So who is taking advantage of the .10 cent apps?

Bought a few games, their all right.

The real gems here have been ADWLauncher, StarChart and Swiftxkey.

If you dont have any of those already and didnt pick them up you seriously missed out.

I am still using go launcher but as soon as my finals are out i will begin my playing around with ADW.

So far have bought Read it later Pro, Swiftkey and Soundhound

Maybe this will help you:

So far have bought Read it later Pro, Sketchbook and Soundhound. Bought SwiftkeyX back when it was still Swiftkey.

The first day was the best, now it's more about mediocre games.

I'm still wondering if this campaign will:

1) Teach more people to buy apps, or
2) Teach people to only buy free or nearly-free apps.

Amazon looks like they're matching the prices. I bought Tetris over there for .10 because the Market said it's not compatible with either of my tablets. Bought it off Amazon and installed it with no problems. Looks great on my Tab.

I purchased ADW Ex and Beautiful Widgets so far.

Got Beautiful Widgets the other day and just snagged Shazam Encore, well worth the .10 for each!

Here are the apps from Day 1:

Great Little War Game, SketchBook Mobile, Paper Camera x2, Sound Hound x2, Asphalt 6, Fieldrunners HD, SwiftKey, Minecraft, Endomondo Sports Tracker Pro, Color and Draw for Kids

I picked up the items in Red on Day 2 - they had not rolled back prices and this is when I found out about the sale. Items with a x2 I bought for me and my wife. I have yet to try Paper Camera so I can't really provide input on it. Sound Hound is something I have used before and like - I just figured I'd be happy to pay the 10 cents to get the non-free version. Asphalt 6 was purchased for my 8 year old - but he hasn't had a chance to use it yet due to being grounded from games for a while. I tried it and I suck at it or it sucks. I think the former is more likely than the latter. None of these are items that I think I would have paid full price for. The delta between paid and unpaid SoundHound is hard to really pin down, and the others I have little interest in but at the promo price they were worth the gamble.

Day 2: NFL Rivals, Reckless Racing, Read it Later Pro, Flick Golf, Fruit Ninja, Christmas HD live wallpaper, AirSync by doubleTwist, Star Chart, Beautiful Widgets x2, The Berenstain Bears' Bedtime Battle

Of these Beautiful Widgets was the clear winner for me. I bought a copy for me and my wife - really well worth it. I had been using Fancy Widgets (free) and it's good but not as good in some ways. I really like the Toggle options that I got from Beautiful Widgets - the timed silence option is a gem. I would have bought this at full price had I known all the features. Fruit Ninja - while cute - is a bit of a let down as far as I can tell. It's just that I expected more - something with levels and twists and turns not just a frenzied dash. I would not repurchase this at full price. Star Chart seems a little unresponsive - but so does Google Sky on my D2G - the accuracy of where I'm pointing is pretty shaky. I'm not sure if I would buy this at full price - but I am not ruling it out yet. I like the nighttime mode (red on black) which is a big plus if you are actually planning to look at stars. Reckless Racing is another game purchased with the 8 year old in mind - I suck at this one also. I would not have purchased it at full price.

Day 3: Talking Tom Cat 2, Reckless Getaway, ADW EX Launcher, Tetris, Space Physics, Can Knockdown 2, Homerun Battle 3D, Toki Tori, Kids Learn to Read, Blue Skies Donation Wallpaper

I picked up ADW EX Launcher on a whim. I like the idea of an alternate launcher and wanted to tinker with it. So far I like it. I came from a Palm Pre Plus and I like the App Drawer being horizontal if I want it and paged if I want it. I would probably pay full price but I need to tinker longer to tell.

Day 4: Spirit HD, Shazam Encore, Sentinel 3: Homeworld, Farm Frenzy, Toddler Spanish, Need for Speed Shift, Jelly Defense, Game Dev Story, Baseball Superstars 2011, My Beach HD

Zip... nada. I have Soundhound already and already prefer it over Shazam. None of the rest appeal to me.

More when the new titles arrive...

Trying to purchase Game Dev Story and push it to my Tab at home. Market keeps timing out.

I'm having the same problem trying to buy Paper Camera...

With this deal going on their servers might be getting overloaded.

I had the same problem earlier with Shazam, finally just installed it from my phone directly. I agree, the servers are most likely overloaded.

Same here, can't purchase anything among todays deals.

I had problems on one or two of the apps I picked up on the other days - each time I just retried a few times and it worked fine. I have not tried today. In all cases I picked these up via the Phone's own Market app.

Unbelievably, I have not purchased one. I either have the ones I want, or picked them up at Amazon.

Still watching. I MUST have one of these 10 cent apps... I must.

I've bought quite a few apps so far. I mean...$0.10.

Day 1:
Great Little War Game, SketchBook Mobile, Paper Camera x2, Sound Hound x2, Minecraft,

Day 2:
Reckless Racing, Flick Golf, Fruit Ninja, AirSync by doubleTwist

Day 3:
Reckless Getaway, ADW EX Launcher, Tetris, Space Physics,

Day 4:
Spirit HD, Sentinel 3: Homeworld, Game Dev Story,

What do you think of them? Were they worth more? Which one's were a disappointment that you're glad you only spent a dime on?

So I will start it off. I just found out today about the sale, so I missed out on any previous apps that went on sale. I'm very curious to hear what I may have missed out on...

Today I purchased Tetris, ADW EX, Blue Skies and Reckless Get Away.

Tetris - It's Tetris, everyone knows about this game. It's an all time classic as long as it plays well on your phone platform. In my case it does (SGS2). This will be my 'go to' game whenever I find myself waiting in line or waiting on the wife.

Reckless Get Away - I havent played it yet, because upon opening the app it stated that it was going to download to my SD card. Problem is, I dont have an SD card yet. Instead it appeared to start downloading directly to my phone. I had to stop because memory space is too valuable.

ADW EX - I have briefly played with this, and I must admit it seems a little confusing. In short, this app seems to allow total customization of the home screen, pages, widgets, and who knows what else. Those reasons alone, is why I left my iPhone behind. The little I have seen, it looks pretty awesome and I cant wait to learn how to use this. On a negative note, I have noticed that the 'Messaging Icon' is no longer responding when I launch this app. Kind of disappointed in that. I'm hoping it's a bug and gets fixed quick because I need to text!

Blue Skies - In short, it's a live wallpaper of moving clouds in the sky. It looks really cool, and has a few customization to really trick it out a bit. I like seeing the skyline in real time from my environment (Night time, the moon comes out, etc.)This app takes advantage of your beautiful screen and dual core processor, and isnt that why you bought it?

I got quite a few of them so far, but my two favorite are Beautiful Widgets and ADW Launcher Ex it is absolutely amazing!!!

For the safety of my phone I will not put this game on my phone.

I noticed this as well. Looks like it pushed Tetris to the top of their paid app list.



Jumped on ADW EX (Go launcher seems a little slower these days.) Also got Homerun Battle.

Finally decided to grab ADW EX and also got Shazam today .. great deal because I was planning on buying both Soundhound and Shazam after the new year *woot*
