[review] MyMarket {update 8/10}

[*susan*]

Very nice review, Konzern!!

[metachris]

Hey guys!

First off, thanks for the thorough review of MyMarket. We really hope to deliver a product that brings more fun into browsing apps and games in the Market.

Konzern said that on going back from the Android Market to "MyMarket", it doesn't remember the place you've been before. Strange -- here on our G1's it seems to do that just fine. Can other people confirm that? Anyway will have a look into that.

Recommendations are currently used to mark items you'd recommend to other people. We are working on a system to provide 'smart' suggestions of possibly interesting apps and games. That feature will come in one week or two.

Next steps on the roadmap we are working on are a Search function as well as "My Downloads", amongst a few other ideas. The next update is scheduled for next Monday, 17.8. Having released the first version three days, we are already way down the "by date" listings, and waiting for a week between updates will bring you up on top of the list again.

We are always happy to hear about ideas, suggestions and problem reports, and are quite quick integrating those. Keep the ideas coming!

Best,
- Chris

I'm going to try that bug in a little bit when I get a chance, about going from the official Market to MyMarket.

What I like best about this app is bookmarking!

Hey,

Whenever I run this app, it says that it cannot contact the server, no matter how good my service is. Problem is, my caches are on the SD card, so that might be the reason, which obviously would mean it's not you devs' faults. However, it was working for me the first time I installed it, and my market cache was on my SD card then too.

Hey again!

The reason all users got a "Could not connect to server" message between 01:00 AM and 11:00 AM GMT was the following: G* changed the request strings being sent from the market to the servers for querying the pages of apps. This rendered the hardcoded base-request string in MyMarket invalid and we had to update the app with the new string.

I'm really sorry about that -- but we had no way to know this beforehand, the only thing we could do was to react on that as quickly as possible. I hope some people change their 1 star rating again :P

What we have learned from this is that G* might change the request strings anytime, and we are going to implement a backup-string in the hope that not all request strings are changed at the same time. If the backup string would work for 10 - 20 hours, it would be enough time to upload the new request string to a server and have MyMarket download it automatically. This is what we are going to implement in the next update, in the hope to avoid this problem in the future.

Best,
