Hello
Need testers for a Wallpaper app based on the Geoscape Earth view from the 1994 MicroProse game UFO: Enemy Unknown / X-COM: UFO Defense. It is completely free and needs no permissions, has no ads, popups, notifications, tracking, logging or in app purchases.
New user, so not allowed top post links, but it can be found on
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.makesnake.geoscape
or by searching for "xcom ufo" on the Play Store.
The app has been available for about year, and seems to work well on most devices. Bugs have been reported on Droid Ultra, so testing on this device would be great. Recently a settings screen was added, which seems to cause issues on HTC One and it would be good to know if these can be reproduced.
Anyone interested will be added as a private Beta-tester for future releases.
Feedback and ideas are very appreciated!

Hi, folks!
I develop game for WP7, called Naval Battle. I don't want this post to appear as a promotion.
I'd like to gather end-user feedback on this game - I have no phone, and there are no phones in my country yet.
If someone has spare time to look at the app, that would be great!

There is a link to the zune's page also.
ps. as I'm new here, I cannot post links. Replace xttp to the http
I have not tried the game my self (lack of phone at the moment) but are their any cut scenes / animations?
Or is it just the green grid?
basically 3 screens - setup ships, play and information
So, Ive made the app for 1800PocketPC & thought I would make a thread about its development,
mostly because I need a bit of help from those with greater knowledge than me
Saijo (the owner of the site) has already made a thread about it over here CLICKY.
There is also a page on my website about it here: CLICKY
Features:
Displays the latest article from your chosen feed on the homepage.
Shows feeds from these different areas:
- News
- App Reviews
- Game Reviews
- General games news
- Free games news
- Xbox Live games news
Displays articles in a mobile friendly way.
Gives you the opportunity to contact the site or the developer (me).
Due to the youtube plugin not working in 3rd party apps, links to the
mobile youtube page are dynamically added to the menu.
The same applies to marketplace links, which would not open strait
from 3rd party apps, links are dynamically added to the menu instead.
You can view & add comments posted on any article.
There is landscape support throughout all but 1 part of the app.
You can also get achievements!
You can download the current version here:
Or you can like it on Facebook here CLICKY
Im currently working on the next major build, which will add:
Twitter & Facebook integration.
Overall UI improvements.
A better mobile reading experience.
Full portrait/landscape support.
Location based advertising off by default.
Now, what I need is help with at the moment is facebook & twitter.
I found a brilliant tut here & I transplanted some of the code from there, so It can now share articles to facebook.
My problems are these:
I don't know how to post to twitter.
I don't know how to get & display all posts from someone's facebook wall (namely the bestwp7games & 1800pocketpc pages)
I don't know how to get & display all posts from someone's twitter account :/
So yeah, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Google hath fail'd me
Being as polite as possible, you need to search. If you ask questions like "how do I ..." you're not really progressing as a developer, as the two services you mentioned have amazingly detailed and well-defined APIs.
I will point you to the kind of Google queries I use to find these answers, that way you can keep developing without wasting time waiting for other people to answer:
Twitter: http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=update+twitter+status+c#
FB Wall Posts: http://www.google.co.uk/search?sour...ebook+wall+posts+c#&pbx=1&fp=b0dc1443d535784d
Recent Tweets: http://www.google.co.uk/search?sour...&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&fp=b0dc1443d535784d
Thanks. You're right, I probably should have searched more.
I was a bit afraid Id find something & try working with it only to find it didnt work with WindowsPhone :/
How about we make a list of games and apps we KNOW have compatibility problems with the A100, and a possible workaround or future prospect.
Something like this:
Moxier Mail -- Incompatible because of resolution problems. Dev says it'll be fixed in upcoming upgrade.
Mizuu Movies -- emailed the dev, he said he should have support for smaller screen tablets ready around mid-November. (If you guys haven't seen or tried Mizuu Movies, you really should. It's phenomenal.)
Reddita -- about to email the dev (he's an XDA member) and see if he can help us out.
IMDb -- resorts to the phone version of the app, rather than the EXCELLENT tablet layout.
Movies (Flixster's Rotten Tomatoes app) -- installs but force closes on our small resolution tablets. (An excellent tablet app on the 10.1 inch Honeycomb tabs, though).
Feel free to add away!

Good idea...but you stole my contribution (I'm joking, don't worry about it)
Not working:
Mizuu Movies -- emailed the dev, he said he should have support for smaller screen tablets ready around mid-November. (If you guys haven't seen or tried Mizuu Movies, you really should. It's phenomenal.)
Reddita -- about to email the dev (he's an XDA member) and see if he can help us out.

This is a good idea and the best way is for the OP to keep adding the apps that users list, so that members visiting this thread can see from the first post which all apps are compatible.
I am gonna add the ones from above my post to the OP
Driftmania Championship- staays stuck on the first screen appears. Emailed dev, assuming they are working on it.
ummmmm............ could you repeat that?
Whatsapp for tablets
Does anyone know or have an idea why or when will be "whatsapp" app available for Tablets? I tried on my A100 but the installer said it's no compatible
Hi everyone,
I'm working on my first app for WP7, a bike trip manager. It's 50% completed - the app's working and no new functionalities will be added. The other 50% is of course bug-finding.
I want to test it on a real Windows Phone device, I don't own one and the emulator isn't perfect for testing. I won't post any details yet, but I can assure you that it will be useful and convenient for cyclists (including me).
For now, I need ONE tester with a Windows Phone Mango, just to check the basic functionalities on a real phone. Then, I'll need around 5 testers to find all the bugs and volunteers to translate some texts to several languages.
I plan to put the app on the Marketplace and everyone who will play a role in beta-testing will have this app for free.
Please don't PM me, just post in the thread and I'll contact you ASAP

Ok, that's enough for now, thanks!
So, the app is on the Marketplace as a private beta: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/apps/78978875-c8de-4834-bcb9-ef982750ad32
If anyone's interested in beta-testing, please PM me your Live ID.
So, finally the app is on the Marketplace!
roamr - Windows Phone Marketplace
Thanks everyone who have helped me make this app better. I believe I can still improve it, so any suggestions and bug reports are welcome.
I just want to announce that since today, the app (for a limited amount of time) is available for FREE
Hi everyone!
We're looking for testers for our photo processing app named Pho.to Lab. It's a collection of more than 500 photo effects. These are mostly photo frames and photo montages. All the effects are applied automatically, so the app works more like Instagram filters rather than Photoshop. Warning: it needs Internet connection to process photos. If you're going to use cellphone data, you better not.
Pho.to Lab has been on the market since 2011, but we have completely redesigned the new version. I've attached some screenshots to compare the versions so you can see how different they are. And this difference is the reason why we are looking for testers.
View attachment 2168443View attachment 2168444
We're looking for feedback on two things. The first one is, obviously, any kind of bugs. Weird fonts, erratic shadows, stuff like that. You know,he app redesign can work bad on devices with extremely small or large resolutions or ppi. The second thing you could tell us is if you ike the app design. Was it obvious how to use it? Did the app do what you expected?
To get access to the app, join XDA Android App testers community or Pho.to Lab Beta community. Then follow this link and, pretty please, read what Play Market says you. Just in case you don't feel like reading it: opt-in first, then click the link below, then click 'Install' button.
Feel free to ping me anywhere. This thread, PMs, comments in one of the communities, and G+ messages are welcome. And please remember that I live in Eastern Europe. If you're from America and you're posting your comment in evening, I might very well be sleeping. So don't worry if I don't answer your questions or comments immediately, I'll definitely get back to you a little later.
Please check out Pho.to Lab and thank you!
