Must Have Android Apps and Games?

marcbrophy · 25-04-2014 10:19am

Today's Amazon AOTD is a selection of 11 different apps, with a music theme.

There's a piano app, TuneIn Pro, Shamzam Encore, music player, guitar learning apps, a dj-ing app and music editing

I reckon there's something for everyone. I like tunein pro, but I got it a few years back when the then 'android marketplace' was selling it for 10c

It says that it is a one week trial and a lifetime license will cost €2.99

It's well worth the 2.99. What price do you put on a lost/stolen device?

I'm not saying that it is not worth the price, but the original post made it sound like the app was free for today.

Got some more info from their Google Plus account, they will give everyone who registers within 30 hours of the post a free account.

It initially looked good, but isn't it a bit limited ? For example if I want to set a location event so that when I'm home for example my screen lock doesn't apply, things like that?

That's not the intended use for the app.

I can only get the piano app. The rest of them are listed when I click on the free 32pound of app but I can't download any of them. Is anyone else having this issue?

What's the one that's similar to Tasker but is a lot more basic?

For Tasker with a better UI, check out AutomateIT. Excellent app.

This happening on the website or the android app?

I tested it there with Shazam.
It gave me an error after I tapped on install button (Please try later, to that effect).
I pressed OK on the error message and tapped install again.
The second time it started downloading.

If you're seeing the error message like I did, maybe try press install again, to see if it works.

It also see when a new SIM has been put into the phone and emails you with the number of the new SIM card.

Android PCAP Kismet Wireless

Android PCAP Capture is a utility for capturing raw 802.11 frames (“Monitor mode”, or sometimes referred to as “Promiscuous mode”).

Android PCAP Capture uses an external USB RTL8187 Wi-Fi card and does not require a custom ROM or root privileges.

This has been out a while, but it is certainly a novelty, using an external Wifi dongle alongside your device, not being Rooted..

YouTube user Andrew McNeil has an interesting project which gives you an idea of what you can do with hardware, alongside your phone.
