I may be a bit off by asking this, but a man gotta do what he gotta do ..
I been a huge fan of Argyle Sweater and Beau peep comic strips.
The humour in those has been very good and has been the best thing to read first thing in the morning. (Maybe i can add Hagar the horrible in that list too)
A few months back, i had noticed the Argyle Sweater app and had delayed the download as i wasnt sure about my phone at that time. I coaxed my friend who was using the iphone to get it, and he has been hooked ever since.
Now recently i went to the app store to download it and its simply not there !
Can anybody pls fill in here pls? Either the link for the app or the reason for them removing AS app from the store ?
Also, any link for a Beau peep and maybe Hagar the horrible will be nice.
Thanks in advance
So you're saying you actually saw it on the android play store and now it's gone, or you saw it on the Apple app store and assumed it would be for android too? Cause I just searched and couldn't find it anywhere on our play store either.
Yea, i saw it on Play store.
Only when i noticed Argyle Sweater being available as an app, i immediately made my friend search and download on his iphone.
I had sent the query to The Google Play support team, and this is what they replied:-
Thanks for contacting us - I understand you're looking for The Argyle Sweater you'd downloaded before; however, The Argyle Sweater is no longer available on Google Play. Either the developer has chosen to remove the app, or the app has been taken down due to violations of the Google Play Terms of Service. If you’d like to review those terms, please visit these links:
http://www.android.com/us/developer-distribution-agreement.html
http://www.android.com/market/terms/developer-content-policy.html
If you'd like additional details about why the app is no longer on Google Play, you're welcome to contact the developer directly at [email protected]. Unfortunately, at this time, we're not able to provide any further details as to why the app is no longer available.

Now i have sent an email to the developer as well.

I don't know about this guys, after clicking the link, & trying to download, it asks for you to sign in. I'm sorry but I don't sign into, or give up any kind of info into something I have no idea what it is. To be honest, this sounds like an e-mail scam to me, I'll download it when it's in the official market

...are you even looking at the right link? That IS the official Market. Look at the domain, it's very much market.android.com
It's asking you to sign in so that you can directly download and install the app from the Android Market web site. This has been available for a LONG time now.
It's not an email scam, and seriously, it's not that hard to see it's an official Google site. If anything, it's the app itself you should be wary of, not the install process.
Well, if it gets translated it looks like it's ready for the 3vo, if you hit the translate button it says it's designed for the qHD screen in mind with real 3D gameplay. Hopefully it gets a english port soon.
That's because it's for the Sharp Aquos, which is a Japanese phone: http://mb.softbank.jp/en/products/sharp/006sh.html
Hi people,
Can anyone confirm if Groove IP is removed from Market?
Maybe is set for US only? I was able to view 5 hours ago
Tried a VPN.. still nothing
oops.. Should I've posted this in QA? ._.
Thats odd, its gone and I am US. Did Google not like their voice service being used for this? They are usually pretty open with apps. It is still available on the Amazon app store. If it was freeware I would post an apk from Titanium.
Gone for me as well . I forgot to do another backup and went to redownload my apps. Only one not there. Wonder what happened...
I was thinking of buying it (and damn I missed the promotion..), but I got the apk to test it out.. thanks anyway
yea.. it's weird
I thought it could have been removed by the dev, but the amazon's version is still there
like you said.. google is pretty open with this and Groove IP has been on Market for a while.. 1 year?
I just emailed the dev and got an automated response. They're looking into it. Sales got suspended or something.

Still not too sure what happened. Was out for dinner and noticed an email from the android market. Basically an automated email saying that sales were being suspended. Still haven't heard back from the market support, they don't really have a good way for developer contact. The app doesn't violate any of Google's terms or any licenses and we've been on sale for almost a year. Not sure what the issue is.
I'm actually pretty upset about it. GrooVe IP was #1 in paid communication apps and in the top 50 of all paid apps. You'd think if they had found some issue they'd send us a notice or something. Hopefully it's just a mistake. Either way the app is still available from the Amazon app store and we've posted the latest android market version on our facebook page for those who purchased from the android market.
hopefully it will return to the market

Moving to Q&A
Arrggghhhhh!!!! I finally go buy a Galaxy Player yesterday and today the market decides to freak out on GrooVe IP?
The Amazon Appstore is not an option. I'm tired of their lunatic appstore constantly trying to hijack my Market apps and I'm tired of the appstore never having the updated version of apps I want. They only have version 1.2.16 of GrooVe IP while a newer version is supposed to be on the Market.
Maybe one of the carriers didn't like it all of a sudden? That wouldn't be new.
Still no answer to this but Groove IP's facebook page says they got an email from Google saying the app has been suspended. You can follow the latest from their facebook page:
www[dot]facebook[dot]com/pages/GrooVe-IP/118608074886558?sk=wall
(I have less than 8 posts so it wouldn't let me post a url -- so just replace [dot] with . )
Should be back on the Market now.
https://www.facebook.com/pages/GrooVe-IP/118608074886558?sk=wall
Google Play really seems to be a relaunch of the market, books and music. They've basically just changed the names. Still, it sounds cool
What do you think?

