Cheers for posting, but where oh where are the 'amazing deals' they claim to have?

Runtastic Pro for €0.10 is a steal however!

bajer101 · 02-03-2015 11:41pm

Just grabbed the Runtastic Running Pro app for €0.10. Can't argue with that.

charlie_says · 03-03-2015 12:48am

Runtastic for 10c. Thanks OP.

Got that too and it will install automatically on my Google Nexus, but wondering if there is a way to install from Google Play Store to use on my Windows phone. Anyone know how to do that?

There is no way to do that.

It's not possible.

It's like trying to install MS office on Linux. Never going to work.

Yep, just realized that was a really stupid question. I can see Runtastic Pro is available in Windows Store for 4.99.

I was going to post about this myself.

I bought FaceTune when it was €2.69, thought it was alright but not great, refunded. Got it again when it was €0.89, again found it to be Meh so I refunded it. Now that it's €0.10 I think I'll keep it haha.

BTW Runtastic gives you incorrect measurements when running at least, I always used sportypal for my tracker and when I got a Sony Smartwatch 2 i used runtastic but my distances were different.
I checked distances on mapmyrun and Runtastic was giving wrong distance whereas sportypal and Endomondo were correct.

Overall, this is a fairly rubbish special offer, and you can blame developers for that, especially when it comes to licensing. It's not quite Google's fault.

However, the best items are the two Runtastic apps and, especially, Wunderlist Pro. This is usually €44.99 per year, but it'll cost us €4.99 if you buy within the Android app. For this alone, it's worth it.

If you're a business owner or are someone in charge, get your team to buy this app for your staff and save hundreds. No joke.

Thanks OP.

Yeah, Wunderlist is incredible for productivity, note taking, list making, sharing ideas, syncing between devices and people and so on.

Its a pity they don't have a mirror sale for Windows Phone on at the moment, else I'd snap it up right now

Theres another page with more movies in the Play Birthday sale:

Picked up A Million ways to die in the West for €3 and Star trek into Darkness for €3.99

StaticNoise · 04-03-2015 1:26am

Go to local electronic store, or use an emulator (like Bluestacks or ManyMo), open app when logged into Android with your account. Buy pro cheap. Done.

Thanks for sharing. However, unless you're into movies, this isn't for you. Thanks though!

AlanS181824 · 04-03-2015 1:45am

Google Play isn't actually 3 until the 9th of March I believe so hopefully better offers to come!

fast_eddie · 04-03-2015 10:58am

If you buy the Wunderlist Pro annual subscription through the in-app purchase for $4.99, does that enable the Pro features of your account within Wunderlist clients on other platforms like Windows / iPhone ?

Thanks,
Eddie

StaticNoise · 04-03-2015 8:51pm

Yup. It's cross platform Pro. And I think you might even be be to stack them. I'm investigating it.

leck · 04-03-2015 10:42pm

I downloaded Wunderlist last night to my Google Nexus. Got an email a few minutes ago asking me to confirm my password and giving me the option to also download to other devices. I chose to install on Windows Phone and on my PC.

Confused on a couple of things - it's giving me the option to use my MS account, Facebook or Google or to create a new free account. Is there any good reason to choose one of these over the other? I'm inclined to use Google only because I use GMail and Google Calendar.

Also a few posts upthread have mentioned Wunderlist Pro - I can't find this in the store. Is it only available to business users or something? What are its advantages over the regular version?

EDITED TO ADD - I found how to upgrade to Wunderlist Pro - if I used Windows Phone or Windows 8 PC, it was going to cost me €44.99 for the year, but using the Google Nexus, it was USD4.99 for the year. I'm annoyed that the last time I looked at my Google Play account I had over USD50 in there, earned with some promotions, but all that value expired on March 2.

And yes, the Pro annual sub on the Android device has enabled the Pro version on the two Windows devices - I think that answers Fast Eddie's question up above.
