CloudPlayer™ by doubleTwist

Android Police coverage: CloudPlayer From doubleTwist Is A Slick Way To Play Music From Your Favorite Cloud Storage

Google and Amazon give you free storage of music in the cloud, but they don't make it easy to work with your songs once you've uploaded them. If you'd prefer to simply throw songs on "dumb" storage like Dropbox or Google Drive, DoubleTwist will give you a way to play it quickly and easily. Most of the more advanced functions from the original DoubleTwist player are present in CloudPlayer, along with a snazzy new Material Design interface and support for both downloads and streaming.

CloudPlayer is a revolutionary music player that puts you in control of your music, no matter where it's stored. Use it as a traditional music player or link your Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive to create a giant cloud jukebox for all your music. Stream or download songs from your cloud accounts for offline playback. Enjoy built-in AirPlay and Chromecast support, hi-fidelity lossless sound, 10-band EQ and more.

Shoot

Android Police coverage: BitTorrent Launches Shoot, A QR-Based Way To Quickly Send Files To Other Mobile Devices

Shoot is a unique peer-to-peer file transfer service that utilizes QR codes and the BitTorrent protocol. Remember those? The idea is to transfer large files without needing a cloud storage account or having to deal with email. As you might expect from BitTorrent, Shoot actually works better with multiple people accessing the file. Sending the first three files is free, after which you'll need to pony up two dollars.

Shoot makes it easy to send a big batch of photos or a large video directly from your Android device to your friends. It doesn’t matter what device they use or which network they are on: Shoot just works. Shoot is powered by BitTorrent Sync’s peer-to-peer technology, so large items are no problem. Files move directly between people without going through the cloud...and your data remains completely private.

Inputting+:Universal undo redo

Android Police coverage: [Hands-On] Inputting+ Brings Undo, Redo, And Find And Replace To Touchscreen Typing On Android

Typing on a touchscreen still sucks, even after years of it being a near-universal activity. Inputting+ hopes to make it suck less. This app runs in the background and "watches" everything you type (don't worry, it has no internet permissions and doesn't save passwords by default). You can re-enter text at any time, so you'll never lose five minutes of input to a random app crash again. A few extra tools like universal find and replace are also included.

It's 2015. Can you believe there is still no undo(ctrl+z), redo(ctrl+y), find & replace(ctrl+f) when inputting on a touchscreen? Fortunately, Inputting+ can handle this. With Inputting+, a smart floating bubble will automatically pop up when you are typing. It can help you undo, redo, find & replace text, and even quick insert clipboard history. Have you ever got a moment that you lost something very important in case of the app crash or network connection failure? Inputting Timeline can automatically collect all texts you typed in other apps to a simple timeline.

Portal - WiFi file transfers

Android Police coverage: Pushbullet Introduces Portal, A New App For Easy File Sharing Between Your Android Device And PC

Here's another file transfer app, this time for getting files from your computer onto your phone. Unlike some of the alternatives, you don't need a server app on your PC (or Mac, or Chromebook, or whatever) because it works from within a browser. Unlike some other alternatives... you can't move files from your phone to your computer. That being the case, it's hard to know why you'd want to use this over AirDroid.

Getting pictures, videos, and other files from your computer onto your phone should be quick and painless. Portal helps by making it as easy as drag and drop. Portal is very easy to use. Just open the app and pull up portal.pushbullet.com on your computer and you're ready to go. Files are transferred over your WiFi connection which mean they don't count toward your mobile data limit. This also means files are transferred very quickly (even if they're over 1 GB in size).

Clock

Android Police coverage: Google's First-Party Clock App For Android Is Now Available In The Play Store

Google's latest addition to the Play Store is something Nexus users are very familiar with: the AOSP clock app. The one uploaded to the Play Store is actually the same version included in the Android M Developer Preview, though it's not all that different from the one introduced in KitKat. The biggest advantage of posting it to the Play Store is giving easy access to owners of phones that use heavy manufacturer skins.

Enjoy Google’s material design clock experience on your Android device.

