I have an app that I've finished up and I'd like to put it up on windows mobile app store, but I need an icon etc. Now I can write code, but my artwork isn't so good, so any suggestions as to where I could go to find someone who can do those for me? Are sites like FreeLancer and Guru any good for this?
Thanks
What is the app do?
More info needed before making an icon ya know..
I call it WebPeekaBoo (wife suggested just calling it Peekaboo), and its just webcam/image viewer for things like TrafficCams, SurfCams, SecurityCams, etc. You can create/build/edit you own images lists. I wrote as its seems most of the apps like this were focused on one type of cam/image and I wanted to watch a number of different types (ie traffic cams so I could see which route to take, tropical beach cam for motivation, other cams so I knew what the weather or lineups etc is like somewhere, etc).
I've attached some screen shots so you can see what the app looks like.
Apparently I need a couple different sizes of the icon for the app store.
Thanks

Since we have plenty of YouTube app alternatives in the marketplace now, I was just curious to see which one people preferred the most. Personally I really love LazyTube because I'm sort of a power user on YouTube myself.
As a Focus user, Supertube is my go to.
i dont use youtube on my phone...
ill stick with msn video and ustream
HTC YouTube Supports Account Login, comes from a company I'm certain will support it, supports HQ streaming, and is free.
So yea... I prefer that until Microsoft gets their better YouTube client out the door.
I use the HTC app both on my Focus and Arrive.
supertube supports account login now...I like my supertube
but where would I find the HTC youtube app for my focus
forgive my ignorance
Yeah I know SuperTube and HTC have login support, but the way subscriptions work on LazyWorm are better than those imo. In the HTC app all of my subscription videos show up out of order and there's no way to sort them by most recent.

You can only get the HTC YouTube app if you have developer unlocked your phone either officially as a developer or with the ChevronWP7 hack. It will only work if you have a firmware before NoDo. If you want to know how to jailbreak, you can go here for the beginners' guide:

I'm not such a YouTube power user that I care that much about subscriptions or how they're sorted, and if that meant that much for me I'd just use my Vibrant. I carry it and my HD7 everywhere with me, anyways...
And even if I'd cut it off, I could still use it sort of like an iPod touch over WiFi
I don't see a point in paying for something like that, and I've already been burned by Board Express (Terrible Performance, etc.) and Birdsong (still haven't added a Live Tile, etc.). Don't think I'll ever buy another mobile app again, Lol.
I have an Omnia 7 so no HTC app for me. I like both SuperTube and Lazyworm but the latter is the better one overall (downloads are pointless as far as I'm concerned so no need for that). Lazyworm supports likes and HQ over 3G and links to the Zune hub, that's pretty cool.
One thing I will say though: the Lazyworm icon is damn ugly, specially when pinned to your main screen. It's like it was made by/for a kid and is in total contrast to the SuperTube icon which looks very nice.
Anyway, like someone else said I wish Microsoft could release a proper app already.
I couldn't care less about being able to log into my account on a Youtube app, but I what I have seem to work for different situations:
I have SuperTube for the HD videos (the quality on small screen is amazing), and for downloading some videos to watch on the commute.
I have RealTube for good streaming on 3G, and for other sites with video.
I use the LazyWord Youtube app just because the new version looks so pretty, and the UI is very well thought out.
I sideloaded the HTC 2.0 Youtube just to see what it's all about, and it is pretty good, but not my standard go to Youtube app.
And of course, the Youtube "enabler" from Microsoft.

This I totally agree. The Lazyworm icon is really terrible .
Hope they can change it.
It's the only downside I find. I hope we can have a more sober icon, just the YouTube logo would be perfect (why this worm ? Why this brown color ? ).
Otherwise the UI of LazyWorm is very nice and it's my favorite YouTube app at the moment.
I really don't use the download function so SuperTube is ok but not so useful to me.

After people requested a new icon, they came up with that for the next release:

I know what you're thinking: What The F...?!
Currently just using the HTC Youtube app, or just via IE if I wanna find videos from users i subscribe to, might check out SuperTube.
Aww where is the love xda... sitting in last place !
Seriously though, great poll and it's very interesting seeing where we are falling short. We are in for the long haul and plan to continually improve on what we have so getting constructive feedback like this is EXACTLY what we are after.
I'm curious as to why people prefer the HTC app over our solution considering our free version supports more features and many have said sports a superior interface / experience?
We have been receiving several comments, suggestions and feedback from our users via ratings, emails, facebook and twitter. We will be releasing 2.1 very soon which should hopefully address some of these issues and include some awesome new features (so please stay tuned).
Thanks to those who are voting for us and for those who didn't we will strive to win you over next time!
Finally, I'll leave you guys to comment on our YouTube 2.1 (free) & LazyTube 2.1 (99c) tile icon concepts attached
Thank you for contributing to the thread. I'll go straight to the only 2 things I don't like about your app:
- I would like an option in settings to pick the light or dark theme independently of my actual phone theme.
- Your icon is too childish, sorry I can't find another way to put it. Smartphones are for adults and the cute worm doesn't cut it I'm afraid. I'd like something that looks good and cool like when SuperTube redesigned their icon. Even just the word Youtube with nothing else would be better.
Great work otherwise, I love the app and appreciate the fact that it remains free with no ads.

