[Q] [Request] Price Calculator - Windows Mobile Software Development

Hey Everyone!
I'm just wondering if someone would like a small donation for creating an application, It seems fairly simple but I've spent 2 full days mucking through Visual Basic 2008 trying to build this with 0 success. So I thought I'd turn to the pro's
What I would like to have created (and others I am sure by the amount of buzz that app has caused) is an application very much like the "Price Calculator" of the iPhone's for windows mobile. It seemed like it would be an easy thing to do... until I realized my skills are better spent on building computers and shooting video....
Anyone up for a challenge?
oh might be helpful to mention it's located in the app store I didn't know if I'd be allowed to post the link.
Thanks Everybody, Hope someone's willing and able! (there's $30 in it for the first to complete)

Yeah give more information about what the app is and does. I never found it on the app store though I didn't really search for it. Post a link to it. It won't be a problem as long as it links to the app store version and not some warez [email protected] Also what device and version of winmo is the target? Can this app use winmo6.5 APIs or does it need to be winmo5.0 compatible?

(REQ) One hundred push ups app

Hello guys. I would like to request a one hundred push ups app.
This is the website: hundredpushups.com/index.html
And there is already an iphone app for it. Maybe someone is able to make the same thing? So a little stopwatch + reminder when you need to push up and the weeks etcetera.
Great thanks!
I could probably make something like this. But it would have to be on my backburners until i finish up FFP_LockScreen (which shouldn't be too much longer). And put in the time that VisualGVoice deserves (*sigh*). If there were incentive to make such an app, I could push it up my To-Do list, but realize that my other apps have incentives as well (both monetary and challenges to my coding abilities).
It wouldn't be too hard to make, in fact. If someone wants to dev it, but needs the concepts on how to code it, I would be more than glad to help that way.

I don't suppose you'd have time to modify imgresize to report back the image dimensions? I love the app, but I would love it even more if I fed it an argument like "-find res" - and it returned the x and y dimensions, so that I can determine whether an image needs resizing or not. Sorry for the ot.

I will consider this after I release the next version of LateReader.
By the time can somebody post the screenshots from the iphone application. The screenshots really help a lot when developing a GUI intensive application.
Here are all the images you need:
itunes.apple.com/nl/app/hundred-pushups/id301174591?mt=8
Edit:
And if someone is developing it, could you please bring out a Qvga version first? I got a palm treo pro

If I happen to start developing this, it will have to be resolution independent then (usually no big deal), because I have a HD2 (WVGA).
Also the link contains only two images of the iphone app as far as I see. If we could have more screenshots (one for each screen), that would help a lot. I know, the concept is already very simple, but still having some screens to start with makes the development process real faster.
Edit : actually the link contains 5 images but still not all the screens covered. OK, whatever, this at least something to start with.
Some more images are over here,

Not yet... LateReader still requires my time I believe.
Anyway, I will definitely look into this if no one starts developing, but I can not promise for when I would start it
I too have this app for my ipod touch and I have the sit-ups one. I been thinking about making this as an app, which should be simple enough. The only thing I need to figure out is the number of push ups required for each days etc.
For example, when you first use it you are suppose to do as many as you can and then enter that number. From there the program works out how many push ups you have to do each day. How do you work that out?

You can use the tables provided in the website. (www.hundredpushups.com, etc.)
nice! I will take a look
Wanted to say the same, check out the tables @ the website. when you start up the app you can just choose your table and from there a little timer appears and you have to do the pushup's your supposed to do
I have started work on this application and will keep you posted with updates. Any idea for a program name? Don't really want to call it "100 pushups"

