Hi guys,
I am starting to develop an app to be used to search for a product on an online store. An similar style/type of app to the eBay apps etc where products can be found under categories and using search filters.
The website for this store already works in this way and has a basic mobile site with all of these features, the latter of which is not aesthetically pleasing in any way, which is my motivation for creating this app.
Just to clear things up - although i am relatively new to app development, this is not my first app, and I am in no way new to android. I am not asking for someone to 'ned hlp pls c0de ths i noob' so i can call it my own without giving credit. I purely want your opinion on the best way to go about this and any other advice you may give.
I want the app to have the same search features as the mobile site, and to parse the results into a much nicer looking interface, including the images and specifications of the product. This is the first time i have needed features like this in an app and am not sure how to go about it, any help would be greatly appreciated.
What do you guys think? Have any of you developed a similar app?
Hi everyone,
I am part of a small tech start up from Manchester, UK and we have recently created an app using Phonegap. Don't know if many of you have used Phonegap before but it has many limitations. However we are using it as a first try whilst we learn how to make a native app.
I wanted to ask for some feedback about the Android app (we've made an iOS app also but Android is something we want to work on more) as I've received mixed reviews about it's appearance etc.
The app is to help users discover emerging music videos. If anyone could take a look and give any feedback/advice I would really appreciate it and take it all on board. Similarly if anyone else needs any feedback or constructive criticism I would be happy to look at other people's apps.
This is the first time I have posted on here but I wanted some developer advice and I hope I haven't broken any rules/guidelines.
The app is called Rormix - just search the Google Play Store
Thanks, Emma.
Hi,
Your app looks good. My first advice would be to follow the Android Design Guidelines. For example on the the action bar. Those three dots on the left are confusing. Maybe these links can help you

Hi guys,
I`m trying to promote my app through various app stores. I`d like to do the best I can. Which stores should I use? It is a free lifestyle app about astrology and feng shui. I`m using Google Play and App Store and I`d like to upload it to GetJar, SlideME and maiby AppBrain as well. Are there any other options? Or if there is any marketing guru, could you help me please? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you! :cyclops:
Appstores for promotion
Try Amazon appstore and 1mobile market.
As for marketing you app, here is a guide that might be helpful:
1. Before app release
2. During app release
3. After app release
I recommend theandroidgalaxy.com, a good website for android app reviews.
I have heard good reviews about GetJar - will be testing it soon myself...

Downloaded beta and installed. I'll have to try basketball , I don't follow anything really other than NHL Hockey. It's my passion and I would love to see that added in time. Thanks for the cool app and good luck.

I'll make you a deal
If you're willing to recruit a few more hockey fans to join the beta we'll add NHL by Wednesday.
NHL is a go

Nice! Made some predictions. The prediction bar for hockey is huge, but that's fine for now. Didn't want to give a 20pt advantage to any hockey team.. Seen a few others that seem happy for hockey too. Ready to see how this works out for tonights games...
Chris
Hey also, thanks a bunch for your app and sharing the beta! Hope the best for you!
Thanks for the feedback. We have a plan for a variable sized prediction bar that will have more appropriate upper and lower bounds for each sport. If you think of anything else you'd like to see in the app we created a subreddit http://www.reddit.com/r/smax as a home for general feedback and discussion.
Hi,

As I just introduce my dictionary tool into Google PlayStore, I would like to invite everybody to try and give review to it.
In return, I will do the same, just let me know you review name on my app once you are done, and your app name so I will review it for you.
LangLookUp is a multi languages dictionary, and a translate tool to serve for your daily convenience usage. Imagine you are watching TV and see a new word popup, don't let it obscure your mind, tap on LangLookUp on your device to unveil it.
Besides dictionary look up, it also translate sentence, allow you to share content to your friends, and it can speak too ! How about having an mp3 file saying "you've got new message sir" assigned to your new message alert ?
Just seach for LangLookUp on Google PlayStore, you won't be disappointed !

