In the Amazon App Store. I've had it for years. It does have it's quirks, which is why it would be nice for people to get it for free! But the radar is a nice feature.

It shouldn't be a trial. All of the free apps I've gotten from Amazon were the full version.
Also, if you download one of the free apps that are generally paid apps, if you uninstall if from your phone, it saves it in your apps in Amazon if you decide to reinstall later. Kind of like your paid apps in the Android Market.

I say trial cause u said that its free today which kinda implies that it wont be free any other day. Which means a trial period in which its free so that people download it even when it goes back to costing money to get it.

The weird thing is Angry-Birds Rio was a daily free app on Amazon, and I downloaded it. Then I had to wipe my phone because it was shutting-down all the time (which had nothing to do with Angry-Birds Rio). And I figured it was no longer free on Amazon. So I looked on Android market and it was free there, not just for a day, but free forever.
I wonder if Weatherbug-Elite will show up free on the Android Market now.

You guys do know if you download an app from the Amazon App Store that they have no way of removing the app from your phone? The Android Market has that power. If an app is detected or reported as malicious they can immediately remove the app from your phone. Amazon cannot do that meaning the app will wreak havoc on your device and you won't notice it until its too late.

I was answering the guys question before my post about if the android market was showing the same thing or not.

I've never had an app removed by the Market. I guess I've been lucky.
And yeah, the freebies are staying up for a few days. I'm not sure how long, though.
As for the difference between free and elite, I can't remember all of the difference because it's been a while since I had the free version. I know a biggie is that the ads are gone. You also have customizable widgets that I don't think you get with the free version, and the radar, but they might have that on the free one now. I'm not sure.

I installed it. Couldn't get the widgets to load, it then said I was in Kenya, changed my TB time to 7 hours ahead and it destroyed my battery. 40% gone in an hour with no use, with background update shut off. Free or not, no thank you

The only issue I've ever had on any phone, not just the T-Bolt, is sometimes the weather won't load right in my notification bar. I tap on it, and it goes back to normal. Other than that, no issues.

Angry Birds Rio launched as an Amazon app store exclusive. It was free the day the Amazon store launched. It is a paid ad free version, the version you are seeing on the Android market is a free version with ads. Other then the adds though it is the same app.
It wasn't available on the Android market until a week or two after the Amazon app store launched.

Thanks! Working good on my phone too....I even got an alert (wind advisory) where I am. I've been looking for a new weather app since TWC crapped out after the last update. I was looking at this just 2 days ago, but didn't want to pay for it. I love this new amazon app store, I just keep forgetting to check for the new free daily app! Glad someone is keeping an eye on it

And Google has used this a grand total of once in how many years? Also the Amazon App Store approves all apps before they can be put on the market (just like Apple), Google doesn't do that.
So no they can't remote wipe an app, however since they approve all of the apps the chances of a bad one getting through are slim.
