[Unofficial] Get meh alarm from your android!
7Hi, all meh fans. In my country new deals of meh always comes out when I'm at work and nice things are always sold out when I'm home. So I thought there might be a better way than always opening a web browser secretly and checking new deals when my boss goes to a restroom..
SO I MADE THIS APP!!
Meh Alarm(Beta)
I would really appreciate it if you guys give this app a try and give me comments, suggestion, or bug report. I would appreciate more if you guys like it! Thanks in advance. Now let's meh on mobile!
p.s - As you can see, I have no designer. I drew everything with my apple magic mouse. You know what a crap it is when you need a normal mouse behavior, don't you? So please forgive me for my lousy design.

@pancake So first I am, and question I ask is first for me.... When I use the app, it says no connection is available? ?
OK, so I keep seeing the Korean in the forums, and I have always considered it a running joke, since Meh doesn't ship overseas. This link lands you on the KO version of Google play. Is there really a KO user base out there, possibly US soldiers that have it shipped to their US base, then it gets forwarded to them at the KO base?
Also, I too get the no network connection error. We'll see what happens tonight though. I personally like the hand drawn icons, I think they are fitting!
@TehMaliron there are a lot of Korean shoppers here, some info:

@Ignorant Wow, I never knew... guess that makes me the Ignorant one..
@TehMaliron You've never noticed the Korean support team badge members on the forums that help them out with their questions and such?
@TehMaliron I also ran into some site (hunting for where someone said consumer reports mentioned Meh as I wanted to know what they said) that tracks visits to sites and it says that the third biggest source of visits is India (USA being #1 and Korea #2)
@Kidsandliz Just to save anyone else the trouble, by now you've probably seen it yourself -- Consumer Reports says its surveyed readers rated something as "meh".
Just downloaded it, we'll see what happens tonight! I love your drawings!
I'll give it a try....
Oh god ... I made a huge mistake and it only run when WiFi connected!!! Sorry I has no USIM in my phones so I didn't noticed. I will fix this today so please would you guys wait until tomorrow midnight...?
Please don't delete it immediately and wait another day :(
@RicoSuave @TehMaliron @meow57
Just fixed the bug and released an update(1.0.2)!! Sorry for the inconvenience. Please update and give it another try :)
Good JOB!
It worked fine for me on wi-fi. I got a toast notification and was able to view the deal and click to go to the web site. Thanks!
@hallmike same for me! I only installed it on my tablet that I only use on wifi.
I will have to live vicariously through everyone's comments. My device isn't compatible.
@lizbeth374 What is your device??
@pancake Galaxy S2
@lizbeth374 And your android version is ICS(4.0) or Gingerbread(2.3)?? Maybe I'll try to support your device when I have time
@pancake it shows 2.3.6. thanks!
@lizbeth374 Finally it supports gingerbread!! I don't have any gingerbread device so I couldn't test much. Please let me know if you have any issues!!
@pancake got it! thanks! :)
Seems relevant to paste this in here.
It's awesome that people want to create stuff related to all this crap we put together each day, but in the interest of not confusing our members:
Some rules for people who want to do Meh-related stuff, which are all pretty much summarized as -
IT NEEDS TO BE VERY CLEAR IT'S UNOFFICIAL.
Please don't just call it "Meh", but go with something like Meh Watchers [Thing], or Unofficial Meh [Thing].
No using Meh graphics (no logo, no Irk, no Meh faces).
Prominent, clear statement that it's unofficial. Something like: "This is unofficial, created by fans of Meh for the Meh community."
If you make something that's awesome and catches on and gets popular, we might end up just copying you and making an official version. We can be jerks like that.
This works for things like videos, mobile & desktop apps, chat rooms, web sites. It's cool for people to make stuff like that for our community, but it's lame if people get confused or concerned about it.
@dave Thanks. I marked it as unofficial in the play store and the app, but somehow I didn't in this post! Well I did made it clear in my app, so I think you SHOULD download it and see if i'm lying :)
sounds like a great idea! does it work with my nerd watch?
@marklog I guess it won't, since I haven't done anything about it to make it work. Actually, I've never seen any of those around so I haven't even thought about it!! I will try to support those when I have time. Thanks!
