At the time of this writing, one star ratings are a click away from 100 total, with the common complaint being the inability to install. Boy, Amazon is on a roll picking the winners this week. First it was yesterday's Nano Panda-monium with that pile that nearly bricked my phone, and now Jenga doing just the same to everything EXCEPT my phone.
Jenga, free today on the Amazon Appstore for Android, is a sound download on the Samsung Fascinate running 2.2 on Verizon (the best). Other working phones seem to be the original Droid with CM7, one Evo 4G, Droid X, even a Galaxy Tab. But there are tons of people saying it won't even install. This sounds like a packaging issue on the part of the dev or Amazon.
The game itself is fun. Takes a game to get used to how it works, but I think its a lot of fun. With several modes of play including a multiplayer pass-the-phone mode to get everyone into the classic yet virtual brick pulling fun.
Download with caution everyone, though I would like to share with you all some ideas. Here's a couple tips to downloading apps on anyone's marketplace, Amazon or Android:
Tip #1: If you don't want to install an app because its in disarray, though its free and want it anyway, you can choose not to install on your phone OR... on a computer, while logged into Amazon, click this:
You'll own it and see it in your New apps list yet its not downloaded or installed to your phone. Then just wait for it to update before installing. You still get it free and stay away from any serious temporary issue.
Tip #2: When writing a review for an app on either Amazon's Appstore or the Android Market, please please please note the phone you are using at the time of the writing and the OS, so everyone knows if the problems or praises you preach are present on the p-phone.
Now get to downloading you Fascinate users!
