A humble request to app developers

Could you please stop putting the word "droid" into the name of your apps? I mean come on! You guys are coming up with the most ingenious idea for the software, and then fall short with naming it. Here's the hard evidence: http://www.cyrket.com/search?q=droid We get it, it's on the Android Market, so it's gotta be for android. So please, for the love of Linus Torvalds, make up an original name!
Hope everyone realizes that this thread is written as joke, and not to be taken seriously. We all appreciate the devs' hard work and dedication to the Android OS and devices it lives on.
Death to iPod!

Why can't we use droid? lol, seems pretty original to me (in the context of the market). I don't see two transdroids, or mutliple piggybank droids. If it bugs you that much, just don't open the market anymore. lol
I kind of agree. To me its the same as as video games coming out being called Playstation Shooter, XBox Fighter, Nintendo RPG. It tells you what its for and sticks it to the platform. I understand that devs are developing for the Android but there are other platforms, whether you like them or not and especially those apps that are worth some money, it would be nice to see good work spread across the board. Having a name that would fit better on all platforms would be better imo. That or you recreate it with a new name for the new platform but then it becomes less recognizable. Everyone knows what God of War is and when they hear it they think one thing. But who would think Bank of America if they named it Bankpod and Bankdroid?
(just my thoughts so don't go getting all upset about it)
what about the "A"?
I'm still waiting for a golf game named AHole. What about Hemherrdroid? I suppose they could be offered as a package, too.
I'm torn. I lke concise app names, I like them to say what they do, and I guess it's good to know what platform. Can you do all those at once?

Nursing apps needed for android g1!!!

Why does iphone have tons of medical and Nursing apps and Android has none??
Why cant we get Davis Drug Guide, and many more medical apps that are running on iphones?
If you know where i can get these apps for android please respond.
thanks
How about instead of asking here which wont help go right to the source?
a bnf would be awesome
and as a student nurse a care plan guide would be awesome.
if i was shown how to make a menu based app i would gladly do it
This sounds awesome! I'm actually going into nursing after my pre-reqs are done so an app like this would be god-like to me
The problem is copyright status on the data needed for such an app.
I'd love to have a PDR and a D Calc.

Why do people randomnly hate on apple. It may not be open and as great as android but you must understand that its really more for people scared of messing with their phone and like simplicity. I know apple fanboys bash android with no proof and say random **** to make it look bad, but you can't fight fire with fire. My cousin always tries to find ways to make android look bad ending it with the phrase "see, android sucks" I simply say "mmhmm" and get on with my day. You know what nvm, I'm sure its only for your own pleasure and no one will see the bootscreen so nvm.

Perhaps it isn't randomly.
Personally, I think apple makes a quality product, though I prefer android. My problem with apple is how they conduct themselves as a business at times. When they get involved to lobby Federal policies, they usually don't support tech freedom for individuals, imo. I also feel they abuse our legal system, google 'Apple sues' some afternoon when you have a few hours to kill.
I think I'll continue not purchasing apple's products.

I'm guessing here, since you didn't post the reason your app was pulled, but from your description I'm guessing a copyright problem. If you are using material obtained from somebody else (iOS files, movie images, etc.) be sure you have appropriate license to use and redistribute them. Finding something lying around the Internet doesn't count. You need to contact the copyright owner and negotiate a license. Easy for GPL or Creative Commons stuff, those have licensing terms clearly spelled out at the distribution point. Getting permission to copy stuff from Apple or Universal will be a touch harder.
I am not a lawyer. I suggest talking to one in your jurisdiction before releasing your next project to see how to stay legal.
Using an image which belongs to a big company will certainly be a copyright infringement, and they certainly will not negotiate a license. As soon as they report you (or someone else does) then Google will almost certainly ban that app and eventually your dev account, so I would be very careful. These big companies have people who's job it is to search out such infringments, so your chance of getting banned is pretty high I would say.

I thinks so you are using copy right images that why your app is rejected. Can you please tell us are you sole owner of iOS7 wallpapers ?
Thanks
You can not use name iOS and Apple symbols. Thats all.

if that's the case then why do literally dozens of apps with iOS in the title come up when searched in the play store?

Hi there! looking for your feedback!

Hi All!
I'm quite new android games developer. I'm looking for developers community feedback on my first "serious" project.
So, as I'm keen on brain teasers I wanted to create some puzzle game. I've started my research and found out one of old style games called Freeways. So I thoutght that I can improve it from design and car behaviour perspective.
For last couple of weeks I have few thousands of downloads but very few feedback!
And I don't know should I upgrade it further or there is no chance to find my audience....
I've spent like 1 year to make it and absolutly dissapointed that there is now feedback from players. Should I start another project? Another 1 year?
Please advise... Thank you in advance!
Link to my game is here:
Motorways mind logic puzzles - Apps on Google Play
Stack the states in brain teaser IQ puzzle. Memory & thinking car traffic maze.
play.google.com
WYSIWYG.
Feedback, yes well here you go...
Looks like a data miner to me
No reason to know my precise location or browser history, share with 3rd parties or for me not to have the option to delete collected data.
I wouldn't even install it... based on that alone.
The games I have are all firewall blocked
My favorite apps have zero permissions and never request internet service. They are also some of the best.
Hi Blackhawk! That's a feedback already. This is set up of ads mediation I'm using. Probably it stops other users aswell. Probably I need to find another mediator

I know you want sponsorship and to generate revenue. I can understand that. It's a tough business. Poweramp has a good business model and is one of my few gladly paid for apps. A lot of bang for the buck and nothing comes close to it for a stand alone music player.
Unfortunately from a user prospective that degree of data mining is potentially harmful. Personally I won't tolerate it... no app is worth that. All social media and shopping apps are banned from my devices. Done that for a decade now. One of the first things I targeted when I started using Androids.