• Set alarms, add timers, and run a stopwatch

• Add your favorite cities to the World Clock pane

• Connect with Android Wear to snooze or dismiss alarms from your watch

Amazon Cloud Drive

Android Police coverage: At Last, Standard Amazon Cloud Drive App Comes To The Company's Appstore And Google Play

Amazon's Cloud Drive isn't significantly different from the services offered by Google or any of the other competitors, but Amazon does like to keep a tight hold on some of its properties (cough, Instant Video, cough), so the Android app wasn't available on the Play Store until now. Amazon Cloud Drive includes the usual retrieval and upload functions, plus previews for most standard Office documents, images, and videos.

Amazon Cloud Drive lets you easily access all of the documents, spreadsheets, music, photos and videos that you have stored in Cloud Drive from your Android device, all in one app. Preview your files within the app and share files and folders. It’s easy to get started with a 3-month free trial.

  • View all your files and folders
  • Preview documents, spreadsheets, presentations and photos
  • Play videos and music stored on your Cloud Drive
  • Share your files as links and attachments though email, message and other apps

Intel® Remote Keyboard

Android Police coverage: Intel Releases Remote Keyboard App For NUC And Compute Stick Systems

There are a lot of apps that will let you control a PC from your Android phone, so why did Intel feel the need to make a new one? Probably because the company is pushing a new generation of small form factor PCs, including full Windows machines that fit on little HDMI dongles not much bigger than a Chromecast. The pairing method is pretty ingenious: you connect the phone controller app with the PC via a QR code.

Designed for Intel® NUC and Compute Stick devices, remote control your mouse and keyboard in Windows 8.1 with your smartphone or tablet.

Medium

Android Police coverage: The Official Medium App Is Out Of Beta And Live In The Play Store For All

Medium is a website where writers from all walks of life post messages. (Get it?) There's nothing wrong with the mobile Medium site, but if you'd prefer to read or browse in a purpose-built interface, the official app is now available on Android after a long beta. Even better, you can also post to Medium... but be warned, the service is geared towards long, expansive blog posts, not tweets.

Welcome to Medium for Android. Read, recommend, highlight, and respond to stories that matter most to you.

• A simple editor allows you to quickly capture your idea and publish it on Medium.

• A beautiful, dynamic interface guides you through an endless supply of stories from a diverse sampling of writers, from world-famous authors to first-time contributors.

Curse

Android Police coverage: Gamer-Focused Chat App Curse Launches On Android... Without Voice Calling

A mobile client for gaming-related communication makes a lot of sense, if only so you don't have to pause your game or switch to another window. Curse is a multi-platform solution that's growing in popularity. It might grow just a little bit faster if its Android beta had included voice communication from the start, instead of just a social network and text chat. The developers say it's coming in a new version soon.

Curse is a fast and free communication app for gamers. Millions of gamers use Curse to stay in touch with their friends and teammates online. Messaging your friends is better than ever before with Curse's friends list, instant friend syncing, and seamless group messaging.

NBC Sports Tour de France 2015

Android Police coverage: Official Tour De France 2015 App (For US) Is Here, $20 Buys You Live Streams And Other Access

Another year, another big bike race around France. Once again NBC has the exclusive broadcast rights in the US, and once again they're milking the hell out of it with an incredibly expensive charge: $20 to stream the race to mobile, and that doesn't include the right to watch it on your computer. (Want to stream on the web? That'll be another $30, please.) It's a good thing the French are so famously good-natured, or American expatriates might be somewhat miffed.

Experience the 2015 Tour de France like never before…watch every stage LIVE on your Android handheld or tablet device. And track the peloton in real-time with interactive maps and profiles.

Vessel Beta

Android Police coverage: Vessel Comes To Android With A Subscription Service Offering Early Access To Short Videos That Will Be Free In A Few Days [Update: Includes Ads]

Vessel is basically YouTube, but faster (because certain "celebrity" uploaders post content a few days earlier) and worse (because there's nowhere near as much actual content). Oh, and you have to pay for it - about $3 a month. At least with that premium you don't have to watch ads... oh. Yeah, you have to watch ads. And all those videos will be on YouTube soon. Whose idea was this again?

