Hi GUYS,
I am new to the android world, I have been an iphone user from iphone 3gs to iphone 5s, recently I shifted to ios to android and I am curreclty using Samsung Note 3, I am very happy with the performance of the device but when it comes to the App experience I give full marks to IOS.
I thought i would start this thread for users like me who might be having problems in the android world with APPS.
eg:
1. I never found an alternative app for "ibank" which is was using on my MAC and iphone.
2. No good alternative for "Filemaker Go."
So I request all the users of this community to share the name of such alternatives apps, so that it might help in easy switching between the platforms.
I am still looking for multiple accounts emails software blackberry was great here.
At present syncing all other email address to 1 single account but thats not I require
For multiple accounts email you can use
1. Boxer.
2. CloudMagic email.
3. MyMail
On iOS I used to use "App Price Drops" app for notification of price drops of app. Can anybody tell an alternative to this app for android?

Already been to this site.
But see the site lists so many apps as alternatives for FileMaker go and I have tested almost all but none came closer to the functionalilty of FileMaker pro.
The main motive behind starting this thread is to help users to save time and install the best alternative app that the other helpful users of this community propose rather than installing each app that sites like alternativeto.net suggests.
I hope the community will help.
Guys which app are you using to sync outlook with your PC over local WiFi not through internet.
For iOS I used to use todo version 7
Hoping for a reply

Awesome! Thanks for the offer, I've sent you the details via a PM.
Been wanting something like this, but don't have the time to code it up myself.
I can help test it out and give feedback though. Would love to see this happen.

Thanks for the offers, I've sent you both details via PM.
We hope to get our Windows Phone Store account organized in the next few days so we can expand the beta to those without developer unlocked devices.
We're also interested in suggestions for Web Apps to be included in the catalogue. If there are any mobile web sites that you use frequently or that work particularly well with Windows Phone, please let us know and we can add them in.

Hi All,
Thanks for your help in testing our app. Version 1.0 is now available in the Store at http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=49e97b4c-7715-4103-8519-066244fc9e2f
If you have any ongoing feedback, I'd love to hear it. We plan on continuing to improve the app as time goes on.

Hello guys,
We are a small team which is about to make its first game. It is a realtime multiplayer bubble shooter. So far we have some design tests and almost no coding done. It is going to eventually be released for Android and iOS for both smartphones and tablets.
We are also looking for a good realtime backend API platform. Do you have any experiences with such?
We think we have picked the right ad platform:

Here's a design test:

Oh, thank you! We are working hard so we can make a video of the game in action. We will alsp be revealing some very cool game mechanics as soon as we have them implemented.

Hi, I've been reading about releasing games in China and so far I am not really sure how to do it. I know there are dozens of app stores other than google play and the app store. Putting the game there won't be a big problem I guess, but the in-game purchases will have to go through the google and apple accounts of the users. Now that I do not know if will be an issue for Chinese players. How do Chinese players pay for games? Do they use credit cards?
Also there is localization which I will do my best to get at least in mandarin and spanish.
If not, the single-player will be free anyway (albeit with ads), while the multiplayer will get a candy-crush style system of hearts you lose for a loss and you have to buy in order to play more.

Releasing game in China is tricky but not impossible.
First you must decide how you are going to make money.
If you go with the mobile ads route, then just find company that has an SDK that provides ads.
If you want in-app purchase, you just need to find a Chinese payment SDK that takes Chinese payment methods.
Google play is not supported well in China so you will have to find a different submission service that takes your APK and send it to all top stores in China.
My favorite is appigniter.com
They have payment and mobile ads SDK. And pays you through your paypal account.
There are others like
papaya
onepf.org
inmobi
All interesting choices but not sure how good they work.
Thank you very much! That did help a lot. We will surely try to include a Chinese payment method, it is a gigantic market after all.

Hey PopNationOnline
Uploading to each of the app stores in China can be a painstaking process. To make this process easier, you can try App Publish by InMobi. Its free and you will have to upload your app once and your app will be published to around 160 app stores across the world. I think it'll really help you.
Disclaimer: I work for InMobi

Haha, free advertisement. Still, thank you! I might just end up using it.
I talked to a Papaya representative in China and he was very keen on making me give up the idea of using their payment SDK and dealing with China in general. I found it very strange.
Unpopular Communication Apps That Deserve A Call Back
I don't know if you've heard of these new type of phones coming out called "Smartphones" but apparently they offer a million new ways to communicate with people. We all know about texting apps, calling, snapchat, skype and all of the basics. There are also a lot of really cool communication apps that don't make it onto the "Most Popular" page of the Play store. Let's take a look at some of these really good apps that you may not have heard of before.
Couple Tracker -Mobile monitor
This one is really creepy but it's good at what it does. This is for the average couple that doesn't trust each other because for some reason they thought it would be a good idea to get back together after one of them cheated. So the solution to the lack of trust is Couple Tracker. This is an app that you'll install on both you and your partners device. Then the app will share your call history, texts, location and activity with the other user. LOL I'm not even kidding. Some people live this way. If this app seems appealing to you then you should probably break up. If you don't want to break up then download this app. At least it's something.

