In case you haven't heard they give out a free paid app every day! Yesterday was Picsay Pro and today is Wolfram Alpha! Both great apps! I high suggest installing the app store and checking every day I'm not really sure what happens when the app get's updated by the developer though.
I uninstalled it because I was offended that it was notifying me about updates even though I hadn't run the app since a reboot...
I hate that presumption that my cpu and bandwidth is free for the taking, or that I even care that an app that I haven't run for a few days has been updated...
Also, I had installed a free app from amazon app store, and it wouldn't run after I uninstalled amazon app store (reasonable I suppose).
Otherwise, I buy a lot of stuff from amazon - I'm a loyal customer of theirs...

I think the Amazon Appstore is a great alternative to the Android Market, but I'm glad we have both.
The Appstore is much more like Apple's App Store (and not just in name only). Amazon reviews and tests all applications, and if they don't work as advertised, are buggy, or have security issues, they get denied. One one hand, it's nice to know you can trust your app downloads, especially when there have been some rather notable security problems with Market apps.
On the other hand, there's nothing stopping Amazon from denying legitimate apps like Apple has a habit of doing. That said, I haven't seen any evidence they're doing that, and generally speaking I think Amazon is a rather trustworthy company (see the platform-agnostic Kindle software and their willingness to go toe-to-toe with record labels to give us Cloud access to our own music).
Oh, and ironically, the Appstore's search engine is about a bajillion times better than the Market's. I'll never understand why Google's Android Market search engine is so awful.
Of course, the free apps -- which are just discounted to $0 from the full price for a day, so they're handled exactly the same as a real purchase as far as updates go -- are just the cherry on top. But what a cherry. At first, I was worried they would just go the easy route and give out ****e apps. But that definitely hasn't been the case (with the exception of some "meh" games). In the slightly over two weeks the Appstore's been available, I've nabbed legitimately top-shelf apps like Shazam Encore, SoundHound Infinity, SwiftKey Keyboard, PicSay Pro, Wolfram Alpha, Weatherbug Elite, and a whole bunch of games, many of which are pretty darn good, like Fruit Ninja and Backbreaker Football. That's a lot of money saved (like $30 for apps I've listed here alone).
Amazon App store is GREAT
We need a second option from Google
I like how there aren't problems downloading apps and apps will correctly queue for download. With the Android market on 2.2 it will sit there and try to download multiple apps only to either error out on the download or do a continuous installing thing that you have to cancel anyway.
Darn I missed picsay!! How did that happen!!
One bad thing about Amazon...yesterday I went to play Angry Birds Rio, and it gave me an error saying that it didn't have a network connection to verify my purchase.
So if you are in Airplane mode, or don't have a connection, it sounds like the apps from Amazon won't run. Not an issue most of the time, but annoying nonetheless.
My morning ritual now involves checking the Amazon App Store.
does anyone know if you can transfer apps already purchased onto the same phone if we flash a new rom? i'm assuming you can, but the data saves might disappear
Apps can be installed on unlimited (I'm not sure about that, but I've got it going on 2) phones. Data might be transferable through Titanium but I've not actually tried.
ah cool. hopefully TiBU data restoring won't cause force closes because i know it sometimes does
hi, this is Lee from China. I am a super fan of android. In the past two weeks, I helped a developer to distribute his app to more than 30 China 3rd android marketpalces. We didn't do any any promotion. The result is not as good as google play. But the total download reached around 8000 in two weeks. If possible, we will share our result to all.
The market is quite big. If anyone also wants to get extra downloads, please feel free to contactme at [email protected]. Thanks.
I recently jumped ship to Windows Phone from android and was able to participate in the Nokia World of Apps promotion for a free $20 app voucher and am trying to figure out what to spend it on.
I plan on getting Rayman Jungle Run, and maybe Civilization Revolution, but otherwise I'm not really seeing anything I want to buy.
What are your recommendations?
to get discounts check Store Deals, AppDeals and myAppFree... some popular games also sometimes go for free, only you need to wait, for example Angry Birds collection was 2 times free, now is most of Disney collection free)...
also check App Social from Nokia to get recommendations for popular apps... if you cant find it in store, install SysApp Pusher
also here few interesting pay apps with trial to check if you interested:
OneShot - good camera app
MoliPlayer Pro - video player with subtitle support...
Hello Fellow developers, I hope you're all doing well
I had like 7 apps in google play but only 2 of them were getting organic downlaods,
the other apps they didnt have much downloads, because of the competition in the market, I had to figure out a way to increase my downloads for the other apps so I tried facebook ads to promote my apps it didn't work and it was too damn expensive.
I came across a beautiful website for buying Real 100% legit downloads for my apps, and it's so cheaper than the others!
US installs cost only $0.14 per install. and worldwide installs cost $0.12 per install.
I bought 1000 downloads for 3 apps of mine and they all ranked top 30 for my keywords, Now I am getting organic downloads everyday and making more money with Admob.
I wanted to share my experience with you here in this forum
The website where I bought the downloads from is : waypedia.com

Get Crossy Road from the Amazon Appstore. Check it out - http://amzn.to/1uE5WL4
Just wanted to share this with you guys because my sister has it on her iPad and I really like this game and I was getting really mad it wasn't available for Android.
Well turns out it is.... And for some reason it's not in the Play Store.
So for you guys who already like this game go ahead and download it from the Amazon app store - which is a great app to have on your phone, they give one free app a day and have tons of cool deals - for those who don't know the game go ahead and try it, it's really fun and doesn't have in-app purchases, which now a days is really rare.
Anyway thanks Amazon for having a great app store, and making it available for all of us not just the Kindle devices.
Sort for the long post..... I got caught up xD .
