This was kind of a bust, unless you are a gamer. Only a few productivity apps a couple of live wallpapers and a bunch of games. Sure I bought some but would have like to seen more of a broad spectrum offered.

Love it, was about to post the same. I think google is stealing back those who got the apps fro free from Amazon. Genius move, I bought them.

Great...bought two apps for 20 cents

Sweet! Apps on the cheap. Thanks for posting.

Is it the same 10 apps every day?

Nope. 10 more get included every day. All of yesterdays are still 10 Cents
Here is a list of yesterdays.

SketchBook Mobile
Paper Camera
Sound Hound
Asphalt 6

SwiftKey
Minecraft
Endomondo Sports Tracker Pro

Bought 4 more....so spent 60 cents in total

I'm glad to see these offered to fight the Amazon App Store, as much as I like some of the apps I got from Amazon. That whole have to have the Amazon App store installed to run the program is kinda annoying

I agree. Plus it is always running in the background and that just makes me irritated.

Nice. I was expecting some fairly crappy apps. Wish I had seen this yesterday though. I've been wanting Swiftkey but it's not $0.10 anymore, and there's no way I'm forking over $4 for a keyboard.

SwiftKey was $1.99 over Thanksgiving Weekend, Lol. Where were you?
Yea, I was pissed seeing it for $0.10, but not a biggie.
I also already have Read It Later Pro and Beautiful Widgets. I bought SoundHound and GLWG, and SketchBook. Oh, and the Sports Tracker app. That seems like it may be useful in the future, so why not get it while it's cheap
AirSync looked Useful until I realized it requires DoubleTwist client and only Syncs iTunes stuff. I uninstalled iTunes from my PC and tend to use my Vibrant as my main media player now, because it has built-in MTP support and syncs Natively with Windows Media Player (I don't think many people realize the Galaxy S phones can do this! Video, Pictures and Music!) over USB without having to use USB Mass Storage Mode - that is probably why Samsung never bothered to release Kies in the US... Almost all Windows PCs here come with WMP preloaded, anyways... So I'm skipping it.
I might get Fruit Ninja. I'm not a fan of loading my phone up with huge downloads, though I already have it on my iTouch, though... I read some reviews complaining about sluggish performance, but they never mentioned what device they were trying it on. I think the GPU in this phone is more than capable of handling that, though, Lol...

Haha. Just haven't looked at the Market lately I guess. I grabbed Minecraft as well since if they handle it like on the PC it will only get better with updates. I've had Fruit Ninja for a while and it runs great. No sluggishness at all. I'm excited to see what they have the rest of the 10 days now...

New list is out. OP updated

I installed Amazon Appstore to get the free Pocket Informant, then uninstalled it and realized the apps from there have a DRM in them that don't let them run if their Appstore isn't installed. I got rid of everything immediately, Lol.
Not hard feelings, though. That Pocket Informant app has like 100k configuration options, and I didn't want to deal with that, anyways...
Hopefully Google gives it away soon, though, haha... I snagged ADW. One day I may try it and see how it runs. I don't want to now, though, cause I like some of the Stock TouchWiz widgets... I heard it lacks some of the UI latency in TouchWiz, though...

Thanks for keeping us updated on the market sale's! Hopefully Titanium Backup Pro will pop-up as one of the 10-cent apps.

Yes

Bah... Don't wanna have to do that. I guess I'll just suffice... I hate how half of those apps auto start when the phone boots, though... It's really pissing me off because they take up RAM and cause my other apps to get shut down when I background them. WTB moar RAM lol
My roomate installed ADW Launcher EX and had one of the biggest stutters/lags/freezes I've ever seen on a smartphone when I asked him to press the home key while he was in an app. I don't think I'm gonna touch try that, Lol.

Good game for the Nexus?

I am not a huge gamer and I don't want to play a game that involves throwing around my Nexus or hammering the screen, but I would like to play a game that's fun and shows of the device. Can anyone recommend a decent game that looks good on the Nex?

Cheers, shall try it

Best game for me by far is Pinball Arcade. This "game" is a simulation of some of the most popular real life pinball machines that were distributed all over the world from multiple manufacturers.
I've been involved with Pinball games for years both real and virtual and I can tell you the physics and gameplay on this simulation is very very good. To put it truthfully there are guys that have been trying to emulate these real life pinball games for years over at VPForums that haven't come even close to this quality. For a guy that has played these particular games in real life and in multiple formats virtually ( thanks to VPforums ) this is as close as it gets to having the ultimate pinball fix. Plays fantastic on the nexus7. Don't let the price of the tables sway you they are worth every dime, you can tell someone spent a whole lot of time on these to make sure they play just like the real thing.

Dude you made my day with this post.
I already had 22 of what I consider to be the top-notch games on my Nexus 7 (which I've only owned for about 6 days now) and I thought I was pretty much done with what was available in the Play Store. Until you posted.. I've already bought four tables and I'm sure I'm going to buy the rest.

Gaming performance?

I've been looking at this as my next tablet, it sounds different and I like the note taking capabilities (having been a Galaxy Note user for years). I don't really game very much if I'm being honest, but I don't like the idea of spending quite a bit of cash on a tablet that's particularly slow. I've trawled around for Geekbench 4 scores and it's coming back at around 1100 single-core and 3100 multi-core.. I can live with that, it's ~3x faster than the Nexus 7 that I'm using at the moment and compared to my Note 4 it's 10-20% faster. Compared to say the Pixel C, which was the other tablet I was considering, it's a bit slower in single-core and about the same in multi-core benches. However, that doesn't really give me much of an idea about gaming. As I already said, I don't really do much gaming, and it's unlikely that I'll do anything much more taxing than Candy Crush, but I don't want to buy something that is overly slow in the first place.
To anybody that has a Yoga Book, what games have you run on it? How has it performed and how does it stack up against any of your other devices?
Cheers in advance.

