Mtn is giving you the motivation to work on your own app the app still remains your own Mtn is not collecting the app from you.. I don't see nothing wrong in Mtn gingering young people to develop apps...
Mtn is not giving d motivation to work on ur own app, but buying ur ideas(apps), re-creating it to be their own. mtn uses propaganda alot and that is what make me to stop contributing my app ideas for a gift that never exist. u can check their apps store and see for urself

Damnn!! See small oportunity to try my luck ohh!

Unfortunately, I was made to understand that the MTN NextApps store is for Android. Which requires Java Apps!
*heads back to learning Arabic cheesy

Fruitlessly checked the internet for positive encouragement to Android's NDK... But negetive...

And I can't throw huge money into xamarin. i wish they considered Microsoft Windows Phone....


Well, what more can I say...?
Re: MTN App Developers Competition Thread by WhiZTiM(m): 2:45am On Jul 30, 2013
consideration for health...
A trival App but UI/UX must be exceptional!
Many people that purchase android phones daily, lack or may have forgotten some basic health science knowledge...
+Such as Balanced diet
+types of foods and their strengths in the body
etc.

Such app should provide offline medical and first aid knowledge... To how you should apply pressure to gunshot injuries, knife, etc
when you hurt your finger nails, etc.

And many more I could add


I THINK I have a few project ideas for Android programmers that MAY help...

nexva(MTN Developer site) will have 12 months non exclusive rights to your APP, distribute worldwide, on any platform. If 30days to the end of 12 months tenure , you take no action , the agreement will automatically renew for another 12 months.
My question , if your APP goes viral, making tons of money, what will the APP developer go home with? undecided Galaxy S4,1m undecided

The agreement should be more favorable, in the event of an APP that gets a home run! wink
Re: MTN App Developers Competition Thread by Ajibel(m): 5:45am On Jul 30, 2013

After reading whiztim's post, i just thought of this- An app where u can check up ur symptoms of brewing illness and then get possible diagnosis/medication for it. Saves u d hassle of pharmaceutical or hospital visits. Pharmacies can even list the drugs they have and their purchase price and you can "order" for it grin grin grin

I used to criticize all these telecom companies on their every day reality show only on entertainment but i must commend MTN on this. First it was NEXT TITAN and now this, the reward may not be ok but, it's an encouragement and i am sure others will follow.

Nice initiative, but I don't like the idea of rewarding the first overall prize with a "big" car. Its better if they translate that to money. If an undergraduate wins the competition, I wonder what he would do with a Hyundai IX 35. Isn't it better they give money or some startup grants with some training and mentoring so that a business can be built around the app?
