Android Apps - Daily video reviews by AndroidApps.com

At the beginning of 2011 there wasn’t a single dedicated Android tablet app. Now it’s the end of the year and we are inundated with them. New Android tablets are released monthly by the likes of Samsung, Motorola and Amazon, and there’s a whole bunch of great tablet-optimized apps to go along with them. Here are some of our favorites this year. There’s no better way to experience the glory of HD movies and TV than on a fast and powerful tablet with a large, bright screen, providing you’re a subscriber to the service of course. This is why Netflix is here, and why it also made our general Best Android Apps of 2011 list. After a rough start, Android tablet users can now enjoy a Netflix experience their iPad-owning friends have been used to for a while. If you like to read magazines on your Android tablet, then Zinio is Read More

Android and Me

Yesterday, Google kicked off their ten-day long celebration of hitting the 10 billion mark for total apps downloaded by giving away 10 premium applications for 10 cents a piece. Over the next 9 days, Google will be offering a total of 90 more applications (10 per day) for the same 10 cent price. Though Google hasn’t yet updated their list for toady’s deals, several developers from today’s sale have already reduced their prices. We’ll update the list as we learn of all the apps (brownie points if you discover the other two). Today’s list, so far: If any of these titles interest you, and you haven’t purchased them already, you may want to head over to the market using the links above. If you haven’t yet managed to score yesterday’s applications, they can still be had for a limited time, but we expect they’ll increase in price later on today. Read More

Android Apps - Daily video reviews by AndroidApps.com

Android’s gaming ecosystem continues to blossom, from marketplaces to hardware. WildTangent has launched a new app rental service targeting social and casual gamers, offering a variety of free and rental titles to download. The gamer hub can be accessed through WildTangent’s new Android app, directing you to recommended and featured titles like Doodle Jump, Fruit Ninja and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The moneymaker for WildTangent is its virtual currency, which is used to purchase and rent games. Games are certainly going the route of music and movies, but the integration of virtual currency is a direct link between gamers, publishers and marketers. Several aspects of the gaming industry has taken to virtual goods, with complex systems for incentivizing gamers and squeezing more money out of them through games that are initially free. Tapjoy has seen quite a boom thanks to virtual goods, and DeNa’s virtual currency growth has helped Read More

I love taking photos wherever I go and have a particular fondness for street art, architecture, and things out of the ordinary. I carry a small point-and-shoot camera with me, but more and more, I'm reaching for my smartphone first because it's easier to share its pictures with others and also because of great apps like FxCamera. With FxCamera, you can take photos using one of five effects: ToyCam, Polandroid, Fisheye, SymmetriCam, and Warhol. Polandroid and Fisheye are my favorite, and though I try not to use effects too much, you can get some really cool-looking photos.

| 05/25/2011 The easiest way to share my favorite Android apps, for the HTC ThunderBolt as well as the other devices I review, is to show you my homescreens. Like the iPhone, Android phones allow you to place shortcuts to your favorite apps on your various homescreens. Unlike the iPhone, you can also include widgets that give you fast access to information without opening apps. Above you’ll see five of the seven screens I use daily on my ThunderBolt. These are my favorite Android apps and while there will be a few additions and removals over time, these apps have earned a spot on my home screen. On the main screen of the HTC ThunderBolt you will see my most used apps and widgets. First off you’ll notice the HTC Sense Weather and Clock Widget. This tells me the time, weather and date.

Gaming on an Android device is always a great way to pass some time and to have countless hours of fun while on the go. If you are into gaming, and love your Android device, be sure to check out some of our favorite Android games below. It's hard to pass up a simple yet challenging game, and X Construction is just that. The concept is simple: Build a bridge to get the train safely across the valley. The execution, however, is not so simple. It starts off slow to allow you to get the hang of constructing bridges and then the difficulty ramps up fairly quickly (even on easy). Initially, you're given steel girders and then later in the game, you'll see the introduction of steel cables to help reinforce your bridge. Lots of trial and error is in store as you figure out the most rigid bridge possible Read More

Imagine this business case: A mobile game where users slice a veritable mélange of virtual fruit, and pay to do it. I'd laugh. Several million downloads later, Halfbrick Studios has the last laugh as Fruit Ninja ($.99) slashes up the mobile charts for Android (tested here), iPhone, iPad, and Windows Phone 7. Despite a silly premise, Fruit Ninja is a stealth hitter: sharp graphics, succulent sound effects, and dead-simple game play makes this an ideal way to enliven idle time, be it on a commute, between meetings, or as a side to lunch. Three Servings of Fruit Fruit Ninja arrives in three servings. The primary mode, Classic, is an endurance game.

Finding stellar Android apps isn't the easiest task, but that certainly doesn't mean they don't exist. Here's the cream of the crop. Twitter: The official Twitter app is good enough for almost everyone. Along with giving you a clean, easy way to keep track of your timeline and updating your status, Twitter for Android also has a snazzy swipe down to refresh feature. Free. Facebook: Facebook is finally decent on Android and now actually brings some unique features, namely the front page side-scroll of friend's recent photos and a pull up notification window. Free. Google+: It's Google's big soiree into social "sharing". The app has it all: a stream that shows what your friends are talking about (like Facebook), Huddle which is an easy to set up group chats (like GroupMe) and will even automatically upload the pictures you take on your phone to the cloud (like iCloud).

