What is the best Google Voice app for Windows Phone? - Windows Phone 7 General

Any suggestions for me?

I think there are only 2 of them. Download the free one, and if you don't like it, download the paid one.

I think that the paid one is good but its probably worth trying out the free one first.

Just searched for google voice in the app store, all I found are two lowly rated paid versions, no freebies.

I only see one in the Canadian Marketplace rated 1 star

I'm working on a free app version since both of the Google Voice apps on Live are paid ones. Stay tuned, in the mean time just use the web version.

There was a free app but it was pulled because of poor reviews, mostly people not able to login.

GoVoice has been the better rated of the two, but GV for Windows phone has a trial version to see if you like it.

[Q] paid apps for free?

They offer "Deal of the Week" apps but it's deff not free.
When the marketplace grows larger...
almost every app has a free trial, many offer full function and just post an ad banner
ok , i can deal with ads no problem . Which apps have ads for the full version?
I have an LG Quantum Optimus from Bell Canada. There's an LG APP store Category that shows up in the marketplace with apps for us to download an install that are LG developed or are paid apps being offered to LG users as a free download. Their way of saying thanks to their customers. About half are swapped out with new ones once a month or something.
I would love this.. I am unable to buy apps for my phone because my region is unsupported. I'm an avid apps buyer (I've probably bought more than 100 euro in apps on my iPhone) and the app buyer in me is suffering.

I thought there was a way for you to get around that by using a proxy server on your home computer for zune?

[Q] App monitoring site/app like Apple AppShopper

Does anyone know of a website and/or app similar to the Apple dedicated appshopper.com ?
For those of you not familiar, you can track apps you have or apps you want for version and price changes. You can a wishlist in your account, and you can filter in different ways such as by popularity, so you can see all the popular apps and games that have a promo, or simply come into the price range you want to pay.
I bought almost all my iPhone/iPad apps using this app.
appbrain is pretty good at filtering apps and i think it also has a price drop filter to search for discounted ones.

Thanks! It is decent but not to the same level, at least for now. Well, it is probably the best choice for now.

Amazon Appstore

Has anyone noticed the lack of updating from the Amazon Appstore? I bought Friendcaster because I had a gift card and it has worked great. However, it updated yesterday and there is still no update from Amazon. How do they expect to keep customers when they don't keep up with easy updates? Never again for me.
Has anyone else had this issue? Is there any solution I haven't thought of?

Devs update much quicker on the Play Store than on the Amazon Appstore. I learned this very quickly when getting Amazon's free app of the day. There have been some apps that I bought on the Market for this very reason. Sad thing is, there is a bug preventing me from buying some of the apps on Play that I have in the Amazon Appstore. It says purchased in the Play Store even though I have not purchased it and there is no fix for it(that I know of). Google has known about it for some time and still has not corrected the issue.

Between that, the DRM, the Amazon App telling me of updates that aren't there, and the generally not-too-impressive freebies I no longer use the Amazon Store. I went ahead bought the couple of apps that I did use from the Play store and I haven't looked back.

There is a work around which lets you purchase them again and it's on XDA
Being from UK I use to use the work around to get the Amazon app store over here. It stopped working months ago for me so needed to get apps again from Play store. The post linked to works perfectly.
I complained and Amazon refunded me. That was cool of them but I am done getting my apps there.

Google Play Books vs Amazon Kindle

I'm not too sure if this has been discussed before, however I would like to know your opinions on these two services.
Which do you prefer and use, Why?
I've got about 6 books on my Google Play account however I'm willing to use Kindle if it offers a better services, people have told me it's better, but Why?
I would really like some help on this. Thanks
I like Kindle because it leaves you an "out" should you no longer have an Android tablet. I can use the Kindle books I buy on all the Kindle devices, iPads, and Android tablets I have. But the Google Play Books are stuck on Android.
I also love the ability to send free books to your device wirelessly. For example, I frequent a site that translates foreign Light Novels (that will NEVER be released in English). I can download the books in any format, put it through "Calibre" on my PC to effortlessly convert into a Kindle .mobi file, and either use the "Send to Kindle" PC program or just attach the file to an email and send it to my @kindle email address.
The only thing I wish the Kindle app had is the stupid Page turn animation. Google Play Books does and, while pointless, it is just nice to look at.
You can do all that with Google Play books, that why
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus, if I helped hit thanks.
You can do all of that with Google Play Books. They also have an iOS app, or you can go to the books information page on Google Play and download it in either an epub or PDF.

