Amazon Free App of the Day

[Spider]

What are you doing during your bye week?

Waiting for the Packers/Vikings game. As long as someone loses, I'll be happy.

How come there is a 10 character minimum for posting?

Probably to prevent someone from posting a 4 character word.

Fish Jam is the 10/28 app.

In this dynamic colour-based game, it’s up to you to catch the right fish. Go for the yellow, blue and orange fellows to increase score and avoid the green and red ones. Challenge your friends in a multiplayer match on the same screen and share your scores on Facebook.

All of the good, bad and ugly reviews seemed to agree that this is a kids game. But it requires network access for FB, which kids aren't even allowed to have. One reviewer gave it 5 stars without ever even trying it!

SimpleRockets is the 10/29 app.

Design your own rocket ships. Blast off into space. Explore the solar system. See if you have what it takes to be a rocket scientist. Take on the built-in challenges to see if you can go the fastest, fly the farthest, orbit with the least amount of fuel, land on the moon, and so much more.

Well, I am not a rocket scientist and don't play one on tv. Does someone else want to take a stab at this?

Halloween Coloring is the 10/30 app.

Get in the spirit of this holiday with this custom edition of Color & Draw. Enjoy the 20 gorgeous Halloween coloring pages with 10 custom Halloween stickers. Features include multiple erasers, variable strokes and transparency and multi-touch that allows two people to draw simultaneously.

I'm starting to think there might not be a Halloween Mahjong this year JB. Only one more chance.

 

[jbenham]

Maybe they missed that one.

For the Halloween Coloring, this is what a reviewer said. It sums it up quite nicely. IAP Alert!

"This is not a full version, but a sample of the complete set of coloring pages. The first set of pages - Halloween theme - is unlocked. The other 7 seven sets of coloring pages must be paid for (at $.99 each) to unlock everything."

 

[Spider]

Well, at least they were up front about it.

Hidden Objects - Zombie Madness is the 10/31 app.

Over 600 hidden objects to find! Choose out of 3 play modes for each level and find objects by their picture, silhouette or name. Once a puzzle is solved, your child is rewarded with a celebration of balloons. Great for learning first words, improving shape recognition and motor activity.

I am thinking Amazon would be better off highlighting one of their free apps everyday, instead of throwing crap at us and trying to make us believe they are giving us a good deal. This app has two 5 star reviews and they are both from the developer. This is a hidden object game where the object is in the same place on every screen. Plus there is a permanent ad in the screen and a hidden object is under the ad on every page. Trick or Treat, we know which one Amazon is pulling on us today.

Trick or Treat, we know which one Amazon is pulling on us today.

Nice review JB.

Type and Talk is the 11/1 app.

A fun app that says whatever you type. Customize the speed and pitch and create the speaking voice you want. Simple to use, just type, hit the talk button, and let the magic begin!

 

[jbenham]

This looks like a specialty app. If you have use for such a thing, it got good reviews and has no permissions.

3D Mahjong Mountain PREMIUM is the 11/2 app.

Featuring single levels or campaign mode, this beautiful 3D game board lets you easily match tiles across all layouts. Use the redo button, shuffle mode, and selectable piece functions to guide you to victory. Be clever and use your skills to solve all levels and conquer the Tai Shan Mountain!
