Project: Google Play Freebie

See the results for Project: Google Play Freebie.

This project is less something we've built and something we wanted to try out as a great feature already developed.

For this project, we used IFTTT to create a recipe that published Top Apps from the Google Play store that have recently gone to 'FREE' status.  Each time there is a Top App that has a price change to 'FREE' the recipe fires and it automatically posts here to this blog.

You can find the posts that are auto-generated by this app under the category of "Project: Google Play Freebie."

This is more of a test of the service and integration with Blogger, but we'll be exploring other recipes like this as they're still valuable for folks who may want to keep tabs on Free Apps.

Consider this getting our feet wet.

The tools used to make this happen is IFTTT which allows you to connect two apps or web services together.  In this case, AppZapp and Blogger.  AppZapp is an app store monitoring service and Blogger is the platform we use for managing this blog/site.

That's all there is to it.  Feel free to use the project to track free apps.  I've already found it handy to have.

Cheers!
