I woke up this morning to 2 new 1-star rating on my app, which made it 3 total. There were no comments and no purchase cancellations in the last couple of days, so I said to myself WTF, 2 people actually kept the app and gave it a one star? I thought it might be a competitor. But I just looked again and the 2 new 1-stars have disappeared. What is going on with the market?

Is there a way to allow users to enter in a comment and or rating for my app from directly within my app and have that data posted back to the Android Market? If so, what would the code for that look like if I used an EditText view to allow user input? If not, then is my only other option directly linking to my app in the Market (i.e. the user clicks the link in my app, or a button, and the Market app launches with my app page displayed)?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI made a beta-version of a game which at the beginning was a testing- version. I solved more and more errors and made it faster and faster. Now I am getting to the point that it isn't a beta-version anymore. I have customers who like my free game and I also have old bad comments that my game was not working. Should I remove my beta-version and upload a completely new application to enhance my rating? (All my last comments were good) Or is there a possibility to remove old ratings?
I think it would be much better if the google-market will not include ratings of old versions into the total rating, because apps and versions change over time! Why doesn't google do this and how can I give this advice to google?
I have had a free version of my app available for several months. With the new features I am about to release in the latest version, and with paid apps now possible, I intend to split the app into a free lite/trial version and a paid full version.I am aware that I must create a new app with a new signature for the full version b/c I can't change the current free app to a paid one.I don't mind this, but,is there any way I can transfer the thousands of feedback and ratings I have accumulated so far to the paid version even though it will have a totally new signature?
View 14 Replies View RelatedSO I open the market (that has a billion apps in it), and I am trying to sort the results by rateing, or popularity or something. Surely there must be some way to filter them.
Am I totally missing something? Also - locale sounds cool - lots of people recommend it, but when I search for that I get like 50 results that all look like they could be the "right" one. what one do I want? it is a paid app right?
I really want to add comments and ratings to a number of applications in the free Market, but I can't see any way to do it. How are you meant to add a comment? Maybe it's because I'm in Denmark, which should get/have gotten access to paid Market apps, but even so does not seem to offer paid apps yet. If that's the case, it's kinda dumb that you can't even comment on the free stuff. So, how are you meant to add a comment? Either I'm doing it wrong, or I'm not able to I'd like to know which is the case.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIt seems like the Market's rating system usings floor() instead of round(), so if you get 1000 FIVE-STAR ratings, and one FOUR-STAR, your app will be 4.5 star. Does this feel kind of silly?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've had a one star rating on a new theme I released and as It's the only rating it looks terrible. I would accept it if they just didn't like the theme but they say it force closes and does not work which after thorough testing, I have never been able to replicate, whats even more annoying is that in the listing we have put our email incase anyone gets problems then they can contact us to get them rectified.

When I try to launch market place with id of an application say com.mybrowser.android by throwing an intent android.intent.action.VIEW with url: market://details?id=com.mybrowser.android, the market place application does launches but crashes after launch.

I hope to figure out the direct URL link to my application on the market like http://market:blahblah
I was able to find the application ID previously by going to the UI interface to upload application, and looking at the URL link that can edit the app.
However, this method doesn't seem to work any more because the now the edit URL link contains only the package name and not the app ID.
Any idea how to get the application ID?
Wasn't there mention back during the Google conference of a Android media center type of application for the PC. Hate to think of the Itunes but yes, an itunes like application but for Android. Organize our music and other programs on the computer and sync it up. Make searching for applications easier and we can back up our downloaded ups on the pc.
Its great to use our phones as flash drives with plug and go but is there something already on the market or elsewhere that can do what I've mentioned?
I just bought an Acer Liquid today, and of course the first application I looked for in the market was my own. I couldn't find it.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am curious about the procedure for updating an app that was acquired off the market. Do you simply install over your existing app? And if so, what happens to your existing data?Is there a way to tie your installed apps to the market, so it can automatically check for updates? Any information is appreciated.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSomething really strange happened today and I could really use some help figuring it out. I believe its related to Google's SSO infrastructure, and I don't really know how to contact Google to get my application rescued.
I have a google apps account I used to create the application, its claytantor at sightlyinc dot com not a f...@gmail.com account but its a Google Apps account, so I used it to upload and distribute my application. Today when I was using blogger my account said "do you want to use claytantor at sightlyinc dot com or claytantor at sightlyinc dot com for this account?" what kind of choice is that they are both the same? Well my guess is that somehow I chose the one that locks me out of my Android Market account because when I went to try to upload a new version of my app it thinks I don't have an Android Market account.
Paying the extra 20 bucks wouldn't bug me but there is a version of my software out there that I cant access or manage now, and that *really* bothers me. If I create a new account I will have two versions of mys software floating around the new one and the old one that has been stranded! I cant live with that.
This has come up before, but I'm still not clear. I published my first app last night. It sunk like a stone. I want to change its name. I don't want to force the few people who have downloaded it to get an update. It seems to me that if I:
1. Change the android: label in the manifest to be the new name, and
2. Resubmit it with the same version number
Then the name in the market should change but not force an update. Is this correct?
I want to launch my application in market. I ahd go to http://market.android.com/publish/signup but there they are asking for Website URL. But i don't have any website then what should I enter there? or is it necessary to have our own website to launch application in market?
View 6 Replies View RelatedToday, I placed our new app onto the market store. It can be found by most mobile phones - unfortunately, it cannot be detected by one specific model which is used by one of our customers. It is the Vodafone 845, with a small screen (240x320p) and low density (120 dpi). It's running with Android 2.1, updated version (i.e. SDK 7), and has all the necessary hardware (GPS, cam, and internet access), but, however, doesn't detect the app in the market. I have already tried anyDensity="true". The app is free, not copy protected, and open to all countries. I have the following settings in the manifest:
xmlns:android="xxx"
package="xxx"
android:versionCode="10"
android:versionName="1">
<supports-screens
android:largeScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:smallScreens="true".............
I just uploaded my application in the market, but I'm not able to purchase it (it's a pay app). I saw here that it seems to be made by design, but then why the error message is Server Error try again? Is there a way to bypass that?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just released a major update to my wootCheck application in the market and feel that it is the best woot checking app available by far. My app checks all of the different woot sites and shows everything you would need to know about the product. It auto-refreshes for wootoffs and is extremely fast. I am currently working on a few new features but if you try it and can think of something you would like to see comment below.
