It provides a simple way to record your shopping items, a straightforward style to browse your desired goods and a history list back to one year. In essence, it works as a shopping list, reminding you not to forget anything to buy. Furthermore, it provides the ability to create periodical shopping plans.

With extreme user experience, ShoppingTime has the confidence to be a handy assistant while you're enjoying your shopping time.
Key features for the first release:
Accepts simple input for recording shopping items.
Provides an advanced mode for specifying more details, including tags, descriptions, activation dates and recurrence configurations.
Supports up to 3 custom tags for each shopping item.
Provides a tagged shopping list, with the ability to switch among different categories.

It's already been available in MarketPlace for Windows Phone 7. Try it! Enjoy it!

I've released two things already:
Sketch Defense - Tower Defense, costs a buck. Currently working on some additional levels and additional enemies.

PSA barcode reader
Whe've developed the first barcode reader app for Windows Phone 7. Since version 1.3 we've got a significant better barcode detection and product serach. At the moment there is no way to access the video camera, but I think we've found a good alternative solution.
At the moment the app can only detect EAN13/UPC barcodes, EAN8 will come in one of the next versions.

Update - version 1.3 is out. Enjoy!
I've published a Tetris (TM) clone on the marketplace right now, which is getting very good reviews, especially considering there is an official Tetris (TM) game from EA out there.
The name is Tetrada and more info is available here:
http://www.appsfuze.com/games/windowsphone.puzzleandtrivia/tetrada,2947
http://www.karios.gr/?p=109 (this also includes a very nice video of gameplay)
Version 1.3, which is a big improvement, is pending acceptance right now, so v1.2 is the current one.
There is a trial version available that allows you to play a single level at a time, with no time limits.
My second game is almost complete, but I will post more about it when info is available.

My First App: Math Flash Card
http://www.appsfuze.com/games/windowsphone.puzzleandtrivia/math-flash-card,2967
This is an app for your K-5 kids to work on their math skills, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. You can select the number range to work with, and which operations to use. It keeps your score/grade overall and for each area.
I have an update in the works that gives you finer control over the # ranges.
I don't have too many rating, but have sold about 30 copies in a month.

Beat Drop
Think this thread is a great idea to get feedback on apps from the community directly .
I created Beat Drop a month ago and is meant to fill my want of hypem for the phone.
Beat Drop is a music blog aggregator that allows you to follow popular music blogs and stream their music straight from your phone.
It's free 99 so download it and let me know what you think!
http://social.zune.net/redirect?type=phoneApp&id=8dcb4dac-bbf7-df11-9264-00237de2db9e
and yes, I would love to add the functionality to have users add blogs. But with blogs not having a standard way of hosting music, I've opted for somewhat of the Hypem approach of having set blogs that are validated/tested to work w/ my app.

I wrote a game where you touch a highlighted square 20 times as quickly
as you can & each time you pressed it, more squares would appear,
plus they would move & change size. Then I decided I could do slightly
better & expanded it to have 5 levels & to keep record of your fastest times.
I called it TouchMeQuick, its free & its now had over 25,400 downloads.
Its completely blown my mind how many people have downloaded it.
The last app I made available to the masses was for windows mobile & I
remember being over the moon when I hit 300 downloads, so this really
has been quite epic for me.

[Released V1.3]Daily Series : Tv shows tracking app

Hello,
The app is composed of 3 main screens:
1 panorama containing
- "my daily" : the incoming episodes. with buttons to mark episodes as acquired / watched. orange is for "aired" blue is for "acquired"
- "manager" : to manage favorite shows / add shows to favorites
- What's new : a random selection of the last updated shows.
Here are a few screen caps :

1 other panorama containing the details on a show :
and a page containing details about each episode.
Off course, settings and "about"
it shows the number of episodes aired since the last launch of the app
video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3sh6jF4t6o
This app has been released in french, english and spanish, german should come soon
Data about episodes and shows are available thanks to tvDb.
V1.3 :
- language bug fixed, you can now look for a show in your native language (if supported by tvdb)
- show posters can now be saved to your picture library (they make excellent lock screens)
- diverse other improvements

Hey man, looks pretty good.
One thing that popped out at me: The refresh/sync button in the first set of screen shots. It looks like it will be a bit hard to hit (I've got fat fingers ). For an end users point of view it would probably be better in the application bar (although it may look a bit lonely there).
just my twocents

hello
Thanks for your answer !
it's a good suggestion, we will take care of this tonight
ps: video is (finally) working

youtube tag doesn't work?