Just throwing out what just popped in
Can I help you with the beta... PM me.
Push it to the limit!
Could i be a beta tester?
After just discovering the hundred push up site the other day and deciding to do it; it took one quick search to find you guys have just started making this program!
Would love to help with any beta testing if I could be useful!
You can all be beta testers
There are 3 main stages/versions I'm aiming for.
Functionality - This will be the first version which will have a rubbish GUI but its purpose will be to make sure the program works.
GUI - This will be as above but a nice polished GUI to run it :-D
Final Build - After I post the GUI version I will be asking if anyone wants features added or something changed etc. This version will have those changes.
Here's what I currently have and testing in the Functionality version.
* Databased filled with the 6 weeks programs.
* Main menu with 3 buttons. "Today's Program", "Log/Charts" and "Good Form". The last 2 buttons are currently disabled.
* Today's Program displays a test screen after every week and will create a program for the next week based on the results.
* Today's Program displays the week number, Day, number of sets and the number of reps for each set. There is also a working timer for the rest periods.
* After each program has been completed the data is recorded.
At the moment everything seems to be working, I simulated 2 weeks worth and everything recorded and the correct programs loaded etc. So, if I continue as I am I may have a first release ready by the weekend for people to play with.

[APP]XDA Windows mobile app

XDA Windows mobile app​
Well, the title kinda explans a lot and I really wanted to read XDA without going the the site every time and I was envius that Android people had a version so I am in the process of making on for our Winmo devices so thats about it. I wa planning on doing it though RSS but is there another interface I can have access to in order to make this app?
its no app for windowsmobile can you make one for professional and standard device because i want to go to the site on my samsungjack
wow that was fast. Yeah I have a lot of experience in developing for winmo using visual studio 2010 so im pretty comfortable using the pro and standard SDK.
only problem is that I was planning on hosting this project on my site but my domain registration (hydrosmobile.com) ran out - the one year lease...and im kinda broke now so im gonna have to host it here until I get some donations.
sounds great we need something like this perhaps xda should sponsor apps like these after all they benefit

oh that stinks. So i guess this is it then? Is there anything thou guys want me to add? What's different from this and the existing android thing?
EDIT:

[Q] Budget assistant developer needed

Hello everyone, Im trying to get into WP7 app develepment, but i dont know how to write code, i have been trying to make something with blend but with no success.
I would like to know if anyone would like to help me building a simple app which i think it would be handy for some.
I have attached some photos of what i have done.
basically i want an app that would simply keep details of how much and where you spent your money. Also i want to include a calculator like page where lets your shopping in the supermarket and you want to keep track of how much you have spent, so you add the price of the items and add them, after you can save it, give it a date and where it was. then the app will keep this data to help you keep track of your spendings.
Please let me know what you think, and if anyone would like to try this with me, i would apreciate. My skills are designing. the photos attached its just a quick draft of what i have in mind.

[Q] Soundboard App - Expression Blend

Hi, I'm new to WP7 development coming from webOS.
I'm trying to make a simple soundboard app through Expression Blend and I've run into a few snags.
I've added the media element and given it a source (even though I'm pretty sure it's not stored locally within the app quite yet). My next step would be to add a play/pause button and a title but this is where I'm getting stuck. I'm going for the same look as when you're choosing a ringtone.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
If any dev helps me, I'll give him/her an idea for an app that hasn't been done yet! Money making opportunity
I'm not sure that support for that is built in. Its probably just a skinned Button.
This seems similar to what you're after, it's just ugly - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/gg598930.aspx

Thank you for your help, unfortunately it wasn't quite what I was looking for. But luckily after a bunch of tinkering, I figured it out on my own!

I made a drumlooper, however the performance of audio is really terrible on xna/silverlight and even the most optimised code did not do the job for me and it will get out of sync easily.
However if your soundboard triggers just one sample at the time or a few its possible, dont expect the live drum performance of an MPC on your phone though...
Feel free to pm me and ill look up the code for playing audio and sampling etc.

[FREE][APP][2.2+] Timesheet

Hi testers,
I've developed the app Timesheet. It's an app for keeping track of your work hours for payroll reporting, billing etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217159
I think, compared to the competitors, it got the most complete feature set. But i'am only getting 60-100 downloads a day, and currently the retention rate is a dismal 25%. Why?
The few ratings the app got is good (4.3), but i need critical feedback!
Why do downloaders uninstall the app?
Is the app to complicated?
Is the app poorly designed?
Is the app missing some key feature?
Is the app buggy?
Is it the ads?
Is is the lack of translations?
What is it!?
Please download, it's free, and give it a try. Then tell me whats wrong, the cold truth!

