Greetings,
I've just published my first app on the market. So I'm trying to get a little exposure
NumberFun is a brain excercise using basic math equations. Here is a link to my blog which has a screen shot and instructions in the app's introduction post.
http://jrdevapps.blogspot.com
It's on the market for $0.99
Back in mid development stage, I posted a question about how to get debugging to work with the ViewSonic GTablet I bought using Eclipse for development. Got a lot of good tips and help, but unfortunately never was able to debug on it.
But alas, I did get the app developed and test on several devices. Works great!
Anyway, I would greatly appreciate any takers
Thanks very much in advance.
I think that your first app should be free...
Hmmmm...
That wasn't quite the response I was looking for.
But thanks for giving me a peek anyway.
You may be right, but I couldn't see putting this out there for free with the amount of time I put into it. There was quite a learning curve (unfamiliar development environment, SDK, never had a device before this, etc).
I agree, you would probably expect a first app to be something quite simple and under the above conditions, maybe not put together very well. But, if I do say so myself, I think I did an excellent job for a first try. At least no testing has had any force closings ...and I've tested the h... out of it.
Anyway, I appreciate the input.
I agree, at least for a time being. Since it is your first app you are most likely looking for feedback on what you did well, what not so well, and what to change so your next app is infinitely better right out of the box. You are more likely to get that feedback if your app is accessible. I'm not saying this because I want your app free, just trying to be helpful
Ok...I AM new to this, and maybe I should have considered that. I'm afraid I can't undo it now.
But don't let the fact of it being my first one scare you away. It really does work well.
Thanks for the advice.
Maybe you can publish a "lite" version with lesser features so that your users can get a feel of the game. I believe it might also lead to more people buying the paid version. Just a suggestion
Sent from my GT-I5801 using XDA App
You may be on to something. But, that would at the very least be a challenge to find a way to take functionality out of it.
Let me think on it
OK...It's now free on the market
I've listened to the replies about making the first app a free one. Also, Further testing with other people have given me ideas on better functionality. Consequently, I've put in several improvements and just published the free version (NumberFun Lite).
The original NumberFun has been upgraded with those improvements PLUS more!
So feel free to give it a try. If you like it, please give some feedback on the Android Market.
Thanks to all for your replies.
Has anyone tried this??
I'm just wondering if anyone from this forum has given the game a try.
I appreciated the responses I got when I first started this thread. Bitter tasting advice was given out as I was not prepared to modify the app for a free version.
But, I heeded what was being said and came out with a free version as well as a better paid version.
So now they're out there. Yes there have been 50 to 100 downloads of the free version...but I'm not getting ANY feedback besides one comment from a co-worker
I'm only asking that if you have tried NumberFun Lite, to please leave some feedback (either here or on the Android Market). And If you haven't...Why not
Not a bad game, but better graphics and sound effects would be nice
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I thinks that I will try it in my HTC desire.
Thanks for your great work.
Hey enragedpaza,
Thank you for checking it out. The feedback is priceless!
Yes, better graphics is one area I'm now exploring. I've never used OpenGl before and I'm purging through tutorials on this.
Again...your input is greatly appreciated.
tanks vey much
very tanx much!!!!!:good::good:
This is a promo app that plays Devine's 1st single, "We Fail" , off their first album titled "14 Steps to Stone"
: : : DEVINE : : :
Devine is an American heavy metal / Hard Rock Band blending elements of Rock, Hard Core, Metal, and Hip-Hop. However, this band is unique for more than just their sound but also in their peculiar arrangement. The band not only remains spread out over the United States but for nearly a year, and after a completed recording no one in the band had ever been in the same room!
for more to the story go to www.devineband.com
watch the music video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ai33ZbWRIs
This is an awesome band I have been doing a lot of work with
This app was created in App Inventor because I have no idea what im doing but it does the job of letting people hear them and getting the word out lol
If anyone has a marketplace account and is willing to post this on the market for free then let me know!
Why would you bother to come on the Internet to post if your gonna hate?... {Edit: good to see the hateful post's deleted}
The basic principle of it is pretty great actually; I'd love to have a couple of my songs (per say) featured in a app that can be deleted, instead of having people download my song's & then have it get lost in their folders. They can delete it if they hate it with ease, or have a link in the app to your iTunes/Music page if they like it.
Everyone...
Just because a project here doesn't include you in the scope of people that it might be relevant to, that's no reason to come bashing those who created it or who are interested in it. If it's not for you, just move along....
oh god i'm embarrassed to have ever heard this

Thanks, all people have to do is not post if they dont like it lol
and thanks for looking
Can I just say that if you don't want feedback or opinions, constructive or otherwise, then a forum really isn't the place to be announcing your app.
I thought this forum was a place devs/users could gain feedback and discuss apps, if you aren't prepared to take the good with the bad then why post?