Looks good. I really like the fact you get info on every episode of the show. It would be cool if would add reminders and live tile notifications of upcoming episodes. If that was added I'd pay $1.99 and if not $.99.
It is a nice app either way, but it would be a hard sell for more than 2 bucks.
Sent from my SGH-T849 using XDA App

I had one of these types of apps in progress before I just gave up on it due to not really feeling like finishing it. One idea that I wanted to integrate into mine, but never found out if it was possible was something like a calendar sync. You hit the button and bam, it will add it to your calendar to remind you which night a certain show might be premiering or returning to TV.

thanks yor your answers,
for the calendar, we wanted to do so, but no api is available in WP7, the only possibility was for us to access the users gmail account and send reminders in.
But it implied storing personal connection data, and we don't like that.
If new apis are available in new wp7 updates we will probably check it out
for the live tile, I think it will be in a V2

Looking good. Was actually looking for an app like this. I assume it will only show the original airdates in the country of origin? Would it somehow be possible to let the user add a custom day of week, so they can check what shows are on that day?

Hello
We originally wanted to convert airtime to the users timezone, but we don't have the "original timezone' information on tvdb.
For your other question : I didn't really understand what you mean.
(or maybe?) : you would like to see what airs on tuesdays for example?
or for a specific date?

Let's say I've added Big Bang Theory to my watch list. In the UK this show is on a Wednesday, so I'd assign that day to this show. Someone else might be watching the repeat on Fridays, so they pick that day instead.
Then somewhere in the app, I could check what's on each day of the week and if I looked on Wednesday it would list Big Bang Theory and any other shows I've flagged for that day.
It wouldn't have to have to say what episode or anything (no dates or times either), just that the show is on. Like a reminder and personalized TV guide.
I think it would be a great feature considering the fact that most shows air on different days around the world.

Appologies if this is already covered in the app, I didn't see it in the screenshots or video though.
Protip: Please add a notice in the app saying something along the lines of "All data provided by TheTVDB.com" and "if you enjoy our services and can afford it, please show us by donating" linking to our Donate page.
Also be advised there will be an official TheTVDB client in the future, with interactive functionality - i.e. ratings, personalized recommendations and so on. You've done some good work here though. If there are any API calls you feel could be optimized for mobile, do let me know (some have already been re-written specifically for WP7, although they are still in private testing).

Hello,
there is already the "about" section containing informations and links to tvdb. (I contacted Scott about this app)
News :
we added the live tile functionality!
If a new episode airs, the live tile will be updated.

As for price, most might disagree with me.. But I do value the effort developers put towards their apps, and I am not afraid to go as far as $4-5 depending how fast updates and the application works. It's a service to us and an income to you ;-) Hopefully lol.

cool app, perfect

Two bugs:
1.) Under 'Settings' next to the first check box it says "Sing with certificate" should be "Sign with certificate"
2.) It always tells me Zune isn't running eventhough it is, this is on Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
Also does Zest = All? Might want to clairfy that.

Screenshot
Here is a screen shot of the Zune not open error I posted about. As you can see I have Zune running but the error is there.
EDIT: When I plug in my phone the message on the bottom switches to "Connected" and it seems to work fine. So I think it's just a display bug. Also XBOX Live apps don't seems to work, they just fail to start up. Is there something else that must be done aside from re-signing?

You can use WPConnect to connect phone instead of Zune
BTW, could you tell me how to resign xap and make "resume" path in C#?
I'm making xap deploy app too and don't know how to do these useful trick.
So I'll be very appreciate if you could help me ^_^.
Here is my app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301327

I now added WPConnect back to miniWPDSK and working on comunicate wAppStore and wXapDeployer without Zune (by WPConnect.exe), thx. For resign xap I'l contact you.

Hello Winco,
nice Project. Thank you for your contribution. Will try it during the next few days and report back. It does look better than some other progs around here but certainly the functions need to be tested if any better too...
I'd probably switch to your program if it does its Job well because i like its looks and organization. Then i'd certainly donate sum money towards your project too.
I am very interested in highly integrated solutions. Like what you are working on now. One Program to scan the market, display the Apps, download them, store them for later use, sign them, deploy them. Connect to phone without Zune would be a perfect feature too.
If you have a look at Julien Schapmanns Device Manager - that is pretty neat from its Idea but still doesn't work too well and Mr. Schapmann seems to be busy with other things at the moment
But if you have any plans to go into that direction (multifunctional) i'd say you defo have a thing going here. *thumbs up* bro.
[EDIT]
Found this on wAppStore:
- Download of Apps stalls at 50% sometimes (when interferring with the download somehow. Process doesn't seem to be stable).
- Download of bigger Apps is very slow.
- wAppStore Crash: click download on an app in MarketPlace, change to LocalPlace --> File Access error --> crash (the downloading file cannot be accessed)
- Settings not remembered (e.g. the LocalPlace Save-Path falls back to default when Software is restarted) after crash (settings are only saved when quitting the Software normally?
- Cannot cancel Download of app. Tried the "Bin" button but it makes the AppStore crash. It doesn't stop the Download.
- Icons draw a little blurry. Icons bad or rendering bad?
Suggestions:
- Screenshot- enlargement when clicking on one
- Screenshot rotation when enlarged
- Design adjustments: bring it closer to Zune-Layout, differentiate it from Zune by Color, not design. Makes the Idea of a free place opposed to the payed place clearer. Use the Zune-Icons.
- For the local Place: scan subfolders. i have sorted my Apps in Games and General in two folders - can those be scanned for xap's?
- Check the state of an XAP: can it be installed? does it need signing? does it need patching?
More to come i am sure

