[APP] Alarmpad : how to get it ?

Hi,
Are you guys able to access this application on google play store ?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mindmeapp.alarmpadpro
Whether I try with proxies or my own IP (Belgium), I always end up with a message from Google saying that the app is not available in my country.
I know that the developer stopped this project last year, but I am surprised not to be able to get it anywhere.
I also tried to download the apk for version 1.9 from various websites (free or pro version), and Windows Defender always reject the file stating that it's infected by a Trojan, so I start to wonder if this is a false positive or if Google detected the same and prevents the app from being accessible on the store or so ?
It's the first time that I am facing this situation, and I am very surprised and frustrated not to be able to buy this app which looks fantastic.
Let me know if you are facing the same problem or if you have a working APK backup
Thanks !

For those who are in the same situation and who may be looking for AlarmPad FREE, here is the APK of version 1.9.3 (I believe it's the last).
I am still looking for a way to buy the PRO version, and for now the only solution seems to be in the USA :/

I'm in the USA, and can't find this app in play store.

Thank you for the information Henry, then I have no clue where this app is available nowadays (it looks like it was widely available in the past).
Note that it appears that my previous apk downloads which were detected by Windows Defender as trojan were false positive since the same file does not trigger the warning anymore.
Too bad I can't simply by the pro version

Thanks for the links Stefano
Unfortunately even when installing the pro version from your post with the mindme pro key, it does not detect it as "PRO" (features are restricted as in FREE version).
I have the same behavior with this PRO apk which is the latest version I found.
I tried to contact the developer to know why his app is not available from the PlayStore anymore, but I did not received any answer so far :/

Well it seems you have to find a new app ... :/

I'm in the UK (used to live in the USA) and I couldn't visit the alarmpro page, but I could visit here and download the app to register it.

Old thread but I have the pro version. Don't know how the powers-that-be would feel about me sharing the apk. The developer has stopped providing support for this app and the backup service (which is why I bought it) doesn't work anymore.

Hello ParrotSquawk,
Thank you very much for the offer Actually I posted the pro apk here some time ago thinking it would not be a problem since there was no way to buy it anymore and development stopped as well, but the moderators didn't appreciate that...
For info even with the pro apk you cannot access the pro features, it somehow checks on google play if you bought it and locks it to free version.
I gave up on alarmpad for that reason. I wanted to use it because of its tasker integration, but ended up using ClockTask plugin. Not exactly the same thing but also very well integrated with tasker.
Cheers !

I don't know how much help this is, I was worried that I would need to find an alternative when i upgraded my 3½ year old S7 Edge to my Note 10 +.
Thankfully, despite being no longer available, it transferred over through SmartSwitch and is working fine except for the sign in/backup feature.
That said, does anyone else know of any other app that works like AlarmPad? It is a must for me as I'm on shift work and EVERY duty is different.

Old thread..but...
My biggest issue with this app currently is that the data can't be backed up anymore. If I reset my phone I have to create all the alarms and hashtags again. (My phone does not have root available).
If someone could recode it to backup and restore using an SD card ... That would be great.

Amazon Alexa on Samsung Gear/Galaxy Watch (Alexa Gear) - Beta thread

*** IMPORTANT ***
Beta is over; final product is available in the galaxy store.
*** IMPORTANT ***
Hello everyone,
This is the announcement of our new Gear (Galaxy) watch app. It is basically a full-featured voice assistant using Amazon Alexa voice service running on your watch.
Today, we will be starting a closed beta and hopefully if we can solve all issues, the app will be released in 10-15 days.
The application consists of a GUI on the watch and a companion app which should run on the Android phone. (only Android , no IOS unfortunately)
The Android companion app is released at:
Alexa Gear
Without the watch app, the companion Android application is useless.
We have a few known issues, and before a full release including watch side application, we would like to identify and solve all issues.. That's the reason of this closed beta.
The app supports following Samsung Watches:
Samsung Gear S2
Samsung Gear S3
Samsung Gear Sport
Samsung Galaxy Watch
If you are interested in beta testing, please see below notes for beta testers, and provide your information in the form of following example by sending an email to mrmrmrmr(at)gmail.com
Email Subject: Application for AlexaGear Beta Test
Email body:
Name: John Smith
Email: [email protected] (your email address used to login for Samsung Galaxy/Gear App Store)
Phone Brand/Model: Samsung Note 9
Watch Model: Samsung Gear S3
Phone OS: Android 8.0
Notes for beta testers:
Beta application will be open from now on and will be closed when we believe all required type of users are selected.
Applying for the beta does not guarantee that you will be selected as a beta user. We would like to keep the beta group small with enough sample of various watch/phone models.
Beta process may continue untill the application is released.
Beta download link will be provided to selected users starting later today.
Notes about the current state of the application - also important for beta attendees:
The app is not fully released and this is a closed beta. It may cause application force-close on your phone.
The debug version of the app may cause high battery usage on your phone since it is not optimized.
You may have to install Amazon's official "Amazon Shopping" application on your phone to login, if it is not already installed.
The current version of the app outputs the voice response from Alexa on your phone and not your watch. Voice response will be sent to watch in a later release.
We expect from beta users to share their experience in the form of following only. All other communication attempts may be missed (i.e. different mail subject or wrong form of mail body);
Code:

UPDATE : Login problem is solved ; now we don't need Amazon Shopping to login.

Looks good on the video, I assume you're using the Alexa API directly (hence the Amazon Shopping log in)? And it looks like you're sending recorded audio to the phone, not STT?
I'd offer to join your beta, but I don't use Alexa anymore
Edit: Just letting you know your Play badge isn't linked to your store listing...