Hello,
Thank you for the feedback.
No offence, but sorry I really dont' like the current icon and the ones you suggest above.
I totally understand that you would like to keep the worm since it is a symbol of LazyWorm, and therefore a part of your identity.... But unfortunately it is not very beautiful and not very sober, so it ruins the beauty of the icon.
I do adore Lazyworm and it's the only negative point I find. I am not very happy when I have to stick the live tile on my start screen
I hope you will not feel offended by my comment, it is not my purpose.

Thanks for your reply, but my question was how can I find the HTC Youtube app, not how to unlock my phone, LOL. I would have asked that question first if thats what I wanted. No offense. Ive searched the forums but may have missed it. can someone else help me out
I use LazyWorm and HTC YouTube. Even tough I prefer LazyWorm, which has a great UI, quality, speed and smoothness, I sometimes just want to know what's new on YouTube that comes from Germany. HTC YouTube supports regions, LazyWorm sadly doesn't.

Yes, I agree. The same icon without the worm would be really better, or a simple YouTube logo (maybe replacing 'You' by 'Lazy')...
Also, if LazyWorm could supports regions, like HTC YouTube does, it would be cool indeed.
I like it.. Keep up the good work. Dont listen to these fools. Thats your logo. Stand by it.
I am working on an application which actually differentiates stuff for you, using basics. Also might be included, integral calculator.
Want your thoughts on this, and the format you would want it in.
Large font/small?
Which orientation?
The highest power you would expect it to solve up to
Background colour, any particular, related images that you could let me know if, if you think it would look nice.
Also any other features you would like to have?
Will be a paid application, but you will be able to have it for free if you buy, and post your name here, once its made and posted on the market.
Thanks.
I'm looking for an application where I can add my own recipes and generate shopping lists. I'd like one that I can use on my computer and then transfer the data through cable, wireless, or even busybox. Anyone seen anything like that? I'd pay for the app. As many as there are out there, it astounds me that such a application wouldn't be available...if worth money (DEV's!).
Anyway...any help would be great!
I use an app called Recipes. I think it has all if not most of what you're looking for
You may be thinking of "Allreipes". It doesn't have a way to work with your PC...at least not that I have found.
Just though I would share with you guys some cool apps that I have compiled in my android career. In my opinion, porting over an iPhone app to make it work on Android just doesn't look or feel right. So here are some droid-esque applications that I have found that really show off android. Feel free to add in some other awesome apps as you see fit.
Weather app- Eye in the Sky. This app is pretty awesome looking. It has an android look and feel to it and is very minimalistic. The paid version removes ads, and this in my mind makes the app what it is-- a simple one that shows you what you need to see. Not too much, not too little. Could use a radar of some sort, but it is great. (FREE- $1.19 to remove ads)
News App- Press (Google Reader). This is one of my favorites. It is an RSS reader that is stripped to bare bones. It does exactly what it needs to do, in showing what you are subscribed to RSS-wise, but in the process its an app that would make an android developer happy to see that it had so much thought and effort put in to it. It is really a great looking and functional app that removes bloat and allows for top performance ($1.99)
Sports App- ESPN ScoreCenter is a given. Wish there was a way to remove ads, because I would pay for it. Hate ads. They recently did a huge overhaul in iOS and Android and optimized performance. It really brought the app out of 2008. (FREE)
Twitter Client- Tweedle for Twitter. This is another Android styled app, that really embodies the stock ICS/JB look and incorporates it into a simple Twitter app that is easy to use. (FREE)
Photo Editor- Snapseed. Probably the coolest photo editing app I have ever seen. It is incredibly feature ridden (this is a good thing), and you can manipulate any photo to whatever you want. Essentially an Instagram 2.0 if I've ever seen one.
These are my favorite apps. Share yours, there are plenty of people searching for "must-have android apps" during this Christmas season! I will add them into this list! And while the ones above are not must have status, they are pretty darned cool.
