Last year we enjoy 10 cents per apps... new sales coming next 5 days @ 25 cent per apps




Google Play hits 25 billion downloads

September 26, 2012
Whether you’re looking for directions, checking email or sharing a picture with friends, apps are now an indispensable part of life. And if you’re using Android, it all starts with Google Play, home to 675,000 apps and games. That’s a lot of choice. We’ve now crossed 25 billion downloads from Google Play, and to celebrate we’re offering some great discounts for the next five days.



Every day you’ll be able to choose from a collection of apps from some of the world’s top developers including Gameloft, Electronic Arts, Rovio, runtastic, Full Fat and more. And all for just 25 cents. We’ll also be offering some special collections like 25 movies you must own, 25 banned books, 25 albums that changed the world and our 25 top selling magazines, all at special prices. Visit Google Play a little later today to check them out.

Twenty-five billion is more than twice the distance, in miles, that the Voyager 1 spacecraft has travelled since its launch 35 years ago. It’s the amount of time, in minutes, that have passed since some of our earliest ancestors began to set foot in Europe. And now, thanks to all of you, it’s a Google Play milestone. We look forward to the next 25 billion.

Purchased OfficeSuite Pro 6+ and Asphalt 7: Heat

Keep em' coming, Google.

I think if all offer is for game, is quite temptation

didnt buy these because:
Clouds & Sheep Premium ->in app purchasing still active
Let's Create! Pottery ->i think i already have it.lol (free from amazon appstore)
Symphony of Eternity ->cant seem to find it; probably region locked
Granny Smith -> in app purchasing active
Asphalt 7: Heat ->in app purchasing active
Draw something -> craze over, i think+my drawing sucks
NFL Kicker 13->in app purchasing
OfficeSuitePro 6+->got it already
London bus checker->reviews say it crashes alot.

i dont see why we have to be subjected to in app purchasing since we've already bought the damn app. even if it's just minor things, i still find it to be a FREE app "feature"

what do you means in app purchasing active

for some reason or another, you'd have to pay within the app to advance.
i read some reviews before buying the games, and they all say once you reach a certain point in the game, it'll be hard to progress unless you buy boosters of some kind.

oic, normally until that stage,i almost delete game liao~~ phone game actually bit easy get bored

have tried market enabler?

i try use a vpn to access, but it is still say incompatible for now, only purchased the office suite pro 6.

Awesome, thanks for sharing this. Time to spend!

If only Play Store supports Paypal though.

if only i can use my celcom prepaid to buy apps~

For Samsung users: Asphalt 7: Heat is available for free in Samsung Apps. I downloaded it for free there

Added on September 27, 2012, 7:36 amsorry, on the website, it becomes 0.25usd at the final paying page instead of sgd.

This post has been edited by nghj: Sep 27 2012, 07:36 AM

symphony... had it free... amazon. but after amazon started to implement some blocks, din bother to try to re-download.

checked the game from my phone and its not found. so, ya... i guess its region locked.

thanks bro

Added on September 27, 2012, 8:50 amusd, means rm0.70 per apps

This post has been edited by aaronsuarez95: Sep 27 2012, 08:50 AM

yea offer was gone

last time reach 10bilion download got 10cent offer
now 25billion downloads got 25cent offer
later 50billion downloads will it be 50cent?
more download = cost more? lol

yes I do agree.

these days... paid apps are no better...

take for example flick golf which was offered last time at 0.10cents. loaded with so many ads... so annoying.

anyway, today's offering... so-so only. wanted the RPG by Kempco and the Open Office. RPG is region locked. will see if i still wanna buy first and then figure out how to install it.

Gameloft -- under personal ban. dun like games that ask for permission to start up during boot. imagine you have 5 such games... boot up takes longer...

wondering what nice games EA will have.

on my wish list -- Final Fantasy. but i know its near impossible la... that game is selling usd15. no way slashed to usd0.25.

other than that... dun really think anything else will entice me... but see la...

and honestly, i think some of the games/ apps will be the ones from previous offers -- probably keyboards and also that paper camera apps.

Anyone has the list for Music, Movies & Books on 25 cents? if its worth it, might go home try and use VPN to buy em...

apps to come next on offer might be paper camera and where is my perry.
see the banner in the balloons

wow... nice!! Just saw this in LYN main page. Got to support the Devs.

Bought:
Asphalt 7: Heat
Granny Smith
OfficeSuite Pro 6+
Sudoku
Tasks
runtastic PRO

Hopefully this round they will give offer on more useful apps like Office and Tasks.

The Asphalt 7 is a whopping 1.37GB download.

ya, i know... that's why i mentioned the paper camera... saw it in the balloon.

what's the app with the finger on the top?

i think polaris office is nicer but it is not compatible with Jelly bean

Not really interested with apps as I decided that I have enough. How about books?

someone asked for other 25s?!?

Sorry, seems the screen only fits 24... so 25th one is text.

Music...

