This week's Android Apps Weekly show is brought to you by Paralign. Paralign is a social media style application that keeps things really simple. You can post various things, assign them a mood, and then send them into the ether for others to read. Others will, in turn, send stuff out that you read. You can show interest or even message back if you want to make a new friend.
The app has a simple and colorful design that is both easy to use and pleasing to look at. It's a great way to get some stuff off your mind or just write down whatever comes to you. The app will also try to pair what you say and your mood with similar thoughts and moods if the app can find some. For now, it's a completely free download with no in-app purchases. Check it out and show your support for the Android Apps Weekly show!

Headlines this week
- ASICS, the well-known sportswear company has announced that they're going to buy Runkeeper. This followers in the footsteps of other sportswear companies such as UnderArmor acquiring Endomondo and ADIDAS buying Runtastic. We don't know how much they paid for it.
- Facebook Messenger is primed to get a huge Material Design update in the near future. However, that's not all its getting. Testers of the app are reporting that Facebook is also working on multi-account support as well as SMS and MMS integration, which is kind of funny considering Hangouts abandoned that feature just a few weeks ago.
- Telltale Games announced this week that they're going to be releasing a new episodic adventure based around Michonne's character in The Walking Dead. If it's anything like their prior games based around the series, then this one is going to be awesome. The release date is February 25th.
- Twitter is now trying out a new Facebook-style algorithm that will try to show you relevant tweets that you actually want to read. So far, the reaction has been polarizing because some people love it and others hate it. However, if you end up with it, you can disable it in the settings menu so at least it can be turned off.
- It was rumored this week that Opera, makers of the famous browser, could be bought by Chinese investors for $1.2 billion. This comes on the heels of another announcement about an exclusive premium apps club where subscription members can download all the apps they want for a price.
- Supercell, makers of Clash of Clans, has announced that their upcoming card game called Clash Royale. It's a Clash of Clans themed card game that will compete in the space with Magic 2016, Hearthstone, and similar games. The release date is currently set for March.
- Marshmallow brought a lot of improvements, but one of the better ones was app permissions. It is currently rumored that Android Wear could be receiving app permissions as well to help you keep control over that device on your wrist. Doze mode is rumored to be tagging along as well.
