I can see why they would do that, but it would be nice to be able to have the option to download it. Maybe a switch in your personal settings with a big fat warning label on it.
 
This morning I had checked Amazon's website and the free app they had was Airport Mania 2: Wild Flights. I was planning to download it later on during the day but to my surprise now it's What's Different?

Why did Amazon change the free app of the day? Have they done this before?

Didn't they already do Airport Mania 2?????

Hey Scur you think you might wanna contact Chrlwltrs and see about maybe starting to update the OP of this thread again? Perhaps make it a sticky? If so then feel free to contact him/me (and cc frisco). If not cool! Thought I'd ask

Yes, they did.

They've done it a few times before. I'm not sure if some of the app devs wish to only give away a certain amount of paid apps or what, but I think I've seen it happen maybe 5 other times.
 
Today's free app is Cookies And Milk. Think I would rather have a virtual beer. :)

For everyone familiar with WOOT, there is a Woot-Off today.

Now there's an app idea. Purchase "virtual drink tickets" and get yourself virtually blotto. The app would use the phone's camera to display an augmented-reality beer-goggles version of the world, where you drive like Mario Andretti, tell jokes like Jay Leno, and all the ladies look like [insert starlet name here, for my generation it's Farrah Fawcett].

Yeah, it figures... they always come the week *before* I get paid. :(
 
EasyMoney is a great app. It's cool that others can use it now, without risking the ten-spot.
 
It was very well authored and easy to understand. You have brought up a very excellent points. I had never heard of such options before. Thanks for explaining it so deeply for apps. we need the apps for htc sensation xe phone...
 
Today's free app is Twist n'Catch, an adventure game. It has a 4 Star rating but is not compatible with LG Optimus or MyTouch 3G Slide.
 
Today's app is the game Reversi, something nice and basic. No flying birds or felonious pigs, just an old-fashioned board game ported to Android. Probably could have done it in a tenth of the 1.8MB, but I won't begrudge them some pretty graphics beyond the traditional white/black tokens.

And if their Reversi is good, I just might spring for the Backgammon game by this company (AI Factory Limited) based on my experience. Good loss leader!

PS: No permissions requested. Sweet.

Yes, the AI Factory Limit games are all quite good.

I have their Chess and Checkers games, and both are quite good, and have a very nice look/feel to them.
I also grabbed the Reversi game too. :)
 
Amazon apps are very annoying.
Why "just" USA ???
I'd like a taste of a few freebies too. Ive tried all the "fixes" and none work
Isn't it about time Amazon apps invited a few more countries, starting with the ones where they have succesful Amazon stores, England, France, Germany, Japan ?
 
Today's app is free Money. ;) It's iBear Money, which looks like a handy way to track spending and balance a checkbook, etc.

I'm tempted, but I've got all my info in clearcheckbook.com -- which lets me do large-scale data entry and balancing in my browser, while entering receipts on the go in its associated Android app. It's free, but it does have some annoyances.

Biggest problem with clearcheckbook is that it doesn't handle cloud-device interaction by a sync function -- the Android app is just a front-end for the data on the clearcheckbook.com server. That means you can't enter a transaction unless you have data access, because the app doesn't even know what accounts you have unless it can connect to the server.

I track my accounts compulsively... a simple app with a web interface and sync would be worth paying for. Suggestions welcome!
