Welcome to /c/PlayStoreDeals

The goal of this community is to share when Android apps on the Google Play Store go on sale, either at a reduced price or for free.

Rules

  1. Post URL must be the URL of the app on the Google Play Store.
    • Exception: If the developer has multiple apps on sale, it can be the URL of the developer on the Google Play Store.
  2. Post titles must contain:
    • Name of app
      • Exception: If the developer has multiple apps on sale, it can be the developer’s name and an indication that it is multiple apps
    • Regular price and sale price
      • Examples:
        • $4.99 -> $0.99
        • $2.99 -> free
    • The word (Expired) before the name once the sale is over
  3. Post descriptions must contain:
    • All or part of the description of the app from the Google Play Store.
  4. Post descriptions can contain:
    • The date when the sale ends, if known
    • Your country of origin (This is not required, but can help because sometimes sales are limited to parts of the world.)
    • Historical information about pricing if known
  5. Do not include any other information in the post! No media or other links. If you would like to provide more information or opinions, make a reply.
  6. Do not violate the lemmy.ca server rules.

Recommendations

  1. To help others decide whether to buy or download these apps, make a reply and share what you know, including:
    • the merits of the app
    • compatibility issues with different Android devices
    • similar apps that you prefer
    • historical pricing data if known
  2. If you see a sale has expired, please reply with the word “Expired” so the poster knows to change the title.
  3. If the sale has expired but you think the app is worth paying full price, please say so. We like sales, but we also want developers to be fairly compensated for good work.

Lemmy.ca

Welcome to Lemmy.ca!

Lemmy.ca” is so named due to it running the Lemmy software, in the Fediverse, and it’s geared toward Canadians, hosted in Canada, and run by Canadians. It is, however, not at all restricted to Canadians, or Canadian culture/topics/etc. All are welcome!

We are run by the non-profit Fedecan and funded entirely by user donations. You can help support us by visiting our donations page.

We have some rules here:

1. No Bigotry

Including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

2. Be Civil

Argue in good faith, attack the argument; not the person, and promote a healthy debate. That includes implying violence, threats or wishes of violence and/or death.

3. No Porn

This instance is not made to host porn communities. You’re free to access porn communities on other instances through your account, but be mindful of Rule 4.

4. Use the NSFW tag

Use your common sense: if you wouldn’t want this image to show up on your work computer, tag it as such. In comments, use the :::spoiler ::: tag for NSFW images, and put a NSFW mention beside links.

5. No Ads / Spam

This instance is not there to act as your billboard. If you want to promote your personal work, at least make the effort to be a contributing member of this community. Your account purpose shouldn’t be to only advertise, make it natural.

6. Bot account

If you are the operator of a “bot” account, make sure to flag is as such in the account’s settings.

7. Right to privacy

Do NOT distribute the personal information of someone else without their consent (aka doxxing). Information that is public domain can be shared, provided it is in good faith.
ex: The official email of an elected official is fair, the private phone number or the real name of a non-public person is NOT.

8. Report abuse

The report function isn’t labelled the disagree button. You might not agree with someone, but that doesn’t mean what the person says is against the rules. Using it repeately in this fashion will lead to actions being taken against the reporter.

9. Impersonation

Don’t make an account with the intent to negatively deceive or defame someone on the fediverse.
ex: Parody of a famous person is okay, submitting outrageous content as appearing like another user, mod or admin isn’t.