Thanks to Sneakyghost for nice report about Apps,
I'm hardly working on fix problem and improving functionality ;-)

Noticed one more Thing:
- Installed WhatsApp using wAppStore, updated it from version 1.1. using wAppStore, its Info remained on 1.1. So i thought its a bug in WhatsApp. Updated again when version 1.3 was released, Info still remained on 1.1. I began to wonder. I uninstalled the App with wAppStore and installed again: same version 1.1 info.
So i uninstalled the app directly on the device and reinstalled using wAppStore. This time the App shows the real info. Conclusion: wAppStore does not manage Updates well.

very nice app.is it necessary to install SDK when I want to run the Prog?

Winco has a mini SDK on page 1. That should suffice. Try it and report back.
Note: someone has had problems because he had both the real SDK and the mini installed. Make sure you use only one of them.

After lots of hours of hard work snickler and I are almost ready to release the first beta of our latest app Metro Browser.
Metro Browser works similar as IE10 Metro Browser on Windows 8, but without tabs implemented yet (full screen browsing, swipe down to reveal address bar).
Some of you might wonder why use this Metro Browser if IE9 Mobile is good enough on its own... Now thats where our browser differs from all the others, IE9 is certainly a good browser but it also has its severe limitations.
IE9 can't play FLV videos and not being able to play FLV videos will rule out the use of most of the popular video websites. Since we don't like to have these limitations on our devices, we designed a browser to handle the FLV video playback of those popular websites.
SUPPORTED VIDEO WEBSITES
- MegaVideo (also MegaP**n)
- Videoweed
- VideoBB
- Videozer
- Movshare
- Novamov
- Sockshare
- Putlocker
- YouTube
- P**nhub
FEATURES
- Tabbed browsing
- Easily share a webpage
- History/Favorites
- Find on page
- Scan page for embedded videos
- View in Desktop Mode
- Search directly from the addressbar
- Advanced built in video playback capabilities (FLV and MP4)
- Auto-hide Addressbar and Applicationbar for full screen browsing experience, swipe down from the top to reveal them.
PM if you would like to have another site supported.
This app allows you to seek trough the video as well, so if the connection drops or you have reached your MegaVideo limit, you can skip forwards and backwards without the need to fully download the video and to watch it from the start.
The video class is optimized for mobile phone usages and will not use your isolated storage, and it is limited to prevent out of memory issues. It provides an excellent quality and is optimized for streaming smoothly, both on 3G and on WiFi. The video's can be played free of charge (but it will consume large amounts of 3G data naturally, so be sure you don't exceed your 3G limit or switch to WiFi).
CHANGELOG
Version 1.7 - Published
- Fixes more crashbugs (YEAH!)
- Fixes the broken back button (my bad )
- Brings several tiny fixes, and improves the video retrieval. Fixed the "dead" screens with infinitely "Opening..." and not actually loading the video.
Version 1.6 - Published
- Patch for MegaVideo
Version 1.5 - Published
- Direct skipping, no more waiting before buffered.
- Fixes memory issues
- Improves robustness of the video playback control
Version 1.4 - Published
- History fixed

- Minor fixes
- Overal UX improvements
Version 1.3 - Published
- Scan page for embedded video's
- Find on page
- Ability to edit title of favorites
- Fixes PutLocker issues
- Fixes History issues
- Improved video playback robustness
Version 1.2 - Published
- Adds Tabs
- Adds Metro Browser newsfeed and support email
- Added soft backbutton to navigate back in history (hardware button will close the app)
- Fixes VideoBB/VideoZer
- Fixes Javascript crash bugs
- Fixes YouTube crash bug

Open source is out of the question. As a student we will need a tiny bit of ad revenue so we can be able to continue developing of great apps. And we put weeks and weeks of development into this. So please respect our choice, we have good men on board who can improve the app and make it available to all of you. And implement your suggestions.
Instead of giving our knowledge away we would like to improve the app by your input. As beta testing has started we are anxious to hear about your opinion.
Also please dont not post here that we need to contact you, you can only apply for the private beta by sending snickler a pm and you may not share the xap, this is to make sure we can have a controlled beta and can come up with a first release with bugfixes to all of you asap. Without the beta and releasing interferring with each other.

