo dark themes. Just a thought

Yeah the way youtube implement it is nice. Sadly the way the deals are stored at the moment means I can't do that without changing the data structure which will be a bit of work.
Regarding themes, I am personally not a fan of holo dark but I have had a few requests so I can look into it. Unsure about black and orange though

Yeah I understand what you mean, hopefully it wouldn't be too hard to implement though as a slide function would be great. It would definitely make it easier to switch tabs on tablets.
The black and orange theme wouldn't be too bad in my opinion, not greatly important, but nice as an option.

New App - Amazing technology! The end of homescreen chaos!

What is it?
How many times have you rambled through your phone searching for an App? Wondering where in the world, among all those icons is the one you are searching.
Worry no more! That's what EZ-Launch is for.
To be honest, Ez-Launch is more of a widget than an app, and it helps you makes sense of your overburdened home screen.
How do I install it ?
Well, after you find " Ez-Launch " on google play store and download (Apologies for the absence of a link) and download, You add the Ez-Launch widget to your homepage, and EZ does the rest.
The app will learn your preferences and give you E-Z access to your favorite apps.
What if I don't want this app or that app on my widget? What choices do I have?
In purpose of enabling you more control we have defined a settings screen that enables you to select one of 3 options for every app installed on your device:
Always - This app will always be on the widget
Off - Never place this app on the widget.
Auto - Its up for the EZ-Launch app to decide.
In addition you also have the possibility to save a state of the widget (a certain collection of apps that you like) and load it later on as you please.
What?? How does it work? Is it... MAGIC!?
No. It isn't magic. It is a project developed by 4 Computer science students from Tel aviv University within an android technologies workshop in collaboration with Google.
During the project we have researched, studied and developed algorithms and heuristics (Yeah, sounds a bit complicated) all for your benefit and ease of mind. In order not to burden the reader, we will briefly just explain that the application service simply learns you, and knows how to give you the most convenient arrangement for your home screen that just continues to improve.
This is a project in the Beta phase, and we strongly recommend that you give it a try and download, especially if you know someone (Like your parents) that is having a hard time managing their home screen.
For those of you who don't know what Beta means, it is the phase right before the official release of the app, where you get to try it for free(!) and even influence the development by giving us your valuable feedback.
That's right! If you have complaints, suggestions, or any type of feedback just let us know by contacting the development team by mail:
[email protected]
Or on our Facebook page, where you can also LIKE us:
facebook.com/EzLaunch
So download, enjoy and let us know what you think.
Yours with love,
EZ-Launch Team.

This has quite the potential. I am amazed that I seem to be the only one trying it out here! I've been using it a couple of days now and it already gives me a great list of my most used widgets. I'm using it as a 5x3 widget on my note and thanks for making it scrollable as well! :thumbup:

Great app indeed!
I only have one comment: while using it with Nova Launcher, resizing the widget 'kills' the way the icons are displayed, as I can only see half of the last row (for custom number of rows/columns).

good work with the app, reminds me of similar things with WinMo 6.x on my Sony Eric son X1 a while back. Would be nice to have resizable app icons within the widget though, if possible.

What a great idea! I am also surprised this app is not getting more attention. Nice work.

Thank you all for the positive feedback. We derive great pleasure in knowing that people like our creation and find it useful.
Besides from relishing on your compliments we would also like to hear any suggestions or complaints you might have. Do not hesitate to post here, email us at [email protected] or like us on facebook.com/EzLaunch
Thanks. :good:

sadly only for android 4 and up on store.

Nice you planing on ability to change icons and text ...theme abilities.

Hi. Is it possible to have an option for the widget to return to the top of its list after launching an app? Would love to see this feature added if possible.

AW: New App - Amazing technology! The end of homescreen chaos!
Hi,
Nice app. Would be great if you could make icon text optional and a scale down for icons. Till now I used a launcher-x widget on my home screen that is 5x2 grid size and contains 7x3 icons of my most used apps.
As is use these apps often the text is not needed. By scaling down the icons I can just get more icons in it.
Pretty nice app so far. If you could implement some of these features it would be worth buying it.

The last update from a couple of hours ago caused a reset. Just use your phone like normal and after a couple of hours or days the widget will automatically give you a better list.

[APP][3.0+] Flexible Unit Converter (FUC)

There are literally hundreds of unit converter apps on Google Play.
I believe FUC is the only one that uses dimensional analysis in the conversion engine to let the user build, combine, and convert an endless number of complex units.
This is my first app and I would appreciate all comments and suggestions. Thanks!

thank you, the app has been out for 2 weeks and this is the only feedback I've received. I'll take it as positive.
anyone else...?

Re: [APP][3.0+] Flexible Unit Conversion Tool (FUCT)
I just downloaded. Very good app. Well done! Sadly, while I have an Engineering degree, I mostly do only IT work these days But it looks like you have most conversions covered.
My suggestions:
1- the number pad/keyboard to add values for the conversion takes up ~75% of my tablet's screen. Not a big deal, but could be a bit smaller.
2- on the favorites page, I think it would be more intuitive to click on the row itself instead of the number on the left side.
3- It took me a while to figure out that I could click on the conversion result value and change the display options (like scientific notation threshold). Maybe have some help or indicator that keys the user know how to change these settings.
Good luck with the app!

