Hi all. Not asking for anything that is stealing....
I am a NC user in Canada.
As of yet the Amazon appstore is not available in Canada though I have it installed on my NC it won't let me download or purchase any content for geographical reasons.
I am sure this will change soon, but in the mean time I am missing out on some nice daily deals! For example swiftkey is available free today!
I am wondering if anyone would be able to pm me the apk they download for free from the appstore. I figure if I get it for free on the day it was offered free I am not taking anything away financially from them, I am only getting someone to act as my intermediary until the appstore can work for me.
Would anyone be able to?
Would greatly appreciate it!!!
I'm fairly 100% positive that Amazon is still giving money to the publisher for every 'free' app that's downloaded through their app store, so you are still taking something financially away from the publisher, even if not from Amazon. Past that, the code is still protected and not 'free' regardless of the initial cost to the user.
Possibly but fact is I am not asking for hacked app and currently it is free. being in Canada I just font have access. I font think I am asking much.

I don't think it would work anyway as the apk for the app wouldn't be tied to your Amazon account.

Also I think Amazon can tell you're in Canada. It's the same way Hulu and other video services can tell your not in America. Unless you use a proxy then you are sol.
I tried to install the apk on my phone. It installs but when you try to change the swiftkey settings it throws an error about not having the amazon app store installed and to install the app store to use.
Has anyone tried using a usa vpn for getting apps off amazon?

thats why i cant buy it but if i have the apk on a free app i want to see if it will work
The fact that.it doesn't cost the.person downloading it anything does not suddenly make it free and available for the downloader to distribute it as they see fit. The Amazon store is the distribution method the publisher has chosen this time, if they've (Amazon or the publisher) decided that Canada isn't a place they want to sell or allow Amazon to give the app away, that's their choice, and someone giving you the app is no different than someone giving you a paid version from the Market.

I am in Germany and the Amazon App Store works just fine on my NookColor. No proxy or anything like that.

that is your opinion which is speculation it is more likely due to is sues that have nor yet been setup fact is if I drove 1 hour to south and got on few wifi there then I would have no problem.
Thanks for trying to be more of a problem than a solution.
I hope you never mess something up on your nook color as technically the stick image posted on xda wad nor felt released by Barnes and Noble dip you would be also doing something illegal.
There are cracked versions of this pretty program floating around but i wanted a legitimate version knowing it will only be a matter of time before the store goes live here and I will miss or on the offer.
Actually, it's not illegal to hack the NC. At least not in the US. They can void your warranty, but it's not illegal to hack it. What you are asking someone to do is illegal though.

I didn't say hacking nook was illegal. But using an .img file of the stock Rom to restore to stock is. B&N did not open source there OS version for release. That img file is not the same file as their update files. This is the whole OS to flash back to stock.
And while what I asked might have flirted in a grey area look around at what is available on xda that is normally pay software. I merely asked for a file being offered free on the day it was offered as such. If you have a problem with that make your own thread and don't [email protected] on mine.

I am afraid sideloading will not work too, as Appstore will need to authenticate your credentials first.
While Swiftkey is a great keyboard app for mobiles, I find Thumb Keyboard to work better for tablets.
See title.
To anyone who might be interested and too cheap to fork out two bucks.
It's only two bucks but i still kinda feel bad that i could have gotten it for free. Amazon also gave out marshmallows and spaghetti which i also paid for.
i dont need a signature
Just downloaded. Personally I like beautifull widgets more, now I'm glad I didn't pai for it lol

Noob question, but what is amazon market? Or is it just another name for the regular "market" installed on the phone? Thanks for the heads-up finalhit
edit:Sorry just woke-up, no caffeine yet, just found it. Thanks again for the heads-up
2nd edit: After all that Amazon app-store "is not available in your region."

you can also just re-download the apps from the market where you purchased it from. you don't have to pay for it again, and you can download it however many times you want.

Not if you downloaded from the amazon market, you need to have amazon market installed to reinstall it.

AppMonster Pro catches all the apk's during the installs and saves them on your SD card.
Thanks for the heads up

Good look . Liking this App big time. Thanks.
About amazon market.
If you didn't know, they give away a FREE paid/pro app every day. You should check and "install" their app, even if you don't want it. You can uninstall it afterwards.
This way, you'll have it if you ever want it in the future and I'm sure Amazon is paying the dev a certain amount of $ for the number of downloads and the devs surely could use the $.
Besides those 2 reasons, it's always fun to try out some of those new pieces of software and fun to see what the next "free" toy is!

