Tell me if this sounds familiar to you.
You just finished uploading the app, you worked on for months to Google Play. Now everything depends on getting good reviews, but alas…
Some users think the review section is a support forum and give you 1 star ratings because of it. You could answer them in the Play Developer console, but having a conversation that way is tedious.
Other users give you a 1 star review because your app just is not what they were expecting (even though it does exactly what the description says it would). Again, you could reply to the review in the developer console, but that’s a waste of time. The offender might not notice your comment, resulting in it getting buried and the 1 star rating dragging you down forever.
There are those particular assholes who see 1 star reviews to blackmail developers into changing the app according to their whims. Of course, by the time you deliver (assuming, they were demanding a reasonable feature in the first place), they have completely forgotten about their promise and the 1 star rating stays in place.
You inevitably get 1 star ratings without any comment at all. These are anonymous! You are not only not told what’s wrong, but don’t even get the chance to contact the user to remedy the situation!
All of the above can easily get your blood to boil, but let’s keep in mind, that not all of these users are necessarily assholes. Some might just not know better, don’t realize the harm they are causing and can be convinced to change their rating. Only problem: you’d need to contact them first, but Google isn’t making that easy at all!
So, want a solution? Here’s mine, the Raccoon Review Browser!

Using RRB is pretty straight forward. You just give it the (package-)name of your app and it downloads all reviews matching the filter settings. Clicking on a user’s name will then open their GPlus profile in your webbrowser. As a bonus, RBB will even show the users who only rated, but didn’t leave a message.
Note: the Raccoon Review Browser is not a standalone application, but depends on the Raccoon APK downloader, so you need to install that first.

Hi guys,
Besides of that I work ocasionally on some interesting project I am also healer who does energetic healing. My new project is based on both technologies. I was thinking of how about to connect the healing energies and our beautifull devices and get out of it as much as possible. And came to interesting idea…
From time to time we all suffer from annoying sindrom called stress. Well, I did extensive research on what causes it on energetic level of the body and included my findings in the application that came out of it.
The result is apk, very simple to use yet very effective in stress removal. I named it Virtual Stress Remover and all that needs to be done before the use is to settle in a quiet place, relax as much as possible, press the button, set the intention (focus) of thoughts to internal bodies environment (best at belly button area) and close your eyes for next ten minutes.
During and after that period you will experience you will experience release of tensions, preasures, contractions etc. in your mind and body physiology, your thoughts will become clearer and brighter, there will be more peace in your psyche and body etc.
First use of the service is trial and is fully functional, all additional uses are payable via PayPal mobile library. The more you use the service the more your body will learn how to do it by it self, so after a certain time your body will be equipped with adequate knowlede and skills to release it. Knowledge and skills of doing it can not be tought by books, it is experiential learning in fashion learning by doing.
You can read more about it here: Mod Edit: Links Removed what actually happens in bodies vibrations describing the condition.

@tomazf:
sorry, in common i'm far away from being rude, but in this case i will make an exception:
PLEASE keep away from here with that esoteric shXX, and DO NOT TRY TO RIP PEOPLE OFF!!!
@all:
please do not spend your hard earned money for such crap, i can assure you that it's totally nonsense!!!
MODS!!!
please delete this post and ban this "guy"!!!
Due to the app basically being paidware, this is not allowed in this area of the site. Moreover, your current membership status doesn't grant you rights to feature this app in the Paid section either. As such, I am going to have to close this thread.
Hi All!
So last year I created a thread here about an app that I had just released. I got a lot of great support from this forum so I though I should come back and give an update about the latest version!
It's now available from the market, and there have been a lot of significant changes. So here are a few screenshots:

