Wed, December 21, 2011: Gift Shopper Pro

Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Wed, December 21, 2011 is Gift Shopper Pro!



Application Description:

Make a gift-shopping list and check it twice

Keep notes about everyone on your list

'Tis better to give than receive--and 'tis better to tackle your holiday shopping with Gift Shopper Pro than without. Track everyone on your Naughty and Nice lists and make sure you don't leave anybody out with this helpful app for your Android device.

Never Lose Your List

Shopping for presents can be a chaotic process, especially during the holidays, but Gift Shopper Pro is here to help ease the insanity. With this app you can create detailed, customized shopping lists that take the pain and disorganization out of gift giving.

Simplicity Itself

The last thing you need when trying to get a handle on your holiday shopping is complexity and confusion. Thankfully, Gift Shopper Pro is simple and intuitive. There are three main ways of organizing your shopping: People, Shopping List, and Occasions.

In People view, simply create a list of individuals you need to shop for by entering their names or pulling them from your Contacts list. Each person has their own record in the app, where you can enter their birthday, anniversary, likes and dislikes, clothing sizes, and any other notes you might want to add.

In Shopping List view, the app allows you to create entries for all the gifts you need to purchase. For each gift you can fill in the recipient, occasion, price, store name, and other information. As you buy the items on your list you can check them off right in the app. There's even a field to note if the gift has been wrapped or not.

Under the Occasions tab view, you can list major gift-giving occurrences (birthdays, anniversaries) and holidays (Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, etc.). One click shows, for example, a list of birthdays for all your friends and family. There's even a feature noting how many shopping days you have left until the big day is here.

Scan to Add

An even easier way to create your gift list in Gift Shopper Pro is by scanning bar codes for the items you want to purchase. This automatically creates a record in your list that you can then assign to a person or occasion.

For Santa's Eyes Only

Keep your list away from prying eyes by setting up customized password protection. If you do want to share your list with helpers, you can e-mail or text it right from the app. Use Gift Shopper Pro to ensure that no one in your life ends up with an empty stocking over the fireplace.

Thu, December 22, 2011: Word Pops

Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Thu, December 22, 2011 is Word Pops!



Application Description:

Use bonus bubbles to earn extra points and surprises

Freeze the game to get in some extra moves

If you love a good word challenge, check out Word Pops. This game for your Android device combines Scrabble-style spelling with Tetris-esque movement, resulting in an addictive and fun play experience.

Bubble Up Some Fun

Your job is to spell words with your finger to stop bubbles from filling the screen. Just touch a letter bubble and slide your finger onto adjacent letters to form a word. As you spell words, new bubbles continually rise to the top of the board. Keep finding new words or you'll be overrun by bubbles and the game will end!

As you play, you'll encounter special bubbles that can help (and sometimes hinder) you. Go for bonuses that earn up to five times the normal amount. Watch for special bubbles like Freeze, Explosion, and Mutate--they'll give you a leg up at crucial moments, but they can mess you up, too.

Choose between scored and relaxed modes, depending on how intense you're feeling. Scored mode features Scrabble-style scoring, with more points awarded for less common letters, and increases the pace of the game as you go along. Relaxed mode simply lets you play--there's no scorekeeping and the speed remains constant throughout. You can adjust the speed in this mode, as well, in case you want to hone your chops.

The game's natural touch interface, which is remarkably smooth and graceful, makes it easy to play this game for hours. Challenge your friends to see who can get the highest score or create the most valuable word. Good luck!

Sit back and enjoy original dialogue, digitally remastered illustrations, animation, music, and narration by Peter Robbins, the original voice of Charlie Brown.

"Isn't there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?!"

Only Charlie Brown can turn the magic of Christmas into a problem.

It's all accompanied by a charming soundtrack featuring music and sound effects from the original show.

Reading is Wonder-Full

This version of A Charlie Brown Christmas is bursting with fun interactivities that will delight children and adults alike.

Little readers will love turning pages with the swipe of a finger. They can also watch text highlighting as they listen to the story narration, hear individual words spoken with a single tap, touch and drag objects to make them spring to life or tilt to watch them slide and move, and much more. With something to discover on every page, this is one interactive Peanuts adventure you won't want to miss this holiday season!

Application Description:

Read along with the highlighted words

Poor Rudolph! All the other reindeer make fun of his bright red nose and won't let him play in their reindeer games. But when Christmas is almost cancelled because of a huge snowstorm, Rudolph comes to Santa's rescue!

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, the classic Christmas story made famous in a 1964 TV special, is now available as an omBook for your Android device.

The app also includes special effects for Rudolph's glowing nose and falling snow.

This deluxe, interactive omBook from Oceanhouse Media is a pleasure for kids and grownups alike. It can also help build your child's reading skills in exciting and fun new ways.

Digital pages turn with a swipe and sound like a real book

Listen, Read, Laugh, and Learn

Choose one of three ways to enjoy the story: Read to Me, Read it Myself, or Auto Play. The Read to Me option allows your child to listen to the narrated story, highlighting the words as they are read. The Read it Myself option allows your child to read each page in the traditional form and turn each page with a swipe. Auto Play will play the story like a movie, automatically reading and turning the pages; this is the best option for very young children.

From page to page, your child can touch anywhere on the screen and learn a new word. Individual words are highlighted as the story is read, making it simple for children to follow along and recognize words. Touch the words or long-press any paragraph to have them repeated. To enhance learning by picture and word association, your child can touch any image on the screen and the word will pop up, identifying the object in bright, bold letters.