It's only available in the US. If you've got a Shift then I assume you are in the US. Go into system settings and under Language make sure you have US English selected and try it again.

Good question. I would check the "my downloads" on the Gameloft site and see if its there to redownload. Also try the full webpsge and check using your phone number and email address. If all else fails contact gameloft support. They helped me with purchases I made on the Evo4G and sent me links for new versions for the 3D for free. Good luck.
Errrr when I go to the gameloft site....and click buy all it does is reload the page....all other games work when i hit buy.
Well i called gameloft and they text me the dl link....running very nice on our EVO 3D phones

You are using a custom rom that doesn't have the build.prop set right. That's why the mobile site doesn't see tour phone as an evo3D.
Try going through the actual webpsge from a computer. Or look up changing the build.prop.

Yeah that makes sense...anyone happen to have the ifo for stock build.prop???
Does anyone know when you set up the payment plan? Is it when you launch the game? I haven't seen anything on the website to tell me otherwise. It only states which payment plans you can choose.

When you buy the game you get like 3months free. After that it will force to into a monthly or yearly plan.

Actually. If you visit the wapshop.gameloft.com site and not use the 3D Games app, it should allow you to select which phone you have at the bottom of the page.
I am useing stock build, when I go to wapshop.gameloft.com they dont offer me Order and Chaos, but it does know I am 3D. Amyone get it to work.
Works fine for me

EA games are a complete crapshoot. I advise you request a refund if you paid for it. Your chances are slim of getting it to work. EA sucks, as they always have. All of their games are problematic with the TouchPad.

And with almost every phone out I really hate EA, just a greedy company that does not care about their customers.
Hello, I only published one app and was hoping it would at least get me my 25$ back.
I'm from Romania and I don't find 25$ to be a cheap price. The other problem with me being Romanian is that I can't open a merchant account, so I can only post free apps. My option was to use AdMob to get a little income. It wasn't much, having only gathered 4.40$ in 3 months. On top of that, my admob was suspended and I don't know why, I read the rules and as far as I know I didn't do anything wrong. I suspect someone purposely made fake clicks in my app just to mess with me.
I now decided to try Amazon App store, they let me publish paid apps even from my country. I know there were some people who asked for a paid version with no ads. I don't know how to deal with this situation now, I have the google play app which is free but it has a Donate popup. And then there's the same app (not yet approved) but without the donate links on the amazon app store.
Have you ever tried Amazon app store? Do people really buy apps there?
What do you suggest I do?

I had bad experience with Amazon store, they take long time to approve apps.
Imo there is no good enough alternative for Google Play at the moment
Same here, rather bad luck with Amazon to date...

I have tried amazon app store and publish it for free, i see your app is live wallpaper and as i know Kindle users do not like live wallpapers.
i suggest you try slideMe appstore.

Both amazon and getjar weren't really useful for me. I did get more traffic from the Opera store. Since my game focuses on in app purchases to make $ it's hard to get traction on any other store since currently I use IAB.
What kind of app did you have? Games I think are most successful with ads, but in the end it depends from app to app, I guess.
You can try Samsung App here: http://seller.samsungapps.com/
I have bad experience with Amazon. Low downloads and last weeks Admob ecpm is extremely low (about 0.05). Has anybody tried to integrate Amazon's banner ads?
Amazon app store is an avenue that developers are still figuring out how to utilize optimally for their purpose.
I agree with most of what has been said here... I don't get even 1% of the amount of downloads from Amazon as I do from Play. In my opinion it is just not Amazon's focus as Play is "THE" store front for apps. I think like most business ventures, it has a lot to do with timing. What kind of niche are your getting into. If super saturated, you may need to create a category within a category in order to reach new users.
You can win Kindle Fire HD now for integrating their api.

Agreeing with previous posters that Google Play doesn't have a good enough alternative yet...
Have tried SlideMe and Amazon and neither have got close to the Play Store in my case.

True, but ARPU on Amazon is far better than on GPlay. Of course GPlay is x10 (at least) when it comes to its reach but if you have a good app, use Amazon's APIs (ads, inapps, etc.) and talk to them, you might get featured. My experience is they actually respond to emails
Amazon Appstore will not make you uber-rich but it's a valid option, much better than GetJar imho.
