Free Amazon App of the Day

You’ve been waiting for it for a long time. We told you it was coming. It’s been available on the iPhone forever. Well, it’s finally here. The second of three PopCap exclusives to be released on Amazon’s Appstore for Android is none other than Plants vs. Zombies, and it’s the free app of the day.

Frankly, there’s really no need to tell you how the game works (I think we’ve all played it at least once), but I will tell you a few things before downloading. First, as with all three PopCap exclusives, Plants vs. Zombies is a Wi-Fi-only download. Second, the file size is approximately 75MB.

Lastly, despite the small number of Android phones in the compatibility list on Amazon’s site, we can verify that it also works on the HTC Thunderbolt, HTC Droid Incredible, and the HTC EVO (which are not listed).

Suffice it to say that it will work on the majority of Android phones to date. The app is supposedly not optimized for tablets–pixelation may occur–but if you have one, screw it; try anyway.

On Amazon’s Appstore for Android you can download the full, ad-free version of the Plants vs. Zombies. It’s free on launch day, then will go back to the standard retail price after the one-day promotion expire, at $2.99. Plants vs Zombies will remain an Amazon exclusive for only two weeks, then becomes available everywhere else.

Looking for a really good fitness application for your phone can be a pain in the butt–and exhausting. At which point, you’re done trying. The GPS is off by (insert miles here), Facebook integration doesn’t work, it has less than a handful of workout scenarios, no customization…

CardioTrainer has been in the top-apps list in the Android Market since the market was first introduced. CNET reviewed the lite version in May 2009, and a lot of bugs have been fixed in those two years–I mean, you’d hope so right?

On Amazon’s Appstore for Android you can download the full, ad-free version of the Pro version (typically $9.99) for nothing. Features include auto-mapping, six levels of interval training, 20 levels of difficulty, audio and video feedback during workouts, pedometer, more than 40 different preinstalled workouts to choose from, and a built-in music player. There’s a customization setting if your workout isn’t in the predefined list.

There is a precursor to installing this app on Amazon, however. You must download and install the free (or lite) version of CardioTrainer first. Once that’s done, download and install the Pro version. And there you go! Unlocked, free and fully-featured.

CardioTrainer Pro will be Amazon’s free App of the Day until 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT tonight. Try it out. There’s always the option of uninstalling if it doesn’t suit your needs, and free is free.

If you’ve tried Seesmic, Twitdroyd, TweetDeck, the stock Twitter-type application on your phone, or the official Twitter app, but continue to search for that “one,” why not try another? On Amazon’s Appstore for Android you can download the full, ad-free version of TweetCaster Pro for Android (normally $4.99) by Handmark, for nada, niente, rien, nichts, gratis.

A lot has been improved upon since our review back in March 2011. With a new feature, Zip It, you can remove users or trends from your feed without unfollowing them. Instapaper support lets you save long articles to read later. Use Color Coding to personalize your own tweets and @replies with a custom color of your choosing. At the top of the list are five tabs for your full tweet list, tweets that just mention you, direct messages, your favorites, and any lists that you follow or follow you. Gone are the small yellow dot indicators for new tweets or mentions–we now see the number of tweets, mentions, and direct messages on the appropriate tabs. TweetCaster allows you to add a picture or video from galleries or directly from your mobile device’s camera. Built-in URL shortening is also available, and you can quickly add geotag information or the usernames of your contacts to a tweet. Linking your Facebook account to TweetCaster will update that profile as well. The feature list goes on.
