Just a heads up if you want to keep the apps alive on your phone and keep trying new ones out without them being un-installed.

Launch ADC2 app.
Look for and then install the app you want (tap install).
Quickly swipe down (to get to the notifications window).
Click on the download as it shows up in notifications window (Brings you to app page in app store for that app).
As soon as app store is up (dont wait too long) Swipe down again to go back to notifications window (do not press the back button).
Wait for it to say “download complete”.
Wait till it says “successfully installed”.
Wait for it to say “application is ready for review”.
tap “application is ready for review” (brings you back to Adc2).
Clck the stars for review.
Click on “submit Review”
Click on “OK”
Press “back” button as soon as you see the dialog box saying “submitting review”.
You are then back at the app store.
Watch as your app is automatically un-installed by the adc2 app.
Wait.
It uninstalls and then it shows the button to “install” again.
Click install.
You know have your app and adc2 asks if you would like another.
nice.

… one thing I have noticed though is that at least the ADC apps are making an effort with their icons! Most apps aren’t presently following Google’s slightly torturous recommendations, which makes our home-screens pretty messy. Still think they should follow iPhone’s lead and “tidy up” applications icons into a consistent format (i.e. add a border & shading).

I like the way apps are just randomly assigned – I think this sort of thing would make a nice feature for the market: Stops good apps getting overlooked if they are randomly assigned out to people to get reviewed.

But wow – what a load of rubbish apps in ADC2! I should have entered!

If you go into your market even after judging the app it is still in your list of downloaded apps, I’ve reinstalled a few apps so far that caught my eye this way.

The apps have all been shitty, but thus is the responsibility of downloading the judging app. I’ve only run into one that seemed remotely interesting, but it didn’t work properly because the integrated maps wouldn’t get my location.

The Judging app is designed really well, simple interface and reliable.

As for the apps I have been judging…. Complete garbage.

I have only come across 1 app that I would even consider keeping on my phone.

Not one of the applications will download for me. Even uninstalled the judging app and reinstalled it thinking there was some kind of error… I’ve tried installing through the judging app and directly through the android market. I really want to take part in this process, but I have only so much patience…

anyone disappointed as me with the apps so far ?! i have downloaded like at least 25 apps and none of them has caught my attention or felt like a rushed job. As for the games, they are absolutely disappointing so far.

I seriously think that the judging app is actually interfeering with the download of the apps to be judged, either that or they are not properly on the market yet. Most are absolutely refusing to download.

I have an idea ,

How about you download the app , when its downloaded using AppManager back up the apk to SD. after you can just install the apk from appmamnager.

Hit menu and SKIP when you are presented with a new app. You CAN skip.

You can skip an app before downloading it or after you’ve started to test it by using the menu key and the “Skip” button.

Tried to be a good citizen. What a sad excuse for an “open” platform. All your points and to much work, plus some take forever to download.

Give all at once to pick from…the first few were a joke, how could they even be in the running, then “oh, I will send this app soon/later” and lastly a very promising app just will not down load, gave up after a few minutes removed ADC2.
