The app is branded by XDA-Dev, which must have cost something, and then can be downloaded free of charge by anyone from the Market.
How much did that cost? We're on another forum and looking to develop an app to do the same.

You might have more luck PMing svetius, but why not ask Tapatalk yourself? It might vary depending on the size of the forum and other features, maybe also the forum engine
Money < Love
I always assumed Tapatalk just loved/respected (possibly lovspected!) XDA, I never thought about the fact that the internet doesn't revolve around coders helping coders, pornography and... well I'm sure there are other things the internet is good for...

Would appear to be $999 for a forum.
I don't understand why forum for people, developing android applications, buyed app from someone else
I guess many people here would do that for free. If you would do some kind of contest for best xda app, you would get it for free. And maybe it would be even better than current one.
Hi,
First off, you guys rock. These forums really bring the community together and include some of the brightest minds this century has to offer.
Basically, I'm trying to get a foothold on the Android game scene and am at a bit of a loss of what to do next.
I've written a free game and couple of live wallpapers (see signature below - originally released 19 Jun 2011), which I am spending all the time I can developing. These have have had a number of downloads - but nothing spectacular.
I don't have any funds to throw into any advertising (I was hoping some sales would raise some to do this).
I'm not getting much in the way of feedback either - which I am at a loss of how to encourage. I don't have any willing beta-testers that are willing to work for appreciation.
So, I'm either doing something wrong, not doing something I should - or everyone is being polite because my apps are so poor they aren't worth commenting on (which I would take on the chin as I am constantly trying to improve them).
Have I released them into the market too early?
Or am I simply being impatient and should shut up and keep slogging away?
Can anyone please point me in the right direction? I really want to make this work as games writing may be a lot of work but it is way more fun!
Cheers,
Paul
If ur wanting a tester let me know mate ill get a few people to try it out

festa20,
That would be great! I'd really appreciate it.
I'll put something together to send to you later if that's ok?
I can't really offer any compensation at this stage apart from my gratitude, but that may change when the money comes rolling in.
Cheers,

Depending on what kind of game it is, I'd like to help test.
I'm somewhat of a dedicated gamer across different platforms, but I'm focused on games that do not have a storyline to follow (ie., no RPG games). Action games and puzzles are my forte.

It's a top-down tower defence game. There is definitely a level of action and strategy involved.
It's my first android/java game and I'm trying to improve as I learn. I hope you like what you see so far and maybe even see some potential.
Ver 1.2 of Livestock Vs The Undead is on the market (see sig below) - so if you wouldn't mind checking that out before I can get a beta to you (hopefully in the next week or so). There have quite a few tweaks since that version, but it'll give you an idea of what it's about.
Many thanks,
Paul

Hiya,
I've just emailed you all out the latest version of my app (v1.3 beta) and I look forward to your findings.
Kind regards,
Paul
Hello again everyone. It has been a long few months. I had hoped that I would be back in the community by now but some things have been keeping me back. My mother has been having medical issues for a while now and I have been going through some desperate financial times. This was going on while I was active also I just didn't say anything. And I am embarrassed and hate that I have to do this now.
Well here it is. I need $50,000 to save my home. So I am asking that if you can spare anything to please send it to my paypal [email protected]. I am not into the social media thing so if you can spread the word to friends and family I would greatly appreciate it. If I don't get enough to save my home I will return all of the money. If you prefer to loan the money to me I will work as hard as possible to pay it back as quickly as I can. Just send me an email so we can work out the details.
I am really sorry for coming at you all like this but I don't know what else to do. If this is breaking the forum rules I deeply apologize and hope that you can understand my circumstances.
On a better note, I hope to have a computer setup in the next week or two. I see ALOT of things have changed since I have been out, and it might take a little bit to get back into the swing of things, but hope to be contributing again soon.
Thank you all for everything that you do.
Sincerely,
crawrj

At first I thought this was a joke.
Unfortunately, I realized it wasn't. It may or may not be against "forum" rules, but it's definitely against "things that are done" rules. Seriously, coming onto a smartphone forum/community and hitting the public up for 50 THOUSAND dollars???
Wow.. I don't really know what to say. I guess this may be the only way to explain it:
This week, I'm moving into a MUCH smaller home, because I seriously fell behind on my house note, and yes, the bank repossessed it, and it sucks, and it is happening all over the place. I did my best to come up with the shortage (the bank wanted the full amount, so it was more than 50k), but finally, I accepted my fate and am trying to get through a tough situation by dealing with the things I can control, and disregarding the things I cannot. However, throughout the last ~4 months I tried to save the house, not ONCE did the thought ever even enter my brain that it'd be an OK idea to come on XDA (or any social site for that matter) and flat-out ask other people to give me THEIR money so I could solve MY problem. I just don't get that at all.
Look, I'm sorry you're having a rough time: I really am....
But this isn't the place to ask for financial aid. Man up and deal with it the best you can, and keep the talk around here about Android, and Roms, and ICS, and yadayadayada.... That's what it's meant for, nothing else.
Just my 2 cents.

He didn't ask for 50,000 dollars. He said that was what he needed to save his house. If it was someone else, any of the contributors in this community I would have not even given it a thought. But given the amount of time he has spent here and the things that he has done I could stand to give a couple bucks. I can already tell you the likely hood of making the amount in donations from people who have used his work or been helped by him is not going to happen. That doesn't mean the freeloaders can't chip in.
If people want to help out someone who has spent time helping make the E4GT community (and much further back) what it is then they can feel free to donate. If it is seen as something against the rules the moderators will deal with it as well.
I need $30,000 to pay off my student loans and another $7,000 to pay off my car! Please donate to me
Anyways sorry to hear about your bad luck. Hopefully things will work them selves out.

