As we all know Amazon has a App of the day going on. This is the official thread for us to post, talk about, and broadcast these applications. How ever it can get extremely sticky. They are only free for 24hrs and since it is Amazon's choice to eat the cost for these please do not post links to any .apks, including sites to where the .apks can be found. you may only post links to the Amazon site and/or the Google Market site. I did talk to the local mod before posting this and according to them posting links to the .apks or source of .apk will be treated as warez and punished accordingly.
Mod edit: Any links anywhere outside of the OP will be removed, and if they are links to the apks or other sites hosting the apks they will be treated as warez.
as of 4/28/11 i will not longer updating this daily.

Anyone else have the app store working great, update the app and now it keeps asking for me to associate a credit card with my 1-click settings? Why do I need to keep my card on their servers for some hacker to compromise just to buy a free app?

The reason they do that is so if you want to buy an application it the price will be applied directly to the card on file.
glad someone started this...i think i suggested this after the third or fourth day due to the inflood of free app threads (didnt start it myself because i do not have the time to maintain it)
On another note...this is the first thing i do every morning..check the free app

I just wanted to start it so we could have a common place to talk about the Deal of the Day. I know they'll be a massive flood of people talking about stuff. I'm going to be whoring the apps. The games i'm letting slide under the radar.
You can select install on the app of the day, let it authenticate and download, then choose not to install and it's considered purchased. Just so everyone knows. That way you can get all of the apps they offer even if they don't sound appealing or useful atm. Never know, once the day is up you'll not have that chance again...
Is there any way to receive an automatic notification of what the free app is each day? I know one of these days I'm going to forget to check...

The only way possible would be for you to subscribe to this thread, and when i update it should notify you.
But keep in mind i'm only doing apps, not games.

Looks like they stopped giving out free apps.
Also if you delete the Amazon App Store from your phone you will not be able to open any of the Apps you downloaded through it.

Nevermind I was wrong. I looked last night at a time when they should have had another free app up and the space was completely blank. I searched online and found a thread on another site that said they were stopping the free app a day giveaway. However I just looked and they have a new one up.
what if you download the app of the day and save it to sd card and uninstall the amazon app store...will the app/game still play after cause its now on ur sdcard...
So is this not being updated or what?
BTW, Today's free app is PhotoVault.

Has anyone figured out a way to disable the advertisements that show on the bottom in most every app ?
So many are complaining about lag and I (for one) think it has to do with these stupid google advertisements.

As a consumer, please don't play this bs pity game about your decision to make your app less useful by covering a portion of the screen with ads to make money off us.
Sent from my Vibrant using xda app
wrong section of the forums, this isn't "development"
but yes, AdFree is the thing that you're looking for.. most apps have a DONATE version which will remove the ad
Exactly, I just wanted to end the thread
You can afford a $500 phone, why not pay $ for an app you obviously like and find useful? Its especially insulting to ask for an easy way to screw the developers in a development forum... Try asking in general when you have questions.

Wrong thread.
Here is the classic argument, I believe consumers should have the right to privacy and there are apps out there with risky permissions and adwares that can read your contacts and sms while it is a simply an 'offline' game. I do buy many apps and donate sometimes. I use a phone because it's my personal devices, I customize it how I want. To the dev who blame AdFree for 'losing' money, too bad. Create a good program, charge for it and remove your adwares for the paid version. Or a non euphemistic way of putting it: maybe if you made a non-s***** app without those adwares and not running in the background slowing down my phone maybe I would consider paying or donating, its free market capitalism, not welfare.
Also there are even purchased apps that come with adwares and sometime there is no paid option. I do understand Google list the permission before you download the app and since it's free its my choice if I want to download it or not, fine, but it is not always transparent for the consumer, for example apps do not list the type of adwares installed. Until the Congress say it's illegal to use ads blocking I will continue to use it.
Sent from XDA app
ads is everywhere, I got a headache when watching this ads.
Make sure to download the newest version if it via either Google play store or their website. They recently moved locations.
As for aware there exists an app that customizes that permissions an app installed on Android may have. You can use that to create a custom install for, say Angry birds, where it no longer allows it access to location or to the Internet which would defeat aware that tracts you or downloads new "harmful" features.
I cannot remember the name of the app offhand. If someone could help I would appreciate it.

I've blown through the first series of levels. The graphics are improved, seem,feels smoother and i'm clocked @ 800Mhz. This time you are freeing caged birds instead of making bacon. I like this one alot. It's a good switch from the blowing pigs up. Hopefully they continue to mix things up.

It's free you do not need to have cash on the account. For their free apps on you need to do is have a one click pay set up so if you want apps that cost money it'll pull from your credit/debit card.

I found this app on another forum. It's nice because they post a handful of premium apps you can legally get for free.
GetJar
I came across it in my search to find a way to browse Rootzwiki w/o going through my browser. Rootzwiki now wants you to pay for their app and I don't want to spend even just a few dollars for the one thread I'm temporarily watching. Anyways, someone posted that you can get Tapatalk for free through GetJar. Many of you are already using Tapatalk but for those that don't know it allows you to browse and favorite hundreds of various forums. I never had the need for TappaTalk before and would have gotten it, but it's nice now that I could find it for free.
So through your phone's browser, you need to go to the http://www.getjar.com. Download their .apk and install.
Anyways, Beautiful Widgets is also on there for free and you can browse some of the other premium apps they'll find and post.
Nice find. Will head over there and check it out.

I snagged a few of the Gold apps a week or so back, including Tapatalk, and haven't had any issues with any of them. About once a month, I tend to install their market, check to see if they've added any good ones, then uninstall the market again. Unlike Amazon, you don't have to have it installed to have the apps.
Very nice find I payed for a few of these paid apps lol thanks.

Yes you can but isn't 4 shared cracked apps? I had some at first when I did not know better. Then deleted via root explorer and bought it through the market.
This getjar seems more legit and legal I hope.

Not if you are downloading free ones. Nothing to crack. You can find old versions of apps if you don't like the update in market. Sometimes updated get rid of exploits

Does this app register the downloads with the Android Market? Or is this app similar to the Amazon App that gives away apps for free each day but in order to re-download them you have to have their app installed.

They don't. GetJar has their own market, so any updating would need to be done through it.

For the record, I was referring to GetJar, which is legal. I don't condone the use of illegal apps, via 4shared/wherever.
It wasn't aimed at you or anyone really, I just kept seeing it mentioned. No worries.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
With the getjar, I heard people started having ads popping up when it was installed. Is this true? Is that why people install it to get the app then uninstall it?
BTW, even though they are free (I see things like Fruit Ninja FREE, etc), are these still add-supported apps? Or, is the free Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds add-free?
Thanks!
Maybe that's how they support putting paid apps for free on their website. The adds pay for the apps.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
I will say that I've had ONE ad randomly appear in my notification bar (saying I'd won an iPhone/iPad/etc), but a friend (on a different network, on a different, non-rooted/modified phone) that I know for a fact has no apps from Get Jar installed got the same thing an hour or two before me (he even called to ask me about it, since I'm his "android guy" lol). Still not sure what caused that.

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:

I imagine they'll get removed eventually, but would get removed sooner if people reported them. Shame you can't report apps from your browser - you have to use the app. I did report the bricking app though. That's just plain dumb, and unfortunately some people need protecting from themselves!
I see no point why we can't report apps like that from our browser. It's obviously malicious.
