Hello everyone on this forum,
I have been working on continued development of my app MJ's Strain Guide which can be found from this Thread. I have taken the idea that was being developed on WM6.5 and brought it to WP7 after seeing no one has made an app for us medical patients. I have programed so far over 340 different strains ranging from Sativa, Indica, and Hybrid. This app tries to focus on the patient as a grower and a smoker to help a patient locate a strain that will best address their symptoms with the proper properties. This app does not promote nor condone smoking illegally and/or commercial growing. This app is an educational tool for the patient who is seeking more knowledge on what they are putting into their body and what relief will come.
Here is a preview of the app running:
Updated Video!!!!
This video is of the premium version but on the free version there are ads displayed at the bottom. They both contain the same amount of strains.
MJ's Strain Guide Free:
Deep Link to MJ's Strain Guide Free.
***history***
Version 1.7 - Added a new item into the app. The new item is called Cannabis THC Info. This section gives information on what THC is and an explanation of why I wont include THC levels as there is now way to accurately determine an amount of THC in a strain as it is mainly related to the growers skill level itself.
Version 1.6 - added several more strains. this is a mini update but the app is now available to every WP7 Marketplace around the world!
App Version: 1.5.0.5 - initial release
The app is released in many different WP7 markets!
I hope you all enjoy!!!
now thats a fine app!!! when are u planing to release it and is it going to be on the marketplace?
Thank you. I have already updated it to be mango ready as well as added more as in interaction. Instead of a visual showing a selection now there is hepatic feedback. I also fix a few typos as well as made the main page a pivot control so it's not cluttered with links on the bottom. The new pivot page is an about page which contains the links now for strain suggestion. Tomorrow will be day five of submission. Its so close to passing once its approved I will push this update. It should pass as I ran it though the market submission tool and it passed everything as far as I know. Full boot time was 3 - 3.3 seconds. In the current release I am currently waiting for publishing has set up in the @Support link a pre setup email template the makes it easy for me to know what u want to see. I might make the template more complex. I will add a support email link as well in the new version.
Edit: super tired have some typos in this post. I will post the link asap once it is approved.
Edit 2: i have attached some screenshots of the updated version. I really want to get this update out as it has much more in it compared to the the one currently. i have not added any more info just functionality and made things look a little nicer.
Is it going to a paid app or a free one?
Its a free app. Here is a paid version but there is nothing different between the apps. They are exact clones of each other just the free one has a ad bar at the bottom but it not really distracting from the app plus there no way of accidentally hitting one. I have spent several hundred hours building this app but have learned a lot in the process but broke as hell so i have ads, sorry. I will also give the same feedback response time for both as in feedback or suggestions. I will be at times a few days slower to update the free one depending on my time restraints. I am also currently in the process of making a MJ cookbook app as well. I'm just getting my recipes organized. It will go through how to make butter and other cooking ingredients which requires marijuana. This will be good for those who don't smoke or can't. I am also working with a diabetics person to design some recipes for those patients. Must have love for everyone.
Update:
I am still waiting on Microsoft to accept my app. its been 9 days now. I have in that time done more work on the app and have added more strains to the list as well as change the home screen UI a little bit. i also improved speed on the app as well as improved the animation on the home page. The emails you would send on suggestions or support has been updated to a @cannapps.com email address instead of the current email. this will allow me to be quicker on contact. I am ready to push this update ASAP so once i get word i will push it through. Im hoping to hear from them tomorrow
Well after a month of waiting and fixing one minor thing just related to theme (as in white theme, black theme) The app has been approved. It is now live in the marketplace. Check the first post for the link
Just wanted to post an update for everyone. I am planning on updating the app with new strain and some new features in the next two weeks after my move is complete. Also a cookbook app is in the works as well.

italy was not on my initial release of regions. i will add it soon...
update: i thought it would be simple but with ms it is not. i will add it to the next update so it can be found on your marketplace.
i'll stay tuned ;D
just an update. i should have it up for submission by the beginning of the week as i am now finally moved. I am now adding more strains for this update. I will try to hit every marketplace this time around if allowed.
Looking forward to itAny idea in the cookbook?
Sent from my LG-C900B using Board Express
I have already started the initial work on the cookbook. It will take me a couple of weeks to complete.

Just a quick update... I have submitted a mini update to the app that adds a couple more strains to the list that I was able to confirm more stats on. Takes a while on each strain as I strive for accuracy. This update also should be available globally upon Microsoft approval. The next update should have a search feature as I am learning how to implement it and maybe a save image feature.
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
update is now live. if you cannot find it yet give it a day as sometimes Microsoft is slow to update there marketplace but full approval went through for the update. This will now allow the app on all markets. updated first post.
I am planning another update soon which will add more strains as well as the ability to take notes on a strain your growing within the strain details page. That will come once MJ's CookBook is complete which its looking good so far. More updates soon

Thank you for your feedback. I do encourage feedback and suggestions. Please leave suggestions of features you would like in this app and i will try to implement them if they go good with this app and please keep in mind i am going to make several other app related to this subject matter. for growers i will create a growing guide down the road.
New update has been submitted to the Marketplace. It should be available in the next few days. Version 1.7.0.0
Hey folks,
I recently launched a news reader for The Verge. There isn't much branding but I spent some effort on making it look like a native app and optimization. Give it a try and give me some feedbacks! This is my first app so I would really like to know how I can improve it in the update.