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's illness and hope she is on the mend and feel for you with your financial issues.
Have you checked into the programs available to homeowners to help with mortgage issues? I don't own a home so I'm not intimately familiar with them but perhaps your lender could point you in the right direction or maybe you could find something via Google.
I hope your situation improves soon. If I find out anything that might assist you I'll pass it along and will keep you and your family in my thoughts.

I am terribly sorry that you had to go through that and certainly understand your opinion on the matter. I would gladly "man up" if it were only about me. But I have children to consider and I am trying my best to keep them from being impacted by this. And I will do whatever I can to keep that from happening. To me that is "manning up" but that is just my opinion. And maybe you have kids also. I am only stating where I am coming from. Trust me, I don't like this any more than you do. Plus I am not asking for a handout. If someone is capable of loaning me the money I am more than happy to pay it back. So if this offends you or you just simply don't want anything to do with it then please just ignore it. Negative comments aren't necessary.

I am sorry for what you are going through right now I completely understand and If I could help you out I would. I have only been in the E4GT forums for a few days and from the looks of it you are one of the most well respected people here. I really hope that things start looking up for you. It takes a REAL MAN to admit that you need help, and for that I applaud you.

I'm really sorry to hear about your financial troubles, and I hope everything takes a turn for the positive for you and your family. I do agree that this is most definitely not the place to be coming to for help like this but you know something? I would do the exact same thing if I was in your shoes so f*ck 'em. It takes a real man to swallow his pride and ask for help especially among your peers that have as much respect for you as this forum does. It shows that you are humble and will do what you can to take care of your family, even it just means asking a bunch of anonymous internetters for a little help. Unfortunately, all I can offer you are these words, so I wish you the best of luck and again I hope things turn around for you.

Okay, fair enough. Maybe I was just venting my frustration over losing almost 10 years of equity.. I DO know what you're going through though... If you do come to the realization that the mortgage isn't going to be extended, and it does go in to repossession, I CAN give you a lot of good advice on how to still occupy the home for a lot longer than you might think. The bank will make it sound like they're gonna kick you out on the street. They can't do that, if you take advantage of a few laws that they must abide by. You can do all this without a lawyer, if you'd like more details, pm me. (For example, my house was sold back to the bank in November, but for a while, it looked like they were going to allow me to reinstate my mortgage.. That didn't end up happening, and I'm moving this week, but it's been almost 7 months since the house was actually repossessed, and STILL not one person from the bank has demanded that we leave.. That's a lot of time to get a new head start, even if you can't save your home... Like I said, PM me if you need that kind of advice.

Not to sound like a d-bag, but if your in such dire straits why are you worrying about getting a computer and deving? That sound like you have your priorities all wrong. You shouldn't be worrying about a computer at all unless it makes you money in some way or fashion. I do appreciate all the work you've done for us but really you should get all this sorted before you even think about contributing again.

Hi there
I am not sure if I posted on the right area but I am trying some days now to find out how can I develop an app idea.
I am not familiar with these kind of things.
Anything to propose? Is there any kind of trusty companies out there where I might be able to have a deal?
Any help will be appreciated.
Sorry for my poor English.

I can tell you with certainty that no developer will make this for you without significant money up front.
Your only good option is to make it yourself. Learn the language.
Also, wrong forum.
I am not looking for a developer!
I didn't asked for free help!!!
I already mentioned that I wasn't sure if this is the right section!
And for sure I am not going to learn on this age how to make apps lol.
I only asked if anyone knows a trusty company for such things.

Sentence #...
1. He is just saying that it will cost cash, not that you want it for free.
2. You are
3. Use your common sense. Better yet, read the damned rules.
Never make the excuse you don't know where to post. If we could learn where to post, you could also learn. And you most definitely not going to find a company who does not develop but also help you make this app. I'm guessing since of your slightly off english you want an app, you have an idea, yes? If you don't know how to make an app, you must request for the services of someone else to make it for you. So you ARE asking for a dev, or a company of the sorts who develop and market apps. Also, you might not be asking for free help if you want someone to make an app, maybe you do want to pay them. He is just pointing it out. Its like paying a construction company to build a successful resort but not paying them. And make it yourself its not extremely difficult to learn coding and application making (except when it comes to more complex examples, i.e. an app with A.I. or a game which rivals the likes of shadowgun). If it is simple, make it yourself. If the idea is complex, well make sure you got some serious cash before asking a company to do it for you.

For the end, I didnt want to be mean or something with my previous reply. I just wanted to make clear what i am looking for.
Best I could tell you aside from what's already been mentioned is to look for a prominent developer (one known for quality and good support) on one of the app stores, who has similar apps or seems to deal with the type of stuff people who would like yours already use.
Once you've found one or a few, research them, check their website, and if comfortable with them, initiate contact and ask to be put in touch with someone about an app idea you have that they may like to hear about.
If you make it that far it's up to you to sell them on yourself and your ideas.
Good luck with it.

So, I've come up with an idea for a simple yet addictive game for iPhone/Android. Without going into too much detail, it was something I used to play with when I was younger and was just thinking about it the other day, and thought, hmmm, that would make a great idea for a game on my phone. The more I think about it, the more I want to do it, but I have no experience with coding etc, or even where to begin... I searched for the name of the app and there is nothing like it out there.
So, I was just wondering if anybody on here knew a trusted developer I could share my idea with and develop it for me? If so, please message me.
We would be partners on the game and can arrange a mutual % before any work would be carried out.
Thanks in advance.