Hi there, many thanks for that
Already done for your two apps, they are all great (see binh khac nguyen's comment), good luck !
Looking forward to see next developers' visit to my app LangLookUp on Play Store
Reviewed LangLookUp!
I've checked out your LangLookUp and made 5* rating in russian language! You definitely should improve UI design (at least sprites and icons, at most UX). I liked translation examples which can not be found in Google Translate and I find this feature very useful! Also I could not check the feature of inline text translation (I'm using HTC Incredible S + Android 4.0.4). Next, there are some stability issues on my phone (however its old and not very common nowadays).
I'd be happy if you could check out the Epic Ball Game: Space Soccer and support it with 5*
LangLookUp's thank you and done !
Hi IPSUS,
Many thanks for your review on LangLookUp, I also found it's UI not good yet but as I am not good at UI myself, I will have to look for someone to redesign it for me soon.
Regarding your game, i searched "space soccer" but it won't shown in my Google PlayStore, then i searched for EpicBallGame and found it. I think this may feed some thoughts on your naming strategy. It seems to me you want to keep both names, and not willing to sacrify one
Very nice EL and good game, I am done reviewing it, check binh's comment
Looking forward to see next developers' visit to my app LangLookUp on Play Store
Best regards
BackMusic - Reverse Music Quiz
It would be very nice if you would also check out my app.
It's a music quiz in which you have to guess your music in reverse.
Just search for "BackMusic" in the Google Play Store
Try LangLookUp
Hi BackMusic
Please try LangLookUp on Playstore first and give it your review and let me know when you are done
I will be ready to try BackMusic then, it seems to me your quiz is a new idea, I hope that will get big success.
Best regards,

City Photo Quiz Pro review
City Photo Quiz Pro is the app that invites and challenges you to find out exactly which city you are specifically looking at on your app.
Crusia B.V.’s app is designed to allow you to visit all of the most scenic places and cities in the whole, wide world, all right on your handheld device!
It's available for IOS and Windows Phone devices, and will soon be available for Android too!
This app features gameplay that is the best of both worlds: It is simple and extremely addictive all at the same time. There is also an element of riddle-me-this involved.
You are going to be shown four, unique pictures, and then it’s your job to figure out just which city you are looking at.
Of course, you have a bunch of different tools that you can use in order to figure out what you have to figure out.
If you do get stuck—and, hey, it does happen to the best of us—then just simply fall back on a large variety of hints in order to help you out of your tough guessing bind.
Alternately, you also have the choice to petition all of your friends from Facebook for some extra help.
Please check out this app for review.
Done
Hey I reviewed your app, the review is titled 'Nice app'. If you could review mine too I'd greatly appreciate, the link is here:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.madlabgames.breakerfree
Done for bertsy
Hi berty,
Thank you for your rating and review, it's done for you too, please see comment Great
I like this game, really. But you can improve the elasticity feeling of the ball a bit more, it feels like steel ball right from the first level, travel fast.
One more thing, can you made it start by just tapping anywhere on main screen ? currently tapping the pad doesn't fire it start.
Welcome next developers to visit my app LangLookUp on Playstore and give review to it, I will do the same for you once you are done.

Thanks for the review and suggestions. For the ball you have to tap above the paddle and where you press is the direction the ball will go. I probably should explain that a bit better in the game
hi, i did it
please do it for our app "iziTalk" too, you can find it on Google Play
Hi from LangLookUp
Hi,
Have you make reviewed on LangLookUp ? Please let me know your review name when you are done so I can do it for iziTalk.
Very nice EL and good game, I am done reviewing it...
Hi Gary
Hi Gary,
Did you review LangLookUp ?
Rgds,
Just finished a five star review on Google Play.
All in all, it's a useful app that I wouldn't mind keeping as I can see it being used for several occasions. That said, I do agree with a previous poster on improving UI since that's such a critical part.
If you wouldn't mind checking out bitmado as well on Google Play: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitmado
