[APP 2.2+] WritingPrompts - New App

I figured XDA would be a good place to promote my new app. I just finished up work on a Writing Prompts app. I put quite a bit of polish into it. Nothing crazy design-wise, but it's very simple and easy to use. This is my first major app release to Android. I have released a few apps in the past before I focused on Android development full-time, so I was looking to promote this app a little bit and get some feedback on it.
Just want some honest feedback and suggestions as a newly full-time independent Android developer.
As of release date there are no prompt packs available to purchase, but I will be adding them in the next day or two and adding more over time if the app gets some downloads. I will also be adding several hundred more prompts to all the other categories over the next week, but I want to get it out there now to see what kind of things I need to work on and how well the app actually does.
If you like it, tell people about it. I'm hoping to generate some buzz. Creating apps in my source of income at the moment, and this is my first attempt, so any thoughtful feedback or help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!

Working now, thanks. Will give feedback as soon as I have chance to.

Anyone have a chance to download this?

Yeah downloaded it. Haven't had the chance to do extensive testing though. But the first impression is that it's pretty cool. Will give feedback as soon as I get around to it.

Finally I was able to take some time to take a look at your app.
I like the overall design. It is simple to use.
The prompts are good too.
You should target people who are inexperienced writers. Or those who want to start writing.
Advanced writers may get the feeling, using this app, that the story they write is not their own idea anymore. But that's just my personal opinion.

[App] Pollen - See pollen count in material design

Pollen displays the pollen count for today and the next two days for any US zip code. Simply set your zip code in the “settings” activity, and you are good to go! Perfect for a seasonal allergy sufferer who needs to simply know what to expect from the air they breathe.
Features
- Pollen count for today, tomorrow, and the day after
- Cards that change color based on the pollen count, to give an indication of pollen severity
- Material design -- see pollen counts through a beautiful interface!
Permissions
- Internet. Just needs to access the JSON pollen data

Looks nice! Any chance of a dark theme?

Oh okay, looks like I made a mistake when building a signed APK from Android Studio. I will have that fixed soon, will let you know when the fix is out!

Awesome. Enjoy

Thanks for this! I live in Georgia, where the pollen count gets into the several thousands. Good to have a simple app to know what to expect (especially once Spring rolls around).

Incredibly useful and also looks great! Any chance it will cover other regions/countries, ie EU, etc?

Thank you so much! I'm very open to adding other regions, but as I live in the US I don't know where to go to get reliable pollen counts for other regions that also have parsable data sources (JSON/XML). If you or anyone else know of any, I would love to look into implementing them.

Yeah, seems to be broken. It asks for a zip code, but never accepts it.

My first ever game built on Android Studio: Simply Maths

Hi all!
I recently created a game on Android Studio. I am a UX Designer, but had recently done a few UX projects on games and enjoyed doing it. I took some time out to do Simply Maths and one other game (Monster Play) with the development help from my developer friends. It might not be a really unique or one of kind games - please don't judge too strictly. It is my very first attempt and any feedback on the UI, features or how to improve it, will be really helpful!
I found out about this forum also through my developer friends, but I had already put up the game on the GPlay through a publisher. But I would really appreciate any feedback and help to improve on the next games. I am unable to post a link or any images. I am also not sure how to attach an apk for you all to review, but you can access the game from GPlay on here:
Simply Maths by Gamifying on GooglePlay
Please leave feedback and reviews, either on this post, or on the Gplay - I will read and reply to each one
As a newbie, I will really appreciate it and am here to learn more and stay!
Kind regards,
Mann

Good User Interface. But for the difficult questions the time can run a little but slow. That's my suggestion.
And the second button(star symbol) in the home page. Will it work?

Hiii,
Thank you soo much for taking the time out and reviewing the game. I really appreciate it.
The heart button is meant to take you to the game posting on Google Play Store for rating.
It is working fine for me, but is it broken in anyway for you?
Regards,
Mann

Keep you brain working
this is a nice game and simple game !
The medal button is not working for me too.

Thank you so much everyone for taking the time.
I will have the leaderboard functionality checked - it is odd, because it is working for me.

[GAME][6.0+] Postero Launched

I finally released Postero to production - and even made a promo video (best I could manage!) to hopefully give a better idea of the gameplay.
It's a casual, turn-based gravity battle with multiplayer etc. There's no ads or anything, so please enjoy (or if not, let me know why!)

Thanks! It was inspired by games like Tanks and QBasic's Gorillas (remember that??) but also an old game I once played called "grav war" which I cannot find any info on anywhere!

I have played Tanks and Grav War.
I've switched to Android 10 and the game crashes after opening it
