We recently published Shopper's Paradise on behalf of Second Gear Games. It's getting some great feedback. According to Cyrket, The demo is rated 4.29 stars and the full version is rated 4.45. You can figure out the basic idea in about 30 seconds. Place stores on prime spots in the mall and watch shoppers drop off their cash for your goods. A competitor will fighting you for locations and customers. Here's what Android users are saying: "It's like Lemonade Stand crossed with Tower Defense. I'm hooked." - Tyson "Works great on Droid. Very addicting! Well worth the money." - Chuck "ADDICTIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!" - Lena Search "Shopper's Paradise" in the Android Market for a free demo and the full version (in countries where priced apps are available). If you're viewing this page from your Android phone, get Shopper's Paradise now.

Zillow's out, Cyberhomes is in |

Zillow contacted me recently asking me to stop using Zillow data in Real Estate Droid. It's their data, so I can't really refuse. Fortunately, Cyberhomes now shares their home valuation data with third party developers, so I've switched over to using their stuff instead - it's very similar information. I can't force you to upgrade, which means you can keep using Zillow by skipping all future updates, but I wouldn't recommend it. You'd miss out on all future upgrades, and Zillow could pull the plug on my data feed at any time without warning. The latest version also offers some enhancements. You'll notice that you can now search your last known location. I say last known location, rather than current location, because under some situations, Android phones have a tough time locking onto a location, so it uses the best info it has. I'm looking into another location provider to see if I can make that work a little better. I also cleaned up the live neighborhood info stuff a little bit. It's still kind of finicky, and I apologize for that, but it should work a little better now. Again, the new location provider might help out with that a little bit. Thanks to everyone who is leaving suggestions in their Market comments. Thanks also to the bug reporters. Again, if you're reporting a bug, PLEASE email me so I can get some specifics from you. I'm much more likely to be able to track down the problem that way.

Real Estate Droid And Your Privacy |

In the interest of full disclosure, I want to let you know that I integrated analytics software into this latest version as well. First, know that RED never collects personally identifiable information - I have no knowledge of your name, phone number, email address, etc. It never collects your location other than to report what country you're in. What it does collect is how many people are using RED, what screens are visited most, how long/how people use RED, and what devices they use most. This jives with the privacy policy tucked into the app - currently it's hidden off in random corners of the app (like a link at the bottom of the Neighborhood Info screen), and I apologize for that. In the next release, I'll try to do something to make it more clear. I'm not saying this because anyone complained, just because I don't want to hide anything about what's going on. I collect this information so I know what parts of the app are getting the most use - I'll tend to give more focus to improving the most-used parts, and to tell if something is wrong (if no one ever gets to a certain screen, I've probably messed up). I may someday share aggregate information, like number of users per month, with a third party, but I'll never ever share information about a single user. If you have questions about this, feel free to email me. Note that Beat The Joker Slots and Zombie Jackpot Madness do not currently have analytics software installed, though I do get some information on how often those games are used by seeing how many ads are served per day. Again, I never collect personally identifiable information within those apps, and I would never share it either, but I may someday add analytics software to those as well, in a similar way to what goes on in Real Estate Droid.

Real Estate Droid 2.0.5 |

I just released another update to Real Estate Droid. Here are the highlights:
New features
-When you save a property, its web address, its description, and any photos are also saved
-Zillow info is now known in a native android window instead of a web page. Load times should be faster and the page is perhaps a bit more attractive as well.
-Property size included in the property search results and details page (some are interior square feet, others are lot acreage - I just post what the listing tells me)
Bug fixes
-Pictures on the property search results are now shown correctly, rather than sometimes showing a picture from a different listing (oops) (as mentioned by Aleks)
-Not all homes are listed as CONDO any more. The value provided by the lister is shown. (Thanks Monduj1)
Next up, I think I'll re-do the Neighborhood Info stuff. It's not quite delivering a good enough experience yet. I hope to switch it to a native window instead of a web view, and make updates more responsive.
PLEASE email if you find any bugs. If you're not getting good search results, have your real estate agent contact me to have listings added in your area.