Welcome to the Vessel Beta for Android. We're excited to offer the Vessel app for beta testing on Android before our full market release. Download the Vessel app and get exclusive, early access to some of the best web series, music videos and complete segments from TV for only $2.99 a month. Try Vessel free for a month. No commitments.

Colbr

Android Police coverage: The Colbr App From CBS Provides Video Clips And Audio Podcasts In Anticipation Of Stephen Colbert's September 8th 'The Late Show' Debut

Stephen Colbert is taking over The Late Show after Letterman. It's kind of a big deal. This is the official Colbert app... which for some reason is named "Colbr." It's for fans who are sad that The Colbert Report is off the air and literally cannot wait for his tenure on CBS to start. Video clips, podcasts, and social content is included. Go nuts, America.

Finally. A reason for the Internet. The new Colbr app brings you the latest from the upcoming "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." Featuring full-color comedy videos, medium-fidelity behind-the-scenes podcasts, and several other things. Colbr: the best way to follow Stephen Colbert without risking a restraining order.

Kitchen Stories

As someone whose greatest culinary achievement is that one time I popped an entire bag of popcorn with only three raw kernels left, I don't get much use out of cooking shows or apps. But for those who do, Kitchen Stories looks like one of the better options for new recipes, instructional videos, and... I dunno, egg beater recommendations? The app can load up a recipe and generate a shopping list from the ingredients, which might actually inspire me to give this stuff a try.

Loved by millions of users, Kitchen Stories offers aspiring and seasoned chefs alike the opportunity to hone their cooking skills and discover delicious new recipes and cooking inspiration. All Recipes are easy to recreate and come with beautiful pictures, easy to follow step-by-step photo instructions, recipe videos, and clever how-to videos – all completely FREE of charge.

Ticklr - Ticker notifications

Android 5.0 formally introduced Heads Up notifications, the little pop-up windows that appear when notifications come in while you're actually using your phone. It also got rid of the ticker text in the notification bar, the 4.4 and under equivalent. If you prefer the status quo, this app will bring back the old style and disable Heads Up, plus a few extra tweaks for the paid "pro" version.

Ticklr provides ticker notifications for Android Lollipop users

• Ticker notifications for each app

• Custom colors

• Disable heads-up notifications, automatically disable system heads-up notifications

• Ticker on lockscreen

• Wake the screen for a short time when receiving a notification

• Custom settings for each app (PRO)

• More settings, max lines, scroll speed, ... (PRO)

Indiloop

Indiloop takes a traditional approach to music remixing: while the interface is tuned for easy manipulation on mobile, it's also surprisingly powerful. All of the basic tools you'd expect to find are included in the drag-and-drop UI, plus a sort of baked-in social network for listening to and downloading other users' mixes. Unfortunately some severe bugs are dragging Google Play reviews down, and the in-app purchases can add up quickly.

Indiloop has created the easiest way to remix music ever. It’s so easy to use you will be remixing music in no time. Indiloop’s easy to use drag & drop interface allows you to drag music from your favorite songs into the mixer then watch them snap together in the same BPM, and Key. Remixing music really has never been this easy. Download the app and you will be remixing music in minutes.

Fanly - Sports Feeds by Team

If you can't get enough sports news from Google News, ESPN, the sports section of your national news app, the sports app of your national news provider, or just generally browsing the web, now there's this. Fanly delivers team-specific news and highlights from most of the major American sports, along with social news from players and other prominent figures on Twitter. Right now the developers don't seem interested in international sports - sorry, curling, hurling, and jai alai fans.

Fanly has the best news feeds for all your favorite teams, all-in-one place and everywhere you go. It's the easiest way to check-in on all your teams with stories from over 2,000 top sources updated daily. No more flipping through multiple apps or having to visit several different sites to get your daily fix. We've got all your teams covered and all-in-one place. Fanly is about making it easier to be a fan and saving everyone a ton of time.

Redub

Redub is another one of those minimal video editors, but this time it's designed specifically to let you put your own voice into popular videos (or, I suppose, your own). The impressive user interface allows for some recreational fun, and the app's browsing feature lets you watch other people's efforts if you're really bored.

Its never been this easy to make epic music videos.