Album 25 = A Love Supreme by JOHN COLTRANE

Books...

Modern Classics 25 = God's Little Acre by ERSKINE CALDWELL

Magazines...

Top Selling Issue 25 = Mac|Life (OCT 2012) Apple Mac?!? heh heh...

Movies

Limited Time Offer 25 = American Reunion

found it: flick nations rugby

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...icknationsrugby

american sport...so uninteresting.

Maybank called me to verify transactions.

He also asked how come so many people spent 77 cents at Google, is it got promotion

Hey Thanks man!!

so it mean MB is not sleeping..

Anyway, here's what I got this round

Angry Birds Space
Cat in the Hat (for my son)
OfficeSuite

Bought these to get ready for my pre-ordered Nexus 7

i know it's cheap but is officesuit worth buying?
i just install kingsoft office.

nope.. since polaris was free & was able to use it..

The apps sales change daily?

If I use VPN to access the books,magazines & movies, will I be able to buy it with local credit/debit card? All I know is Nexus 7 users with the USD25 credit could use the credit to purchase. Unsure whether cc could be use

based on the previous USD0.10 10billion apps download celebration - YES!!!

i believe yes... if you can access the movies, etc... then you should be able to buy from local CC.

but not sure about offline viewing, etc... never really bothered with books, mags and movies. most can get from diff sources anyway...

aite. will purchase 2nite when bac home.

last year sale i bought adw launcher ex for 0.10usd.
then the launcher app stopped updating, rather disappointing.
i changed launcher since.

just remember the different timezones... so, not necessary the 'today' means till midnight tonight, ya?

u cant use Polaris on android 4.1.1 Jelly bean

Will try it once theres an interesting book on sale.


Granny Smith is awesome Y'all!

Just purchased office suite and London bus checker using hong leong bank MasterCard debit card.
How come I was charged usd79 per app ? ( according to the SMS notification from hong Leong bank)

they misplaced the decimal point?

79 sen malaysia maybe?

bought alphat 7 racing..usd 0.25..not even rm1. lol

Basket, I bought the office suite at full price USD16 with my USD25 free credit from Nexus 7. >.<

wah now usd 0.25 only

nvm la... still considered 'free' usd25.

but with the USD25 credit, can sapu 100 of 25cents apps now.

actually... this gives me hope that perhaps Square Enix's Final Fantasy might be offered. it's definitely less than usd16.

Sorry, I re-check my SMS again, it was USD0.79
I was very sure before clicking accept and buy, it was clearly stated USD0.25 in google play.
I logined to my hong Leong account to verify but unfortunately the transaction was not updated yet.

No please no I just bought it at full price.

Hopefully they sell FF at a cheaper price. nvm 25 cents, I would even get it at USD 2.50

yea... +1

but since can offer usd16 at usd0.25... i'm going to be greedy and just hope for usd0.25 for FF...

i seriously, seriously hope so... sorry la jonjon... hahahaha...

wow.... android rules the world..

Aite, thxs for the reminder

more office apps to be on discount plz!!!!!

I wan n7player and powerAMP 0.25 cent!!!!

how did u claim the 25USD credit? thanks

=( Will wait for other good expensive apps to go 25 cents tomorrow. Anyone tried getting movies/books/mags/music?

office suite is always worth buying. They cost a lot.

ocean HD looks nice. not sure whether to buy it or not. my S3 feels choppy with Paperland livewallpaper on. dunno whether this will cause that too

first time buying how many eh Maybank charges us? i remembered someone said got some extra payment to the bank for first purchase using debit card.

1. worth coz it's on sale. normal price is $14.99

2. not worth coz polaris is better and free.

i bought it though. coz it's on sale. good second option after polaris. i dont like kingsoft.

Bought Ocean HD. so far so good

Cat in the Hat is ..(originated)..a book

Hi, how can I access to google play store for movies and books? Any ways of doing it? Which VPN to recommend?

Yeah, will get my Office Suite for SGD 0.25 later.
I'm still waiting for GNote2 to release in Malaysia, so meanwhile just buy and keep.

you can probably try the method used by Nexus 7 owners to claim their free usd25. just check Pg1 of the Nexus 7 thread.

Added on September 27, 2012, 2:40 pmok, silly Q...

angry bird space premium? how diff is it from normal angry bird space? i also noticed there's angry bird HD. then what about the version that came with Galaxy Note?

This post has been edited by mydragoon: Sep 27 2012, 02:40 PM

Yay, bought the Office Suite Pro and Angry Birds Space Premium!
Thanks for spreading out the word guys...

Fisrt you need to install google play music and google play books. You can try using market access and emulate US sim. Dunno will work or not.

after reading some apps tracking you, I'd install these apps:-

http://lifehacker.com/5864518/is-my-phone-...n-i-do-about-it

Eset Mobile Security

Permission dog

Lookout security & Antivirus.

Just curious, how much does each app costs for you guys? Mine is RM0.79 after transaction.
