Hello,
my first app called "Personal Shopping Assist" has arrvied at the marketplace.
With PSA you can take a picture from a product barcode an then have a look at the best price from the internet. So you can decide to buy it in the shop or order it online.
At the moment the app searches with google-shopping but in the next version I'll add support for ebay, amazon and son german price-finding-websites. And for the future it is planed to support testwebsites like ciao! too, so you can read what a product is rated befor you buy it.
Till now only version 1.0 is online, but version 1.1 is already in the certification-process. With version 1.1 the barcode recognition has dramtically increased.
Thank you to everyone to try it
Can not find the app via search, in which category can i find the program?
Thanks.
I have renamed the App (on marketplace) to "PSA Barcodereader" so all the users who search for "barcode" can find it.
When you search for "PSA" or "barcode" you should find it. Alternativly you can look under "Livestyle / Shopping"
Question
I have two questions.
Is the application multilingually, particularly German?
Can the application read only barcode or also QR code (matrix barcode)?

1. Yes it is fully multilingual (UI and searchresults). At the moment only English and German, but Spanish, Francis and Italiano will follow tomorrow with version 1.3
2. At the Moment the App only reads EAN13-barcodes because that is the most used type for products. The development for EAN8 and the formats for USA and japan is currently in progress
$1.29 and bad reviews?
Good luck with that.
Works for me, and the prices are very good for Germany.
Maybe you can make it possible to filter the results, for example only for Amazon. I don't want to register in a new shop just to save a few cents.
it says on the XDA portal that it's free, yet it's 99p on marketplace (I know that's not much, but saying its free then it has to be paid for is not good).
I see it's only got 2 stars, I prefer to make my own judgement on apps, and also with there not being many reviews it's not subjective (it could be a competitor marking it down to give their own app an advantage).

There is only one "bad" review with two stars and that guy ratet it based on the first version wich has a little bug in the barcode recognition algo.
At the moment the app is on thrid place under "top lifestyle" and on 151th place on the over all top list.
and the ranking in the topslists on appsfuze is good too.

thank you very much for this input... I'll implement a feature for selecting the "favorite shops" and the search result will be fist grouped by favorite shop / not favorit shop and then sorted by price... ok?

thank you for you support... the portal is a litle bit lazy... when you go to marketplace on the phone there are 4 reviews, three with 5 stars and one with 2 stars, so the actual total ratig is 4 stars.
but anyway... I will do my best to make the app as good as possible, so that anyone who bought it will be satisfied with it.

Sounds good!
I guess there will be an update via Marketplace at some time?
Another suggestion: Let the user choose which information to show in the list. I think it would be better to see the shop's name instead of the full description in for example.
Is it possible to see the shipping cost as well?
Doesn't work on my Omnia7, launches the Barcode scan screen for a second then brings up the Camera for a normal picture which is then whited out due to the flash going off at close range.

Thank you for your offer, but deloyment is only through marketplace at the moment, but if you or some one else could upload some pictures of UPC-barcodes, that would be fine. A use has told us through the feedback fetaure the there would be a problem with a tailing "0" in upc barcodes.
thanks for your help

Hello,
if you have installed the trial version, there is a general marketplace bug… in some cases it is not possible to update trial version. But you can get the updated version if you uninstall the current version and reinstall the new version from marketplace.

Has anyone tried either - or, preferably, both - of these applications? I'm looking for something that can open Office files on the Android... How to they compare?
On another note - does anyone not in the US have experience in buying them? I would like to be legal and buy them - however, they don't show up on the Marketplace - I'm assuming that it's because I have an (unlocked) UK Phone with a Hungarian SIM card...
Thanks for the comments!

Get Documents To Go. Way better.
In QuickOffice, you can't edit your documents!
Aha!
An excellent point there - Documents to go it is
Now if someone can just point me in the direction of "how to buy - and I do actually want to buy - it when your marketplace doesn't support paid apps"
so you seriously want to pay the $20 for it?

