G+_D Nguy?n Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 While I like Crossy Road, I just can't vote for it without it actually being in the Play Store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_HeCareth M. Wosu Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 As soon as JR Raphael? said Action Launcher was his app. I was like its a wrap. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Andrew Matteson Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Wow, usually my guesses are pretty much in line with others. Action launcher must be better than I thought. I would have said DeviantArt > Crossy Road > Action Launcher > Quick. I was way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Josh Frye Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I just don't see using another launcher that you have to download and take up your app storage space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Kingof “kingof9x” 9x Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I wanted to vote for the guest's app just to keep the sudden death situation alive, but I am mad about how the developer is charging me full price to update from action launcher 2 to v.3. I would have been happy to pay $2 or $3 for an upgrade, but I can't bring myself to give him another $5 when I recently bought version 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Josh Frye Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Callum Davenport-Lambton That is why I always like the "upgrade now" emails from software vendors. Even if they are a bit spamy at times, at least they are not trying to charge you full price to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Grant Brown Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Josh Frye Action Launcher 3 is like 8 megs, then some cache. My cache is under 3mb. At best that's equivalent to 2-3 mp3 songs. The efficiency I get from AL3 makes it well worth the tiny space usage. Also, Chris Lacy is a great developer who listens to his users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Josh Frye Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Grant Gelinas-Brown Ahh, didn't know it was that tiny. I always figured that it would be larger do to how much of the interface it changes. Still not my cup of tea though, not the program, but the launchers category itself.

G+_Jared Gauthier Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Callum Davenport-Lambton He has very good reasons for charging full price. It's not an upgrade. It's a complete rewrite from the ground up. Plus full PC programs charge for upgrades all the time. Why should phone apps be any different? If you don't want to pay, don't. Action Launcher 2 is still the same app you paid for. Works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Kingof “kingof9x” 9x Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Jared Gauthier As you said "Full PC programs charge for upgrades", but they don't ask you to pay full price a second time. I just want upgrade pricing. I would be happy to pay $3 or $4 for an upgrade. "Why should phone apps be any different? " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jared Gauthier Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Callum Davenport-Lambton But it isn't an upgrade. They're completely different apps down to the code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mic Cullen Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Callum Davenport-Lambton Because they're ridiculously cheap to start with, and because Google doesn't offer any way to offer upgrade pricing in the Play Store? Seriously, the complaint: "I won't pay $5, but if it was $4 for an upgrade it'd be fine" is frankly ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Kingof “kingof9x” 9x Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Jared Gauthier The dev himself calls it a upgrade and an update himself in the apps FAQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Rob Phelps Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Thank you JR Raphael?. Hated saying 'phablet' as well.... '+size phone' is my new terminology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Kingof “kingof9x” 9x Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Grant Gelinas-Brown starbucks does give me a $1 off the next one if i bring back the cup from the first drink. And that's all I ask. Apparently google does not allow upgrade pricing so I should really complain to google that they should give developers more options on how to charge for updates- http://customerservice.starbucks.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2463 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
