Hi Johnny,
I would like to bring to your attention a new game available exclusively on Android – Hungry Ducks. We are currently looking for reviewers for the app, and any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hungry Ducks is a free game tasking players with guiding a duck around varying mazes, dodging swans and eating bread to swim their way to a tasty victory! With the aid of tools such as paper planes, super glue and other weapons, players are able to defeat the nasty swans that stand in their way. By using logic and skill to complete the levels, players will collect stars enabling them to travel to new irresistible and challenging ponds.
Please find attached a selection of screenshots and logos from the game.
If you are interested in reviewing Hungry Ducks, and would like to know more information, please do not hesitate to contact me back. You can find the app on theAndroid Marketplace here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.philkingsley.hungryducksfree
Thanks for your time reading this email. Quack! Quack!
Hi,
New to the android developper world, i wanted to share with you an
application that i made. With this application, the user can trigger
an alert in case of an emergency or accident (text message, email,
call).
This app is available on the market here :
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.iSOS
As you will see, the user will be able to learn first aid emergency
gestures, find an emergency service’s phone number and also find a
defibrillator (AED) around the user or around a location defined by
the user.
Hoping that my application will generate interest to you.
Sincerely yours,
Xavier BELLENGER
Hi!!
Katie from TripLingo here.
I wanted to reach out to give you the heads up that after four months of toil we’re releasing our award-winning language-learning platform for Android. Unlike other language-learning software focused on fluency, TripLingo is focused on the specific needs of travel, which is the number one reason people learn a foreign language.
While our apps normally cost $9.99 per language, for this week we’re discounting both the Android and iPhone versions to $3.99 per to celebrate our launch! They’ll go back up to their normal price starting Saturday.
In addition to announcing the launch of our Android application tomorrow, we’re also thrilled to announce that we’ve more than doubled the number of languages we offer- we’ve added Japanese, Hindi, Mandarin, Korean, Hebrew, Castilian Spanish, and Thai.
While its been a challenge to create the same awesome experience on Android phones as we provide on iOS, we’re proud to announce that the Android version works on over 90% of devices and includes every single feature beloved by our iOS users, from the intuitive design to the Slang Slider to the customized phrase list and more. We’re thrilled to announce this during the same week that we pass 40,000 downloads on iOS alone!
Ahead of our launch, I thought I’d reach out ahead of our launch to give you the heads up and see if you were interested in covering it. I’d be happy to provide you additional information, and Jesse our CEO is happy to provide any quotes you’d like.
Thanks for your time! I’m happy to provide some screenshots, our logo, and anything else you’d need, just let me know.
Cheers,
Katie
P.P.S. Here’s a little additional information that might be relevant:

What Makes TripLingo Different
One of our most celebrated features is the “Slang Slider”, which shows formal, casual, slang and crazy ways to say each phrase. TripLingo also creates a customized phrase list creates a unique phrase list for each user depending on their intent, interests, personality, and special needs (e.g. if you have a gluten allergy, we make sure that this phrase is front and center for you). We also have built-in flashcards, thousands of high-quality audio files (one normal speed and one said slowly for each phrase), and cultural information embedded throughout the app.