Hey! I saw your app and was really eager to test it out. However, I decided not to because I saw it required a lot of permissions; most of these permissions I did not feel comfortable giving the app. I was planning on using this to audit my payroll for myself.
I think having too many sensitive permissions is not good for this type of app in my opinion. Things like reading my personal information, my accounts, to me seems a bit much for something I was just going to use to audit my payroll.
I hope this helps! Good luck And I look forward to see how this project progresses.

Thanks for the feedback.
I've suspected potential user might see this as an issue. I think i'll move some features to optional plug-ins to reduce the permissions requirements, like READ_CALL_LOG (used by phone tasks) and MANAGE_ACCOUNTS/AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS (used by ftp client).
Very good
Very good

Sweet alright thanks for the tip. Ive never used illustrator im a Photoshop guy but ill give it a try. Also i tried the app and i had a few issues getting around the UI i got a bit lost but i looks stable and also idk why but maybe just integrate the 3 icons you have installed into one that way it doesnt clutter the homescreen, i know some users dont like having 3 icons for one app. Maybe include a side bar sorta like G+ does.

I've heard others getting lost . The problem is that the app is a bit complicated. The view and data structure is both hierarchical (Main > Projects > Tasks > Expenses/Breaks) and wide at each level (Details, Tasks/Breaks, Expenses, Files). I've looked at the side drawer but it doesn't really fit the hierarchy part.
The app actually had three seperate launcher icons in earlier versions. Now it just adds the two additional home screen shortcuts. But even these will be removed in the next version.

I love the set up and the simplicity, one thing I think you could add to make it better is a start date on the project page, I found it confusing to backdate my project until I went on the calander and added it that way. Also as a former door-to-door salesman and now a subcontractor for construction one other thing I found frustrating is there iz no pay by the week, by the sale or by the job option sometimes I work odd hours and get payed compensation, sometimes I work odd hours and get payed by the job, and sometimes I work odd hours and get payed by the week so if you could add that it would become the perfect app for me

Timesheet is should really be used to punch in every time you begin work. That's why the start date is set to today when creating a new task. But as you found out, the History tab is the quickest way to add past time entries.
Change the timespan in the Overview/Details tab to see income, overtime and expenses per day, week, month, etc..

Timesheet isn't intended to be used as a calendar to register future work. But that sounds like an interesing feature we could incorporate better support for.

I was looking under internationalization-> currency and noticed there was no UK (Pound Sterling) or have I missed something???
My first impression is that the app is a little daunting... but then I have never looked at a timesheet app before!
If you are you using Androids analytics you can get a good understanding of the areas people use the most. This is a good way to analyse your app, and make decisions in terms of UI.
Sorry I can't be more useful I'm not your target market

Yeah, it’s a bit over engineered. But with so much features it’s hard to keep it simple.
Since i posted this thead, we’ve added alot of features and made the UI a bit more flashy, and it helped alot. The app now got 300+ downloads a day with a retention rate around 30%. It’s top 5 of it’s kind so i think the app has reached it’s peek.
Hi there. I tried your app months ago when I was searching for... well a "timesheet" app. I was one of those who uninstalled your app. One of the common problems here in our small company was having to fill up these excel sheets. I thought your app could help me track my work hours, just to find out it was a bit complicated than what I was expecting. I only wanted to track my work hours. Basically I just wanna know how many hours I spent in a project for that day. In your app I needed to input my hours first before actually starting with my task. I know this is not the proper way to handle projects and all, but there are times when we need to insert some side jobs in between projects. So there you go.

You don't have to input the hours before you've done the task! You just begin the task and then later end it.

Voice commands, anyone?!
Any Timesheet users here who downloaded the latest version 1.2.7?
If so have anyone tried the voice commands?
Sufficient testing was impossible since the emulator doesn't have any Speech Recognition engine!