Touch any image on the screen and the word pops up

Delightful Details, Unexpected Fun

Unique background music and surprising audio elements add unexpected fun to the storytime experience. A jolly narrator tells the familiar holiday tale with gusto, and nicely-placed sound effects make each page full of sweet fun.

Audio clips from the original TV special mean that familiar voices--like those of Rudolph, Hermey, Yukon Cornelius, and many more--come to life in a new way.

Add art that enlarges to reveal delightful details (based closely on the the TV special's original stop-motion animation scenes), and this omBook is sure to make your little one giggle!

Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Wed, December 28, 2011 is MONOPOLY!



Application Description:

Legend has it that the modern version of the MONOPOLY board game was invented during the Depression by an unemployed man named Charles Darrow. Rebuffed by the major game companies of the time, he published it himself--and it went on to become perhaps the world's most popular board game.

Now, in the 21st century, you can play the same classic game of MONOPOLY on your Kindle Fire. And it's a ton of fun.

Amass Your Fortune

Single-Player Fun

One of the great things about playing the digital version of MONOPOLY is that you don't have to track down someone willing to take you on--you can match your business acumen against the computer any time you feel like it. Set the AI opponent at three levels of difficulty, so you'll always get a challenge (or if you prefer, an easy win). Of course, it's much more fun to switch to Pass 'N Play mode, just so you can see your rivals' faces when you crush them.

Smooth, Intuitive Interface

This is quite simply a great-looking, well-designed app. Just pick your favorite piece, shake your device to roll the dice, and you're off. Tap the screen to zoom in and examine the details of any space or property. Turn the board with a quick swipe. Your money and properties are automatically tracked for you. All you need to do is scheme your way to economic domination.

The Game You Know and Love

There are also many options regarding your money, how many houses you need to buy to create a MONOPOLY, theme music, and more. Just set up the type of game you like to play and get to it.

Are you ready to become a real-estate tycoon? Aiming to be the next Bill Gates or Warren Buffett? Show everyone your true financial genius with MONOPOLY for Android.

Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Wed, January 4, 2012 is All My Enemies!



Application Description:

Launch into space and get ready for this challenging shooter game featuring HD graphics and realistic sound effects. Inspired by classic arcarde-style games like Gradius, Ikaruga, and R-Type, All My Enemies takes you on a journey that's out of this world, spanning six different planets and a dozen levels. Are you ready to conquer the final frontier?

Fire at enemy spacecraft

Collect power-ups and dodge asteroids

Follow Commands

"My dear servant, I, your Emperor, have strict orders for you. You must finish all opposition to my power, you must destroy all my enemies." Your goal in All My Enemies is to embark on an action-adventure mission to defeat the enemies of your Emperor. Dodge asteroids and fire at enemy craft while gaining experience, collecting gold, and obtaining power-ups to unleash more extreme firepower.

Defeat Six Final Bosses

Use your skills to play through all 12 levels across six planets, while firing at wave after wave of enemy ships and advancing to take down six different final bosses. Climb your local leaderboard or take a stab at advancing through the ranks on the integrated Scoreloop leaderboards, which feature separate leaderboards for each of the three difficulty levels in All My Enemies.

Customize for Best Gameplay

All My Enemies offers a variety of ways to play to ensure you have a great gameplay experience. When starting a new game, players can select Modern times mode, which delivers continuous play, but takes away the weapons you've gained after conquering each planet. Otherwise, choose Old school mode, which will restart the level when you are killed; however, you get to maintain your weapons after each planet. Choose wisely!

Under game Options, you can adjust game controls and choose to play with Touch or Tilt Control, including a tilt calibration tool to match your device's capabilities. If HD graphics tend to slow down your device, you can adjust the quality to maintain performance. There is even support for players who have a Zeemote joystick game controller for mobile devices. As is typical, you can also turn the music and sound off.

Sat, January 7, 2012: Dead Runner

Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Sat, January 7, 2012 is Dead Runner!



Application Description:

Dead Runner

Choose from 3 game modes

Beat your high score and earn achievements

Your Worst Nightmare

Imagine waking up in a dark forest, surrounded by the sounds of the wailing souls trapped in the haunted trees. The howling wind is delivering a chilling message of evil, drawing closer by the second. The cold whispers of the forgotten souls tell you to run as far as you can, as fast as you can, before it's too late. You cannot hide or stop, for it can see you, find you, and take you.

Run to Save Yourself

Step into the dark and dreary world of Dead Runner. Your aim is to run as far and fast as you can without slamming yourself into a tree or a stone, but fast enough to avoid getting caught from behind. Navigate through the haunted forest, around the head stones and shadowy trees, by tilting your device to change direction. As you flee, you will encounter "tragic stones" throughout the forest, memorials to those who preceded you...and lost. When you are overtaken or hit an obstacle, you will receive a score for your efforts, and find it nearly impossible to not try again...and again...hoping to survive.

3 Bone-Chilling Game Modes

Where the game lacks in bells and whistles, it makes up for it with its supremely creepy sound effects and imagery. You can choose from three different game modes to immerse yourself in a nightmare at a frightening speed, including Distance, Chase, and Points mode.

Ghostly Ahievements

Earn dozens of chilling achievements for your heroic efforts, each categorized by game mode, such as Grave Digger, Close Call, Pedal to the Metal, and more. In the game's settings, you can adjust the sound volume and control the tilt sensitivity to suit your device.

Hopefully you're not afraid of the dark...
