At Froogloid we love publicity! With all the great android phones being released lately; HERO, ERIS, DROID, CLIQ, MOMENT, etc…, many of the top technology sites have been taking notice of the great apps available via the android platform. Well, I’m pleased to say that PCworld has rated Key Ring as a top 10 app for android users! More »
I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email from T-Mobile USA this morning letting Froogloid know that they have recommended our Key Ring Reward Cards app to all android G1 users. Sweet huh? We’ve been working with T-Mobile team for quite some time and have been anxiously waiting to find out what they had planned re: Key Ring marketing. We very excited about More »
Hey everyone, I’ve received several emails asking why our apps can’t be found on the new Motorola DROID. In short, we prepped ours apps for the 2.0 release earlier this week using the android emulator (phone simulator in development environment), we compiled and released all of our apps for 2.o. However, when I visited a Verizon Wireless store yesterday I was unpleasantly surprised to find several bugs in each of our apps on 2.0/DROID that were not found while testing using a virtual device. So, instead of leaving inferior products on the market we decided to pull them off until they could be fixed. The good news is More »
CowPotato fans, we haven’t forgot about you! It’s been a little over 2 months since we released the beta of CowPotato for the android developer challenge….which btw we still have no idea what the results are! By this time we had hoped to have delivered multiple game-play enhancements. However, the sad truth is we’ve been catching our breath (pretty much ran the gauntlet trying to get CP finished in time for the contest) and the updates we released have all dealt with performance issues in the background. Building a 3D game is by no means a simple task and performance is a huge concern. For example, we had hoped to have added flying cows, grazing cows and various other animations in the game-play by now which we could have done, BUT it would have exponentially increased the game loading time which we’re trying to avoid at all costs. We have a plan to help minimize impact to the loading time and we’re actively working on game-play enhancements. However, to continue making progress WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK!!!! More »
When I was in the Army, we dealt with fragmentation all the time. “watch out out for ballistic fragmentation…” “make sure to wear your fragmentation vest at all times down range…” etc…. But now, I get the pleasure of battling an entirely new fragmentation! Android fragmentation! More »
Has it only been one year? Pretty sure team Froogloid has aged about 10! haha! It’s been a crazy ride the past 12 months. Here a few of my most memorable moments. More »
I just took a look at an application in the android marketplace called “androidstats” (http://androidstats.com/). It basically keeps track of whats hot and what’s not… in terms of apps in the market. I was pleasantly surprised to see More »
As many of you are aware, we’ve been working on a new android game CowPotato™. After 3 hard months of design and build we finally have a version ready for the android developer challenge! As soon as ADC 2 kicks-off, hopefully any day now, you’ll be able to judge the app for yourself. Please keep in mind that ADC terms and conditions do not allow any updates to be made to application during the judging process. We find this frustrating considering we plan on making MANY updates to the game-play etc. In my opinion, how developers support their applications should absolutely be one of the merits applications/games are judged against. So, as part of our commitment to offer outstanding support for CowPotato, we will continue to have a “beta” version available in the android marketplace. We’ll use this version to showcase the latest updates etc. We greatly appreciate user feedback so keep it coming! I can assure you you’re requests will not fall on deaf ears! Please send feedback to: info@froogloid.com
