Hey XDA!
One of our users wondered why there wasn't a thread on XDA about our app Happening, so here I am starting exactly that
TLDR; join group 'XDA users': https://happening.im/t/AQTRKNJSM (join code 'AQTRKNJSM')
Happening is basically a (group) messenger, but unlike any you've seen before because of how it offers an ever growing selection of tools and games that can instantly be used by all:
Get to know your friends even better with the Ranking Game and see what they’re up to with Selfie Time
Have fun together drawing and guessing stuff with Sketchy, race each other taking themed photos to earn points in Photo Hunt
Organize a fun activity with the Event Planner and split any costs afterwards using Split The Bill
Those are really just a few of the possibilities the app offers - think of Happening as a "a messenger on steroids”
If you think this sounds interesting, I would love for you to come and have a look at Happening by joining a group with fellow XDA users. I'll be there as well:

Really hoping to see you there and very interested in any feedback you guys might have, thanks!

Hi all, I'm a Singaporean developer and I'm here to tell you that I'm sick of idiots posting/bragging their daily life on Facebook, I mean, if you want to do that, why not do it so that I can ACTUALLY use that information next time? Thankfully, I'm a developer and I can actually do something about it.
WHAT IF, those stupid FOOD pictures taken at the restaurant actually POP UP the next time I am hungry and near that area? WHAT IF those slutty clubbing pictures could actually help me pick a club when I want to go? So here's my solution.
Spawt is a location-based experience bookmarking service so now you could actually point those idiots to the app and actually end up building a beautiful scrapbook of experiences that you and your friends can mutually share and discover.
Features
- Bookmark a great experience by creating a Checkpoint.
- Contextually discover interesting experiences from fellow Spawtters based on your current location.
* Spawt believes that your friends' experiences matter more, so your Facebook friends' Checkpoints will be treated as first class citizens.
- Builds a catalog of Checkpoints that will serve as a scrapbook of experiences for when you need an inspiration on what to do next.
- No need to create a whole new social network, leverages your existing Facebook network.
* Note, we send NOTHING back to Facebook, your privacy is MY topmost concern. (I should know, I'm a Facebook cynic.)
Download the app and tell me what you make of it, and most importantly how I can go on making it better for you and your friends. Search for "Spawt Beta" or get it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5jdHJsZWZmIl0.
PS: Oh did I mention Galaxy S2 kicks ass?
PSS: Oh also, if the app does crash, and it will, please click Report so I can fix it so you can swear a little bit less when the next update comes.
nice

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.

Hey Guys,
We're a new startup - WriggleApps.com - and we're getting ready to release our very first app... "What's This?"
We've tried to take the usefulness of photo sharing and combine it with the popularity of social turn-based games. The idea is simple: take photos, edit them using fun filters (such as blur, spin, pixellate etc.) and send them to a friend to guess "What's This?". You can earn coins by guessing photos correctly and use these coins to unlock new camera effects in the game.
We're hoping that this app will appeal to existing mobile photography fans and gamers, but we also believe that it might open up photo sharing to a younger audience who are looking for something a bit more fun.
Anyway, description finished. We're weeks away from launch on Android and are really looking to get some people playing now so we can receive feedback. We'd appreciate any help you can give! If you're interested and want to get your hands on a free copy before everyone else, sign up here: WhatsThisGame.com and we'll send you a copy.
Stay cool!
Ross & Ed, Wriggle
Hi guys. I wanted to drop by and let you know about a personal finance app that just launched today on Google Play called Pie Budget.
I know that you're probably thinking by now, oh great, another budgeting app for Android, there are already tens of apps like that on the platform. True. But very few have both a complex budgeting system AND are beautifully created with Material Design. Actually, I could probably count the ones with Material Design on a single hand. So this really limits the amount of apps that are really useful and also look great.
You can contact the developers either by leaving a comment in this thread, by shooting an email at [email protected] or even using the links below .

Give it a try!
Hey guys. Lead developer from Pie Budget here. Please let us know if you have any feedback for our app. We're more than glad to hear you all out.
Nice app, but i prefer showing icon of expense category rather than user photo.
hi....thanks for this, just tried this out today. Being a salaried guy, loan and fixed expense management is one of my top needs but in this I can add only transactions expenses, not keep track of investments, Loans and balances....or am i wrong
DrawChat It's a fun way to chat with your friends, parents and colleagues, drawing the message itself.
In this way the communication is very personal. All the messages that you send is different from each other. You can let your imagination go and draw something special to anyone you know or keep in touch with your contacts in a new original way.
All users can draw their messages with a simple black pen and by paying only 1€, they will receive the drawing personalization with colors and various drawing features.
Here are the links to the stores Android and iOS, if you like it please leave a review on the stores

Hi guys! I have sent some updates to DrawChat app!
I almost reach 1k installations from the launch! In addition, recently I had some bad reviews on the Play Store with reasons still unknown to me about phone authentication :crying:.
Can somebody help me find what doesn't works with that authentication? Thank you very much!
