Hi,
I developed an app called "myProfit" that is already on the Android Market as a free ad supported version and a paid Adfree version. Its a financial calculator to figure Profit, margins, markups, price increase, price discounts and for good measure I threw in a tipping calculator.
Its been up for a couple of weeks now and my free version is up to 450 downloads with a active install of 75% and a whooping 6 download for the paid version.
I haven't gotten a lot of feedback on it yet. There has been three ratings one 5 stars, one 2 stars and one 1 star (with one comment of "Ads are annoying"). I use Flurry to track the analytics and out of the active users there is a large percentage that use it multiple times on a regular basis, but of coarse they haven't rated it.
I was wondering if any of you guys could go check it out and see if there are any bugs or issues that I haven't caught. Any advice/constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!!!
I can't post outside links since I'm a new user so to find my app in the Android Market simply search for myProfit. It's the only app that will pop up.
Thanks for the help.
**The images I've attached are slightly different then the current version that is on the Market. Tomorrow I'm release another update to the app and these images are the new screen shots. The only thing that looks different is the calculate button.**
I updated myProfit on the android market, so the above attached images are now correct.
Please let me know any of your thoughts.
Thank you
Kevin
looks well, going in!
Cool!!! I'm excited. Let me know what you think.
Thanks!!
i think its smooth. the ui is kind of boring. looks like the market. good app!
how about adding finance managment? maby a in app purchase feature.
something like the person enters an amount that they have and can add to it or subtract with bank statment style looks. an option to export it would also be cool. also maby even integrate this feature with printershare or sim. apps for printing straight from the device. so much you can do. looks good so far. what do you think?
I really appreciate your input! I like a lot of those ideas. Don't be surprised if you see them implemented in the app down the road.
Thanks for taking the time to check it out!!!
The app is now published to Google Play Store.
Have you ever wondered, what you spend you money for? With Budget Book you can simply track all your expenses and incomes. Furthermore you can label them with a payment type and a suitable category. This enables you to use wide filters, so you can analyse for example, what you've spent your money for in a specific timespan.
+++Update+++
Great news!
We have something awesome coming! In the new version of the
Budget Book we introduce you to our new feature:
Statistics.
See at a glance what you spend your money on and how much it was.
Interacting with the feature we implemented in the most recent
update, the category editor, you can personalize the statistics with
your own custom categorys. This applies to your incomes, too. Just
click at the top of the screen on "Incomes by category" and there you have it.
We hope you'll like it!
PS: take a glimpse at the screenshots

On my Evo 4g LTE, I can't do anything. I just see a white screen, with no buttons or menu button. Possible compatibility issue?

Same on my HTC One S.. Just the white screen, and then it crashes..
Thank you for your feedback. I don't have any problems on my 4.1 Galaxy Nexus.
The good news: I also have that issue when running the app in an 4.0.x emulator
The bad news: I don't know, what's wrong there
I'll do some research on that and post here if I can adress the issue!

I just updated the App to a new version! The issues on Ice Cream Sandwich should now be fixed!
Have fun!
Thanks. Works fine now
Will start using this to keep control on how much I spend at my school restaurant.

I have a few requests for your app.
First, I want to edit something I have created. Errors happen, and have to write it again is tedious.
Second, a resume of how much you have. If you got 20 dollars, it would say a 20 down there. If you add a 5 dollars expense, it would show 15 down there.
Third, It would be nice if you could separate the incomes and expenses in categories created by user. For example, I have R$ 27,90 to spend on calls for carries except mine (for my carrier is free of charge). Then I could create a category called: Phone. I would set this 27,90 and, using the last mentioned feature, I would have a control of how much I still can call. Another category would be for SMS + Data usage. It costs for me R$ 0,50 for each day you use each, and I have a R$ 10 limit per month. Then I would have a third category. I would like to keep control on how much i spend at my school to eat.
I think it's pretty good, the explanation, but if you need something else tp understand, let me know.
What could be nice is a use of barcode scaner, you scan some product and you put a price, then every time you scan it, you will have an expense of it
I don't know if i have explained well ...
Another feature that could be great is to have diferents accounts One for register the bank movements and another to our home money xP

1. yes, definitely essential
2. I also had that idea, maybe the app can display a notification if you've exceeded your limit
3. I think this is very special...maybe later