Android Apps - Daily video reviews by AndroidApps.com

This week was huge in Android games, with GameStop’s release of its Kongregate Arccade app, then its abrupt prohibition from the Market. The move shook the mobile game industry, making us wonder about the direction of extended game platforms (and especially Google’s long-term intentions). Fortunately, there’s plenty of other new games to play this week, with some big name updates to check out as well. GameStop made a precedent-setting release this week, launching the Kongregate Arcade app as a portal to its hundreds of Flash-based games. The game platform made another first—being the first to get kicked out of the Android Market. We’re not sure if the Kongregate Arcade app will ever return, but you can still access the app through its website, and through GetJar’s independent platform as well. Dungeon Defenders: First Wave has gotten its first major content update, bringing furry pet friends into the game, along with new Read More

It's amazing how little variation there is in the top game downloads week after week. It seems that the only thing to have a major impact on the list is when big companies put their games on sale. There's no major sale going on this week, so today's list looks strikingly similar to the lists over the past few weeks.

He is currently an advisor to Appolicious. In his previous guest posts, he gave us his picks for top iPhone apps.

Mobile gaming has matured more in the past year than in almost any year before, thanks in no small part to the propagation of the iPhone and smartphones running Google‘s powerful Android operating system. Even as some mobile games have become more sophisticated than most of their predecessors, others have used the available technology to make simple amusement that much more engaging. These five games launched in the past year and each made a noteworthy contribution to the exploding scene of mobile games.

Fruit Ninja: Fruit Ninja, another popular iPhone port, comes over to Android and brings the simple, addicting fun of chopping up fruits on your phone. The premise of the game is simple: fruits fly on screen and you slice them by swiping your finger. Slice as many fruits as you can while avoiding bombs. It has OpenFeint support too so you can see where you stack with the rest of the world. Lots of fun for $0.99. Mini Info: A nice system monitor app/widget for Android that displays battery charge, memory, and/or SD memory information in the widget and more detailed analysis of CPU and RAM monitoring, network, brightness and volume. It's free so if you geek out over percentage levels and bytes, give it a run. Comic Reader Mobi: Comic Reader Mobi supports RAR, ZIP, CBR, and CBZ files and you can stream comics from WebDAV server. What's neat about Read More

App Review: Fruit Ninja

Absolutely Android | Absolutely Android

Background Information A port of the popular iOS game where the player slashes fruit. Application Description As someone who owns an iPod Touch, I have a fair amount of experience with this game, in fact, it’s one of my favourite games to play on the go. Obviously I was excited when I heard this was coming to Android, and even more so when I actually got my hands on it. If you’ve played the iOS version don’t expect anything revolutionary but that isn’t a bad thing, the game is still a great and cheap time-burner. It has two modes: Classic and Zen. Classic involves slashing the fruit while avoiding the bombs. If you drop 3 pieces of fruit or slash a bomb by accident it’s game over, slash multiple pieces of fruit in one swipe and you’ll chain together a combo and there’s also critical slashes which will score you and Read More

September 15, 2010 | by Andrew Kameka Fruit is your enemy. A sword is your friend. You, noble young warrior, are a Fruit Ninja. The popular iPhone game has made its way to Android and is now available for slicing and dicing produce on multiple platforms. Fruit Ninja is a game in which fruit is thrown into the air and users must use their fingers to split each fruit in two. Special points are earned for chopping rare kinds or in quick succession, and players must be careful that they don’t cut the flying bombs or let fruit hit the ground intact. Available now for 99 cents USD, Fruit Ninja is a simple but fun game that requires focus and precise movements. It’s also the first to use OpenFeint, a gaming system that allows developers to track leaderboards and challenges across platforms (more on that later). Here’s a video of me Read More

This is one of my favorite android games on android. Great action and the best way to kill 3 minutes of idle time. Only two things. There seems to be a bug either with Feint or the App where it will occasionally loses my game stats (unlocked blades, backgrounds, high score etc.) This usually happens when I play the game in an internet dead zone. Starting over every time this happens gets kinda old. The only other issue is the lack of updates. Dev, please get this up to sped with the iPhone version!

Easily the most fun game on the Android Marketplace. I have never played this game on Iphone, so I don't know what I am missing, but this game is so much fun, and is more fun (at least to me) than Angry Birds. The only issue I have with the game is OpenFeint. OpenFeint is extremely annoying to work with, and I wish they had a workaround so I could compare scores with my friends playing on Iphone, like Words with Friends.

I owned this on the iPhone and initially enjoyed it but became frustrated because as you master the combo technique, you realise that your score is not dependant on skill but simply the amount of fruit the game allows on screen. I gave the game another chance as my Xperia Neo is far more powerful than my old 3G but the fruit limit is a game design error, not a hardware limitation. Fun for occasional play but look elsewhere for depth.

