Hi everybody,
My name is Anna and I am from Germany.
In January my husband Alex and I launched a new app called Comparator Pro. It's our first app project and we would like to introduce it to you.
Unfortunately, I still can't post links here, but you can find it by its name 'Comparator Pro' at the google play store.
There is an iOS version also, you can find it at our website: app.comparator.pro
We hope, you'll enjoy it and we would be glad to hear any comments, advices or some words, what do you think about it.
Thanks,
Anna & Alex

Better add description, requirements (technical and functional), cities/countries/currency availability if that matters, collaborative database? How do you deal with spam, accuracy/fake, similar products, etc? Routing, map view?....

First of all thank you for your feedback,
I'll try to answer your questions
There is no special currency or country requirements. Our app is now available worldwide and you can use it anywhere. The thing is, that the country or city, where people most actively use the app, exactly in this country or city it will show the best profit.
The only one restriction by searching prices and products is that you can get the information about it only in the country, where you are at the moment of using the app. If you go to another country or city, you will accordingly get the information about it.
At the moment there is a special algorithm dealing with spam. The user's involvement will be rewarded with bonuses by improvement of the wrong or not actual database, for example, special offers or sales, which change currently.

If you haven't seen it: http://www.scroogled.com/ (it's by Microsoft--their name is at the bottom): "When you buy an Android app from the Google app store, they give the app maker your full name, email address and the neighborhood where you live. This occurs without clear warning every single time you buy an app."
App developers: do you actually get the real names of everyone who downloaded your app? If so, that's not that private. I don't download these kinds of apps (haha), but does this mean that the developer of Korea Sexy Girl Puzzle could release a list of the real names of everyone who downloaded his/her app? And, what about locations? What is the purpose of knowing the zip code of who downloaded your app? This issue isn't that big (unless you live in a very unpopulated zip code), but I don't see the reasoning.

Preferably, if you're an app developer, I'm just curious what exactly you see. But, if you're a non-app-developer, if you have legitimate information, I'd be interested. And not that it matters, but I'm an Android guy. This post isn't some Microsoft fanboy trying to start a flame war. Just want to get some facts, as I'm a little hesitant to trust one company's claim about a competitor.

sour grapes ? win 8 sales are not good so why not lets do some mud slinging on android. but I am not a developer and I am too eager to learn what a developer would have in reply.
OK, this "sharing" is the same sharing done by Amazon, Etsy, and "everyone else on the internet." Developers, like Amazon or Etsy peeps, agree not to share the data. The data is required for financial transactions, apparently. Source: http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/09/mi...ogle-developers-need-to-process-transactions/
Microsoft, apparently, responded with this:
"Google also claims that sharing this information is necessary to process your transaction and maintain your account — that is, to issue refunds, reversals and payment adjustments. But, similar stores — including the Windows Phone Store and Apple’s App store, don’t do this, because it isn’t necessary for an app maker to have your full name, email address and ZIP code to process the initial transaction, issue refunds or handle customer service issues. Google could easily provide more anonymous means to handle these transactions."