They do? Huh, scratch what I said then.
I guess it's ecosystem then. The few books I have comparison shopped for have been about a dollar cheaper on Amazon, but the draw will be which ecosystem you want to be invested in.
I find Amazon's collection to be a bit larger than Google's, but it seems like it's up to you.
Edit- They updated the Google Books app to allow you to read/import non Google epubs? Last I had heard they limited you to Play Store purchases and that's it.

Sorry for the confusion, you can't read books bought elsewhere through Google Play app, you can download books purchased through Google Play and read them on other readers, . Thanks for your help, I prefer all my stuff in one place under my e-mail, so Play Books it is for me. The difference doesn't seem to be massive so whatever people choose I'm sure they'll be satisfied. It just isn't worth it ATM, not with Play Books recent update adding maps, translation, and dictionary to their app.

I am liking Google Books, but I don't like that I can't import my own non-market files, is there no way to do this?
If not what is the next best reader to use for own files? I need to read several long pdfs that I'd rather not print on paper to read once, as well as reading ebooks, any advice?
Moon reader pro is a excellent reader & imo the best out there. the app handles all formats and even has page turning animations like play books.
i'm actually using it right now reading a jeffery deaver book called cold moon.

Experience from someone who reads entirely too many books.
Aldiko seems to be the best ebook app on the market that is not integrated into a particular store like Kindle and Play Books. You can buy books from any number of independent stores directly into the app, and also load any Adobe DRM you own or non DRM book into it. As long as they are EPUB or PDF, or other files if you use Calibre to convert. Calibre is a pretty good converter, I was using it to get non-DRM books into my Kindle and it works well most of the time although some have some strange formatting defects, some of which make the book unreadable.
Bluefire reader is another, I like the interface better than Aldiko for mostly aesthetic reasons, but it doesn't have any dictionary function. It is an iPhone app recently come to Android.
If you are reading all free books I guess the different stores don't matter, but if you pay for at least some of your books than price might be a major concern. I recently compared about 25 books between Kindle, Google Play, and an independent store called BooksOnBoard (one of the in app stores available within both Aldiko and Bluefire). Some non-fiction, some new fiction, and some slightly older books (10 yo or so). 12 of these books had the price fixed by the publisher and their price was the same in all stores. Two were significantly cheaper from the Kindle store, 6 were much, much cheaper from BooksOnBoard. Kindle also had two that were free for me to read because I have Amazon Prime. Google Play was easily the most expensive of the stores. BooksOnBoard also has some good deals on package deals, generally all or part of a series bought together.
To sum up, I think that using Aldiko and buying from BooksOnBoard is your best bet on getting your books cheaper, and the app does everything you need it to. If you can't find the book you want you will probably have to go to the Kindle store and their vastly larger library of books. Using the Play Store for your books will end up costing you quite a bit if you read as much as I do, but it also probably the easiest of them to use. The Kindle store is not Android friendly, it sends you to the Amazon website in the browser to buy books, rather than the easy in app experience one gets if they are using an actual Kindle reader.
For those who like science-fiction check out baenebooks.com for great prices and make sure to check out their free library. All ebooks sold there are non-DRM and thus problem free opening them from other apps.