Hey, thanks. I never tested it on a tablet, so I'm glad to hear it at least works, even if the keypad is way too big.
I'll fix the favorites as you suggest, and make the conversion result display options access more obvious.
Much appreciated.

Updated to 0.3: easier to use favorites, search function, and bug fixes.
Lots more things I could add or change, but it doesn't seem worth it since it's only getting about 1 download / day. Hopefully just needs more time.

Couldn't test it. Crashes on startup. Asus Padfone 2.

The app opens a lot faster now, which I think is important as generally converting units is something you want to be able to do as quickly as possible.

I know this is a very old thread but the author was responding so I'll ask here anyway. This is an awesome tool that I've used for years very happily. However, as of today v0.54 force closes on my A10e running Android 11 stock. I've reset cache and date with no success. I wasn't notified of an update but there you go.
I'm guessing I may be alone in using the app, but I don't know of any real alternative. I'm hoping rhe author sees this but if anyone else has any thoughts or alternative unit converters to suggest I'm open to suggestions.

I don't know what's out there. Just converting units seems a bit limited.
I've had a private app on Windows that is a calculator and knows about units.
I keep on thinking about porting it to Android
1 inch/((1 ampere/-electron charge/avogadro's number)/(18awg/atomic volume(cu)))
This tells you that an Ampere of DC current through an 18AWG cable will take 4 minutes 43 seconds to move the electrons one inch.

There are lots of calculators but there are no other flexible converters ive located. I would consider a combined cLculator/unit converter if it utilized custom units like FUC. That is the only feature i really have a use for since everything else has been done.

I found ConvertAll for Linux/Windows that may work. It's certainly not as slick as FUC, but it might be a fall back option.
Convertall - Screenshots
It's only Windows so not what I want though...

Hi all!
I wasn't satisfied with any of the current methods of accessing all apps/contacts so I set out to create my own.
I present to you, Snype.
Snype has a unique dual-index system where switching between "snyping" apps and contacts is almost instant. It has changed the way I use my device and has done the same for many of my beta testers.
It also has a unique "side panel" mode where apps and contacts can be accessed simply by scrolling a finger up or down the edge of the display, which is always active no matter which app you are currently in. A list will appear and automatically begin scrolling to the location in the index that the finger is pointing to.
Snype does not try to replace your launcher. In fact, I designed it so that I would be able to use any launcher I like and not have to worry about the launcher's implementation of the app drawer. This means it's very easy to have a completely uncluttered, beautiful home screen and still be only a second away from accessing any app or contact you desire.
There are no ads and all functionality is available for free. The premium upgrade allows full customisation of the appearance of the lists.
Let me know how it goes for you!

I should mention that the premium upgrade is available for $0.99 for a short period of time to celebrate the launch of Snype. It will be a bit more later.

Some things to change:
- Add more languages
- if possible the alphabet lists have a title to know that one it is for apps, and the other for contacts.
- A widget and a direct access from home.

Thanks for the excellent feedback.
More languages is actually a surprisingly large challenge due to the indexes. It is something that I might look into again later, but when I was having a crack at it before there were some significant technical hurdles.
I have thought about doing something to let you know at a glance which is for apps and which is for contacts... like different colours or something. I'm not sure. Where do you think the title should go? There's not much room there.
I also looked into doing a widget. Unfortunately widgets don't support all kinds of views so making a widget with this functionality is impossible unless the launcher is built specifically for it. That's actually the main reason I implemented the side panels, because I knew the widget would not be possible.

ability to launch apps in halo would be nice. And maybe icon theme support. Very nice and useful app by the way:good:

I just released an update to fix some crashes in the initial release.

I just released an update which added animation to the side panels, adds Snype to the list of apps and fixes some bugs. I'm still trying to hunt down some bugs that occur only on some devices. Let me know if you have one of those devices please.

Okay, I think I've got all the known bugs fixed. Let me know if there's anything else wonky.

Just released an update with a new feature: favourites bar.
Now it's even faster to access those special few apps and contacts you use most often.

I love the ability to search contracts easily! And light theme looks cool.
Keep it up!:good:

I went on trips and find it hard to note expenses down. A calculator app doesn't allow me to take notes. A note taking app doesn't calculate the result for me. A full-blown expense tracking app is too complex for me. So I develop this app, Expense Lister.
It is as the screenshot shows. Numbers on your left and notes on your right. Just like taking note with pen and paper. It also supports multiple sheets.
Expense Lister both has a calculator function and you can note besides. It is automatically calculate for each number you input. You can always come back and track what each expense is. It is super simple just like a sheet of paper and a pen. You write number on the left and a note of the side.
Toggle between expense and income is a tap away. Tap at the sign in front of each record.
Your list of expense is calculated at the bottom of the screen, automatically.
Expense Lister automatically save data for you. It allows you to easily rearrange your list of expense with a drag and drop. Also, you can individually delete each record. Also,the app supports multiple sheets. You can use one sheet for a trip expense, another for a grocery, another for a meal. You can rename your sheet, too.
You can download it here.

Works as intended, it's easy to use with a clean interface.