Nope. Paid apps don't show up on my market - it's either my UK phone, or my Hungarian SIM :S
I got DocumentsToGo... it's really cheap considering it is the only app that can do what it does.
i bet someone probably already shared it with the world on some "site"

I wasn't going to, but I did. True, it is the standard version now, but they promised a discount on upgrades. That's why I pulled the trigger and bought it. Their .pdf reader on Palm was nice.
I've used their Documents to Go for 6 years now. I was so grateful they came out with the Android version!
Documents to Go has been updated to version 2.0
100 times faster than before!
Aaand a free version for editing XLS(X) and DOC(X)!
I've been using Doc2go and there is nothing like it. Its a shame that google has yet to release a google documents app with offline support for android. It could have been a killer feature. OpenOffice.org should have released an app also, to get people familiar with their free office solutions on the desktop. I just read today that the thinkfree free office solution for the phone is coming out.
I know a ton of people check this subforum for new application releases from the big companies and I didn't see this mentioned.
Amazon Mobile has released an official application for Android.
Get it: http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.amazon.mShop.android
Search, compare prices, read reviews, and securely purchase from Amazon and thousands of other merchants. Includes Remembers: Snap a photo or scan a barcode, and we will try to find a similar product on Amazon.com. Many matches are instant; others take just a few minutes. Requires OS 1.5 or greater.

Thanks for posting this!
As I always do with big companies like this, I checked Amazon's website to see if they truly had released an app and someone wasn't just playing with us in a phishing scam. It's legit, it's real, and here's the link:
Amazon's Press Release
I'm not a huge Amazon user, but I do shop there from time to time. This is really a great way to reach customers. Kudos to Amazon!
Now if they could just make a Kindle reader for Android...

It's a tool some italian guys developed before Google opened the Italian market for paid apps so they could buy in the US one.
Besides allowing that, it comes with an added benefit and it's that it allows getting any app from the US market, even if it isn't available for the UK, Spanish or any other market.
The app requires root, but that I suppose won't be a problem for any xda user. You can get it here
Amazon.com app
Just found out about this app and it sounds really interesting. Only issue is it's not available on the market in the UK (at least... I assume it isn't. I can't find it...)
Would someone be able to upload the apk? It's a free app so I'm not stealing it or anything
And I understand it probably only searches amazon.com, but I'm really not that bothered about that
There's already discussion on this. It was the third result when I searched: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544239

Since a lot of people come here looking for the latest last.fm APK, I've decided to keep it up to date on the first post.
Please note, that Last.fm service is not free any more outside US, UK, and Germany.
For full changelog, see the following page http://bit.ly/lastfm-android
You can find older versions as well as patched version (to run outside US, UK, and Germany) of the app here http://www.csmarshal.com/android/ (provided by midafaya).
Thanks for the heads up, sounds great. Congrats on 400 posts

Thanks! What a weird day, I've hit 600 in CMS Made Simple forums today and just like here, I didn't notice it
Can someone please attach the APK? Thanks!
Up for the APK... can't find in market...
Here you go...
edit
too late............
Looks like last.fm blocks traffic from norway or something. Got the comminication error in the previous version and was hoping that 1.1 would solve the problem, it did not .
Anyways, thanks a bunch for providing the APK
I think they've made it paid for everyone outside UK or something.

Nope. Due to licensing issues it isn't available outside of a very select list of countries. These include, the US, UK, Germany, and several others that I don't remember

It can be coincidence, but my app started working after i paid for a subscription at last.fm. I did not however try to stream music before i paid. Foolish i have to admit
i died try, didnt work before, worked after, might even upgrade my 3g speed cuz of this ^^
I think they should at least publish the apk file on their homepage for paying customers even though outside the countries listed before.
Thanx for posting the apk file!
Cheers, Håkan
I agree with you, but I think that's what XDA is great for
Hello, Do I need a last.fm suscription? I have a normal last.fm user and I get server error connection.

