Introduction
Sometimes I forget how long I haven't met some of my friends. And I don't want to forget that. So I've made «Friends».
«Friends» is a journal-based app. You write about your interactions with friends and app tells you how long you haven't met them. When the magic number of days passes, entries turn from grey white, which should (in my design) encourage you to interact again.

Links
My app is an open-source project, so here is the repository. Folks not in favor of Google Play Store may find fresh apk there.
Feedback
This is my first android app, so I would be glad to receive any feedback. Here is my telegram, in case you love it as much as I do.
Especially I would like to hear about errors. I want to get rid of them all, so your feedback might be a great help.

App future and contribution
As I said, «Friends» is my first android app. I want it to help people. And I have little experience in that. So I would be glad to receive help or advice on the next things.
Design
I am using an almost default android theme. It's ok for starters, but I want my app to be nice and beautiful.
Are there any good guides on mobile app design? What colour should I use instead of that bleak green? In-app animations are must, or not?
Features
Have any ideas on that else «Friends» might do to benefit users? Don't hesitate, tell me.
Wording and app name
I wrote most of the in-app text in a hurry. Sometimes better wordings come to my mind and I apply them. If some in-app text doesn't feel right for you, tell me.
Also, the name. I'm still in search of the good one. «In touch»? «Quality time»? «Call your mom»? If you have any ideas, I'm all ears.
Promotion
So far, I've shown «Friends» to my, well, friends and some corners of the runet. But I want more. My friends recommended to write at reddit, medium, dev.to and I'm planning to do so. Heard that there is such a thing as «landing page». Might do that too.
Would love to hear anything on single-handed promotion. What steps you've taken, where to go first and all that.
In search of The User
How do you think, who might benefit from my app?
Some of my polyamorous friends are enjoying it and that's sweet. I think support groups might find it useful, but am not sure. Networkers? Huge family members? Folks who need to check on their clients from time to time?
How can I connect to all these wonderful people? Are there any organizations or campaigns I might get in touch with?

Thanks! Didn't knew about that thread.
Added a night mode. What do you think about it?
Also changed app icon color from bleak green to the same shade of yellow as used in app. Love the color, but now it doesn't feel connected to day mode of an app.
I am such a forgetter. Thanks for sharing
@Oswald Boelcke, very useful thread
@trulden good job with the app. The new icon seems far more attractive. I think you will get better results with it.

I want to introduce my first android application.
The application is an android frontend for bugmenot.com which allows you to bypass compulsory registration.Enter the website address you are trying to access, click get logins and the application will search bugmenot database for log in details. Once they show up simply click the copy button to copy login details. No more registrations from your mobile device.

Nice app, but the site never works well. It's just a place for spam

I experienced the complete opposite.
So the app is a really good idea, keep working.
Setting favorites and/or history would be great.
Ability to vote too!
History is coming in the next version. I also plan to integrate it with Share menu so that's it easier to use it.
Do you think it would be possible to make the look more like "Holo"? Or at least an inverted colors version so we get a black background?
I will try to improve the interface too.

I released a new version yesterday which allows to switch between dark and light themes. Please give it a try and let me know how it looks.
New UI with a new version:
BugMeNot was cool years ago. Site owners have been using it to poison the well, so to speak, lately. I think they run a script that checks BugMeNot for accounts, and then removes them or bans them (or bans the IP of anyone who uses them -- I hit that once, wouldn't even let me sign up for an account since I came from the same IP as someone (myself) who tried to use the BugMeNot account). Somebody needs to reboot the service with a way to prevent the same thing from happening. Otherwise it's better to just make a throwaway account.
There are still many sites where bugmenot accounts work.

I haven't checked on this in a little while but thanks for that! I like it much better with the black background.
Well, this is my first ever attempt on google android app development. I just wanted to share it here. Let me hear your comments, critics, feedbacks etc.
I know there is a lot of room for improvement in this app.

All the facts in this app are funny, cool, informative, real and verifiable. The app comes with regular in-app updates from our facebook page, official website & twitter account whenever there is an update. So there is no end to the facts. Almost every day you will get new facts unlike many other cool facts apps. Also all of these facts are true as we are a team of people who care about the quality of our work. Most of the facts will be verifiable using wikipedia and other trusty websites like Nat Geo, Discovery etc.
Features:
Swipe Left or Right for next or previous facts.
Random Fact & Latest Fact Buttons.
Twitter sharing button. Amaze your followers with awesome cool facts.
Links to our Facebook, Google Plus & Twitter pages and to the official website.
A never ending list of cool facts.
This is the official http://www.coolfacts.in Android app. We're very happy to announce this app for all our android fans.
No feedbacks?
App seems nice. It could be interesting to have a widget instead of opening app and I don't like when then text couldn't fit the page that you link to the site to read the rest of the news.

So I think it should have a scrollable text view for the facts so that I don't have to link to the website?
A widget for "your daily fact" is an awesome idea, thanks for that!

Yes I was meaning that
The idea is pretty good, a widget would make it great !
Even more with the new DayDram mode on Android 4.2 you could have your facts randomly displayed when the devices are docked or charging.
Could be fun.

Done that and updated the app. I will try to come up with a widget options soon!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Can any one please download it and try it out. I am sorry I had to ask this, there has been some issues after the latest update. It would be greatly appreciated if you can check it opens on your mobile.
I just wanted to know whether this is happening for new installations!
This is the video promo I created for this app. Hope you guys like it!

Somebody please help me and give me more ideas!
Did a UI improvement, let me know your thoughts!
Nice work
Cool Facts App just ahad a major UI revamp and now supports a lot more compared to the previous version.
Some updated functionalities include:
* Report false facts
* Copy the fact to clipboard and use/share it wherever you want!
Hope you like it, let me know your suggestions!
Force closes when I press "copy to clipboard" but other than that, cool.
Personally, if I were you, I would add a possibility to hide all the buttons at the buttom of screen for users who wouldn't use them. Maybe make the text a bit smaller (it's bigger on my 2.3.7 Gingerbread than on your screenshots, though) and maybe make the text "justify aligned" (I'm a bit fan of "justify alignment", lol)... Just some tips to make the app look a bit more simplistic, maybe.

I think I can include a button to toggle the visibility of all the buttons! that would be okay right?
I think the clipboard function is making the error because of your older version. I think I will have to check the version on which the app is running and then decide whether or not to show the button!

Possibly.
Make a text size adjuster too, if you can .. and maybe center allign the text if "justify" is not possible in Androd (I dont think it is).
Just some tips
Added button to disable all the buttons!
Let me know how do you like the new update!
I like facts, so I like this app . It is also a bit addicting searching for new facts which are more or less useful to know .

You are right.
But so much information available in Google can be little bit boring.
In this app what I have checked, required and concise information is provided.
Yes bro. I tried to search like that, all I got many links and of course wiki. I got all info, but took much time and that to so much not that important too. Another thing, if I am browsing this info in my droid, it is tedious. But, an android app like this is helpful that time.
We have done hard work in collecting the data from different websites and created this app with the most suitable and concise information. Yes, this app will be handy in checking out the info and also can be a good reference for students.
Information graphics or "Infographics" are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge intended to present complex information quickly and clearly. They can improve cognition by utilizing graphics to enhance the human visual system’s ability to see patterns and trends.

Does "greatest messaging experience" mean real time push notifications?
Just downloaded,loving the clean UI and customization available, I'm certain that you may not know but I'll ask anyway: What are the chances of Twitter releasing the API to 3rd party developers to out group DMS Into apps? If they do that, this app will be beyond just useful. I'd use it in my daily social networking.
