What Apps/Games to buy

[virtuo]

I've apparently been given $10 on Amazon AppStore to use by the end of the month, so was considering buying an app or 2 while they are 'free'.

Anything I should be looking for? I've not really been following what's new after getting buried in Real Racing 3 and a few mobile Humble games.

Infinite Flight and GTA look nice, and I could give MineCraft a go (never played it). I tend to go for puzzlers/driving games but open to suggestions.

Want to avoid anything with IAP

Here are a few that I use...

AutomateIt Pro - make your life easier by automating various tasks (eg: turn the ringer down once you arrive home)

Wolfram Alpha - Computational knowledge engine

Cerberus - find, lock or erase your missing Android device

Network Signal Info Pro - nice looking widget with your current mobile internet connection speed

Plex - stream video/audio from your PC/NAS

Tunein Radio Pro - Internet radio

Worms 2 - Armageddon - kill da worms

Random Mahjong Pro - great looking Mahjong game

I had the same, thought it was phishing as it was in dollars, then got an e-mail today saying I had £10 in credit at the UK app store. That's MOAR in my book...

I've got quite a few of those, will certainly check out the ones I haven't though, thanks for the links!

I thought the same, I used the Appstore app and clicked "buy" on something but it wasn't clear if I had a promotional balance or not (just a 1-click purchase button). Ended up searching "amazon promotional balance" on Google and landed on the Amazon US store, signed in and finally found a link to check my promo balance - money was there.

Bought minecraft in the end (on the website), said $6.99 but ended up more like $8.69 as I guess the US site lists prices before sales tax/VAT @ 20%. Was hoping to grab GTA Vice City for $2.99 as well.. shame. Still Minecraft seems like a pleasant timewaster, no idea what I'm supposed to be doing on it though.

Fingers crossed they'll give me a tenner on the UK store as well..

Any more game recommendations? I decided to give android another stab as the hudl2 is SO cheap.

République got some good reviews.

New Worms 3, you can never go wrong with Worms!

Just as a point to note, today Amazon are offering a large number of games in their "free app of the day". Among them is fruit ninja, riptide GP2, Monopoly, clockwork tales and a fair amount more. This may possibly help choose where you would like to spend your £10. More on topic, I really enjoy monument valley because of its minimalist puzzles - and it is currently on the app store for £2.49.

Monument Valley was a free app of the day a month or 2 back - I thoroughly enjoyed it even though it was rather short

There's almost always an android game humblebundle which is probably a good (cheap) way to try out loads of games. Limbo is a very good game, played that on PC so more than worthy of a tablet!
