I am proud to present my very first App release:
What City - The Travelers Quiz is a quiz game with Google Street View panoramas. You have to guess a city from a random Street View panorama. You get to choose the cities you want to play with. Any city with Street View can be added.
It's free and for now also ad-free, since this is mostly a hobby project and learning endeavour.
Since there is no Android native Street View Api yet, the gamescreen consists of mainly a browser window with JavaScript running inside. It works, though it is not a very smooth solution. On older devices animations and can be quite slow, but most notably on larger screens panning and zooming the Street View causes a lot of lag. The main hurdle I had to tackle was the communication between Java and Javascript and getting a correctly layouted WebView independent of pixel densities and Android Versions.
Being new to Android, working my way around different behaviors of different API versions was something I did not anticipate. I would have expected more general convenience (think Visual Studio, or QT Designer), that hopefully will be delivered with Android Studio.
I'd be happy, if you'd give it a try and I would love to hear your comments on what could be improved about my game.
Thank you!
nice game, bit tricky to us

I shoot USPSA action pistol, and design stages at my range for competition. I am currently using the stage building Excel spreadsheet and none of the Android office apps seem to support moving objects and shapes within a spreadsheet, so I can't use my Xoom to design stages.
Are there any developers out there that also shoot USPSA/IPSC or IDPA matches? How great would it be to be able to design stages from a tablet?! Anyone up to the task of creating an app for that? I'd be willing to help as needed with whatever I could...

this is a very interesting idea!
i like the pre-defined lists idea very much, and hope they (e.g. world capitals) can be expanded to more cities in future versions (or maybe user-customisable)..
just some minor isses to report:
(1) the help box cannot be displayed correctly in my n5 kitkat 4.4.2.. the "The Game" text gets cut off on the upper part..
(2) typo on Help > "Edit Cities" section.. the last sentence "If not, readd it with blah-blah.."
all in all, a very nice work.. thx!

Thanks for giving it a try and for your kind words. My plan is to make the lists shareable between users, but this will take some time.
Update to 1.2.2
By user request the new version brings a new preference, that allows you to disable the sticky images in the background.
As always: Any feedback on the game is highly appreciated.
Update to 1.2.3
I only find time on weekends to work on this. The update to 1.2.3 brings:
Improved loading times making the game feel more responsive, through better prefetching.
A less clotted layout.
Give it a try and let me know, if you like the improvements.
New Version 1.3.0
The new version comes with a completely overhauled design. Let me know, what you think of it!
Hi guys =)
My latest project made it into the appstores finally, its called "Zero - a Numbers Puzzle Game".
It was an experiment playing around with a cross platform app framework. And i would appreciate some feedback about how you guys think the result turned out. I would be not just interested in feedback about the gameplay itself but also about how it is performing on your devices, if there are any problems or everything runs smoothly.
Whats it about:
In the game you see some blocks with numbers in it, your goal is to bring the whole playfield to 0. when you tap a block, the blocks to the left, the right, above and below it will get reduced by one (if there are any). the field (and difficulty) grows with each level.
Here are the links: Google Playstore and in case somebody has an ios device: itunes appstore
i also made this short video to show the gameplay. (it looks more complicating than it is )
Awesome puzzle game with refreshing gameplay (I have not seen anything like that before)!!
Suggestions for future versions:
-maybe some optional music?
-different difficulty levels, especially an easier one with more retries?
Maybe some design work needed but i like the game.

what exactly do you mean? which parts of the game could need a new/better design?
In my opinion, the navigation bar could look a lot better
Hi, I like the game and let others decide on the design.
For the game itself, could you have shortcuts to a level? I've gotten to 66, and it is frustrating to restart all the way at 1, and has actually been a reason why I just don't play very much anymore.
Every 10 or 15 levels would be good shortcut areas.
Thanks!
Hello,
I thought I'd share a little game I developed over the weekend. It's called Emojimon - mostly because I have an obsession with emoji and Pokemon - although it unfortunately doesn't yet remotely resemble the original Pokemon games.
The gameplay itself is quite simple - collect points for all the happy emoji that fall to the bottom, and tap the negative emoji to keep them away. It gets harder as time goes on, and hopefully it's fun and challenging! Hopefully I can introduce more emoji that do weird/cool things, started with only a couple to keep it simple.
Would love to get any thoughts/feedback on other ideas. An obvious one would be to integrate Google Play Games.
As a side note - it's my first attempt at using Ionic Framework to create a hybrid app (I am a web developer by profession, but have dabbled in a few native Android apps in the past).

Top Picks: Betting Tips
The app provides the best betting tips and preview predictions for sports. The main focus is on soccer picks but occasionally there are also picks for tennis games, basketball and ice hockey matches.
Our selection of betting picks is based on experts research and analysis of statistics.
We also use a little bit of help from artificial intelligence and machine learning.
However apart from the complicated algorithms and calculations there are many different things that could have big impact on the match and completely change the game scenario. Therefore we take into account other bits and pieces such as:
previous games from historical data
current form and fitness
general motivation to win within the team
missing players and injuries
weather conditions
Key Features of the App
betting tips are provided on a daily basis, depending on the market availability
each pick include date, discipline, theoretical odds and sometimes name of the competition or league
configurable odds format where you can choose from American, Decimal or Fractional odds
automatic push notifications whenever sport picks are available, you can disable it in the settings
monthly statistics where you can check how successful are our predictions by tracking things such as yield, average odds and profit
you can share sport picks with friends via different communication channels

Hi,
Please feel free to provide any feedback. Any ideas, changes you would like to see in the app? I guess this is mostly for people interested in sports. Any reviews on the Play Store would be great :fingers-crossed:
Cheers!