Thanks for the very informative post, its made me think twice about where I buy, only one thing I have to pick at. Google Play, unless falsy advertised, has a much larger library of books, at 4 million, Amazon's kindle only advertises "just over a million".
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus, if I helped hit thanks.
One more thing, if you travel, the kindle (and I guess other alternatives) app lets you buy books no matter what IP address you are connected to. When I was on holiday in Portugal last week I needed to buy another book to read but google refused to let me because Portugal doesn't have books yet - downloaded the kindle app and bought what I wanted.
Guess whose ecosystem now has my custom...

The size of the selection at both Google Play and Amazon is huge; I don't really care which is larger and who knows how they are calculating that figure. What it comes down to is do they have the books you are personally looking for. Google doesn't carry the book Zodiac by Neal Stephenson while it is available at both Amazon and BooksOnBoard. I thought they didn't have a serial novel by many top sf writers that comes out in installments but it turns out, strangely, that there is a separate app for that, an android app just for reading that particular serial novel (for free). While it comes to Kindle in a more traditional format and is free to Amazon Prime (a paid service-so not really free). Conversely there exist some textbooks that are available only through Google and are not available from any other source (I don't remember any specific titles). Strangely you won't find any books by the great literary writer Daphne du Maurier (wrote Rebecca among others) in any ebook store.
Personally I came to Android with a library of Kindle ebooks on my Kindle (hardware) so I have a slight leaning in that direction. I look to BooksOnBoard for those books that are cheaper there, often about $2 less for a novel without a fixed price by the publisher and use Aldiko reader. I use both Kindle and Aldiko regularly. If and when I find I can't find one from those two I will have no problem looking for them in Google Play. That is the beauty of the Nexus 7, you are not obligated to buy from only one source and you can use as many different ebook stores and apps as you like.
I'll have to look into BooksOnBoard, haven't seen it yet. It appears to me the only way to be completely satisfied is use all of them lol, I'll continue to use Play Books, I'm not too bothered about the price. I wont use Amazon because of what they do to android, they take advantage of it, Google Pays developers to develop it in hope OEMs will use it and pay licencing fees for Maps, Play Store, Music etc, then Amazon just skin it and throw their own services on it. Not really fair is it?
Also, I would thank your post for the efforts and great information... but I run out of thanks. xD
PDF reader
EZPdf Reader is the best reader I have found for reading PDF files. It allows you to highlight and annotate among a vast array of other utilities
Also there is a variety of ways you can read, including with a page flip type animation and text flow view. It isn't free - it's $4.00, but totally worth it IMO.
I'm a huge fan of the page flip animation in GPB, silly, I know.
For me it's a no brainer... Google play books is not available in Switzerland, but with kindle I have the choice to use either the German or French store.

Need for speed apk is not warez

I bought the NFS game that came as a demo on the phone. It is different than the one in the play store. It was paid through my tmobile account not the play store. If i root and put on a rom that does not include this demo I will not be able to use an app that I paid for. just as a FYI the one in the play store is a different version its not the one that came on our phone. This post is in response to a MOD closing and removing the apk in another thread. it is not illegal if it is a DEMO. if you paid for the demo it does not mean you can download the one in the play store for free. anyway lesson learned because the demo version on the phone doesn't even get updated so I will always wait and buy apps from Google play. if it was still on sale i would buy it again but not dropping another 7 for something i already bought. To the MOD that deleted the apk Please think before playing internet GOD.
Game can only be purchased through the Google Play legally. If you purchased it from somewhere else, who did you sent the payment to? If you have a receipt than you can try contacting Google for help.
You can save your game progress with Titanium Backup but your phone have to be rooted to use that app.
Also if a demo version is all you are looking for, there are plenty of rooted stock roms that already comes with the demo game.

maybe you didn't read the post. But you are wrong because when the phone first came out the game was not in the play store. it was on teh phone as a demo and when i purchased i was told the payment would be added to my next TMobile bill. The NFS in the app store says shows as not purchased and form what i am told the one that comes on the phone is a slightly different version. only problem with the version on our phone is that it doesn't get updated like the one in the store. I guess my best bet is to use a rooted stock rom and back it up with titanium. I hope the license stays intact im not sure how tmobile handles that.
As I've said if you have a receipt just contact who you purchase from or Google Play store to get help. How much did you pay for the game? If it's $6.99 it should be paid through Google. Are u sure your game is not a demo?

