Amazon and Flipboard app - TouchPad General

Hi,
The market does not let me update the Amazon app and Flipboard app. Is there any trick to get it running? Or can I download the newest version of the apps anywhere else?

Not sure about the Amazon app but for Flipboard you can search for the apk and side load or get it from someone else's phone because it's not optimized for tablets yet

I downloaded Flipboard else where on the internet. But you can also try to download it from the play store on other devices that support it. Then use file explorer or some other app go under the phone memory, find this file ->/data/app. It will show you the apk files that you have downloaded on your phone from the play store. Now you can easily copy the apks you want to the sd card and send it over to the TP. (send directly with bluetooth is the easiest way).

[Q] Amazon App Store

Trying to download the Amazon App Store but the d/l keeps timing out. Anyone have any success in installing this?
I had the same problem. I was thinking of just sideloading the app and seeing if that works.
Edit: I just downloaded on my desktop, sent to my gmail and it installed fine. Not sure what the problem was. Now it works though.
I was able to download and install without any problems, but this was 1-2 weeks ago
If anybody else was wondering what happens to your apps if you have more than one device.... Any app you ever downloaded (even free app of the day) shows up as available for you to download. Nice! I was not liking the stupid ad during Angry Birds!
I installed this Monday with no problem. It is great to have all your apps.

I had the same problem on Monday. I downloaded the app to my desktop, moved it over to DropBox and then installed on the tablet via Dropbox. I still have the .apk file if anyone needs it.

is this better than google's own market place? what are the advantages? are tablet optimized apps easier to find?
Well for one thing they offer one paid app for free every day. Also, they've been known to run "specials". The biggest problem I've had with them is that you need to check 2 locations for app updates. I've been on the Amazon App Store since the day it opened.

Don't Understand
Why don't you just download it from the market?
It is for my iconia a100 it wont let it download. It says it is incompatable so I downloaded the regular version and when you launch it it takes you to the market to download the tablet version then the market says it is incompatable round and round we go.

I also want it, it isn't listed as compatible with my nook color, but I have rarely found an app that won't work even if market won't install.. so if someone has it please post it!
How do you get the APK of an app? Just use Titanium Backup?

Care to explain what it is? Some kind of jar reader?
It is a new app store competing against the android and amazon markets. It has alot of free apps. But it is not a hacker site or app. I downloaded the app after reading about it from android central or Droid life or one of those. You have to download it from the website like you had to with the amazon store. It is legit but I think the apps are the phone apps but of course we know some of them work on tablets. So far I have downloaded backbreaker but it was messed up and splashtop which worked. I also got beautiful widgets for free. I read a little bit about how the apps developers get paid and it is completely legit. Took me a minute to figure out how to download the app.

Nobody else using this app store? All apps are free, I figured all the amazon app of the day peeps would love this.

it doesn't work for me on my galaxy tab. Can't get to recognize my tab.
Did you go to the Mobile site to download the app? I think it was m.getjar.com
Then you have to add in the security code
Sent from xda premium app
When I go to m.getjar.com it just redirects back to the regular site www.getjar.com
Yeah, I had that problem too using dolphin for pad, I have the setting on desktop so the mobile site wouldn't load. Had to use stock browser to get the app. I guess I could have just changed the setting. Make sure you access the quick download at bottom of the page and put in security code that they give you.

I hate getjar - it's hard to use (download apps) and hard to publish apps (the have ridiculous adding process, and resolution requirements).
Once I figured out how to get the app, downloading apps is no harder then the market or Amazon's store. The app has it's own installer as well.

I am using getjar app. Already downloaded some apps for free.
I have a question though. This getjar app is running in the startup. And startup managers are not able to kill it.
Any idea to remove it from running at startup?

I tried this out. It was alright. Not that many of the Gold apps or whatever they're called interested me though. Maybe in the future if they get some more...

This is what is stopping me from using this service, just dont know why it would need to launch at startup?
I wouldn't have downloaded it, but I read enough about it from legitimate news sources that I figured it was legit.

Is there another way? I do not have an android phone...just this nook tablet...
Search the web for the most recent apk (I'm pretty sure it's linked on this site in the must-have apps thread) and side-load install it.
yeah i was wrong, the 1.5.4 version (found in the essential apps post) works just fine.

"Facebook 2.0" has been pulled from markets, since it uses the FB name but isn't the official FB app. Google to find.

[APP] Cloud On (ms office app)

so here it is... If you re like who use your tab to write essay and stuff, this is THE ONLY office app app you need. 100% ms office functions. I ve used many other office apps, Office Suite, Quick Office etc... none 0f them are even close to Cloud On
So Go on the market and search Cloud On.
You welcome
I am loving CloudOn on my tab.. Though its animations are pretty slow, its one great app.. Hope they will integrate SugarSync with it.. then it be my one stop office app for my tab....
I am using KingsOffice(its free) for that.. Google Docs + Dropbox Integration and has all it needs to work with documents on the tab.
OfficeSuite Pro is only 61p at the moment, for that price I'm going to give it a go, think I'll download CloudOn as well to compare.