Awesome game but... Yeah its an awesome game but some of the open feint achievements don't work properly like Night Shift (Ive played over 30 games between 2am to 5am central time), Connected Ninja (since there is no way to , at least that I know of, post a score to facebook of twitter on android from the application itself), and finally Perfectionist (which I assume I can't get because Night Shift and Connected Ninja are not working lol)

I bought both the THD version and the regular version. The fruit in the THD version is more round and has less sharp edges. The textures on the fruit also looks like it was improved in the THD version. That being said, if you are just looking for a fun time slicing fruit the regular version is probably good enough for you. To be honest, when I first played both games, I had trouble spotting the differences. As I paid more attention to the details (instead of trying to play the game), I started noticing that the watermelon was slightly more round in the THD version and the textures were slightly better... all minor details when the gameplay is the same. It would be nice if the THD and regular versions were combined together so people didn't have to pay extra just to take advantage of their improved hardware.

wrote Halfbrick about the issue to no avail... do they even care? game lags. at first I thought it was app2sd so I moved it to the phone's memory. works a little better but still lags from time to time. kills the game since it doesn't recognizes your cuts. you make your slice, fruit falls, then it recognizes your slice... not good. oddly enough, Puss in Boots version works fine, even on app2sd. No HD graphics like the other versions as well. Halfbrick needs to seriously update this game. lack of support is killing this game. you guys want to protect your franchise? UPDATE!!! or soon no one will care and move on to different games by different studio.

This is my only paid app. It's very fun and I was addicted for several months with trying to beat my prior scores. However, arcade mode is the mode I play and it unfortunately comes down to luck -- how many bonus bananas are offered in a single round. Wish it were balanced. I eventually hit 867. It seemed I'd never beat it so I've stopped playing. Zen mode is too hard to get a high score and original mode takes too long. On my phone, LG Optimus V, the game can run a little choppy. You can't swipe too fast.

Thanks for the update with new features and to sort out permissions. You only get three stars because it is still not OK for you to add invasive permissions, remove them and only explain the ones you kept. I want an explanation on why you had the invasive permissions in the first place. You still suckered a few thousand people into releasing their contact data to you. I think they deserve to know what you did with that info.

Patrick

I just spent the last 20 mins playing games over and over so I can get 5000 points and get a new reward from the last update. When a finally got there, you know what my reward was? "No reward available in your area." Thanks for nothing! Waste of time! (PS: to those complaining about location permissions in update THIS would be the reason. Apparently, rewards are location specific. Also they're not using your GPS only your "course" or rough location, eg country or state. GPS requires a different permission)

Ryan

Updated my review after getting a LONG OVERDUE UPDATE. You proved me wrong. I thought you abandoned all Android users in favor of iOS users being that they always get their updates. I don't mind if we are a few updates behind but it shouldn't take months or year/s just to give us the same feature update on iOS. Even with the most recent update, closing the app on an i9100 stock LP7, the app refuses to close. I have to exit the app and use the task manager to close it. Hopefully you'll be more willing to update your Android apps now. One problem that bugged me after your 1.7.5 update is the Beintoo integration. While I do like the idea of being rewarded IRL for a game I play on my phone, it would be better if it wasn't that intrusive. Instead of seeing the fruit facts, we see a bar showing how much points we have. It doesn't add anything to the game so it should just be contained in its own Rewards section. We should not be forced to see the reward every couple of games and it honestly feels like an ad was popping up. It doesn't help that Beintoo doesn't have a presence from where I'm from so those rewards don't really matter to me.

CoffeeGeek

This game still asks far too many permissions, though the latest update sorts some out. But I'm pretty angry about the ad system built into this update, on the paid version. You gain "points" to "spend" on stuff that is actually free to find online - it's just a scam to get you to visit sites that no doubt have paid Halfbrick money. Halfbrick, keep your scam point system advertisement engine in free version. It should be no where near the paid version at all. Uninstalling, which sucks because otherwise, the game play can be good. This is why I PAID you for the game, because I was paying for an app. Don't run ads on my PAID game.

Tim

Fruit Ninja is a great game, but this new "Beintoo" borderline scam added to the app is an insult to everyone who has paid for the game. Essentially, playing Fruit Ninja causes you to earn points, which in turn gives you "Beintoo dollars" and coupons you can use in the real world. The thing is, all these coupons and play money you "earn" don't actually pay for anything that isn't already freely available through your web browser. It is literally nothing but a collection of web advertisements. This is worse than free. You're actually paying virtual money to click links to ads - ads I could already access via my web browser without paying silly virtual money to do so - and Halfbrick calls these "rewards." What? Come on Halfbrick, we bought your game because we like the game, and bundling this trash with the paid version is just extremely disrespectful.

This is an excellent game and a fun brand of stress relief. The only hassle is when you swipe too enthusiastically and accidentally touch 'home' or 'back' touch pad, which whistles you straight out of the game! It does pause and let you start again where you left off, once you open it again, but it does interrupt your flow a bit. Won't be an issue for phones with real buttons. Like others said, ads are aggravating as well. But I still enjoy the game.