Simpler Dialer
So there are still a few people out there that make phones calls on a regular basis. Hopefully this is something you plan on quitting soon but in the mean time you should try Simple Dialer. It resembles the stock dialer while giving you a bunch of customization options. So many dialer apps go way overboard with all the extras they pile on and ultimately ruin their app. This one is called Simple Dialer for a reason. It looks and functions great. Check it out!

Skype Qik: Group Video Chat
Qik isn't exactly an unheard of app but it doesn't have near the popularity that it's big brother Skype has. The best way to describe this app is that it's a mixture of Skype and Snapchat. My favorite feature is the ability to create group chats where everyone can easily share videos. There really isn't anything else like it that works as well as this does. So I highly recommend giving this one a shot.
Download
Marco Polo Video Walkie Talkie
Marco Polo doesn't really serve any practical use but it is pretty fun. It's another video sharing app but with tons of video and audio filters. It's great for kids but anyone over 14 might not be too interested in this one. You might find that it's a fun and entertaining way to keep in touch with your kid who is beginning to hate you as a parent. It's a cool app but with a very specific audience. Nothin' wrong with that.
Download
Signal Private Messenger
Ever wonder if someone is spying on your messages? Spoiler alert: They are. Intergalactic aliens have the technology to intercept your messages unless they have a strong encryption. That's the idea behind Signal. Chat freely with your partners in crime without worrying about Aliens using your chatlogs to study human behavior. So what sets this chat app apart from all of the other encrypted app options? Phone calls. You can also make private phone calls over VOIP with the Signal app. So if you're ready to get serious about your privacy, you should check out this app.
Download
So are there any great apps that you use for communication that everyone else seems to miss? If so let a comment down below and let people know about it!
Qik will be shut off next month. So, a little late for it...
Guys is it possible to develop a UWP App like bluestacks or droid4x for windows 10 mobile enabling users to run apk apps in a UWP App ......?
no, no and no... if you want android apps, BUY ANDROID DEVICE!!!
The only way is to use a website that allows you to try android apps so basically you need fast internet connection and to pay a subscription for the website you'll use

wow! wow! WOW! Stop your Android hating style of answers, bro!
I too hate Android OS, but I know that usually people could need some apps that aren't yet on Microsoft Store. If all devs from this world had the same ideas that you're showing us in your reaction to this question, then, XDA-Developers never was created.
We're here to find solutions and posibilities to our devices. If someone ask something, it could be because this person wants it in his/her device. Then, if there is no possible way today to install .apk and/or .ipa on Windows Mobile devices, we could find toghether a way to do it, without Astoria &/or Islanwood projects working.
We're here to help and get helped. Not to order to someone to get out of any idea or desire.

NOX, Bluestacks, Andy, Genymotion... are not yet compatible with Windows Mobile devices. Had you find another way to try it on W10M?
If there is a website, I would like to know it, because I wish to have apps like Snapchat or Periscope fully functional on my Lumia.

Running android apps from internet don't solve windows 10 mobile users problem at all ( you need to connected to internet 24/7 ) all the time ? but I was wondering if a android emulator could be developed inside a Universal app and enable users to run android apps in a universal app

Hello. I have a problem with phone payments after updating to android 13 in GT2 Pro. Payments stopped working. I checked through google wallet and directly through the bank application. A message appears on the terminal that the card is not supported, card reading error. I've already reset the banking app and cleared the app's memory, but it didn't help. Could the problem occur because I downloaded this system via VPN Germany? If I knew, I wouldn't install this android because I really care about phone payments. I do not know what to do. In Samsung, the matter was easier, among other things, because the Internet is full of Polish forums and Samsung has very good support and such problems were eliminated within a week. I don't even know where to write to get help. I factory reset my phone and it worked for two days and now it stopped working again. Card reading error pops up every time. What else can I do?
After updating to Android 13, I paid for the first time and it works for me so far.
After a factory reset it worked for 2 days. I will add that before the reset it was not working at all. I bought this phone because of payments and here's something. After a factory reset it worked for 2 days. I will add that before the reset it was not working at all. I bought this phone because of payments and here's something.
Thanks for pointing out this issue, I'll keep an eye on it.

I saw it too. My play store is certified so the problem lies elsewhere. Sorry for the wording, but I'm using google translate.
Hello everyone. Probably the problem with payments occurs only for people who have additional profiles on their phones, additional users, or a business profile for work. I just had a work profile and payments didn't work. I deleted the profile and everything is ok. But to be honest, I care about payments and the work profile, so I hope that some action will be taken to remove the error. I have no idea why this is happening but then the phone goes stupid and you can't pay. If you have any cloned apps, you may also have a problem. Let me know if I helped you and if the payments started working. Regards

Same situation as yours, tried all means (I heard about clone wallet app that will help but I assume the work profile somehow corrupts the nfc payment.)
manage to find an alternative "fix" create a sub account (multi user) and nfc/payment works in that sub account.
I am not using real me, I have an Xperia 10 III and updated to Android 13
I now have the same problem (and yes I have a work profile)