1. sounds like an idea, but the problem is the information gathering, what you really paid for the product, because it won't be the same amount in every store, you know?
2. This is already a bit implemented, when adding an entry you can choose wether it's cash or credit card for example
Ok thanks, sounds great, hmm ohh but it can ask you if the prize is correct no? For example, you go to the shop, for buy, the first time you scan everithin you buy with the prize and the next time you go, if you scan the chips, the cocacola..., the app suggest you to put it as expenses
Like if the app reemember recurring expenditures from the past
I just re-downloaded it, and it looks great. I love the style and how it feels, but I do have some suggestions for you, if you get to develop it more.
1) Have accounts - I would love to be able to put my different bank accounts, gift cards, etc. on this, and track how much money I have left in each. Make it so I can put a starting amount on each account, and then subtract from there. Also to make special note of: transferring money between accounts. This was something I ran into with my project a while back.
2) Receipts - It has always been a goal of mine to be a better record keeper. As such, I would love to be able to take pictures of receipts and either upload them to a service for cloud storage or have them linked to from my SD card. This way I can back them up to my computer at home every once in a while and make sure I have everything when tax time comes.
3) While I'm at it, making it so that two users can share the same account... that would be amazing. Joint checking accounts are awesome for couples, but not if they don't both know what's going on.
4) Backups - I don't want to college months of data simply to have it wiped out if my phone goes south. Allow me to backup to my SD card, or, better yet, sending the data in an email so it can be backed up on any computer I have access from.
5) Statistics - We can track our money, and where it goes, but unless we can analyze our spending patterns, we can't see where we need to go in the future. Having graphs and charts would make this really nice to have. You already have the categories all set up, so getting the statistics (and statistics per account) setup shouldn't be too much more.
I have been trying to develop a reliable solution like this using PHP, MySQL, and jQuery for about a year now. The sad part is that I can't interact with the phone's camera like I want to, to allow me to capture receipts. I guess what I'm saying is, I'd love to help you out on the back-end stuff if you ever need it. I'd love to get this kind of project up and running, as I think it can help a lot of people in a lot of ways. Oh, and have you thought about uploading this to Google Play? Are there any limitations holding you back from doing that? I admire what you're doing, and think it's great that you are putting your talents to such a great use. We all need to be more financially savvy, and this is a great tool to help that.
Thank you for your hard work.

Hi m.ark,
thank you for your nice feedback!
Except your thrid point I think everything would be implementable - I also updated the "features-to-come" in first post (thanks to all the others for the great ideas!!)
Your third point is very hard to implement, but I keep an eye on that topic!
A vision is, that one is able to completely manage that stuff via a web interface, if the data is uploaded to google drive for example. Maybe in a late state we can think about collaborating on this thing?!
Regarding the Google Play thing: At the moment I'm not willing to spend the 20$ for the developer license if the app has not even a minimum of possible features implemented - a long-term-goal is definitely publishing this app to Play Store.
BETA 3
Just released and uploaded BETA3 - check the changelog and have fun
Beta 3 looks good, and runs smooth. I love the backup and restore option. It will be a real saver.
One thing I noticed: if you are at the home page, the only drop down from the menu is for backup and restore, but if you are in the backup and restore tool, the drop down menu lists only "Settings" but doesn't do anything. Just a small bug. Maybe have it go back home since there's no way to do that right now other than hitting back?
Once again, thank you for the awesome app. Keep us up to date on how you're doing, it'd be fun to see the progress you're making. Don't make it a chore, though, that's for sure.
How do you change the currency for this?

didnt notice the newsletter option before, just joined up.
Nice job :good:
Could you add a "Follow D-apps" button to allow user receive each new discount via Pushbullet?
@woomera Thanks for signing up. If you have ideas on how to make the newsletter more visible, or other ideas, let me know!
@M1ck Great idea to add Pushbullet support! I just added it to the website next to the twitter icon in the footer. Let me know what you think of it and whether it works ok.
More feedback is greatly appreciated (or just a thanks or it sucks ). And if anyone has more ideas for services we should implement (like rss, pushbullet, twitter, etc) let me know!
Thanks!

