Amazon appstore is offering 1 free app a day!

Here's a guide on how to get the Amazon Appstore running outside the US: http://abtevrythng.blogspot.com/2011/03/how-to-use-amazon-ap…

edit: there is a little bit of effort/time required in setting up the appstore initially, but it's well worth the effort as they are giving away 1 paid app for free daily!

edit2: The SoundHound infinity deal has expired so I have modified the heading, this is still is a good bargain as Amazon are giving away 1 free app a day (today is FruitNinja)!

    Great, except you need to have a US account…
    I just get an error
    "The Amazon App Store is not set up for your Country yet" (or something similar)

      Hence the reason I posted a guide on how to set it up to work in Australia…

        Yep, fair call.. didn't read that far…
        But I agree with Hellbound. Call me lazy, but there's far too much effort required to save a few bucks on Apps I'll use very occasionally and are available for free (with ads) for the few times I ever do use them.

          "Yep, fair call.. didn't read that far…"

          What, three lines down? Are you serious?

        • [Deactivated] on 31/03/2011 - 19:05

          Most people only read the title like me when things seem self explanatory. I'm sure you do the same sam.

        • ESEMCE on 01/04/2011 - 07:43

          read the title. Thought I was a smarty-pants who had already downloaded the App store and tried to get me some free Apps, but couldn't and commented…
          Reading the first line didn't even come into it, the 3rd line was well off my radar!

  • hellbound on 31/03/2011 - 15:05

    Good deal but far too much effort to be able to get it free in Aus

  • wallet72 on 31/03/2011 - 15:11

    I've installed the Amazon App store, but I can't even get the free apps unless I register my credit card with the Amazon 1-click ordering beast. Bugger that.

  • koungra on 31/03/2011 - 15:26

    Just tried out the Amazon trick and got it working quite easily. Only took 5 minutes to get it setup. Thanks for the tip :)

    Installing now. Angry Birds Rio is up next!

    • donkuok on 31/03/2011 - 15:42

      It worked..yoohoo

    • excite on 31/03/2011 - 18:13

      Is not Anger birds free in Android Market? why install from Amazon App?

      • xtremezhang on 31/03/2011 - 20:25

        edit: lol your right. Rio has been recently added to App Market

      • kimba88 on 31/03/2011 - 21:21

        i think angry birds rio on the amazon app store is the ad free version. The one on the market has ads i think..

  • demere on 31/03/2011 - 16:06

    it doesnt work for me.. still get the same msg saying the app is not available in my region… sigh…

  • frgn8r on 31/03/2011 - 16:21

    I love this app… worth the effort

  • koungra on 31/03/2011 - 16:29

    I have installed and used about 5 apps now from the appstore. If you follow the steps which are quite simple you shouldnt have any troubles

    • demere on 31/03/2011 - 16:32

      i followed every single steps of them but still got the same msg saying the appstore is not available in your region…

  • drexxx on 31/03/2011 - 16:33

    i love this app! i am happy with the unpaid version :)

  • yeahnah-nahyeah on 31/03/2011 - 16:42

    While everyone's threshold for 'cant be bothered'-ness is relative, it seriously could not be much easier to get these apps…

    i've been searching for a few days for a way to get these apps and they all involved installing tors or vpns or proxies etc etc…

    i just cant believe that a) i found a solution on ozbargain and b) it's just THAT freaking easy.

    These are apps that you normally would have to pay for, so if you wanted them in the first place it would take you as much effort to put in all these details to register (in fact it was made that much quicker cos i pasted them from fakenamegenerator).

    • [Deactivated] on 31/03/2011 - 16:50

      any other apps you suggest?

  • demere on 31/03/2011 - 17:10

    it works for me now… make sure when u create a fake email account, put the country as "united states"

  • mikkim4eva on 31/03/2011 - 17:33

    awesome app, thanks. just remember to turn on 1 click ordering XD

  • mikiora on 31/03/2011 - 17:42

    Doesn't seem to work for me, even following the guide… why is that?

  • xtremezhang on 31/03/2011 - 17:44

    got it to work on the 2nd try. thanks

  • cactus68 on 31/03/2011 - 17:59

    not for mac that download!

      wont work ppl installed will have "you are not the owner of this app" then force close.

    It's not showing up for free anymore on the Amazon market?

    • gusta7 on 31/03/2011 - 18:48

      same here. Shows under Top Free but shows $4.99

  • Charlie-B on 31/03/2011 - 19:07

    Yea, search for it, the one that's 4.99 is the infinity(?), and then there's the free one.. Fruit Ninja is free as well :)

    • leginmat on 31/03/2011 - 19:22

      The normal app has always been free. It's the infinity which is a paid app.

    • aznkiwi91 on 31/03/2011 - 19:31

      I want the infinity, not the one that's already free…

  • DVDGuy on 31/03/2011 - 19:19

    It didn't work for me at first, but I tried another randomly generated detail (as per instructions), and it worked. Shame, the SoundHoud Inifity offer has just ended …

    • leginmat on 31/03/2011 - 19:24

      Seems as if I was too late. Thanks for the help and info about Amazon apps though.

  • Charlie-B on 31/03/2011 - 19:34

    Oh ok then, then yea I think it just ended, but today's free app is Fruit Ninja as it seems..

  • conio on 31/03/2011 - 20:48

    You can't call this a bargain when you have to fraudulently register an account.

    • overlook on 31/03/2011 - 20:59
      -5

      i know i am thinking the same…not even one part that you using any of your real detail, fake name, fake address, fake credit card. you technically creating some non existence humans to get a free app. you call this a bargain?

      edit: oh and while ozbargain banning all these ghost accounts, this deal made it into front page. IRONY

    • syme321 on 31/03/2011 - 21:41

      Agreed.

      Next bargain … "Download movies from the Internet for free!"

  • kimba88 on 31/03/2011 - 21:24

    when downloading a free app from the amazon app store.. does it take forever.. or am i the only one?

  • leiiv on 31/03/2011 - 22:24

    Thanks much for the tip!! Haters gonna hate..

  • annoynimous on 31/03/2011 - 22:30

    tried it twice even with ultrasurf it could detect my region

    • demere on 01/04/2011 - 09:08

      make sure u register ur email account in "united states" otherwise it'll still pick up ur region.

  • MHLoppy on 01/04/2011 - 03:53

    You sir get a +, if only for going to the trouble of providing this process and having the guts to post this sort of thing :)

  • bignelly on 01/04/2011 - 10:26

    Cant get this to work….do you think it may be because of the phone network, im trying to access it from? Annoying that it works for some but not others…..even set up the fake e-mail address.

  • leiiv on 01/04/2011 - 13:30

    You can use a disposable email such as mailinator.com. Don't forget to add a valid US address and add a US credit card (does not need to be valid) and set the CC as the default 1 click pay. Well, at least that's what I've done.

    • annoynimous on 01/04/2011 - 15:15

      still doesn't work, do i need to be on vpn to use the appstore after registering? keeps detecting my region, even though i've registered hotmail under US address.

      • leiiv on 01/04/2011 - 16:59

        I did not use any vpn or proxy or whatsoever, it just works.

  • Retract on 02/04/2011 - 10:23

    Worked perfect fo rm e. Thanks.

  • spam12345 on 02/04/2011 - 12:56

    Worked on my rooted nookcolor. :)
