1.0 out of 5 stars Missing permission USER_HOUSE_KEYS to complete mission of the app.... April 25, 2012

By HearsAmazon

The developer's intentions for the data collected in this app (and their bubble game as well) are so obvious it's almost laughable that he took out a few in in an attempt to draw attention away from it. On Google,there are permissions in it that actually say after their explanation "never required by normal apps." The ability to turn your device on/off whenever they feel like it (to data mine at 3 a.m.)? Permission to change screen orientation on your device whenever they feel they want control over it? If I list them all and their associated explanations, it would take 2 hours.

This app is the poster child for data mining and developer arrogance. I don't recall ever seeing one that gets much worse than this. RUN -- DO NOT WALK -- AWAY FROM THIS APP.

2.0 out of 5 stars What's the difference between a dog and a basketball player? April 25, 2012

(One drools, the other dribbles.)

The title of this app is "Slam Dunk Basketball", but at no point do you ever do anything even close to a slam dunk. It's just shooting hoops. Nothing more. You don't even have an opponent to play HORSE against.

The controls are a bit tricky and several times the ball simply vanished after I tried to shoot it.

Just tapping on the screen shooting the ball randomly, I made 55 points. Trying to shoot carefully, I scored only 49 points. Not much of a game if you can score more points with button mashing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slam Dunk???? April 25, 2012

By C. Buchanan

For some reason, the name of the game, and the actual game play are world's apart! It's more of a shooting game, then slam dunks. Kind of disappointed me with that.

The game play is decent, once you get the hang of it though. Give it 4 stars, although the name is misleading a tad bit.