As for Windows 10 version goes:
- Hearthstone - running fine
- Terrarian - running fine
- Armello - fine on low/medium details
- Portal 2 - running fine on medium/high details
- Torchlight 2 - generally ok-ish but slows down significantly with more effects/mobs
- Mirror's Edge - slideshow even on lowest details
The issue with Windows version & games is that Halo keyboard has issues (see here) so if you are going for windows version, get external keyboard or game pad.

Cheers for that, good to get some actual real world feedback. I'm likely to go for the Android version over the Windows one, however if you can run actual 3D games that were aimed at fully fledged PCs only a few years ago, then I should hopefully be ok running Angry Birds
Anybody else tried something like Real Racing 3 or Goat Simulator or *something* that is to Android devices what Crysis was to PCs?

Hello
I just got the Android version. I have also been wondering about gaming performance. I have been looking around for some information regarding the performance. It seems that the CPU part is comparable to the Snapdragon 810 and the GPU is comparable to the Snapdragon 800. I don't think the GPU part is as bad as it sounds, because most devices using a more powerful GPU's, is also using a higher resolution. But i tried a few games out to see if it run them.
Games:
Modern Combat 5 - OK
N.O.V.A 3 - OK
Riptide GP Renegade - Ok - At default setting (High) but the game suggests lower settings. But the highest settings is made for the Nvidia Shield tv.
Limbo - OK
Colin MCRae rally 2 OK (But you get a warning about possible performance issues. But i didn't notice any)
Newer Alone - OK (It didn't show up in the Playstore, so i installed the game from my cell phone)
Lost Journey - OK
Rayman Adventures - Not OK (Stops before you can play)
Rayman Fiesta Run - OK
Rush Rally 2 - OK
Virtua Tennis (Sega) - OK
Field Runners 2 - OK
Robo Defense - OK
Sonic 4 Episode 1 - Not Ok ( Runs in slowmotion)
Sonic 4 Episode 2 -Ok
Deus Ex The Fall - OK
Crazy Taxi Classic - Not OK ( Hangs while loading)
Wings - OK
Leo's Fortune - OK
Monument Valley - OK
R-type 1 & 2 - OK
Raiden - OK
Minecraft PE - OK
Super Soccer Champs - OK
Emulators:
Amiga 500 - OK (UAE4Arm - IK+ and Pinball dreams Using the Keyboard)
Commodore 64 - OK (C64.emu)
Arcade - OK (Mame4droid 0.139 and FBA4droid - CPS 3, Neo geo and more)
Nes - OK (Nes.emu)
NEC Pcengine - OK (PCE.emu)
Sega Megadrive - OK (MD.emu)
Dreamcast - OK But not all games will run well. But that the way it is with most devices (Raicast)
Playstation 1 - OK - (EPSXE)
Snes - OK (Snes9xEX+)
GBA - Ok (My Boy)
Quake3 - OK (Q3-touch)
Doom - OK (D-touch)
PSP - OK But not all games will run well. But that the way it is with most devices (PPSSPP)
Half Life / Counter Strike - OK (Xash / CS16Client)
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

To add to the Windows 10 version, TESIV Oblivion (and by extension, Morrowind) run fine on medium settings with the view distance still far away.

The nVidia Shield exclusive Strike Suit Zero plays remarkably well. Unfortunately the game doesn't listen to the halo keyboard, but it does have controller and touchscreen support.

Hi! I have a Lenovo Yoga book Android version and I cant run ppsspp emulator, It stopped before I can open it. How can I fix this

Try downloading and older version from official website.

I had the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition before I got the Yoga Book.
I play:
XCOM: EW Graphics are awesome compared to the Note
Star Wars: KOTOR Same as above
Block Fortress War Same as above
Hitman Sniper Same as above
Games not working right.
Block Fortress Everything is inverted
Call of Duty Strike Team It loads to the main menu but I can't get pass the campaign load screen.

I'm also hesitant between Galaxy Tab s3 and Android version of Yoga Book. I mainly read and brows plus I play Unkilled multiplayer regularly . Does the Yoga handle smoothly Unkilled, Dead Trigger 2 etc. I'm coming from the excellent Galaxy Note 2014 /still in use but now with terrible Chinese battery which somehow makes the software act strangely/ . I'm considering Yoga Book cause it will save me money for Xperia XA1. I am on the budget and trying to maximize the utility.

Yoga Book is a great replacement for the Note 10.1 2014. I had shattered the screen on my Note. It is well worth the price new, even though I got it used for half the price.

How will this tablet work for mail, browsing and social media? And compared to the Galaxy tab 3?

Having the Halo Keyboard is great. Being able to have floating windows is nice.

Can you run warframe?

I´d like to know if someone has tried on the Windows version League of Legends and Medieval II Total war, and how is the performance on those games. Thanks.

Curious if the Windows version would be able to run Minecraft mods (through Technic Launcher, Twitch, etc.) and games on Steam like Stardew Valley, Nier: Automata, DanganRonpa, etc.
Not expecting phenomenal results, but if it runs at least Stardew and light Minecraft mods relatively comfortably, then I'd be happy.

Lenovo Yoga tablet on windows is a must-have device if you are always on the go and need an office machine always to be around. It is small and compact and would fit in a tiny bag. The advantage of having a windows version instead of android is because you have a fully equipped office machine and on android, you are a bit limited to the system therefore on windows you can do whatever you want to. Also, I was curious if anyone on this forum plays cs go as I do. A few hours ago I bought a legendary knife and wanted to ask if this knife is worth something if someone knows the game. Thanks in advance!
