Amazon AdMash

3.6 out of 5 stars 98 ratings
Step into the driver's seat and tell us which sponsored screensavers you'd like to see on Kindle with Special Offers. Anyone can vote; it's fun and easy.

Here's how it works. AdMash will show you two different screensavers and then ask you to vote for the one you like best. Scrutinize them or go with your gut, it's up to you. Once you've made your choice, it's on to the next round. The ones that get the most votes can become Kindle Sponsored Screensavers. It's up to you and the rest of the community to pick your favorites.

Download AdMash and start voting now. Play as often as you like and we'll keep adding new screensavers for you to vote on.

    5.0 out of 5 stars If you don't have the Kindle with Special Offers, this app likely isn't for you.
    Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    This app is to vote on which version of an ad (not which ads, but which version of an ad) will appear in the future on the Kindle with Special Offers (KSO). It does what it's meant to do.

    You do not get to choose which *types* of ads appear, nor do you get to choose which pictures display on a non-KSO, nor can you upload custom screensavers. This is simply a fun little app where you can vote on which version of a pre-selected ad (one that Amazon has already chosen as a future Special Offer) you like best. That's it.

    PSA: People who do not want ads on the screensaver and on a ribbon across the bottom of the Home page(s) should NOT buy the KSO. If you don't have a KSO, you're not getting the ads, so there's no logical reason to have the AdMash app to vote on them. Don't give neg reviews on the app if what you hate is having ads on a Kindle. Just don't buy a Kindle with Special Offers.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Does what it's intended to do, but could include a lot more features.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2011

    ** Warning, Warning **
    if your expecting this to be some big and exciting app with lots of features and comparisons; don't bother. This is a real basic app that allows you to select which version of the same ad you like better.

    This app will not allow you to manage or change ads on your device. Also, this does not allow you to vote on new screen savers for you Non- special offers Kindle. Maybe this might stir up some possibilities for the future.

    Since you are voting on and ad that will be coming soon, you'll be getting a heads up on the new deals coming down the pipe.

    A no bells and whistles app that does 1 simple thing. It does take a couple of seconds for the images to load, but that's because it's downloading the images. Obviously, it has to get the new advertisements somehow.

    I think the app should incorporate a display of votes so we can see which is more popular and which might actually win. Maybe also a voting option for what special offers people would like to see in the future.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Who Wants to See Ads on Their Kindle?
    Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    I thought this was about getting the opportunity to vote on new screen savers for our Kindles but didn't realize it was about looking at ADVERTISEMENTS!!!!! The pages you get to vote on aren't like the beautiful serene screen savers we look at now, rather they are ads to compare that aren't even attractive by the way. Plus the program runs slowly so it is a total waste of my time!! I recommend you save your time and forget about this app. I find this to be an insult to the whole Kindle concept. I cringe at the day I'll have to look at ads on my Kindle.

    On a side note, I wish Amazon would rather spend their money on putting links on their book pages so someone can send quickly and easily send emails to friends recommending books. This would spread the word about kindle books in a much more positive way and build their product awareness better.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Simple and straightforward Kindle app but does not square off competing promotions
    Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    This Kindle app is probably of interest only to owners of the Kindle SO (Kindle with Special Offers). The app shows two competing ads for the same promotion, and you vote which one you like best, or you can vote Neither, giving neither one a vote of confidence. There is no option to vote Both. The Next and Previous page buttons move you through the ads, and the 5-way controller is used to vote.

    Ads shown are both from Amazon and from outside advertisers (such Oil of Olay). You can see multiple ad duets per session, and when you reach the end you can start again. Sometimes there are more than two ads per promotion, so in subsequent sessions you get different match ups. It's like playoffs for Kindle ads? :-)

    Pressing the HOME button at any time takes you out of the AdMash. The MENU button is not used, pressing it does nothing.

    One perhaps extra benefit is that you may be able to see what promotions are coming up in the future before they launch. The apps shown include an up to 20% off HDTVs and 50% off lighted Kindle covers.

    The app for what it is gets 4 stars, it is simple and straightforward.

    So why the three stars? Because you can only give feedback on competing ads for the same promotion. You cannot vote on competing promotions. When they initially announced this Kindle app, I thought you would be able to vote on competing promotions. So if more people wanted to see gadgets (or beauty products, or Kindle accessories, etc) featured as Kindle SO promotions, their voting feedback would send that instruction to Amazon's deal makers.

    This app is free to get, but realistically I doubt people who are not a Kindle SO owners would be interested in it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It is called ADmash...
    Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    I have a Kindle SO so I am the customer this is aimed at. I like getting preview of upcoming offers; I know to hold off on buying something if I can preview the ad. The app is called ADmash so logically it's going to be about advertisments.

    The only thing I would like to add is a "Both" option, Currently there is A, Neither, B Doesn't happen often but occassionly I do like both screensavers.

    There hasn't been any ad I thought was truly hideous, boring or odd maybe, but not hideous. It's a fun little app that I go thru twice a week and have fun with.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Don't accuse AdMash!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    @Cheyenne2u: It's MUCH better to have ads on your Kindle than pictures of creepy dead authors. You are lucky, all the non-SO people would like ads a lot.
    And, in defense of AdMash and the ads, at least you get to vote on the ads wheras with the default screensavers there is no choice and the best ones are the butterflies and the ones with the descriptions of Kindle on them. Seriouly, who wants a picture of Emily Dickinson on their screen? I don't mean that I don't like her work, but the picture creeps me out.
    Anyway, I don't think people should accuse AdMash for the screensavers, that's all. Gave it four stars because that's what I think about it.
