Random Nana's might stop working after reaching limit

It is unconfirmed; but I noticed the random Nana's functionality stopped popping up after reaching the 350,000 Nana's limit.

I would like to hear comments from other AppNana users if they experience the same.

This is just based on personal observation, and it is not documented by Mapiz, the developer of AppNana.

If you know more about this feature, I invite you to use the comments below and enlighten us!

AppNana friends invites not working since 3.0.0?

As a way of self-promotion, I am using the page http://www.reddit.com/r/AppNana/ and I normally get a few invites per week that way.
However, since I upgraded to AppNana 3.0.x (my current version 3.0.1) I have had NO invites at all. None, zero, nada, zilch! I did not change my behavior, so during work days I generally post my invitation code n6215050 on a daily basis at reddit.

Strange not to have received ANY nanas from ANYBODY for around two weeks now.
Anybody else experiencing this? I'm curious to hear from you in the comments below.

UPDATE 30-april-2015; in the meantime AppNana has upgraded itself on my phone to 3.0.2 and still no invites... :-(

AppNana updates 3.0.0 and 3.0.1

An update of the AppNana app was released on 11 Apr 2015: we jumped from version 2.5.1 to the version 3.0.0. Since there were some drastic layout changes another update fix was followed shortly after that to the current 3.0.1 on Monday Apr 13, 2015.

I know, all the above update information as posted in Google Play was already there since 2.5.1; so the makers are kind of reluctant to release what they really did.
All previous Nana Offers displayed in categories from the tab 'Get Nanas' have mostly disappeared; instead, all offers are immediately visible, the only categories that are left are 'Nana Offers' (TrialPay)  and 'Nana Offers - Videos' (AdColony).

AppNana beginners tip: reddit AppNana

On the reddit AppNana page you will find hundreds of valid codes each day. Since you need to wait until five friends have entered your code it's a good idea to post your own code on the AppNana reddit page as well.
Beware: the number of posts in reddit is restricted. You cannot post your own code all day. Also there are strict post rules; make sure you read them first.

Another tip: make sure you have read my tips to gain dozens of Appnana referrals.

Make sure to use my code n6215050 and wishing you many AppNana's!

AppNana Tips and Tricks: earned video points

I found that after viewing video adds from Appnana's 'Get Nanas' section  'Nana Offers 4 - Videos', the points were not always granted straight away. It was not very inconvenient since I had a work-around: close the AppNana app, remove it from the latest apps cache and then start AppNana app again. Normally my (small) amount of reward points  for viewing the video add would appear.

I noticed that adds by Vungle are apparently handled properly; they instantly give the points as expected after viewing. Ads from Adcolony are never visible instantly; so that's why I used the procedure as described above.

However recently I discovered a quicker shortcut to retrieve my points:
1. watch Appnana's 'Get Nanas' section  'Nana Offers 4 - Videos' and view one or more videos (you have to run them completely to earn your reward).
2. if the shown video is presented by Vungle, your reward points will be present already.
3. If the video provider is another, e.g. Adcolony, just open 'Nana Offers 1 (Recommended)' section, then use your back button (<)  to go back to the 'Get Nanas' menu. Voila! Your reward should pop-up.

Another new release: AppNana 2.5.1

An update of the AppNana app was released on 12 Feb 2015: we jumped from version 2.4.8 to the current version 2.5.1.
You can find the AppNana version number on the bottom of the 'Invite' tab.

AppNana 2.4.8 has been released

An update of the AppNana app was released on 30 Jan 2015: version 2.4.8 is the current version.
You can find the AppNana version number on the bottom of the 'Invite' tab.

Not so much has been fixed since 2.4.7: "Add more rewards for India" seems to be the only new feature.

AppNana 2.4.7 has been released

An update of the AppNana app was released on 19 Jan 2015: version 2.4.7 is the current version.
You can find the AppNana version number on the bottom of the 'Invite' tab.


AppNana announces the exact same features that were already introduced in 2.4.6.

On the Google Play 'What's New' information section they also claim'Add Random Free Nanas on Get Nanas page. Feeling Luck? Check out every day to see if you can find some random free Nanas.', but that has been around in the app for quite a while now and cannot really be called 'new'.

Furthermore they claim to 'Add Italian, Spanish, German, French languages support', but also those options were already available. So my guess (again) is that means AppNana is just improving the language files instead and having some quick bug fixes.

AppNana 2.4.6 is out!

Last weekend an update of the AppNana app was released: version 2.4.6 is the current version.
You can find the AppNana version number on the bottom of the 'Invite' tab.
Brazil has been added to the country drop-down list of the 'Rewards' tab. They added language support for (Brazilian-)Portuguese.
I also noticed as per this version the Nana Offers 3 (Recommended) returns 'Sorry, No offers'.