Or just search "le verge" on the marketplace.
Let me know what you guys think!
A very nice app for starting specially because its fast and follows the metro design. There are two suggestion from my side :
1. Option to make text bigger or smaller.
2. Caching of posts for offline reading.
I have done video review to share with my readers you can check here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQwgxA-MsB8
Wow, very nice! It's fast and looks great.
Just a few minor thoughts:
1) Agree with wpxbox about adding a font size setting
2) I'd buy it! Would love to see a paid version without ads offered
Nice app, thanks for posting it in the market!
"You sir is a genius!" (read with a quest-like voice from a knight lol)
Thanks very much for this app! Now I can get rid of the mobile web version of their awesome site. Joshua should tweet this and post on their Featured page so it gets the attention it deserves
We have developed an app in Chinese. But faced with the fact that, firstly, China has no Google Play, and, secondly, the promotion of the apps is rather complicated. Maybe someone has experience of entering Chinese market:
1) On which Android app stores do we need to publish our app?
2) Are there any app review sites in China?
3) How to promote apps through Chinese social networks?
4) Are there any companies that offer app promotion on Chinese app market as a service?
5) Does it make sense to enter Chinese market at all?

if you plan distribute mobile games, it is OK for you to find a local partner for localization and distribution.
if utilities, pls abandon

1. it'd be better to ask Chinese partners experienced in promoting apps in China market. For the first stage 1mobile.com might be considered
2. most probably, just language barrier persists for most of us
3. no idea yet
4. yes, we have started negotiations with a company, but it is in development stage
5. IMHO, Yes

Hi
Right now, in-app purchase is ok for our platform, But paid app still have trouble, the biggest problem is Android users in China really not used to paid first, Only iPhone users in China bought paid app, people using Android in China usually have lower income, one of reason they bought Android is using free app, even great game like Monument in China is free, But people got other way making money in China

If you think it has 5 apps in one and if you think you will have a feature just like a Garmin Fenix Watch, i think it's worth it On the other hand When we first get our hands on watches there is no app around and we felt horrible. Back in those days if i knew there is an app which will gain lot's of features just by paying 1.99USD while thinking a garmin fenix watch is around 500USD it is affordable :good:
Its nice and all but i'm afraid at 2$ only people who REALLY NEED IT will buy it - and those people won't own smartwatches most likely
For most of the public it's just not appealing. Id'e buy at 0.5$ just for the heck of it.
congrats!
if you reduce it to 1.5, i will buy it for sure.

Smart watches are in a state that currently no developer taking it serious, we are!. As we all know making a product cool and grow gets through apps, to do that you need to support developers so that they keep developing great apps.
Can you believe that there is no barometer app for LG G Watch R unless we develop one? I think this is not a random paid app, this is the only barometer app for lg g watch r on the store i think it needs some exclusiveness. Barometer is one of the reasons i bought this watch.
Yes this is a paid app, how can we keep developing unless we can't earn. How you will know about apps if there is no dedicated app store for smart watches? This kinda forums are only way! Even if the mods see this or not, i think they will want to support us.

Hi, Since Android Wear OS is new, there is more bugs than usual, what you have experienced is happens me all the time when installing apps.
What i try to get app on wear is, disconnecting and reconnecting the watch to phone, make sure that they are communicating, afterwards i go to android wear app, settings and at the down below there is "Sync apps", i click that and keep my finger crossed
If that's not helping, i try deleting and installing app again

It's a great watch, use it with joy. Thank you for your feedback, , Cheers :highfive:
Showing as £1.62 in the uk. Looks like a nice app but I think you have put it at the wrong price point. 50p is a "casual buy" and will get you loads more sales (and therefore more money) than £1.62. Its only showing as 100 downloads so you really want to get volume sales to get it showing as more popular.
Just my thoughts.
We Will Update
We will preparing for an update for our app ToolX, what would you like to see at the new update?
I've recently translated my both games into Arabic and I wonder now how could I promote them on this market. Can anyone point me to some technology blogs, app review sites etc.?

Hi!
I can not find apps on GP k560 Apps.
Much depends on the subject matter of your applications and games. For example, I had a popular game about fairies (as winx) and Russia : D
Just due oganic search .
It's toooooo late reply, but perhaps it can be useful for somebody
My experience with the app services. In my opinion, App Reviews is one of the best. They have different packages based on the bonuses... I bought their services severeal times and it was: organic installs, in-time sevice without delay and really high-quality reviews...:good:
i suggest you to do ASO (App Store Optimization) for you game. this strategy will give you a better result. At other hand you can find some bogs sites or app site reviews from google. thanks