You are correct. application is using Alexa API directly. Amazon Shopping shouldn't be required for the final release. App should be able to login using Alexa authorization. We are going to fix it before release, hopefully.
Thanks for informing me about the badge issue. It was originally linked to the Play Store listing but the image tag overwrites it. I changed to plain text instead of badge now...

Hi there, I've been after something genious like this for Google Assistant or Alexa but just sold my Echo Dot!
With your app are we able to ask Alexa questions and receive answers on the watch or does it simply route the question to the Echo Device?
Great work either way..

You don't need an Echo device.
Initial release will supply you answers on your phone.
In a later release we'll move the responses to the watch.

Nice one, this sounds amazing I'll definitely keep an eye out for this and buy once released. Can anyone sign up for Beta, I'm on Galaxy 8 handset + Galaxy Watch UK software version.
Cheers

But I am not sure if non-Samsung devices can attend beta. Samsung might have a limitation there. You can try.

mm i'm thinking to ask for beta test. i'm italian and i have amazon echo (i'm part of preview project to improve italian before official release in our country)
should i have time, i'll email you

UPDATE : Login problem is solved ; now we don't need Amazon Shopping to login.

OK, great I've installed both and tested a small amount, this will be amazing if you can get answers on the Galaxy Watch. Couple of things if I may.
1 - When asking for location based queries it can't answer, says I need to add to Alexa App (Not installed)
2- Says Spotify and Google maps not supported on this device when asking for them.
3 - App closes intermittently on Galaxy Watch when screen closes (15 seconds on mine)
I'll give it a good go later when children are asleep and report back.. So far though seems very good

Is possible to have this app in spanish?

final version in action....

- response will be sent to watch in 2 weeks. I know what I have to do, but it is planned for second phase. Priority is to make a release with no major problems.
- for location, timezone and metric units settings you have to use Alexa app or https://alexa.amazon.com settings page.
- Spotify and Google maps are not supported on Android applications by Amazon. I am sorry but this is not possible.
- What happens when app closes ? Do you see any errors ? What happens if you reopen it ? Does it work normally ?
Thanks.

it should support all languages which are supported by Amazon Alexa. But the language setting is not available yet. I will try to fix it.

I'm using a Google Pixel 2 XL and a gear S3. I don't see the app in the US store. Am I missing something? Cheers

You can count me in. I'm in the US on Xfinity Mobile on a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and a Samsung Galaxy S3

which store you mean ?
On Google Play you should see the app (the direct link is in first post)
On Samsung apps Store (for watch part) , you can not see anything because it is in beta, not released. (see the first post if you'd like to attend beta)

This sounds interesting, so I think I'll sign up for the beta. I just purchased recently my S3 and it is still in the mail.

I have the Mate Xs in hand. Feel free to ask comment and suggest

Got it here in UAE. So far no Google method is working from the Mate 30 pro thread.

Did you use phone clone followed by chat partner all with device ID?

How can I add Google pack into this device? I used mate 30 promethod which was working perfectly with that device but in this device it won't work. It keep showing me message "this device isn’t Play Protect certified"

Hello, I also Have a Huawei Mate XS and yes, I tried to do the procedure with Chat partner APP and device ID registration, but it doesn't work. You still can't login to the play store and you receive constant google play service notifications. Unusable. I've also tried to use the procedure described in the answers to the video (using Chat partner after cloning my old Huawei P30pro) but no luck.
I resolved to use the phone without google services, using APK Pure and Aptoide for missing apps.
Still there are apps that I normally use that just don't work. So far:
- Tesla;
- Couple of games I play;
- Revolut;
- Netflix;
- Gmail;
- google maps works but you can't login to google.
All in all I'm still pretty satisfied with the phone and I'm waiting for a definitive workaround for google play store.

Google package
If you have solutions plz post it

Have you tried VMOS apk? As a limited alternative there is also an app called G-Whizz plus and Gapps browser as a temporary solution.
Yes otherwise you need third party apps stores like spk mirror, f Droid, Aurora store or app suche.vone can use internet access to GMS.
VMOS don't dismiss without tryjng

Many current Huawei phones with Kirin chipset are not fully compatible with WMOS and vice versa.

I'm trying to get used to using the device Sans Google. Trying to explore alternatives and see how to reduce Google life haha.

Yes I have same situation here in Brazil. After update there is no longer google playstore available, location is totally bug and even downloading from other source the app does not run. I will check on Mi Community as well and let you know if I figure out anything over there.

As far as I know, in fact, your Google Play Store app has just been hiden. Download the latest Play Store apk, v23.2.11-21 or V21.2.12-21, and then install it on your device. You will find the Play Store icon appears on the home screen now.
You can get that apk from the well-known apkmirror or apkpure website.

Thank you for your prompt reply and information. However both versions and also the latest offered by the websites did not work. I really do not know what to do

After some research, I found the Google Play Store app had been renamed 'Google Play Services Updater' in 'Settings - Apps list'. In addition, the launch icon disappeared from home screens.
But it will recover when you install the later edition of Google Play Store.
If you need, I will send you the cloud storage link to the Google Play Store apk, v23.2.11-21 or V21.2.12-21. I think it will work.

Thank you! Now it is working!

Mx Player Pro Latest Version on PlayStore

Hi, I bought the pro version many months ago but it’s a lot that I don’t receive updates, in fact the app has remained to version 1.26.7; however, checking on the playstore shows that the last update is February 26, 2021.
Is all this normal?
also checking updates from the app says it is impossible to check updates...
Thank you!

Why is the Pro version so far behind the free version?
1.39.10 (September) vs 1.36.11 (June) as of current.