Because this is for people to offer constructive criticisms about the app, not needlessly hateful comments. Saying "this app sucks because i don't like the music" is not helpful in the slightest. We are supposed to be rating the app, not necessarily the music.
By the way, this is a brilliant idea for an app. I think NYGraFFit1 put it best

Thanks man, means a lot from you... I wish I knew more about programming though so I could get away from app inventor lol
What an interesting and curious way to hand out band demos. Great work!
[Edit] How about adding a progress bar for the song?

I was going to offer to throw it on the market for you, but I'm pretty sure you can't with AppInventor apps (I'm not sure, I'll look into it). I know you at least didn't used to be able to, but things may have changed.

That guy seemed to have put his app on the market somehow and he did his in app inventor too, so it is possible?
Hi xda-developers,
We are about to launch PadKite in the Android market and we are currently collecting feedback from real users. Beta version now available for download at padkite web-page. As a new user we are not allowed to post links, please let us know your feedback on the application. You can also subscribe to our Beta Program. We are eager to hear your opinion.
PadKite is also an excellent app for tablets so we are also looking for people to test it on their tablets. Whether your multitouch device is a phone or tablet. Your feedback is very important to us. For any questions, please reply to this post or contact us at PadKite Contact us.
More about PadKite™: PadKite™ is the first multi-touch mobile mouse created to manage the tiny content on our cellphone screens. Never fumble or miss a target again. Breeze through favorite websites in a flash with customizable multitouch gestures. Post media and text to Facebook, Twitter, and blogs, all at the swoop of a fingertip.
Wow! This looks like an awesome tool!
There's only Éclair and Froyo versions available though, I'm running custom Gingerbread on my N1.
I tried running the Froyo version on my N1 anyway, but it Force Closes as soon as trying to open the app.
Any ETA on a Gingerbread version? I'm quite eager to try your product!
They said a GB compatible copy will be along soon.
I really wanted to try it but it force closes on me.
Always wanted to tryout multi-touch...
nice stealth edit trololol...
Sounds interesting, I'll check it out.

They included the complete libwebcore.so in there effectively including a complete web browser in their so called mouse driver. What up with that?
Just sitting and clapping my hands :]
looks wonderfulll .. Did anyone try it already ? does it seem safe and real?
btw: So I've understood that it is a browser like dolphin and others. .. does it include Flash? (btw does it have hebrew as other browsers?)
Hi xda-developers,
Hope you are enjoying flying the web with PadKite, the first multitouch mobile mouse.
Yes, it is a web browser. It includes extended Webkit libraries that makes it heavier. Hopefully these will be able to be submitted into the WebKit build on the near future. The application does not include Flash for the moment and does not run on top of the OS or other applications. As a new concept we are starting small running as a stand alone browser aiming to grow bigger. We are braking the mold on multi-touch interaction and that has to be gradually. As you might have notized it has a lot of potential.
Currently we are making adjustments in order to run in all versions. This requires a lot of effort however it will allow PadKite to run in almost all devices. If you want to run on a Gingerbread version, let us know via our contact form and it will be delivered shortly.
Some users have experienced problems with Android versions of FRG83D and FRG83. We are currently looking into this and we will come up with a solution shortly. If you have problems, running PadKite on your Froyo, please contact us via our contact form too or join our beta program. We need as much information as possible from our users (especially your Logcat). Also, take part in our beta program and you will be the first to get updated on new versions.
Please follow PadKite on Twitter and get up-to-date info on new builds at padkite account.
Thanks for helping us make PadKite even better!
Cheers,
Jose Vigil
RoamTouch CEO
looks great, I'm looking forward to trying it when its available for Gingerbread.. also it would be great to get the adobe flash integration working.. But looks like a great concept, original and useful.
Bumping this, as it is a clear winner as a productivity tool, but so few people seem to have heard about it. I'm a huge fan, and that's based on only having seen the videos, as well as it partially working on a mate's Xperia X8 (the X8 lacks multi-touch, so is unable to take advantage of some of the more powerful features, such as text-selection via second finger-rotation, although as a pointer it works perfectly)!
Hoping they get back to me soon with an offer into the Beta program, as I'm dying to get this app! Also hoping they take it further, and fast, so that it becomes an integral Android feature, rather than just a browser tool.
This is a game-changer, people, so get on board and bring your family and friends!

