I mean like getting access to something to test and delete or pay for if its good, as I dont want lots of debits and credits trying and refunding on my bank account.

There is a way to test out some of the paid apps. It's called "downloading the demo versions."

Once you buy an app you can try it and if you wish to, return it for a full refund within 24 hours. So that is exactly what you need.

Why is everyone so concerned about "obtaining" applications anyway? Everyone is happy enough to steal windows mobile and android OS's

Difficult to steal android as it's opensource...
And I wouldn't take Windows Mobile if it was free.
If someone is charging $.99 for an app they're not exactly going to be rolling in cash from it in the first place - if you start stealing the apps then they may just give up and not bother. Anyone can afford to take the risk of a couple of crap apps at those prices.. and if you really daren't risk a dollar then there are always reviews.

Because we don't like to be associated with thieves, maybe? It may be that bad, that there are be people reading this who has actually written those applications you are trying to "obtain".

Asking for Paid Apps For Free is confusing, especially when we have a strict no Warez Policy.
I know this is not about Warez but it could become about warez very quickly and some sharp users have pinted this out by reporting this thread.
It is therefore closed.

[Q] Make a trial app last forever?

So i installed this app and its a free version of a full one. it only lasts 30 days and I want to keep it forever, but I don't want to pay for it especially because i'm only a young teen without a job.
is there anything i can do???

Honestly, save some money and buy the app.
The developers of the app deserve it, even more so if you really like the app. :victory:

Discussion of warez is not allowed. This is your one warning. Any future warez-related talk will result in infractions being issued.

Forgetting the legality... any good movie downloading apps?

We've all been down the route of free music downloading (don't understand why people pay for something you can get for free), and I was wondering if anyone knew of any good apps that can be used for full movie downloading. Not looking for Crackle or any other pay-per-movie app, if I wanted to pay for it I'd see it in the theater, buy it, or rent it.

Maybe one may like to support the creators? Developers? Producers? A lot more? "Forgetting the legality" cannot be done here. Also, no, there are no apps which would allow that.

You should already be well aware that is a type of discussion not allowed on XDA. Obtaining any paid item for free is not only illegal, but is a complete violation of forum rules. Consider this your one warning on the issue. Thread closed.

Picasa Folio

Google is starting to p*** me off more and more lately.
I use or should I say used to use an app called #Picasafolio to manage my #Picasa photos. It's a paid app but the best at what it does and is reasonably priced.
The dev has always been really responsive and usually has a resolution to any issues the same day. I was having some problems relating to the 4.4 update and downloading folders. Emailed the dev who chased down the issue and pushed an update to the play store. Updated last night but didn't try it till this morning. Had an issue where I couldn't login so contacted the dev who responded promptly with the following email:
'This is because Google has terminated the app for apparent violations of copyright. I've appealed but this looks like the end of my business.
Thanks,
Brian'
Checked the play store and sure enough a search reveals nothing. No explanation as to why the app is no longer there, nothing.
I feel angry on behalf of Brian who is a dedicated developer for the android market, no notice, no attempt to resolve the situation, just the app removed from the play store and an email.
I'm one of the lucky ones who are aware of what's happened but what about everyone else who purchased the app? This app has been in the store for a long time so the decision to pull it now seems ridiculous.
Surely as Google Play being a middleman then they have some responsibility to the buyer. After all if I purchased something on Amazon which later didn't work etc I could contact Amazon for a resolution.
There are still plenty of apps on the Play Store which perform similar functions so why remove this one.
I've purchased plenty of apps via the playstore but from now on unless I can get them through Amazon I will have to look for alternatives. I'm not spending money on something just for Google to decide they no longer like it or it no longer fits in the terms and conditions.
Still bloody annoyed with Goggle!!!!!

Yep. I have multiple devices with PIC backup so having something like this is essential to manage the auto backup folder. Since Google has blocked the OAuth the app is now useless.

Well suck me sideways..
This explains why I can't find it in Play store from my tablet..
:crying:

Anybody know how to raise a complaint with Google about this?

Some good news! ?
I have republished the app on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snapwood.pfolio, addressing the most likely reason for the ban (app name). I have no assurance that Google won't ban this app as well, but as the rest of the app had been stable for at least a year, the app name was the likely reason.
I was able update the app on Amazon, so users there will be receiving an app update to fix the login issue once Amazon approves it.
For Google Play users that want to continue to receive updates or want to avoid the login workaround, please purchase the new app and send me the email address used to purchase the original app. I'll refund that prior order so everything comes out even in the end. I apologize for this mess.
Thanks,
Brian

[Q] I need some calling apps that dont charge connection fees

sorry not interested in kakao, line, or viber type apps. I need to call out to family in a village up in the philippines. Anyone have a list or anything? there are too many f'ing apps on google play and I don't know which one is better. Some seem ok, but have outdated comments.

You need a app that can call landlines basically. There are a bunch of them I've tried rebtel, global call, noble...err i forget the name. I don't know what you actually mean by 'better'. You should try Global Call, its probably the cheapest at the moment, that is if you buy credits.
I did you a favor and found a promotion link they're having from their fb page. Basically you buy an XX amount of credits and you get that same amount back. ( I cant use it since i dloaded the app way back last year). But you can and show your thanks by sending me some credits :laugh:
Anyways, here you go bro, Global Call bonus page.
When it comes to voip apps, I usually stick to the less popular ones as they need to 'give' more than the popular brands to attract customers.

Sweet man thanks. do you know if it works with wifi? no mentioning of it on the page you gave me. I installed the app but i cant try it out until i purchase credits.

PC with internet, you can use LINE or SKYOE
Android/IOS with internet, LINE or SKYPE can call to PC client.

Well, if a computer is involved Magic Jack would be the cheapest. But for calling other phones both mobile and landline, Global Call is the cheapest by far. You should check out their promotion in the link I posted earlier. That is, if you've never used it before, as the promotion only applies to new users.
