I know there’s a thread for Play Music, but there isn’t one for apps.
Apps available for $0.01
Lost Journey
Armpit Hero
Lost Journey was interesting when I tried it earlier this year.
Didn’t try Armpit Hero (and I won’t even buy it), but there are a lot of IAPs.
Lost Journey is amazing!
@luvche21
On July 21st, I got it for $0.10. Amazing game.
Bit random, but did you ever play Monument Valley? The original one, not any of the imitations.
@luvche21 How bad are the ads? I was looking at a few of the reviews and people seemed, justifiably, a little irritated that there were ads in the paid version. If they aren’t too bad, I may grab the game. Google gave me another $.19 today.
@Mehsturbator Eh. Decided to pick it up regardless as A) I think the price might be a mistake and 2) it puts my balance at a nice $20.50 so, really, the game is already worth every penny.
@Mehsturbator
It’s people like you who make me disappointed that I don’t get surveys from Opinion Rewards.
@PlacidPenguin you know what… I have to admit I was thinking of Monument Valley when I saw the words Lost Journey… Oops! Yes, Monument Valley is amazing!
@luvche21
There are only a handful of games which have left me thoroughly enjoying the experience of playing them.
Monument Valley is one of them.
@PlacidPenguin I get tons of surveys. I think I get more because I have my location services turned on. It then knows where I’ve been and asks me questions about those locations.
@cengland0
As do I, but I don’t get questions.
Either because I’m either on the flagged list, or because I don’t go places.
@cengland0 whoa, that’s quite the total you have there! I use mine way to quickly to ever get above $10…
@cengland0 @placidpenguin I found that it really depends on where you live. When I first got the app in atlanta I was being asked questions every 20 minutes and gained $20 or so in that week. Once I went home to Idaho I get maybe a survey or two a week. That includes driving 500-1000 miles a week to different cities and work sites.
@Kirgen
NY.
35 miles from NYC.
@cengland0 I had no idea this was a thing. I’m currently waiting to be approved. I hope I get it!
@luvche21
Monument Valley is on sale for $0.99
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@PlacidPenguin I already own it _/¯(ツ)¯_
@luvche21
Way to dismember Mr Shrugs.
@PlacidPenguin That’s what you get for using mobile - he looks not-quite-so-dismembered on my screen ¯(ツ)_
I can’t get the Play Store to show me the price on games I have installed, but I recently got some top shelf board games on sale for $2-3. I don’t know if they are still on sale, but they include Castles of Mad King Ludwig, Paperback, Ticket to Ride, Pandemic and Alhambra (Alhambra’s got some app problems, but it’s a great game.)

Account > Order History.
You can check how much you paid.
@PlacidPenguin Thanks, but it doesn’t tell me if they are still on sale, which is what I was trying to find out.
@moondrake
True, but if you tell me how much you paid for each of them…
@PlacidPenguin Pandemic $1.99, Alhambra $2.99, Paperback $3.99, Castles of Mad King Ludwig $2.99, all purchased on 12/8. I already had Ticket to Ride and others that may be on sale. Of the ones I bought on the 8th, I recommend Paperback for casual play and Castles for more serious play. Pandemic feels claustrophobic to me, there’s a lot going on in that game and I have trouble perceiving all of it in the app format. Alhambra’s a great board game but I am having a lot of glitches with the app and the 3D tiles make it hard for me to see what’s going on, I wish they’d used graphics more like the ones in Carcassone.
@moondrake
All the prices are currently the same.
The Room 3 - $0.99
Monument Valley - $0.99
Picked up Monument Valley because I still had like $8 of credit. What a game! I’ve heard good things about it but I’m really, really enjoying it. Thanks for pointing out the sale!
If you enjoy Monument Valley, give Maestria a try. It’s free, I’m pretty sure.
@Mehsturbator
Got Monument Valley through the Amazon app store 2 years ago as a FAOTD. I’m done using their app store, so I’ve been contacting some devs asking if I could get promo codes for the Play Store versions.
Gonna email the dev of Monument Valley. If he gives me a code: great. If not: I’ll probably gladly buy it.
@Mehsturbator
No Play Games integration
Still downloading it though. Will try eventually.
