Default What apps have you bought?

I plunked down $2.99 for word whirl. I played the homebrew version tons, and it's well worth the money to me.

How about you, what app(s) have you bought and why?

I was thinking of buying weatherbug, because the adds in accuweather annoy me. What don't you like about it? Everything besides the adds in accuweather i love. Hour by hour breakdown, radar, 5 day over view.

None so far. But I plan to buy Tweed when it becomes payware because I use that all the time. I may buy Word Whirl for my wife because she loves it. I like the package tracker app as well but I guess I don't receive enough packages to actually need it.

Other than that there isn't really much yet that I feel obliged to purchase. (no offense to the app developers!)

The radar hasn't worked most of the day. When it had worked it was a regional view. I couldn't seem to zoom in while it was animated. The video forecasts are pretty generic national outlook. The 7-day overview is nice, but you have to scroll because the information is too spread out. Tapping on days gives a good "blurb" about the outlook.

It's okay, but it is very basic. I'm mostly annoyed at the radar being unreliable.

I got Word Whirl, Block Breaker, and Checkers. I've been playing them for free for months thought it would be a nice thing to support the developers on launch day.

How is who wants to be a millionaire, to the poster who said he bought it?

Even though my golfing season is coming to a close, I had to pull the trigger on GolfPinFinder. Moserjj has done such a good job with fixes and adding features, the hard work needs to be rewarded.

Checkers Pro, that's it. Though I'll buy Tweed 1.0 in a heartbeat when it appears.

If there is a beta version of this on your Pre, you need to delete the beta before you buy the full version. The error message is a patch to keep the free upgrades from happening that we had last night.

from the App Catalog.

It told me.

Oh. And it knows you're crazy.

Yes that is true. I tested it with my phone and it will not allow me to download it either.

What is happing is the App Id is the same as the app id on your phone and Palm is blocking that since you did not get it from the app catalog.

Thank you for beta testing my app and I hope you can get it working if not PM and I will see what I can do to help you get it loaded.

Word Whirl was the first app i bought. Since I (and my family) have loved playing it since it hit homebrew, i wanted to see it get a good opening day bump. And I'll buy Dr. Podder also as soon as it hits, as it has made a huge improvement in my commute. A fully completed (and not jerky) Topple Ball will be worth buying also.

Millionaire is a good game. It definitely looks the most like a professional paid app. It is just like the game on tv. Same music, questions are challenging.
You can phone a friend and use all the lifelines like the show. There is a couple of life lines that are different. One stops the clock, and one is a "ask an expert." The ask an expert just has some random person answer the question with a percentage. Like saying what they think is the answer and saying what percent they are sure they are correct.
When you click phone a friend it pretty much does the same thing. You don't actually call anyone. It just gives a random answer with the percentage that they are sure. Like if they think the answer is say, California, they will say "California 80% sure."
I like that it shows the screen with the ladder that you move up and it gives you what the topic is going to be.
It also keeps track of all the "money" that you have won over the course of playing the game.. Over the course of 6 games that I have played, I have won a little over $500,000

Sounds like a fun game, especially for a trivia buff like myself. Can you use webOS' multitasking to card millionaire then go google the answer?