The premise of the game is the same as always. You play the game on a map view, using you actual location. Zombies must attack survivors and vice versa. As a survivor, when a Zombie gets your health down to zero you will turn into a zombie. If you are killed as a Zombie you can respawn as a survivor.
The game has a leveling system, so you can level up as you attack users, and increase the range with which you can attack.
I'm also working on some pretty major features at the moment, as I want to integrate real world locations ... but that's all I'm going to say on that for now. I think the biggest news, however, is that there is also an IOS version in the works ... not that any one here would care but you will be able to distinguish between android and IOS users, and attack accordingly.
There is also a facebook page where I post pre-release versions of the app for people to try out.
I have thrown together a temporary website (while I try to find time to do something proper), which explains the game a little more. I have made a pre-market version available here, which has all of the latest features.. just waiting for a good time to go live on the market.
As always I would love to get as much feedback as possible!
Thanks & Enjoy!
Hi,
Nice app!
I gave it a try today.
I was lucky enough to find a player in my neighborhood but unfortunately he was a zombie, like me.
So my first suggestion would be to allow to respawn as an opposite kind.
Because basically I just cannot play since the closest other player is > 100 km from me!
Cheers.
Thanks! If you email [email protected] with your user name I can add some NPCs in your area. This is a beta feature so I ask people to request.
Cheers,

Studio Forum Thread: http://is.gd/pocketfountain
It's finally here!
Hot out of the baking oven, [in]Sanity Interactive presents to you, Pocket Fountain, the fountain that will never run dry.
This program is more of a screensaver, rather than a game. We are planning to add other things into the project over time, however for now, we wanted to push it out the door, and show off what we've been developing. We also found that some people relax or sleep better with the calm sound of water flowing, so we decided to make this app to benefit them and also bring a bit of Zen into your life. Put your phone into it's cradle, launch the app and relax/sleep better.
How much does it cost?
It's free, and [in]Sanity Interactive would appreciate a donation if you find it useful. We will not put ads in this program - we do not want to ruin the beautiful graphics with ads that demand you click them in return for free smilies. You can make a donation to the team at the studio's forum thread (see below). This is completely optional, we're not begging.
Devices Supported
Any modern day Android devices. You will need to have at least a ARMv6 Processor. We have tested numerous devices with various ARM CPUs, but if you want to confirm that your device is compatible, give us a bell and we'll add it to this list. Please note that cheap phones that use CPU-rendered graphics are likely not to be supported - give it a shot but don't expect it to run as expected. Please see the studio forum thread for more information, along with some devices that we've tested.
Notes
The program will try to keep your screen on while the fountain is running. Plug the device into a charger, as having the screen on running the app may cause battery drain since it gives the GPU an exercise. For best performance, use the app while the device is docked and charging.
Downloads
Available through Google Play. See this page in the Play Store. APK available upon request.
If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know - we'd be eager to work on your idea and make the program better!
Okay guys, shameless bump, but updated the post to reflect the actual release of the program!
[APP][4.0+] ✱✱ Got friends snooping around your phone? Bust them with CrookCatcher ✱✱

Greetings fellows
I've created an app that might just solve your everlasting battle with privacy, or something of that effect.
Are you afraid your phone or tablet might be stolen or is your little brother, annoying friend or perhaps untrusting girlfriend snooping around your phone behind your back? Do they even continue to say that they're innocent of this horrendous privacy infringement? Then download CrookCatcher and bust them on the spot! A photo and location will be sent to your email when intruders are caught trying to unlock your phone. Stick the awkward selfie up in their face, and I can almost guarantee that their nose will stop "growing" at once.
Features
• Take photo with the front facing camera on incorrect unlock attempt
• You select the number of failed unlock attempts before CrookCatcher takes action
• Find location of device
• Receive email notification with photo and location
• Uses the default Android Lock Screen
• No services running in the background = little to no impact on battery
• Browse photos with location on the device, with (what I think is) an intuitive interface.
The Concept
... is not entirely new, several apps doing somewhat the same already exists in Google Play. I, however, found these to either be build on a jerky design that was hard to comprehend and navigate, or I found them too expensive - and that is why I created CrookCatcher.
CrookCatcher is namely, designed to be simplistic and easy to figure out. A setup guide is build into the app, which lets you set the few things necessary up with ease and speed. And, best of all. CrookCatcher is free, and no, that doesn't mean ads instead. CrookCatcher is free to use. If you like the app, if the app has even helped you retrieve your stolen phone or tablet, and you want to show your appreciation, you can make a donation from within the app to help support a hungry nerd and keep development going.
Get it on Google Play https://play.google.com/store/...

I do not believe that XDA allows posts to advertise paid apps without having at least a free version available. You may want to check up on that.
Against forum rules. Post a free version also or this thread will get locked and or deleted.
