[APP] [1.5+] Quiz/Treasure hunt app, uni app project

Hi
A bit about me:
I've just started uni to do software engineering and after the first week of "bonding" and stuff, we've been put into groups of 6 to develop an android app and market it. We're students of the Preston campus of the university of central Lancashire aged 18. My group has next to no programming experience, with only me having done anything before although it's mostly been python, I also did some C++.
I've been on XDA for a few years, since I got my first android (a HTC Desire HD, now on a galaxy note) and have mostly been a lurker, not really saying a huge amount because I don't want to get in the way of developers and annoy people, but also because I don't know a huge amount about android, although I have provided some logcats and advice where I knew the answer and could help. I often also use alpha or beta releases as a daily driver as I just text a little and love fiddling with the android operating system.
Our task:
Our first task as a group is to create a android based quiz-type app that will eventually double up as a GPS located treasure hunt app. We have to build this in appinventor as few of us know a programming language and it's a good introduction in how a program is built up and the logic behind it. The app is built up over a few weeks, as we learn how to do different things. It starts as a quiz app with hard coded questions, then we have to develop it into a quiz app that uses a server to get questions and finally into a treasure hunt that uses GPS locations and questions to lead us around the city of Preston to get points.
All throughout the 4 weeks we have to do it, we gain points which transfer into the grade we will get for this module of the course.
The catch:
During these 4 weeks, we have to market our app and our brand, to try "sell" our app and get it out there. As I'm the programmer of the group, mainly building the app, I'm not so involved in this process but I thought I'd ask on here for feedback and to ask you to help us out.
What I'm asking:
So, please will you go follow us on twitter and retweet us, spread the word on facebook about us and our app and (when it finally gets put up) view our "viral" YouTube video.
Go to our website if you want to download our app and have a look, any feedback would be fantastic, thanks. It won't be up for a few days, but if you can please follow us on twitter and facebook for now and when it's uploaded we'll update everyone.

[APP] [FREE - NO ADS- NO PERMISSIONS] Tip Calculator

Hey everybody,
I’ve made significant improvements on the tip calculator app I developed. My app is ad-free and requires no permissions. Why did I do this? Because it feels good to provide users with a free app, a clean interface, and an excellent user experience. I developed this because I personally needed a tip calculator that wouldn’t spam me with ads, would provide a customizable solution, and has with a clean and stylish interface. I believe I fulfilled all these important aspects, but I would appreciate any feedback you could provide to me by giving my app a rating or review. Please tell me what you think, thank you!
As a new user I can't post download links, but you can find it by typing "fast tip calculator" into the google play store.
A little more about myself, I’m an individual developer and a senior in high school who develops apps for personal, educational, and business uses. I am completely self taught and have never taken any programming class. I have big plans for future apps and will be applying to colleges soon in pursuit of a Computer Science degree. Thank you for your support.

Thanks Dev for making us the Ad Free App.
Here is the Play Store link for people who is interest.

[GAME][2.3+] Triton - Stop Cancer [FREE GAME, donations for research]

Hi Everyone,
Recently I developed an Android Game on a topic that would be controversial for a game; cancer. Due to personal reasons I decided to build and publishing this and donate the profit (revenue – costs) to institutes that research new treatments and possible cures. The game is free and revenue comes from advertisement (AdMob).
LINK TO THE APK
The game tries to make a abstract simulation of the disease that is yet playable and addictive. Until recent I had a very trustworthy reviewer that was very close to me. Now I make a appeal to everyone here to review my app/game and give me feedback and advice on the following:
* Game-play (Is it playable, add or remove some features?)
* Graphics (Images, UI, promo apps, icons etc.)
* Advertisement (Placement: when and where. sources)
* Promotion (Idea's for ''free'' promotion are welcome)
* Bugs (any errors or unwanted/unexpected app behavior)
* Language (grammar and oddities)
I sincerely appreciate all help to make this project a success!
Kind regards,
Triton Programming

The cure is already found. just not many want to regonize it as the medical miracle it is,
such a shame...
you can even grow it in your own backyard. but illigal in so many countries, i wonder why (ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY) no doctors cares about finding an actual cure.

