I have made an app that aggregates my subscriptions to freebies, giveaways, etc. email lists. The app is called Free 4 Me and I would be super thankful for any feedback, positive or negative. Thanks. http://www.2shared.com/file/wW6ctcqK/Free_4_Me.html

Link takes one to download a .exe file. Android is .apk Explain? Fred

That doesn't make any sense. Here's a direct link: https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0BxytrPLtRyZNYlJka2tiLWtuZlU Sorry about that.

@fred - 2shared (and others) sometimes have ad popups that go straight to .exe downloads for some file manager thing. Not the posters fault.

Link works fine for me, will switch to HTC phone and try.

Works fine now that I've switched to Android, will install and shout you back.

Installed to HTC Inspire, app works but some of the offers seem to have expired and others seem to redirect to offers not what you'd imagine under that heading. Is that expected? Not all of the links have content, correct? *Edit* Looks like there might be a lot of potential content but at the moment I'd be frustrated if many links didn't lead to what expected. All that said the app works quickly on my phone and appears to do what it sets out to for the most part.

@MacApple. Thanks so much. Yeah, I'll have to go back and keep an eye on the offers to keep them fresh for the users.

Most welcome, let me know if you make any changes and I'll fire it up again.

Thanks to everyone that gave the beta version a run! The final package has been released on Google Play for anyone that wants the version with all bugs fixed. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.v1_4.free4me.com

Sorry to see someone's given one star and yet another useful user comment! To get a star rating so quickly I bet it's a competitor. Hate that there's no right to reply to a***oles. Get some friends and yourself to rate it 4 or 5 stars, as phone users by default see the 3 latest ratings.

Thanks. It does seem like a competitor. Even if it isn't, just saying "Crap" is a worthless comment. Thanks for the info, too.

Edit: accidentally double posted

Yeah, that sort of niche is dominated by blackhatters and marketers. They know all the tricks. Tough to compete against. As long as your offers are good and genuine though, you should rise above it. Good luck!

They def are. Not quite what I was expecting. It's my first app and I thought releasing it to Google Play was going to be awesome. Didn't think people would do that just to be a**holes.

Don't be put off! Releasing to gplay IS awesome! Don't expect every app to hit the mark though. I released 5 apps before making one that took off in a modest way and each one taught me a bit more. Even the greatest apps, like fruit slice and angry birds, get one star ratings. You need a pretty thick skin sometimes, but it is worth it.

Yeah. I'm still getting a feel for everything. Trying to figure out the best ways to promote the app and what not.

Surprisingly little promotion is needed compared to promoting a website. Apps get picked up automatically by dozens of other sites, like appbrain.com - which is a big site in its own right. They <i>almost</i> become self promoting - which is pretty much unique on the internet these days!

Sounds great! Well, I'll just have to wait and see. This is pretty much my "test drive" of Android coding and Google Play.

Also, I just finished a quick update for those that have the app installed. It should pop up on your phone in a few hours!

Update just showed up in Google Play. Enjoy!

Free 4 Me 1.4.4 is out with new categories and content.

If anyone has anything they would like to see in the app, feel free to tell me and I'll make it happen!