I kind of get the idea, but Google Play? Seriously...? That's the best name they could come up with? ಠ_ಠ
A: Dude, I found an epic app!
B: Really? What's it called?
A: Search for [app name here] on Google Play
Just doesn't sound right

No difference, although Amazon really need to open up the appstore to other nations now.
Is there a new APK now it's known as Google Play?
Aw, market.android.com redirects to play.google.com
Anyone have the new Play Store apk?

Its basically just a name change, and I saw on droidlife all froyo and newer devices will get the new "play" market update pushed.
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk
As most features like music and movie rent arent available in my country the change is mostly a non issue for me - but the thing about how newer apps will be on their cloud and not our phone looks a bit worrying, what about people without an unlimited data plan?
It's insulting! We love Android, stop calling it Google thiss or that.
Where the droid on the MARKET?
FU Google
I love the new design.
The name may not be awesome but it's still a name, it's better than the generic "Market" that leaves no impression after hearing it.

Google Play is just a Rebranding of Android Market
Check out this page that talks about how "Google Play" is just a rebranding of the Android Market, yet has so many possibilities for what will come next...
http://www.orangeandjuicy.com/google...ndroid-market/
I'm not sure what I think about the name "Play" yet. Not sure if that is very descriptive of reading a book.
But the roll-out was quite seamless and well done.
Hate it. the PLAY is really unprofessional, didn't Google lean ANYTHING from the failure of the PLAYBook by RIM.
It failed because of it's name.
(and it's OS had **** apps)

No, its not that. Large programs usually games, will have a small apk that installs and then once it launches it downloads additional data on the device using the developer's server usually. You don't know how large the additional content will be until you install the app. Now the additional content can be hosted on Google's servers so you will know just how big a game, etc really is before you download it and updates to games will also be easier to push.
Hi! Is there any way to sort search results on the Google market e.g. after downloads or views or rating? Thanks.

Not currently possible in the app, but it should be possible on the website.
Yeah on the website it works but whyyyy is Google not integrating it in the app.
Isn't there the possibility to integrate this function in a mod somehow?
Thx
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda app-developers app
Even on the website, the only options are by Popularity and by Relevance.
I wish i could sort by Rating, by Developer, alphabetically...
google seems to make it on purpose not to let you sort the results... MADAFAKAZ!! :x

It can barely find information about anyone asking about sorting results from play store. xda developers must be only ones who think outside the box.
How we can make it sort every search results as i want.
Like downloads, stars e.t.c.?
Sorting seems to have been removed from the website as well. Damn it Google, why must you turn everything to ****.
I've just had to reinstall after a full reset, and this has to be one of the worst aspects of the play store. I wish I understood programming, but is there anyone can make an app to fix this lack of sortability and lack of filtering?
I'm with @Newtoys, why does google always go one step to far and mess up perfectly good things?
Agreed: Google makes it Harder, not Easier!
Searching for a small business collaboration app
Only returns results with app that have the word "collaboration" in the title?
If I was a developer, I would be reluctant to ever get involved,
how are potential customers supposed to find your App if you don't give it a name that sound too much alike all the other apps in the same category.
And Furthermore: I don't care about the icon, I want to be able to scan an encapsulation of the capacity of the app... Who cares what color the button is going to be on my screen !!!
If Google is the "Ultimate Search Engine" why then can't I use a Google search to go through the Play Store Apps..?
NO !!! Instead it returns a listing of Other Web Sites and the Apps that they recommend ?
I am with you guys on this. Been wondering this for years now. I also found it weird that when I try and Google search this issue, this thread is the only one relevant to our problem. I'd be willing DL a modified play store app even. The worst is when I want to see about any new/updated apex themes and I have to browse a library of themes I've seen before.

lol, exact same f##@ up when im going thru Layers themes !! Usually we need the latest updated themes since they work as expected with updated AOSP Roms...but stupid google wont let me sort a list of apps by the 'last updated' date !!
Any 3rd party apps that browse the entire play store app catalogue and have the ability to sort them by their last updated date ?
same here... i want to sort apps by it size since the day start using play store but never see such feature or any proper useful sorting method in play store.. and when google for sprting apps, i end up right here... hope some1 has the solution for this... seriously...
so there's a free book on Play Store about making photos with Android smartphones:
The basics, and I do mean basics, are covered here. The book opens with a description of the best way to hold a phone for both horizontal and vertical pictures, and while this may seem obvious to some users, there's no shame in admitting if your picture-taking form could use some work.
This book is written with the Nexus line of products in mind, and it's geared towards users running Android 4.2.2 or higher. If you have a Nexus 4 and are moving over from an HTC or Samsung product, this is a good way to get familiar with the latest version of the stock Android app. Brown provides pictures and goes through all of the app's options. Once you've taken your photo, there are sections dedicated to both sharing it and editing it using third-party applications such as Snapseed.