Downloaded. Just wanna support, doesnt test your apps yet, sorry, i'm busy. I hope my support can help. Good luck

[APP][BETA] WowBulletin - source for all your news of World of Warcraft

WowBulletin - Beta testing starts for my new app
World of Warcraft has been a major presence through my life - taught me many things and I couldn't be happier to have played it for a long time. Blizzard games has also been a huge part of my life since Warcraft II - Tides of Darkness, and I've devoted more time playing these games than doing whatever other kids were doing while growing up.
The problem that I tried to solve was very simple: I couldn't find any mobile-oriented and easy way to read news about my favorite online game. MMO-Champion being the biggest and most popular website for all-Blizzard related news and they don't have a mobile app (well they do, but it's SO terribad that I can't even consider it an app).
I decided to build an app that will help the millions of players to browse news articles, blue posts etc without having to deal with a website that isn't mobile optimized.
The decision to work on this was also to work on something different, outside any Root related tools, which allowed me to try new APIs, new design choices, and made me think out of the box.
I know this app isn't something for the majority of users that follow me, but nevertheless I would like to hear feedback from anyone, WoW user or not.
I pushed the app to the BETA channel couple hours ago and you can try it now, completely for free (I'll have some premium functions for the final release). The app isn't finished, I'd say it's about 85% done, and it will have bugs. Although I had a couple users who been using it and reported some ideas/bugs it WILL break sometimes.
If you want to help or just check it out you have to:
1 - Join https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/107239563570541693646
2 - Apply for testing: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.franco.newsforthewarcrafter
3 - ???
4 - Download it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.newsforthewarcrafter
I'm pretty happy about what I achieved so far, it's been tricky to come up with something like this without an API, but it's been tremendously fun. So fun that I think I never coded something in such short time with the amount of complexity involved.
The icon/banner/promo banner are placeholders, I'll have proper graphics for the full release.
I'll leave you with some screenshots, hope to see you helping me BETA test the **** out of it

[GAME][4.1+][BETA] Beta Testers Needed: Money Clicker – Business Simulator+Idle Game

Hello everyone,
I am glad to be able to present you a game I created. It's called Money Clicker. As you can imagine, this game is an idle clicker. But before you say: "Just one more of many boring idle clicker games", I want to show you what Money Clicker makes different than the competitive apps. In Money Clicker you can not only click until you finger hurts - no you can purchase world-famous skyscrapers, buy company stocks in the virtual stock exchange, and even start your own business with thousands of employees! Additionally, the game is tightly integrated with Google Play Games, so you can earn achievements, climb leader-boards and compare with your friends. And the best: Money Clicker is completely free and doesn't contain ads.
It started as a small app on a January afternoon but turned soon into a much bigger project. Please notice that this game is still in Beta and may contain some bugs. I would really appreciate if you could test the app and give me feedback (perhaps in this thread or per Google Play Store feedback).
Interested?
Unfortunately I am not permitted to post links so if you want to try it please go to the Google Play Store and search for "Money Clicker" and select the app from "Illumination Apps".
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me.
~Jonathan (Developer of Money Clicker)

Awesome. Sounds great. I'll give it a go.

Would it be possible to get changelogs of updates to see what's changing from patch to patch?

Love
I'm a beta tester and I'm currently obsessed. I would like to eventually be able to have more strategy involved in some areas, but I'm just craving a deeper real time turn over. Long term stocks and day trading. I like the randomization and variables. All ready more categories to explore than most and different incomes to acquire. Keep up the great work!

suggestions and maybe a bug
I have a few things to say, first of all: Great game, great idea, it's really fun.
I'd like to know more how things really work, for example when I upgrade the research facilities of my business what will this do? will I have a lower cost? will I be able to sell my goods at higher prices? What about using money to spend in research? What's going to happen???
Also I'd like to report a bug: I upgraded the factory this morning by 1 level and it was already at maximum level, the hint said "you should hire more workers in order to get your goods out in the world fastest" or something like that, the problem is that the minimum amount of employees I could hire was 12.000, thus I was -30.000.000 in the account balance and after a few minutes the game said "your business failed, you sold everything except the REIT to repay your debts" ....
Anyway it's really a good game,
Thanks

Wow, now 500k+ downloads.
I'd like my game to be so successful too.
