[APP][2.1+] PowerBubble - quality bubble level, great graphics

gogoad · Aug 21, 2011

Hello XDA,

Me and my friend are trying to change Android world. ;-)
We have just finished making our first Android app - bubble level (know also as spirit level or just level).

We are learning - it is our first try in Android Market, but our motto is quality so it should be quite polished. What do you think? Both compliment and criticism will be very appreciated.

Oh... and almost forgot: if you like this app please rate us in market!

App has ads, but they can be switched off from settings menu!

3MB too large for too small app

Looks and works great

I've only played with it for a couple of minutes but it seems to work good. I absolutely LOVE the polished UI. My only problem is that I don't really use a level

Still, great job.

Altimas · Aug 23, 2011

This is the nicest "spirit" level I've seen. I'm sure its not the easiest decision, bu you get a lot of credit for making ads and anonymous data configurable. I hope you go on to build a whole suite of apps!

bradleyG · Aug 23, 2011

Great looking app, I am excited to see more people start making high quality UI for android apps because that is one of the things I dislike the most about android is the lack of polished apps. However, I love android still. But keep up the good work

betadan · Aug 23, 2011

I have to say this is quite clean and works really well. Thank you!

alroger · Aug 23, 2011

Doesn't let me install from the Market, says it's incompatible with my Galaxy Tab, but I bet it is.

lzzhang10 · Aug 23, 2011

Very nice, Altho ppl rarely download something like a level as a single app though.
Things like this should be combined with other utility apps to have a good selling point.
Good trial tho.

ericcarboni · Aug 23, 2011

I love that you've given the ability to change every setting imaginable. (full screen, orientation changes, keep screen on, etc.) I feel that most apps need, although lack, most of the options you've provided. And of course, amazing UI. Great job. 5 stars

Osni~* · Aug 23, 2011

Thanks gogoad, this is an awesome app, keep up the excellent work!

One thing I really like about Bubble Level (by BRL Technologies) is that it displays 2 levels (2 axis) at the same time, and this is very useful (to me, at least).

bverilo · Aug 24, 2011

Very good graphics, thanks for doing this. Hope to see more great apps from you.

Cheers

not possible to download

Hi,

would love to use it but the market says: This app is incompatible with your HTC HD2. Running andorid 2.3.3.

Some solution?

thx

freexx89 · Aug 24, 2011

holly smokes... i love it

KaneOfMars · Aug 24, 2011

Great app, but I was unable to download from the market on my LG Revolution.

Sent from my LG Hobo 4G

vihtor · Aug 24, 2011

Looks nice but i can't download it from market. Can you attach the apk file here?

telenut · Aug 24, 2011

install market enabler and download it from the market on your phone. Works for me (and I also have a HTC HD2 with android)

gogoad · Aug 24, 2011

Thank you!

Thank you for all your positive comments!

Now I will discuss comments witch needs explanation or further investigation. Forgive me not answering all your heart warming, positive comments directly.

We know that! ;-)
Probably there is a room for improvement using new market feature witch allows developers to distribute multiple apks (for example with different resources resolution) under one entry in market. I will investigate it in "near" future.
Oh, and as a last resort you have "Move to SD" option.

I can't tell anything for sure yet, but seems that you (community) like PowerBubble so combining more tools into one package will be probably our next step.

Good point. Some people may find it useful. Will think about it.

I will try to investigate it. Can you tell me what ROMs are you exactly using? Seems to be a problem with "market manifest" (file which defines what devices are compatible).
For now I've changed main post and added link to apk. You can also use market enabler as telenut pointed out.

Thank you all once again. I will keep you updated with changes.

riskseeker · Aug 24, 2011

Excellent!

Easy to use, excellent graphics. And the *option* to configure without the need to do so. Providing the choice of supporting by ads or not, is also outstanding.

Even though I don't really need it, I'd also like to see a second level (axis).

BTW, I don't agree to package apps like this with others. I kind of prefer the unix style - choose the right tool for a job and not a collection of tools

HTC Tattoo, CM7.1(RC); installed from market.

britoso · Aug 24, 2011

Looks good but the market says its not compatible with my nexus one phone for some reason.
Probably a bug with the new market app.

This app is compatible with some of your devices.
Nookie
This item is not compatible with your device.
Nexy

Manual download worked fine.
