Android Apps Weekly

Hound leaves beta, new Play Store rules, Clash Royale for all! - Android Apps Weekly
Sponsored by: Pander
This week's episode of the Android Apps Weekly show is sponsored by Pander. Pander is an up and coming delivery service that brings food straight to your door. It starts by asking you questions about what kind of food you like and then delivers recommendations based on your individual tastes. As your order and use the app, Pander will improve its suggestions to you.
The app uses a very attractive card-based design that is both colorful and efficient. Ordering stuff and then checking out is pretty easy and the app tells you before you do anything whether or not their service is available in your area. It's entirely free to download so give it a shot and show your support for Android Apps Weekly.
Download from the Google Play Store!

Headlines this week
  • The Android N developer preview is live and one of the more exciting features is dual window support for apps. This includes a fun feature where you can drag and drop text between windows for easy copy and pasting. It looks like fun, but it's a little buggy for now.
  • Another new app-related feature of Android N will be faster app optimization. Google plans on removing that annoying app optimization box after a system update and will instead perform that process in the background after the phone boots. Apps will open a bit slower for a bit, but eventually it'll all work as it did before.
  • Android N also introduced a new Data Saver mode where you can prevent apps (and the OS in general) from using data in the background or while your device screen is off. This is extremely handy and you can whitelist apps so they work as normal. This is a welcome improvement.
  • Supercell, developers of Clash of Clans and Clash Royale, released an ad to announce that they have over 100 million people who play their games every day. That's quite an achievement, especially considering that Supercell only has four games and 14 games that they axed before release. The ad is pretty funny also.
  • Google is tinkering with the idea of adding in-app purchases to Google Cardboard content. Despite the fact that people hate them, in-app purchases account for over 90% of revenue in the Play Store and Google wants to entice more developers for Cardboard. We don't know when it'll happen, but it'll happen eventually.
  • Late last week, some new research came to light that 77% of people never use an app again 72 hours after installing it. The study found that the most successful apps were ones that users engaged in regularly as opposed to ones that had specific functions. Of course, Google apps were not included in the study since you can't really uninstall them anymore.
  • Android Authority is now on Snapchat! Come check us out and follow us for all kinds of fun content!
  • If you have any questions about what Android Pay is and how to use it, Krystal answers them with her deep dive into Android Pay!
  • Jonathan Feist's latest Android Customization post shows you how to use Gravity Box to create a one-click clear-all button in the recent apps menu, something missing from stock Marshmallow.