On the Google Play 'What's New' information section they also claim'Add Random Free Nanas on Get Nanas page. Feeling Luck? Check out every day to see if you can find some random free Nanas.', but that has been around in the app for quite a while now and cannot really be called 'new'.

Furthermore they claim to 'Add Italian, Spanisch, German, French languages support', but also those options were already available. So my guess is that means AppNana is just improving the language files instead.

Appnana version 2.4.5

Last Saturday I noticed an update of the AppNana app: version 2.4.5 had been released.
Apparently 2.4.4 has been skipped?
You can find the version number on the bottom of the 'Invite' tab.

Personally I don't see any changes. Might have been some bug fixed on the 'Random Free Nanas' on the 'Get Nanas' page, as that is announced as 'What's New' on the Google Apps page.

AppNana behind the scenes: offer suppliers

In Europe, these offers are supplied:
Nana Offers section one: the AppNana app connects to present offers hosted by aarki.net Website: http://www.aarki.com/
Nana Offers section two: advertisements are delivered by appclick.co NativeX (their privacy policy states they cannot be held liable for anything that exceeds a total of $10.00). Website: http://nativex.com/
Nana Offers section three: temporarily no offers (26-11-2014)
Nana Offers section four: videos are offered by Vungle and AdColony
Nana Offers section five: contains offers provided by TrialPay
Nana Offers section six: offers by TokenAds.
        NOTE : In my opnion this section contains very questionable contents
                     with SMS text message subscriptions.

AppNana behind the scenes: what is send with an offer?

When clicking on one of the AppNana offers from the first Appnana Offers section, when actually clicking the following is happening:

The AppNana app connects to aarki.net (to be prcecise: http://hs.aarki.net/adpick/garden), and with a lot of parameters. A lot of your personal phone information is handed out!

Here is an example of a call from my Dutch HTC phone:

&tracking_limited=n
&package_name=com.appnana.android.giftcardrewards
&country_code=NL
&current_locale=en_NL

As you can see, my AppNana number n6215050 is probably somewhere encrypted in one of the uixe, pixe, dixe and/or nixe parameters.

Aarki.net is the production advertisement domain of aarki.com, a media advertisement company.

This all seems within the bounderies of the standard AppNana app  permissions.

Is the AppNana hack for real?

At a certain moment I came across this web page; that claims to have hacked the AppNana app so one could have unlimited nanas.
Now that does sounds too good to be true.

I don't dare to mess around with my account, and personally I think this is the equivalent of stealing. So I would not recommend it to anyone or anybody.

Still, it is such an intriguing fact, that until this day I'm very curious if this is really possible?

Let me know in the comments what your opinion and/or experience is?

Is Mapiz, the creator of AppNana, safe?

Browsing to a non-existing page like http://s.mapiz.com/appjoy reveals (on 29-Oct-2014) that nginx/1.1.19 is being used. However, Nginx 1.6.2 is the current stable version.

This might make the Mapiz website possibly vulnerable.

An e-mail has been send to support@Mapiz.com at 29-10-2014 to inform them.
However, no reply was received yet.

Comments or advisories are welcome!

AppNana daily return is tricky!

There are restrictions to the daily Nana's; one need to earn enough points from offers and/or invitation codes to keep qualifying for the Daily Nanas.

AppNana claims a daily return to give you a daily bonus of 400 Nanas. However in an earlier post I found out that after 6 times the daily bonus won't work as such any longer; one need to have at least 4000 Nanas by the Nana offers or invite 3 friends.
Further more, the word 'daily' might not be exactly accurate here. The 'daily' reward is granted after 24 hours after the previous daily payout. So for example checking your AppNana app tonight at 11pm and tomorrow at 6am won't count as 2 daily visits! So it is rather a 24 hour countdown after the last reward rather than a daily visit. If you wait longer than 24 hours to log in, the new 24 hour countdown will start from that time on, not from your previous time expiration. To me it makes sense, but it's a little unexpected catch!

Which languages are supported in AppNana?

The following list of countries is supposed to be supported for the AppNana app (based on version 3.0.1 and in alphabetical order):

 Australia


Brazil

Canada

France

Germany

Great Britain / United Kingdom

India

Italy

Spain

The Netherlands

United States of America

Getting to 15,000 Nanas might be harder than you think

In my previous post "Appnana beginners tip: get to 15000-nanas" I claimed it would take one 12 days to achieve the 15,000 Nanas milestone by just having the daily bonus.

Wrong! That was a mistake, because one needs to earn at least 4000
Nanas in points.
In the example account displayed on the right I started off with a default balance of 10,400. For 6 days I managed to get 400 Nanas in daily bonus. Then at day 7 it checked if I gathered 4000 Nanas via the 'Get Nanas' page offers. Or have 3 friends that enter my invitation code. Again, I need more friends! Add my code n6215050 and I will try to return the favor as much as I can!