[App] Kickstarter Browser

Hello fellow windows developer.
I guess I'm not a frequent poster but I need your help!
I need your feedback on my latest Windows 8 app: Kickstarter Browser. The thing is, I just got it release just to have a initial release but I need feedback on it. It's easy to feel satisfied with your app because you are familiar with it. I do have a general idea where I want to go with the app (adding twitter share, add favorites) but as far as GUI I'm not really sure. So any critic is welcome to just post here, perhaps even screenshots if there is anything specific you want to point out. If you have good things to say you can also review it windows 8 store. (Please do not post reviews/low stars saying it's bad, remember this is just my first release and I will improve it over the coming months using your feedback and then you can give a proper review ) If you give me feedback which I'll use to improve the app I will, if you want, add you to a thank you list in the App description.
As far as adding, login/pledging from the apps etc. there are no official Kickstarter API and the API I'm using is Very restricted.
Anyway, please give me feedback and I will be very thankful.

hmm, well I tried to install your app but the MS store is insisting that I am not connected to the internet, it worked fine 2 days ago on the same connection and I am clearly on the internet right now. I'll have to takes its suggestion of trying again later.
Picture looks alright but I cant see myself using the app if I'm honest, I just dont browse kickstarter. If I can get it to download I will pop back with something more useful to you

Thank you for trying and thank you for giving me you 2 cents on the screenshot, hopefully you will be able to download it soon. I am at hard work to bring another release of this app within two-three weeks, but I do hope some more people would give me their opinions.

Update
I've made an update for this app. Though I have not received a single piece of feedback.
This time I bring the ability to see videos in the app and to search through descriptions of projects to find specific words (This is something the normal kickstarter.com website cannot do). I also updated to GUI to look much better and fixed bugs, you can find the app update here:
Please download, try it and give me some feedback.
Thanks.

Nice! Just gonna give some friendly feedback here: first, it would be nice to have the spotlight words in the top-left clickable, so I could select technology or whatever. Second, the tiles for each result could use a little more modern. By this I mean separate each tile a little, get rid of the rounded effect, and maybe make the background for each tile the project picture. Other than that, maybe some more background colors on the app would help. But really, nice work!

Thanks

Wow, thank you. It was very observant of you to notice the kind of "Rounded effect". I have taken your advises into consideration for my next release. I will be releasing a Halloween update within the next few days and will post here when it is certified and live. Thank you SO MUCH. You are the first to give me some suggestions, and I've asked for help on quite a few forums.
The next update will have many new features I hope you all will enjoy.

Update!
Well, you could say I really buckled up last night and started my code, because here is the halloween update!
I focused on customization and user experience this time. The change log follows:
-Changes in version 1.2.0-
Big GUI update
Multitask support added (view video while using other apps)
Added tool tips
Added FAQ to project description
Significantly improved search times when searching through descriptions (by 20 percent)
Search now list projects as they are found (not when search is done)
Added settings for spotlight
- It's now possible to add/remove and enable/disable individual spotlight categories (found under settings)
Added the possibility to to favorite projects
Added favorite page (accessed by swiping down from top or right click the top of the screen)
Removed crash bug when no internet connection
Anyway I hope you all will download it and try it (and tell me what you think). I will be taking a one week break from coding Kickstarter Browser to recharge my batteries and get inspired to do some more work.

Update
I hate how it feels like I'm spamming/bumping my own thread but I just want to keep you guys updated and hopefully get more feedback from you guys!
So I've just got the post-Halloween update certified. Change log:
Revamped start screen
Added playback controls (Play, stop, mute, video time bar)
Added video full screen playback
Added sorting projects in search
Added backgrounds
Added browsing categories in search screen/start screen
Squashed bugs
So this is the first update based on feedback from users and feedback I've asked for from various forums. One point of feedback was really important. The user felt that when you first start the app you are welcomed with a screen with a huge gap in the middle. So I made the middle part dedicated for browsing through categories and all the searching should be done through the search screen. Another user told me that the app doesn't bring anything new to the table in terms of searching and finding, so I added more search options. The third big feedback I got was that the app was boring, colorless and not nice to look at, so I reworked the layouts and made it possible for the user to change background color/add background image. The last feedback I did take into consideration for this update was that the search screen was a bit confusing and that the video playback lacked features, so I rearranged the search screen a bit and added video playback features (it now has play, stop, mute, full screen and a timeline)
So you see, I use the feedback I get to make the app better, please keep it coming and I will possibly implement it.
Thanks

Live tile update
I guess you all know what this post mean by now.
I've just release update 1.2.5. Inspired by another app this update brings the ability to create live tiles of projects to have them on the system's start menu screen and keep track of projects. Change log:
Added more backgrounds
Added ability to create live tiles of projects
Added all subcategories to browsing
Refined browsing
Fixed bugs
Added Help/FAQ to top appbar
Moved settings to top appbar