Don't hold your breath on this one buddy. I gave up. I recieved 6 APK's from the dev...not one of the worked. FC every time. I was working on it with him for quite a time, and it never worked. Seems to only work on one or two phones.
Won't be holding my breath, but certainly won't be abandoning hope! If those who have been able to get it working could post details of which model phones they have, as well as the models that haven't worked, plus current Android version, the devs might be able to narrow the issue down. Not sure if I'm able to start a new thread, being a noob and all, so if people could list the following in this thread it would go a long way towards getting us what we want:
Phone model
Android version (stock or rooted)
Whether it worked or not, and if not, at what stage it crashed, plus any further comments.

Send the dev any info you like...it didn't help. I was in contact with him for a few weeks. I don't 'abandon hope' unless it's time to abandon it. After emailing back and forth for a few weeks, then not hearing back from the dev for the last 3 months, I would say it's abandonment time.
You do what you want, and I'll do what I want, and never the twain shall meet.

Well thank you SO much for your diplomacy. You must be new here. I was just sharing my findings. Did you even notice the last post before you necro'd this crappy app...was from Feb??? There is a reason for that.
Good luck with getting things figured out around here.
Crappy app, perhaps, but only in terms of its failing to work for most who've tried it thus far. The idea itself is a brilliant one, I believe!

95% of brilliance is implementation.
I can think of a bazillion good app ideas...but making them actually work is where the real skill is. I am upset with padkite because they seem to have spent all this time on making a website and sharing the idea...then they spent 2 minutes actually BUILDING the app...and it's garbage.
This looks fantastic. I downloaded and try to join beta program, to improve your software.
And 14mb is nothing, nowdays phones have 1gb or so of ROM space. Or move it to SD card.

Are you suggesting that they faked the videos of padKite working on the Motorola (Droid?) phone? Because unless they did indeed fake the videos, then they had the app working on at least one phone! Obviously more than 2 minutes were spent, and I'm guessing the problem to be overcome is actually a rather minor yet befuddling one.
As stated earlier, I've seen padKite partially working on a mate's Xperia X8, so we aren't talking vaporware, here. Please, Mean Mr Mustard, change your heart and let hope in, and encourage others to do the same, instead of working against what you've already acknowledged is something good enough to upset you by virtue of not working for you.
There must be some out there who've been able to get padKite at least partially working. Chime in, fellows, and let's make this fairy well again!
hey folks,
I started a new blog dedicated to Android gaming news and reviews. I know what you're probably thinking, yet another gaming blog. Even so, I would love for you guys to just take a peak. It's called The Android Arcade. I know there have been folks trying to start up a blog but fail to make it through their first month but my team and I are seeing this to the end. I have staffed the site with great writers and we publish articles at least twice in a day (more as folks start discovering us).
We have also created a dedicated game section where you can quickly see which games are worth your time. Think of it as a curation of the noteworthy games. The list is scarce at the moment but we'll be adding a lot more soon. The game section could be found at:
http://games.theandroidarcade.com
So I hope you guys stop by and check us out. If you have any suggestions or games you'd like us to cover, please let u know. A phone/tablet app will be released in the next couple months
Cheers!
I've seen your posts on /r/Gaming every now and then. Keep it up, man! I check every one of your posts! My username on Reddit is Noontoker17.
Not very professional, I know.
I appreciate the support. We like the /r/androidgaming subreddit to be sure to check us out there too!
Yeah, that's what I meant. /r/AndroidGaming. Whoops.
Looks a lot more professional than Droid Gamers

Looks good - you might want to consider doing percentages and recommendations. Works really well the way they do it on theregister.co.uk and when the stick a "recommended" sticker you take note - especially if you're covering a large number of games.
Always good to have some more decent reviews!

Hello fellow XDA community. So I just done wrapping up my first ever app on android. It's called peek now, it's a pretty minimalistic android lockscreen replacement yet it has quite some features that the stock android lockscreen doesn't offer. Thus now I'm asking for you guys' help and please just try out my app and let me know what you think, so I can deliver a better app and experience to the future users. Many thanks!!

Good app, so far stable, nice icon, great job!
for some reason I can't install it.
It stops at 100% doing nothing else.
would you be able to provide me with an apk? i could try to install with that
(HTC One M8, Lollipop 5.1 BlissPOP ROM)
*EDIT*
nevermind, had some issues with play store, installed without a problem after a reboot
**EDIT**
wooow good job :good:
the interface is very clean and has all the core features needed.
I wasn't able to go through the tutorial because i wasn't able to press the "got it" button but it's very intuitive.
keep goind :good:
