Hi,
I want to introduce my new App ‘The Stock Game’. It’s available in Marketplace in a free and a commercial version, just if you don’t like ads in a program.
As the name says, you can simulate trading with all stocks around the world. But still remember, it’s just a game. So you can’t win real money, but you can’t lose too.
The app is highly rated in Germany, maybe users in other countries feel in the same way.
Top Features:
- Create user accounts to test different strategies
- search stocks worldwide
- buy and sell in all important currencies of the world, always with the actual stock quotation and exchange rate (only 15 minutes delayed)
- watch the charts of all stocks
- watch the chart development to your portfolio
- ranking list of the most successful players
- look at the portfolio of the top 100 players
- see the stock indices of the world, complete with charts
- on the app tile, you see all the time your actual account value
If I wakened your interest, look in marketplace
Greetings
Hanno
You have awoken my interest, i'm gonna try it, sounds intersting to see, wether one understands the stock market...
I downloaded this game from the market place a few days ago, and it is GREAT!
There was a slight server issue yesterday (where my portfolio showed $0) but otherwise i reccomend this to anyone
Hi irdawood,
I'm pleased that you like my program, did you give me already a rating in marketplace?
I know the problem with the 0 portfolio, but still it's not absolutely clear what the reason is. May a temporary problem with the internet connection. But it's appears not too often I think.
In some time an update will come with some interesting features, e.g. the price agent
Greetings
Hanno
cant seem to sell my stock only the buy option is available cant slide to right or left..
Nice game!
@sunspark,
sorry, my answer is a little delayed.
To sell stocks, you have to pick on the right side of the screen. Left side is to buy. I think when you done it once, it's clearly. To do it this way was a proposal from one of my beta testers and I built it in. I hope, beside this, you enjoy the game
Greetings

After one year successful on the market and a lot of new features since initial release, I think it’s worse to give a little update about new features of my app.
Of course there are a lot of stock market apps around, but still none of them offers the features you’ll find here. Stock trading in not easy, here you can learn, and not only by yourself, you are part of a community of players and you can watch what they are doing. In the chat room you can discuss your thoughts about your strategies and ask other.
Here’s a list of the top features:
- Create multiple user accounts to test different strategies
- Select your preferred currency
- Search stocks worldwide
- Buy and sell all important currencies of the world, always with the actual stock quotation and exchange rates
- Watch the charts of all stocks, currencies and important indices
- Trade with commodities
- Watch the chart development to your portfolio
- Trace your trade history and all trades of all other players
- See the ranking list of all players, climbers and losers of last week and month and what the most popular stocks of all players are
- Look at the portfolio of all players
- Try high risk trading with short selling
- See the stock indices and currencies of the world, complete with charts
- The price agent watches any stocks and informs you when a fixed limit is reached
- On the app tile, you see all the time your actual account value and information from the price agent
- Create live tiles of your most interested stocks. See prices and the charts direct on the start screen of your device
- Choose your preferred start cash
- Visit the chat room
If you have further question about my app, fell free to ask
Greetings
Hanno
The Stock Game is voted number 2 in the wmpoweruser survey for best games, look on the WMPoweruser site.
Greetings

Looks quite nice! One question! What kind of stocks are available in your game? Because now I am playing Stock Trading simulator by Trading Game and there are included stocks like Google, Apple, Tesla, Exxon, Nike and Disney, but that is not enough for me. Is your offer much wider choice, because I would really like to trade other stocks too.

Name: Cousinosity
Update: version 0.3 is published (and should appear on the Marketplace within 24 hours). It includes a pivot with four additional items:
--an inverse operation that takes descent data and produces family tree info,
--an integrated browser pointing to the wikipedia page on cousin (includes history, etc.),
--an info screen with feedback buttons, and
--an item that collates the bizarre laws on marriage between first cousins in US states.
Cousinosity is the largest collection of things you weren't sure you wanted to know about cousins!
Original Description: Now available in the Windows Phone Marketplace! At the moment it is very simple: input the generations to the nearest common ancestor and see what kind of cousins you are ("fourth cousins twice removed", etc.). There are a few amusing Easter eggs with the edge cases. Cousinosity is useful for quickly settling the perennial argument about what "second cousin three times removed" means.
This is my first foray into development, and I was astounded at the high quality of the resources and tools MS provides, even for a rank amateur. I have ideas for more ambitious projects in the coming months, but I wanted to start contributing to the community as soon as I was able to. Any ideas, suggestions, or criticisms you have are welcome!
Source: me.
Download link: http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=08b9f7ba-60b5-4342-9db2-fa34981818dd
Update published, should appear within 24 hours
Cousinosity v0.3 is now in the Marketplace (or will be, within 24 hours)! While v0.1 was merely a humble implementation of subtraction, v0.3 includes a slew of new features. Spend minutes investigating the bizarre laws governing first cousin marriage in the US! Read about "double cousins" in the Wikipedia. Start with "fourth cousin six times removed" and figure out where the nearest common ancestor is!
If there's something you think would be good to include, I can code it up and put it in a new pivot.
great app.

Thanks! I'd like to next add a function that will allow you to input a simple relation database and will produce a graphical family tree. I'm getting busier with work, so that might take a bit to sort out.
At the risk of shameless self-promotion, if you actually like this thing I would really appreciate it if you could rate and/or review it on the Marketplace. So far the reviews I've gotten have been mostly written by people who didn't take the time to understand what the app does. Yes, this means I need to put more work into making certain things clearer, but I wish those reviewers had just used the included support email button. I have no way of pushing back.
Hey guys, we're two university students and we just got our first game - Find The Lady Premium - published.
We would appreciate it if you could take a look and tell us what you think.
Any suggestions, thoughts or general feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Find The Lady Premium is a fresh new game that is certain to keep you entertained.
Based on the famous card-trick game Find The Lady/Three-Card Monte, the goal of the game is pretty straightforward: make as much (in-game)money as you can, betting on the right card.
The main gameplay involves playing through three different levels. The game gets progressively longer and more difficult with each level, which means you will definitely need to keep both eyes on the lady at all times!
The money you win can be submitted in the Highscore menu, in which you'll be able to see where you stand in the Global ranking as a lady follower.
You can also practice the trade of the Hustler on your friends, in Be The Hustler mode, where you get to shuffle and rearrange the cards, challenging your friends into finding the right one!
Some Features include:
Global Highscore Rankings
Easy to use, intuition based controls and game mechanics.
Be The Hustler mode (more info in link below).
Play music from your own collection as background music.
Game progress is saved when navigating out.
Some Screenshots from the game:
A Trial version is also available which features the first level of the game.

The word Google has become synonymous with online search as it refers to the world’s best search engine, and it has developed a platform for huge free web-based applications that now we use every day to perform tasks, or simply for entertainment. The company now is a multinational corporation with a huge budget and a pre-determined strategy to grow bigger. But how does Google does it?
Google does it simply with its interest in providing what everyone needs and the way they want it to be. Unlike the other corporates that sells good or sometimes excellent products for a high price, Google’s answer to this is simply, a high quality “product as a service” and the best part it’s for free. However, the company also does sell online advertisement spaces. The ads are served also in their propriety services like Gmail and Docs etc.
Presenting an operating system for the small gadgets and making it free is a wise way to approach the market, and to get the approval of the experts the company made it based on Linux, the developers’ favorite. The project was first at the hands of a small company, but Google acquired it and financed the project so it can become a reality in order to expand in the telecommunication industry. The smart thing was including all of its services alongside new ones into the software, this making it getting closer to its users and getting the feedback with not much of an effort.
Google has developed some of its key services out from university labs. At first they would be tested for a long time internally, and then when it’s near perfection it’s released to the world like Gmail. The service was in beta phase for five years before it became stable. It’s is a pressure-free developing style, a style that divers it from others. While other companies have deadlines and a releasing schedule, Google doesn’t, simply because there is no one to report to. Its external contracts are different; Google doesn’t create a product for another corporate. Having so will enforce the company to work in a narrow area and with predetermined way. On the contrary it simply creates and presents the product for the other companies to work with.
Its employees are encouraged to work on project that interests them directly. This corporate culture cannot be simply copied. If it was, we would see someone doing it. It’s also what divers it from other companies and it’s what defines it now. Making the workspace fun and interesting is to maintain the current staff and attract new “brains”, the ones who might have an idea of a project that can turn out to be the next big thing.
Google maintains its services up and running with its dependency on ads; this was at first and might still be at a certain degree. But its market share and its focus on many fields might define the future of the corporate. Sole dependency on ads online is definitely not a good strategy and Google has figured that out already, with its expanding plans to other areas, first, ten years ago when it acquired Blogger the famous blogging platform. After that YouTube, with its 4 Billion videos streamed daily, alongside it’s cloud music service that has shown great threat to competitors with its simplicity. And lately it’s 12.5 Billion bid on Motorola Mobility.
It’s clear that Google continues to grow with its unique way of managing its business. It’s is what will define the corporate future, alongside our lifestyle that has been influenced and still does. We used to read printed books; we now read them on small devices to save the huge space the books occupy. There are many examples of how Google has enhanced the way we perform our tasks and activities and made them easy for us, and this is the reason why Google is so succeful.

NOTHING is free. I am as guilty as most of the people for taking their 'free' candy, but it will someday bite us on the ass.
Not sure when, but it will happen. And it won't be pretty!
And believe me they are not doing it to be good corporate citizens.
Making money online is easy

It will cost me more than 25 cents in electricity just deleting all of the spam generated from signing up to worthless sites. And 5 cents for showing a referral 1000 times? Lol. I think bums on skid row wouldn't waste their time on that!
BTW, Nice segue into a plug for your site.
Hi, my name is Gazi and I’m an 18 year old student (economics) in the Netherlands.
I’m working on a business plan for a schoolproject. We’ve got to write a business plan of a product we want to launch. After brainstorming for a couple of days I got the idea to launch a mobile application for students at our school.
For my business plan I need 2 people to answers some questions of mine, so I can get more information about the financial and technical feasibility. I would really appreciate it if you would take the time to answer a couple of questions for me. I was actually going to ask these questions to an app builder from the Netherlands, but he just called me telling me he doesn’t have any time anymore, and I need to finish this asap because the business plan needs to be finished this Friday.
It would probably not even take 10 min to answer these questions and I would really really appreciate it if you guys could help me out.
I will first give some general information about the idea of the application I have in mind:
I want to call this app ‘’App2Date’’. The purpose of App2Date will be to make it easier for students to study. It’s the solution for problems which many students are coping with. App2Date will have functions such as:
- The ability for teachers to let students know when they will not be at school, or are too late (for example, because of traffic). Many students of our school have got to travel around 1hr til they’re at school. It sucks to hear the teachers not there after having traveled for over an hour at 7AM.
- Giving push notifications of important messages on ELO (ELO is our ‘’electronical study environment’’ which is accessible via internet right now. We can see announcements teachers have published, and have access to study material such as powerpoints and word doc.s
These functions are the 2 functions we definitely want to use in the app. IF it is possible (technically and financially) there are some other features we would like to use:
- Push notifications from Osiris (Osiris is the online database with our results accessible via internet atm)
- Having access to your timetable
I understand you can not give precise answers at some questions (for example the financial ones), that’s okay’. I don’t need precise answers. I just want to have an idea of what amount of money I should think, would it cost more than 1000$, more than 10.000$, or just 200$, etc.
Questions:
Orientation
- For how long have you been building apps?
- Do you operate in some kind of category apps (games, social media, etc.)?
- Do you make applications for your own, or do you mostly make applications for companies who ask you to?
Costs (general)
- What’s the average price for building an application?
o One off costs
o Fixed costs
o Other costs?
- Is it much more expensive to build an app that is connected with the internet?
- Which criteria are most important for the price of building an applications?
App2Date in general
- What is your first impression of App2Date?
- Do you think there is a market for App2Date?
o Why?
- How long do you think it will take to build an application such as App2Date?
Technical
- Is it possible to make so many different external systems work together in 1 mobile app?
- Is this possible by linking the app to these external systems, or would it mean you’d have to build different systems within the app itself?
- Is there a function of which you think it would be impossible to make it work?
- If you would have to make a top 3 of the functions you think that would take least effort to build in the app, what would your top 3 be like?
Choose from:
Notifications from teachers who are late
Notifications from announcements from ELO
Online database with your results
Timetable
Ability to check if there are any classrooms free (this can now only be seen by the schools system)
Financial
- What do you think it would cost to build App2Date with the functions I would definitely want to use? (notifications from announcements on ELO + notifications from teachers)?
- Which functions would cost the most (and about how much? $1000, $100? Etc.)
- If you would have to make a top 3 of the functions you think that would financially be feasible the best, what would your top 3 be like?
Choose from:
Notifications from teachers who are late
Notifications from announcements from ELO
Online database with your results
Timetable
Ability to check if there are any classrooms free (this can now only be seen by the schools system)
- Could you tell me, for each function, what you think it would cost (about how much?)
- How do YOU think it would be the best to make money out of this?
Again, I would really appreciate it if you could answer these questions to me. You’d be my lifesaver. Also I didn't know if this was the right place to post this thread, so apologies if this is in the wrong section.
Thanks in advance
No way I am going to read that. TL;DR Please.

aaaannnnddd u just had to bump the thread, didnt u? :silly::good:
If you want your app to go international, I'll change the name. An app called "App2Date" that involves students and teachers will be looked down on in the states. To date in the USA means to be in a relationship not conducive to education, if you know what I mean.
@ OP...go here and post your question and concerns.
