Title: Notable iPhone apps that are on sale.
Post by: Eeems on December 21, 2009, 05:03:42 pm
Decided to post this.
So I have an app called pandora's box that let's you see which apps are on sale for the iPhone. So I decided to post this for all of you iPhone/itouch users who like full apps that are free.
*note I'm only posting free apps that are notable.

Now if only there was a $100 iphone model...

My gripe with that thing is that I wouldn't want to use it as a phone, because cellphone plans over here are overpriced and I am pretty fine paying just $10 a month for phone at home (costs split with my bro)

Well you could just get the $200 iPod touch (8GB) like I did :)
yeah I know what you mean. I would get a cellphone, but it costs to much...

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 21, 2009, 08:21:06 pm
yeah altough $200 is still a lot for me atm x.x

Another issue I have at home is that I don't have wifi connection, Idk if that could be a problem

I don't use Wifi because it's not really reliable during Starcraft games

Yeah that would be a problem with all the apps that need wifi...but you can use iTunes to get all your apps.

Mhmm I hope the contest was not a scam x.x

I know Texas Instruments did a contest once for teachers and it ended up being a scam x.x

Noahbaby94 almost (maybe unintentionally) turned an half of our own contest into a scam too x.x and I remember some old contests everywhere where someone worked hard on something and finally heard no more sign of life from the contest.

Could you e-mail Greenfoot admins and ask what's going on?
Title: Re: Notable iPhone apps that are on sale.
Post by: Builderboy on December 21, 2009, 10:00:06 pm
I will if it takes any longer. :/

I'm pretty sure its not a scam tho, as it was ligit last year.
Title: Re: Notable iPhone apps that are on sale.
Post by: Eeems on December 21, 2009, 10:46:53 pm
Yeah.
Well new app on sale that I would like to mention
•Dialogues
--let's you communicate with any other user in private chats
--Push notifications of new replies

Edit: also if you get this one, let me know :p I need someone to talk to on it :p
Title: Re: Notable iPhone apps that are on sale.
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 21, 2009, 11:04:28 pm
Maybe some admin just went away or had problems and can no longer get on x.x
I hope it won't get cancelled

Well, this app is not for sale, but for only 6.99, its practically a steal.

Its called N.O.V.A.  (Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance)  here's more info if anyone wants it.

Hey guys, I recently noticed on the Apple Store that they are giving out 1 free app, song or video starting from 25th of December from a selection of the most popular ones. This will last for 12 days!
I just hope that by "apps", they also mean the ones for iPod nano (that's the only iPod I have)...
Title: Re: Notable iPhone apps that are on sale.
Post by: agent84 on December 22, 2009, 05:38:46 pm
i doubt it, cuz when i had a ipod classic, all of the games were just called "games" and are in a completely different section of the apple store.  "apps" are just for iphones and ipod touches (like me, i have a ipod touch 3g :D )
Title: Re: Notable iPhone apps that are on sale.
Post by: Eeems on December 22, 2009, 06:01:12 pm
Really? Hmm, I'll have to look into this...
Title: Re: Notable iPhone apps that are on sale.
Post by: agent84 on December 22, 2009, 06:28:20 pm
if apple says they are giving away ipod games too, those include the classic and nano.  but if its just apps, then they mean the apps for iphones and ipod touches.
Title: Re: Notable iPhone apps that are on sale.
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 22, 2009, 07:32:38 pm
Or an iPod touch :p
why does everybody forget about the itouch?
I think it's because both have some similar features and confuse the itouch as the iphone. I myself got confused for a while.

Yeah I didnt get an email or anything from apple and I havent heard anything either...but I do know that the Appvent Calendar had some pretty cool games that they were giving away for free only for a day for everyday up until christmas. I got some good free apps from it and you still have two days so check it out.

Title: Re: Notable iPhone apps that are on sale.
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 23, 2009, 02:21:00 am
Did you got this via e-mail, other kind of message or something like this? If so, are you sure it's from Apple? Maybe it is a scam, so watch out.
Title: Re: Notable iPhone apps that are on sale.
Post by: Eeems on December 23, 2009, 12:18:09 pm
It might be a scam, but if he saw it in the store it wouldn't be.
And another app:
•Pushme.to
--allows anyone to send you an instant message for free
--uses comp, and iPhone/itouch
--push notifications
--nicknames :D

so if anybody needs to get ahold of me quickly and I am not on irc, or the forum try using this

EDIT: You might be able to access this offer if you change the localization in the App Store.

Ah :/
yeah we might, but I don't know how legal that is.
Title: Re: Notable iPhone apps that are on sale.
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 26, 2009, 02:48:06 am
yeah Idk if they track countries IPs. If it's from outside France maybe the person might have some trouble unless iPhone uses the same IP addresses and internet service worldwide.