All you need to do is provide a link from the creator of the game that shows it free to download for EVERYONE, ANYTIME. But as you say you PAID for a demo, it IS warez if you provide it for free. {Who pays for a DEMO?} The app that comes with the Note II is a DEMO of the App in the Playstore. When you PAY for it, you get the app in the Playstore.
As T-Mobile doesn't sell apps, who do you think the app was purchased from? I buy a bunch of apps on the Playstore and charge them to my T-Mobile account.
Firstly the demo is not paid version. So demo is not warez. In fact the developer paid Samsung Mobile to have the demo in Galaxy Note 2.
I don't know if the upgrade from demo to full is through Samsung's app store, Google Play store or through the developer themself. So I have no idea how to get around this problem. I would email the developer about this problem.
I bought the full version on the Google Play store when the price was discounted to $0.99. So that is the reason for not knowing. Sorry.

listen I have been on this site and planet way longer than you. the internet tough **** doesn't work for me. its not Warez and you hae no clue what you are talking about you cant be older than 15
I understand what the OP was trying to say but was not clear in explaining.
I also purchased the full version of NFS most wanted after playing the demo included on the note 2. It was an in app purchase for $6.99 that was charged to my T-mobile account.
If I go to the play store and search for NFS most wanted it comes up as costing $4.99. It does not say it is installed on my phone or purchased by me.
The issue will be when I root I will no longer have the version that came pre loaded on the note 2.
Is the apk of the demo really warez? If you can't download it from EA, Samsung, or T-mobile then I would say yes.
Still feel screwed over by T-mobile/Samsung on this one as it was miss leading since I thought I was purchasing an app from the play store, not some other market.

I agree I could have posted this to the mod directly but since you still do not know the meaning of warez it wouldn't have helped him understand either. The game posted is still a demo. and to activate it you have to pay through tmobile. you ask why i would pay for a demo? is that a question for real? anyway yes i can back up the game once i have a stock rooted rom blah blah. I have been doing this before you owned a cellphone so no biggie. but you are the boss here so I will obey your rules if i want to play here. the reason i started this thread is because so brat too over the other one that but once again i hear the rantings of kids that can only talk **** behind a computer and aren't even old enough to have a mortgage.

I understand what the OP was trying to say but was not clear in explaining.
I also purchased the full version of NFS most wanted after playing the demo included on the note 2. It was an in app purchase for $6.99 that was charged to my T-mobile account.
If I go to the play store and search for NFS most wanted it comes up as costing $4.99. It does not say it is installed on my phone or purchased by me.
The issue will be when I root I will no longer have the version that came pre loaded on the note 2.
Is the apk of the demo really warez? If you can't download it from EA, Samsung, or T-mobile then I would say yes.
Still feel screwed over by T-mobile/Samsung on this one as it was miss leading since I thought I was purchasing an app from the play store, not some other market.

Thanks for making it clear. I originally typed this from my phone. You understood what I meant without much detail due to the fact that you are in the same predicament. I would have hoped to get the response only from someone who was dealing with the same issue but instead people replied without knowing the details I failed to explain. From now on I will post as if I am speaking to my students and my children I long detail.

Understood and Noted, Sir. But your tone is lacking, I am addressing you and this thread in manner to better understand. BTW I would ask you realize I am not one of these kids....and no I am not the boss here or anywhere, I am a Member just like, and I contribute to XDA in my way as a Moderator. I have addressed you in an adult like manner, and Sir I am very aware of what a warez is, and your "for real" question, yes I asked if it was a paid demo.
Bottom-line this app or link, was it>> to a paid app demo or not.
Thank You & Thread Closed as per OP
