[NEW APP][2.1+] 4 Months in Android Dev, Too much? or Fine? - Android Apps and Games

Hello Guys,
After doing app re-skin for a while, i decided to stop and do some real things instead. I've started learning android programming for the last 4 months. I used Lynda.com, Team Tree House, Android Hive as learning resources and a lot (i mean a lot of) stack overflow threads! I created the app using Parse.com as BaaS (Backend as a Service) It's a great service to get your app off the group. I still don't have users to test it's performance but i hope it will do.
The app i created Called FoxyKards, It's a simple app where you can discover Life hacks, tips and tricks the easy way. Filter them by categories, places and supplies. Add to favorites and comment. There are a lot of amazing hacks on the internet some works perfectly and some didn't work at all! I built the app with one reason: to make the maximum use of these tips in your everyday life, to solve problems the smart way and to improve your life, that's why i've added the filters (categories, places,....).
In addition to the android app i created a website for it and an admin panel using Node js / express js.
I hope that you check it out, it's on the playstore and if you like it, it would be nice to see a review/feedback from you.
Playstore Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.handykards.lifehacks
Website Link: http://www.foxykards.com
What i'm doing now:
I'm filtering through a large list of life hacks and adding them in daily basis.
I'm learning to market the app via social media website
App Store Search Optimization (ASO)
App indexing
What i'm planning to do next:
Learning the most from users.
Adding a really smart feature i've thinking of and the reason i started android dev. The feature is when a user check-in to a place such as restaurant, gas station, airport ... via foursquare or other service, the app push a notification with tips and tricks you can use in that place.

I'am using Parse in one of my apps! Great platform.
I've downloaded the app. Check your inbox i sent u a message!

Great start!

meet droplat

Hi everyone!
I'm writing to introduce "droplat," a new app available in the Android Market and V CAST App Store.
droplat is a location-based file sharing service that enables people to share files with others nearby. Users "check in" at a location to see the files that people are sharing. You can also leave files at a physical location for up to 2 weeks in a "Fog" that's visible to anyone that checks into the area. It provides a great way to transform real-life experiences, like concerts, sporting events, and so much more.
Check out our quick intro video on YouTube, "Meet droplat - Big Concert"
(sorry, it won't let me post a direct link...but you can find it by searching for droplat on the YouTube site)
droplat is currently a finalist in Verizon's "V CAST Apps: Power Your Apps Contest," where we are going head-to-head with 4 other apps for the grand prize. If you have access to the V CAST App Store, please consider voting for droplat in this contest!
If you're the early-adopter type, and can stomach a few bugs, we'd love to have you as part of the founding members.
All feedback welcome! Thanks for your time,
- droplat team

[Q] Looking For Interesting Apps To Review.

Hey Guys,
I review Android Apps for AndroidGuys & I am looking for new & interesting Apps to review.
I am mostly looking for utility's but if there are any cool games etc, I am still very interested in taking a look at them.
Hi,
I would be very happy, if you could have a closer look at "Locus". I am not the dev, but I am doing some promotion here on XDA.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907430
Locus is a GPS mapping application. Altough it is very succesful, it is still some kind of "Secret Tip".
With its powerful features, the great support on the forum and its continious development, it is more than an alternative to Google Maps. Some great addons and the perfect UI (maybe difficult for new users, but great if you are used to it) makes Locus an essential GPS app for everybody carrying an Android smartphone.
If you need more informations, don't hesitate to contact me!
Cheers, berkley
I'd love it if you would give OVERVI3W a review.

[App] AppTo - Social app discovery

See what your friends are AppTo!
Ever caught yourself picking up friends' phones to see which apps they have? AppTo lets you discover Android apps that your friends have and use.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sqwady.appto
AppTo is an app-discovery application that lets you discover the best applications that your friends have and use. AppTo shows you statistical data of your friends’ usage of apps and also helps you track your own app usage.
AppTo also brings you up to date information about trending applications discussed on Twitter and Facebook.
AppTo keeps your privacy – only statistical data is shared about your installed apps and apps usage. We will not let anybody (including your friends) know exactly what applications you have, unless you choose to share them.
Try these feature and many more in AppTo
and let us know what you think.
Brilliant
Brilliant idea!
This is the first app discovery engine I know that lets you see the relevant statistics of your friends usage.
You do not have to spend your time on creating apps recommendations - just keep installing and using them and let the automatic statistics mechanism of AppTo do the work for you.
Great android application
Simply install it, Invite your friends and let it work for you! Beware: looking for trending apps and following the list of popular applications among your friends is addictive
Since I started using it I am alomst always familiar with intersting Apps even before they are published or discussed.
I also like the ability to write comment on an app and it will be notified to my friends only.
A very useful and high-quality application. Thank you!

Proximity P2P file sharing app (ie AirDrop for Android)

Hello Folks,
We are two guys in a tiny office chasing our dreams, and our mobile file sharing app is about to go into Private Beta. We were featured by Android @ Google IO, so hopefully we have some tiny chops such that we won't be wasting your time =) We are looking for a handful of early adopter users who can play with the app and give us some critical feedback. The app is called Drop, and it is a simple, fast, and secure way to share files with people/devices in proximity. If you're up for the challenge, (and running Jelly Bean) then sign up at www.get-drop.com. Seats are limited, and we have a rolling enrollment, so hope to see you on there soon.
best,
The Drop Team
Wow, thanks for the overwhelming support on the sign-up gang! I woke up to see the sign-up console filled with names! I appreciate it folks! I didn't know file sharing was such a big and interesting problem, but I guess there's a reason why there are tons of file sharing apps in the app store, although they're mostly sub-par. Anyways, while I'm at it, if anyone would like to chime in, please list your top 3 features and 3 qualities you'd expect from a file sharing app. I'd love to include that feedback in the iteration process.

Open source app development

Hi guys.. first of all i'm new to android dev and this forum. so excuse me for any mistake.. The reason im posting here is i had an idea for an app i always felt need about and couldnt find on play store. I call it irevise.
Its a simple notes making app for students(yes there are many) but with a change. A homescreen widget with additional features to make it easy and convenient to revise/memorise the study material. am studying myself and so had started this project.. have got it into a decent app as of now for my use but there are many additional features to be added, and due to lack of time/expertise/funds i may never complete them all.. so came up with the idea of opensource. Ive released it under Apache license 2.0 on sourceforge. sourceforge.net/projects/irevise/
Invite you all to come and develop together to make this into a cool app
Am providing brief info below for anyone intrested..
Description
Well we all sweat trying to learn those nasty chemical formulae, or the weird biological names or maybe some antonyms and synonyms.Whatever it is anything which can make us learn our books better is just a boon. And when it happens automatically, its just amazing. This little appdoes exactly that. Now quickly make your own small notes for things you feel are difficult to learn.Save in the tiny I revise app,and add the widget. And it makes the notes available on your home screen so they cross your eyes every time you unlock your phone. And they get changed automatically so you get them all... Simple huh? Yes but very effective!! And with so many exciting features lined up it could end up as a really awesum tool.. So why waiting, lets code it !!
Features
Quick Revision Tool For students
Supports android 2.3+
Homescreen Widget (Auto Updating)
Backup/Restore Notes (to be added )
Share Notes (to be added)
Study Circle (to Be added)
Inviting everyone to work on the features mentioned and any extras which may be useful.. Also haven't been able to publish on play store as my old account was suspended by google(dunno why) and i dont have an additional card.. so apk also available there only...
its a nice oppurtunity especially for newbies like me to improve our sills, work as a team and get a useful app built in the process.. the biggies can always practice and show off their skills too
