| I have done it again an put off making an xmas themed game until the last minute - I blitzed through the bulk of the game last week but I feel I still need a good 1-2 weeks to polish things up - get some graphics replaced (buttons) and so on. I was wondering how long it takes for games to get onto Google play and other droid app stores such as Amazon. It will be a free game so I am not worried about getting sales but I would like to give a chance. Sneak peek;  |

| A matter of hours... no review process for the Google Play market, I dont know about Amazon. |
| ||
| I have a game on Amazon but I can't remember exactly how long it took, but you can make it before xmas. |

| Amazon: 3-5 days Google: Instantly, but it takes a few hours till the market app catches it up. It might help to clear your cache. |

| Xaron's right regarding Amazon and Google Other Android app stores Slideme - a day or two Appia - several days Appslib - can't remember, a day or two Mobango - 2 or 3 days All seem much, much quicker than iTunes App Store :-) You have plenty of time before Christmas! |

| What's that? Never heard of these stores. Are they worth it? One definitely worth it is AndroidPit |

| Thanks guys - I just registered a Google merchant account! Just spent half hour working out what data feeds were all about. Miss the good old days of wrapping my blitzbasic .exe using an installer and uploading to my website. |
| ||
| Yes. But the good thing is you don't have to care about all that payment stuff. |
| ||
| Well turns out I registered the wrong account - I needed to create a Developer console account not a merchant - developer console screen makes sense and it only cost me $25 :p |

| @Xaron - your mileage may vary, but I've found the "alternative" app stores to be surprizingly good for generating downloads. Slideme, in particular, has generated over 3x the downloads I've got from Google Play, for both my apps. I'll post some stats on the downloads I'm seeing across all these stores |