1. Select your favourite video clip

2. Record your own version of it

3. Mix videos with awesome effects

Microsoft Channel 9

Microsoft has a developer web channel? Apparently so, and in keeping with the company's new "everything everywhere" policy, we get an official app on Android. Nice.

Provides a way to browse and view videos on a variety of developer and consumer topics from the Channel9.msdn.com web site.

brightwheel

Hey kids, wouldn't it be cool if your school had a teacher-mandated social network that your parents could snoop on whenever they wanted, including your photos and conversations? That's the idea behind Brightwheel, which seems to be a solution in search of a problem. This is an app that lets teachers, nannies, and other guardians track kids more or less down to the minute, including updates for attendance, naps, or even bathroom breaks. Yeah, it's kinda creepy.

Brightwheel is everything you need for your preschool or daycare, all in one simple app. It’s easy to get started and free for schools, teachers, and parents. Schools: manage your classrooms, track attendance, share photos, manage billing and send paperless invoices, and easily communicate with parents.

BBC Newsbeat

The grand old Beeb feels the need to market its news to "millenials," whatever that means... and apparently it means magazine-style content that's pretty much the same crap you'd see in Buzzfeed or Gawker. (But with a better accent.) NewsBeat is an app full of last week's Reddit stories with some nice formatting and easy links to share them on Facebook, plus some Instagrams, because that's what them darn kids like these days.

Get the news that matters to millennials, brought to you by BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra’s news team. The Newsbeat app will make you laugh and make you think. We’re first with stories which affect you, music and entertainment news, social trends and big interviews. We cover politics, money, jobs, technology, gaming, clubbing, student issues, sexual health and anything else you’re interested in.

Localeur – The Best in Local

Raise your hand if you need another local business recommendation app. Come on, don't be shy... well, here's one anyway. Localeur bills itself as a "local's insider guide" to food and entertainment, but it's hard to see how that differs greatly from competing apps and services - aren't most of the people who review a Chinese place on Yelp "locals?"

For the first time ever, Localeur is available for download to your Android device. Now you have access to thousands of recommendations on where to eat, drink and play in major U.S. cities with every single recommendation coming directly from a local.Learn about the best places in your own city or the cities you visit, save favorites and make to-go lists, and check out the places your friends love too.

WordKik Child

Parents spying on children is an ancient tradition, and Google's parental controls don't really do a whole lot in that respect. This app (when paired with the parental control panel) does: it sends you an alert when your kid searches for a trigger word, detects adult phrases in other apps, blocks adult content on the web, and the upgraded version can remotely lock your kid's phone.

WordKik Child protects your child's phone or tablet, it prevents your child from seeing adult content on their android browser like Google Chrome. If you are afraid that your child might see adult content download WordKik Child on their phone or tablet to keep them safe. WordKik Child is controlled and monitored using WordKik Parental Control from the parents phone/tablet. WordKik Child filters data locally so your child's information is kept safe.

Sofia the First Color and Play

Disney continues its two-front attack to try and slowly take over the world one little girl at a time: Frozen on one side, Sofia the First on the other. This app is basically an interactive coloring book, but it includes an admirable amount of drawing and shading tools - probably more than the average kindergarten playroom, at any rate. Other mini-games should keep them entertained for a few hours on a long trip. The app is pricey at $5, but has no in-app purchases.

Color and play to your artist's delight with this all-new, super-fun creativity app from Disney. Let your imagination take over as you paint everything in Sofia’s Royal Bedroom and Cedric's Lab, even Sofia and Clover. Then, watch it all come to life in amazing 3D. Customize your textures with the in-app camera, and let your inner artist shine in this magical 3D coloring experience.

Inside Out Storybook Deluxe

Inside Out is Pixar's oddly surreal tale of anthropomorphic emotions, and this is the official story book for the movie. It consists of a few pages of basic read-along text for kids to practice phonics and some fairly benign mini-games. There's also a sort of Flash theater for playing out basic stories, not to mention the usual batch of animations and sound clips. The app is a whopping $7, which might actually be more expensive than an Inside Out coloring book at the supermarket.

Let your Emotions run wild as you journey through the Storybook Deluxe retelling of Disney•Pixar’s original feature film, INSIDE OUT.

