That was my experience with it also.
Yup! Same here. Install/uninstall.
Price of the app, like anything else, doesn't mean it's good quality or useful.
If you need an assistant to do what this app does, you already have a real one to go with your $30M a year salary!
Also, they were offering an app the other day for free, (forget which one), regular price $1.99 or something, and the same app was already free in the Market.

I guess I'm the only fan lol... I know that price of the app doesnt mean quality.. but this app reminds me of how LockInfo was set up (if you guys ever had an iPhone and had LockInfo you can appreciate the UI).
I have mines set-up as my lockscreen with all the info/RSS Feeds/Facebook set up on it so i dont have to launch anything.
I know there are a bunch of different widgets/apps already out there that can do this, but none could replicate or improve the look I wanted.... except this app.
to each his own!
I like it... I liked the lockscreen info app on the iphone... it does bug me that i have to hit home before swiping my finger 9 times out of 10, but it looks pretty good and it gives me info at a glance without actually getting into the phone if it isn't necessary.
I just like the fact that I can use it's widget to put notification on widgetlocker. and the icons are customisable as well so thats really great.

I totally understand what you are talking about. I used lock info as well on my jail broken iphone. It's kind of a replica of that. Looks beautiful also. I'm using this app as a replacement of widget locker for the moment. lets see how long it lays on my phone lol.

what didnt you like? What are you using now?
In my experience, i havn't found an app which could do the same, or even comes close. You know any app which can display who last called you, or whats in your text/email and from whom?
For me personally, i found the holy grail with this app, which is sadly not that impressive as i wish it was. My idol is the jailbreaked lockscreen and its copy in iOS5.

Not for a while. But its still too bulky, big and not customizable for me.
Would anyone recommend this app? Reviews complain about continuous updates, maybe malware, anybody tried it before?
-XDA Premium on CM7 Nook Color
It updates alot be cause the host file is always adding more blocked websites. I use it on all my devices. Reboot after you do it. No more ads.
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
This app is one of the reasons to root your phone. Not malware
I use it on every one of my devices. The updates are to stay on top of the ever growing list of ad servers.
Yeah you can rest assured, this thing is top, not flop.
Thanks all!
-XDA Premium on CM7 Nook Color
Well after installing, updating, and rebooting I tested angry birds and there is still adds... is it supposed to work for everything or just certain things?
-XDA Premium on CM7 Nook Color
Another good option is Adaway. I like it because it has a few more options compared to the last time I was using adfree..
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.adaway
I use AdAway because it blOcks more ads it seems.
As it turns out... I forgot about it for a while and then just checked it out again, and its working fine, definitely a recomended app I'd say. Thanks again for the insight!

This is an essential app for me, I update it manually and have had no problems. Just ad free apps.
Does this just get rid of ads in browsers/game banners, or will it get rid of the Words with Friends ad after each move, and the like?

They get rid of most ads. It depends on what ad server the app uses. It just blocks them using the host file, like you can do on a desktop computer.

probably and advertisement that came from an app you downloaded. I hate those..
Find the app that is doing it, rate it 1 star then uninstall and find a better similar app where the developers aren't douchebags.
Having same problem. How do i find the app thats responsible?
I wouldn't know.. if it only happened recently and you installed apps recently I would start with those..
Maybe read comments on the apps you downloaded, many people will complain about it.
All the big apps are likely safe to assume they're not the one doing it. It's usually smaller apps, less known games that do it to bring in more money.
EDIT:
Actually I take that back. There is an app to see which apps are pushing those annoying advertisements:

You need Ad push detector, it's available free from the market.
I had same problem, for me it was a an ics theme for launcher go. I removed it and found alternative, now all is good no more crappy star notification.

I had the same issue and downloaded Addons Detector. I scanned for Push Notifications...and nuked the app responsible.
Google really shouldn't allow such crap into the market though. It takes away from the integrity of the app market.
Tnx guys, it was Live 3D wallpaper...