All you should need is a user account. Their servers might be down.
There's actually a newer version now, but that's besides the point.
Last.fm is only free in the UK (and also Germany, I think). I see you're from the states, so it won't work. And I'm not even sure if it will work on Android phone if you get a subscription.
Anyone try it?
I used it on WM 6.1 on my old Hermes 160 and i was very pleased.
Now i thinking to put it on Hero.

The GUI looks very clear and nice. But I wonder that when it is released and What maps does it have? I live in Vietnam and I don't know does it have Vietnam's map?

Where can I buy the app. We don`t have access to paid apps in Norway.

Currently you cannot buy it separately, it is only available with "Samsung Galaxy Spica" as a free addition at a Hungarian mobile operator. Hopefully they will release as an individual product soon. I have no more info. http://www.igomyway.com/android/en/faq.html
There is not any info about required android version either.
as long as someone can get that kit... i think we can modify it to work in any language with any map.
any news on this?

Why not try supporting developers, buy their software, and show your support? Maybe then we'll get quality apps.

A very handy app.
I'm going to install it and let you know what I think about it.
If I were you, I would:
-Add "Windows Phone" to the supported platforms;
-Make it "ad supported" because 1€ is too much for somethink you can just bing for;
But it's just my opinion...
Pretty simple and straightforward. It is certainly easier than searching manually for this information.
Thanks for the app.

ad 1) do you mean "NoDo" supported?
ad 2) i'd like to develop the app further. so i would prefer keeping the app price at 0.99EUR/app. do you really think it is too expensive? as from a real personal point of view, i would really find the app useful, casue im checking release dates frequently via browser and therefore tried to improve the useability of my app. or in other words: i tried to keep my app as "clean" as possible, and tried to make as much info available as fast as possible.

thanks for your reply mate. its reall satisfying to hear that kind of feedback after developing your first app
do you have any other ides for further developing? i can only think of things like "post release on fb, or twitter". im kind of "running out of ides" ...
thx, sam
Here's an idea...
Click on the game to visit it's official site/FB page or to see game images/screencaps to get more information. I don't know whether this could be done automatically, or even by using the name of the game in a Bing search.
For example, if I click on 'COD MW3' I am shown a list of links to the game website/FB page/reviews etc. I can then choose which ones I want to see.
Basic example attached in screenshots... you could of course add some images if you liked
Hmmm getting 'Error downloading data'
EDIT: Only seems to happen on mobile data. On WiFi, it is ok.

Thanks again for your feedback This problem most likely occured because of your network connection. The app downloads data asynchronously from a website depending on your desired region. While downloading you see the "downloading data" screen. If any of the downloads fails (e.g: Xbox360, Ps3, WII), you will get this message as I was thinking that the user experience would suffer if you might see only WII data but nothing else without getting notfied about the failed download problem.

Sounds interesting, couldnt come up of that bing idea myself^^ I'm working on that at the moment. I will try to work it out with a submenu:
Click on the Game and get a "right click menu" with several options:
-) share on FB or twitter
-) get further info
Or would you prefer: Click on the Game an get a new view (similar to your screenshot) and have the share possibility on a subview (subview like ybox360 ps3 - wii - ...).
Screenshots will follow
Which one would be more comfortable for you guys?
Thanks for your support
cheers
Thanks for the update. Either one of your syggestions is good. I guess just go with whichever looks better or is easier to implement.
short update:
*) implemented a search for web, images and trailers
*) web and trailers open in a webbrowser
*) not sure about how to display images yet, still testing various ways
*) working on performance, to improve usability
*) still student, developing this app additionally to my studies, so plz be patient and give me some more time (i hope the waiting pays off )
i'll give you a status update as soon as the development is in a further stage!
thx. cheers.
Good work!
Great Idea BTW!
Just got the update. Great stuff, it's a much more rounded app now. Very good.
