Amazon App Store Thread - Daily Free Apps

Today's is a kids app called "Learning to Draw is Fun" (apparently Crafting a Name is Hard). It requests no permissions and is movable to SD, so I grabbed it for the next time the grandbaby comes over.

Warning: it starts whistling a cute little ditty when you run it. Great for kids... not so great at work. :/

I did not check the ratings. Interested in what they said about AI.

If it doesn't conclude, "The only winning move is not to play," then I'm not going to download it. The last thing I need on my phone is an AI that doesn't go through ALL the scenarios before calling in a first strike.

How about a nice game of chess?

;)
 
Newb, just got my first Android..

What is the actual name of this app? How do i get the Free daily apps?

I see amazon mobile but idk if that's the correct app
 
Using your phone, do a Google search for Amazon Appstore. One of the top links should be what you're looking for. You'll need to be sure to have turned on the toggle for allowing non-market apps in order to install it. Once installed, you'll use your Amazon log in, and be all set.

I'm not sure that I follow you. Is that your device, or the name of an app?

Must be my device, but its warning me if i want to give permission to the app. And that if i do then the app can access my debit card info and all that other stuff. Just dont want any identity theft goin on
 
Can you post screenshot of the app? Maybe of its splash screen or something? It's just that I don't remember any such warning when I loaded the Amazon appstore on my device.
 
yes.. it is OK...

you are downloading a Amazon APP store.. to purchase more apps... so yes, it will need to access a lot of things.

that is the one that gets free apps each day.

you will need to create an account with Amazon.
 
Today: "Draw(er) Pro". I don't know what the parenthes(es) are about, but it's a very small app (moveable to SD) that does simple drawing. The thing I like is that you can turn anti-aliasing on or off, which makes the app much more friendly to my low-end Android.
 
Today's app is, oddly enough, not Valentine-themed at all... except maybe for the cutesy hearts in its icon. It's called "Bag It!" (because all apps must now! include! exclamation! points!), and it sounds pretty much like Tetris in a shopping bag. It says it "works best on higher end devices", so I skipped it.

Back in 1984, when was bagging groceries after school, I was thinking up games like this. Fill the grocery sack just right, not too heavy, not too light. And when I was a busboy, I fantasized about a game where you had to put the dishes in the bus tub just so, to minimize trips to the scalding hell of the dishwasher room. (I did write a shooting gallery game for my TRS-80, at least.) But I don't think it's fair to say I was born 30 years too early... 'cuz there's no telling what the 40-somethings of 2042 will look at and wish they'd had back in 2012!
 
Given that Amazon keeps track of the free apps they give away to users (like the Market does for paid apps), I'd recommend you get it, even if you don't use it until toy upgrade your device. The app is yours forever.
 
Every day I get the free apps, though I usually don't download and install them. I've found out the hard way to do this on my computer only, because many times grabbing the free app of the day on the Amazon Appstore app results in multiple attempts by the app to download and install. Gets very irritating.
 
I've experienced the multiple downloads. How do you swing it on the desktop?