Thanks for the tip on the app, downloaded it and found the app, It was a Battery Calibration app that had many people who had rated it as an air push app. What a pain in the ass those things are, they should be illegal. I have a rooted phone with adfree downloaded and it still came thru. Not any more, didn't need that damn app anyways.
Thanks again,
Vinny

Hey, everyone. This is Obasi42, creator of Obasi Apps and Quick-Notes for the S Pen. Please don't take this thread as an advertisement for my application. I am simply desperate for your help right now.
As you may know, there is a contest going on right now for the best S Pen applications. I understand that my application isn't nearly good enough to win, but I do want to have a fighting chance out there. So, to anyone who already uses my app, or anyone who is curious to find out more, or anyone who just wants to help: can you please tell me what features you would like implemented in this application?
Here's a link to it in the market (it's free!):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.obasiapps.productivity.quicknotes
Bonus question: I'm also creating a gaming app, so what games would you like created for the S Pen?
The competition ends Tuesday, so, you can see why I'm in a hurry.
Thanks!
I tried it out. It's a good, basic memo app. Here are my criticisms-
I would much prefer this show up as an app. I like to have my search button go directly to vlingo.
It's a bit too basic. The s-pen memo app that comes with the phone does the same thing except you have a lot more color choices.
I'd really like to be able to embed pics and maybe voice notes.
Your app is definitely on to a good start. Good luck with the competition!

Why can't I run your app on my Note? I have it installed but its icon is not with the other apps. When I go into settings, it shows that it is installed, but there is no way for me to launch it.
Weird.

Odd, I'm having the same issue...
Sorry about that. In the description, it explains that a search button long-press will open up the application.
When you open the app it says it won't be listed in your apps and to long press the search button

I also dont like how s-memo isnt sensitive enough. Id like a quicker response. If you could over come this in your app as far as software is concerned then i applaud you.

Had that issue also. I'm rooted so I installed touchscreentune and it sorted that all out. Samsung needs to come up with a native app that does the same thing.
Amazing work.
However i can't visit the market on my network. Any alternative method to get it?
can you make your app available upon double click with s-button
says my gnote isnt compatible

Here's my take on the search button long press to launch. Some ppl have reassigned the search button. That may affect the operation without an app drawer icon.
Note...where BIGGER is better!
Play store says the app is not compatible with my Note and Captivate. Wth.
Running stock ICS btw.
I'm all about customizing my phone with random little apps. This one I found last night is called "Hello", and it is a very simple yet extremely elegant sms app. Everything is sorted in to tabs, and the coolest feature I've found so far is when you click on a picture that was sent to you through texts, it pulls up all the other pictures in that particular thread so you can quickly save them all instead of doing it one by one.
Just thought I would let you guys in on this little gem I found! Hope you guys give it shot!
Hi Anthony,
Thanks for the heads up, that is a nice app!

I was using Hangouts before, but this looks cleaner. I'm gonna try it for a while. Thanks for the heads up.
If you like this you should check out EvolveSMS. Some of the same type stuff and you can download themes for it. I'm been using it for a while now and I love it.

Hello is really nice but on every device i have it seems to stutter eveytime i open it. If you turn on the beta access , you can send these little gifs cut out in a speech bubble. Pretty cool haha. I got all my android friends use it now, i just wish it would launch faster

No problem! My all doesn't seem to stutter when I launch it.... I wonder why yours does.
I think the biggest thing I like about this app is the fact that you can't bog it down with themes. Just personal preference though lol.
Thank you for telling us about the app

my message+ app got sent to the freezer for conspiracy to slow my phone with all my other big red apps. They are now serving a 2year+ sentence with a $360 fine if they return earlier.
I like Hello, but it would send pictures as links to recipients instead of the actual pictures. I found that several people wouldn't open them. I is probably better to send them as links that people can click on and then view them, because they would come out in higher quality. But if people don't click on them, it defeats the purpose. I also didn't like how it put an advertisement for their app on each picture it sent links for.

Haha. I don't keep message + on the phone...but will install it and backup when swapping Roms on my S4. It is handy to work across devices.....but Hangouts is my go to messenger since my ios contacts are slowly converting to it from apples proprietary junk. Switched to hangouts when they added custom ringtones.

Evolve is excellent. Made me ditch 8sms, which I never thought would happen. Straightforward, with nice enough bells and whistles that aren't obnoxious.
I am getting tired of go sms, but I need sms pop ups. What is a good alternative?