We have just launched a campaign on Indiegogo website. About our new project which we really think is going to change the world. It’s a mobile app for restaurants,
a kind of social network but not limited to that! You may learn more about it here: igg.me/at/kindchef/x/4836930
Honestly, there are two reasons why I am talking about it here:
1) we have introduced some perks(gifts), that you mau find very useful and profitable.
2) the second reason is to spread the word about the campaign because we won’t be able to change the world if people are not supporting the idea… so if you even
just share it you have helped us a lot.
I hope this post is not looking like a shameless self-promotion. I never do that it’s just that the idea is so big and revolutionary that I think it does sound
righteous to talk about it and may sound very interesting.
Please visit the link above and find more information about it for yourself.
The most important way that you can help us, is by sharing the campaign link with your friends.
Please feel free to ask any questions,
Best,
MyFlashlab team.
Necessity of restaurant mobile apps.
There are number of benefits of developing a restaurant mobile apps for business owners. From a couple of years, holistic mobility solutions including restaurant mobility solutions really a make sense for online business.
In modern technology world of restaurant mobile apps, there are number of features are available that get benefit to both the end. Business owners as well as customers.
Kindchef- Innovative
kindchef app is a very innovative idea. it will allow restaurants to run flash sales for very specific times, make use of QR codes to automate checkouts, and has said it will help restauranteers even run their businesses better. Very best wishes on your app and if its a success it will surely thrust the restaurant sector into the 21st century with a bang.
Good afternoon everyone,
I have been thinking about an app that my company could use when staff are sent away on weekend events.
The company hires our PDQ (payment terminals) to various markets/fairs/events throughout the country. They are based in London, with most of the events being further out in the country (Telford, Oxfordshire, to name a few). Whilst at the event I would like for our customers feedback, complaints, questions, concerns, ideas, notes on our equipment, e.t.c. to be logged using a tablet, rather than pen and paper. I feel the most effective way to do this is creating our own app. It does not have to be pristine, with a professionally chosen colour scheme, perfect graphics e.t.c., but a simple app that is user friendly and just works. Ideally we would be able to upload an Excel spreadsheet to it, containing customer details, that can be displayed using some form of table/report layout whereby notes can be added. So, for example, 50 customers and their details are on the spreadsheet, it's uploaded to the app and each one can be opened individually. A signature section to confirm receipt of the equipment would also be a fantastic bonus. Once the event is over with, it would help if the report can be pushed/emailed in a usable format (again Excel would be great) so that certain parts can be extracted and used in various other reports.
So my question is... Am I completely mad for hoping the above is achievable, or extortionately costly? Or is it relatively simple considering the advancements in app making and the kinds that are available today? Could a relative novice be able to make it, or is it best reserved for a Pro?
Any help, questions, suggestions, silly remarks welcome.
Thank you

That certainly is a nice idea, but unfortunately it doesn't seem very realistic.
If anyone was to attempt to create that, it'd definitely need to be an experience app maker, as the code required to make an app like that is astronomically difficult.
Meh. :|
Scaling it back...
OK, I thought that may have been a lot of 'blue-sky' thinking. How about if the information was entered manually somehow and then notes were made on each one?
It would be great if each event could be stored on the app and looked back over for reference if need be. Say if the customers information was entered using the app creation tool, then a signature was taken and saved as an image, perhaps a picture of it can be taken and then uploaded to the app?
To the app developers... Is there something based on my proposal that could be made more easily?
Thank you
Hello All,
I've been a mostly lurking member of XDA for a long time. I'm a tech journalist writing for The Inquirer (www.theinquirer.net) but I'm posting about my new role, which includes taking over the software reviews in Computer Shopper (UK) - the biggest selling print mag of its type. For the first time, 'software' is going to include apps. So I'm inviting devs and publishers to submit their apps for review consideration.
Rules are as follows:
1. Your app must be finished. It's in your own best interest not to send a work in progress.
2. Your app must be available in the Google Play store, and if there is a paid option, I need access to the full version via code, no apks please. Also outline all IAP please, so I know when I review.
3. Games are welcome but I'll be upfront and say that apps are more likely to get space than games, but try your luck if you want.
4. Apps must be new - either since the start of 2016, or had a major update/revamp/version
5. Submitting an app does not mean you will get reviewed. There are a millions of apps on the store, and I get two pages a month for software.
If you're interested, please PM me with details of the app you're proposing and I'll let you know if it will suit our audience.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Chris.

You should check Trese Brothers.
Hello everyone,
We're trying to create a new open-source app distribution platform named Spheris, using blockchain technology. We are really interested in your thoughts – both devs and users. We're also open for possible collabs for those who are interested.
We’re utilizing Ethereum’s blockchain technology to build Spheris as a decentralized platform. This makes a lot of cool things possible:
No registration and transaction fees, as opposed to traditional app marketplaces who charge up to $100 for registration and 30% per each transaction. No technical restrictions or censorship. Optional anonymity. Forget about the need for credit card companies or banks – you will be able to buy and sell apps using our digital currency (Spheris tokens), with the option to exchange for other digital currencies (such as Ethereum or Bitcoin).
Customers will be able to purchase apps without going through registration and without credit cards. We’re also trying to accommodate devs whose apps have been removed from Google Play for questionable reasons.
Your Feedback = Extremely Important
We are in the early process of gathering valuable feedback from devs, and see if this is a platform that devs would like to be on. For users – do you guys see this as a platform you would buy apps from? Would love to start a discussion! For devs - have you had bad experiences with app stores (de-listing, ranking issues, not being accepted etc)? Does the concept of decentralization sound like something you might want to be a part of?
If you need more info, have a look at spheris.io or just ask me here.
Your questions and feedback are much appreciated,
Thanks
PS - apologies if this isn't the right forum for this topic!