Its simple and efficient for now. More apps the better but other than that no need to clutter it IMO.
@woomera Thanks! Appreciate the compliment. I'm trying to get all the discounts available from all three platforms, everyday
More feedback is of course appreciated. And any tips on how to start promoting the website / attract more visitors?
Also, if you're a developer of an app (or apps) you can register for free and if your app(s) goes in discount the website will highlight it automatically.
Looking forward to more tips/feedback
More feedback is of course appreciated, anything is welcome Also, I'm quite curious if anyone is using the website or if not, why not. And do you think I should develop an Android app for the discounts as well?
Thanks!
An app version would be convenient. Maybe add a "search" button?
@pistacios The search function has been implemented And an app is coming soon
We just released a new design with new functionality to show the app discount love Check it out at d-apps.net and let me know what you think of it!
Some new functionality:
- Search!
- Follow an app if you don't want to buy it now so you will receive an email when the price changes
- Better overview of the apps
- Cool live animation to show how many apps are being checked
- And a bit earlier we also implemented Pushbullet support so you can receive direct push messages on your Android or iOS phone/tablet.
Looking forward to some feedback, thanks!
Some feedback is appreciated Negative or positive
An Android app is coming soon but to stay updated with the latest discounts you can subscribe to the Pushbullet, Twitter or subscribe for the newsletter.
Thanks!

As a developer I find it very weird that I need to register and pay to inform your site that my in app purchase is on sale.
I Can understand that you might want to ask a fee to put the app in a featured spot on your website, but I don't understand why it has to be this way just to get listed on the site. A Simple submit form would be easier. I Tried registering to add my apps discount that it currently has to your site, but I can not enter any information about the discount. My app is set so that it has a separate in app item for discounts compared to the regular item, this way I do not have to update the prices when the app is on sale. But I think it means that my app can not be listed on your site as being on sale?

Thanks for the feedback! The case you mention is an interesting one: not changing the price on the in-app product but adding a new in-app product for the discount.
Normally only changes in existing prices will be found and added to the website but in your case a form on the website would be the only way to submit your app since the system doesn't pick up the discount.
However, every app discount is added for free, only for being featured a developer can pay.
When you register and create an account (for free):
- The apps you add will be checked more often for discounts and if found added to the website
- The time between discounts before they get added to the website decreases from 4 weeks for unregistered devs to 3 weeks
When you use a credit for a discount (paid):
- The app will be featured on the website
- The app will always be shown no matter what filter a user chooses
- The time between discounts before they get added to the website decreases from 3 weeks for free registered devs to 1 week
But since you don't have a change in price but a new price for the discount I will try to implement a form where a developer can add information about the discount. However I do am curious what you saw that made you think you need to pay to be listed on the website so we can change that. Every app can be listed on the website Thanks for the feedback!
Or maybe you could fetch the price information from the in app purchases, I guess a developer would have to be able to select which in app purchases is replacing which in app purchase. The developer would also need to have to be able to specify the end date when the discount ends (and maybe even set a start date so you can schedule a discount in advance)
As far as why I thought I had to pay to list my apps on your site, I think I was just a bit to tired haha, it was late last night. I Was just a bit confused about that featured option, I thought it ment that to get listed on the front page of your website you needed to pay, but I now have seen that there is a separate featured list on the front page.
@Cubeactive We're working on implementing it like that, thanks for the feedback! I hope you did get some rest after all
Does anyone else have some feedback on the website and/or tips on how to improve it or be more useful to the end user? Thanks!
Nice to hear. Make sure to post an update here when it's done, I'll really want to take a look at it to see if it can be used in my situation.
We just released the brand new Android app "Discount Apps" which offers the same interesting discounts as D-Apps.net does.
Some features of the app:
- Get push notifications and set filters for your notifications
- Add apps to your favorites and get push notifications when they go in discount
- Sync your favorites list across devices and receive notifications on set devices
- Login support for Google, Facebook and QR code
- Filters on Platform, Category, Discount type, Percentage, Rating, Reviews, Price
- Translated to English, Dutch, German and French
- Discounts listed from US, United Kingdom, Canada, Netherlands, Germany and France
Get Discount Apps here
All feedback is welcome! It has taken quite a while to be able to finish the app so we're really keen for any comments (really, any). Doesn't matter if it's a "Sucks" or "Muah", we'll read it
That includes you as well @Cubeactive