• Interact with the five Emotions—Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear, and Anger—to discover how they see the world.

• Create your own memory spheres with your own pictures, colors, effects, and sounds.

• Create hilarious dreams in Dream Productions—using animals, astronauts, dentists, and more.

• Read on your own, record your own voice, or read along with the narration that accompanies this retelling of INSIDE OUT.

• Creative activities to express your emotions, dreams, and imagination.

• Features clips and quotes from the actual film.

• Fun and surprising interactions with characters from the film.

Manufacturer And Tie-In Apps

Game Recorder+

Android Police coverage: Samsung's Game Recorder+ App Creates Gameplay Videos (With Internal Audio On The GS6 And GS6 Edge), But There Are Some Kinks To Work Out

Now that Twitch has demonstrated that there's big money in recording game footage, everyone wants in, and not just when it comes to web services. Samsung's first-party app makes it easy to record game video. It can even handle the video if you happen to use a Galaxy S5 or S6 Edge... but everyone else (assuming they have a recent Sammy flagship) is restricted to microphone audio. It's a free download on the Galaxy S4, S5, S6, S6 Edge, Note 2, Note 3, and Note 4.

Record and share your greatest gaming moments with Game Recorder+, the best game recording application for your GALAXY. Capture your game play and face-cam commentary with a single touch on the record button. Game Recorder+ can record game audio directly from the source without any background noises. (Only supported in GALAXY S6 / S6 Edge). "Game Boost" feature will optimize the system memory on the get-go, providing the best gaming and recording experience.

UE ROLL

Android Police coverage: Ultimate Ears Announces The UE ROLL, The Successor To The Mini BOOM

Ultimate Ears makes some nice Bluetooth speakers, especially if you can find them on sale. This is a management app for the new UE Roll, a new speaker that actually can roll (just don't try to make it bounce). Like the apps for the previous speakers in the line, it includes an equalizer, an alarm clock function, and the ability to play a phone's music through two UE Roll speakers at the same time.

You'd never walk all the way to your TV to turn it on and you shouldn't have to with your wireless speaker either. Use the UE ROLL app to control the party from afar and to unlock an expanding set of cool additional features like Double Up, our musical alarm and fully customizable 5-band EQ. UE ROLL app features include:

  • Double Up – Wirelessly Double Up with a second UE ROLL and take your party to 11. Use the app to control the balance and to choose between Stereo or Double sound. Double Up also works with UE BOOM and UE MEGABOOM.
  • Remote Control – Use the app as a remote control to power your UE ROLL on/off from afar.
  • Alarm - Start last night's party all over again–every morning. UE ROLL wakes you up with your favorite songs, Spotify playlists, Pandora stations and more. Because the party never actually stops–you just pass out.
  • Customizable 5-band EQ - Use the fully customizable five-band equalizer to custom-tune the sound so it's just right for you. Need a little more bass? Done. More highs and mids?. No problem. You set it how you like it.

MICA Connect

Intel's MICA wearable is baffling. It's a fashion-first product that sells for $500, complete with inlaid semi-precious stones. Its specs are so inconsequential that Intel barely mentions anything beyond a built-in GSM radio (the thing doesn't actually need to talk to your phone). So what's this app for then? Basically it forwards SMS messages and other notifications through the Internet. It might make more sense if the thing itself wasn't so ugly.

The MICA Connect application allows you to link your Android phone to your MICA so you can text any of your Android contacts from the MICA. Your private MICA number can still be kept exclusive, and your contacts won’t even know you are using your MICA. MICA Connect will even let you know if you missed a call on your phone and keep you informed on your phones status. This application will only work if you have a MICA.

Smart B-Trainer for Running

Sony has a pair of headphones that also include a built-in MP3 player and heart monitor. This is the official app that lets you manage them, along with the usual run tracking and logging. Oddly, the app seems to have been enabled worldwide despite the fact that the SSE-BTR1 headphones aren't available outside of Asia.

Smart B-Trainer is a new type of “Smart Sports Gear” which combines fitness tracker and music player. It can log your fitness stats and choose music based on your performance to make your training more effective and fun. “Smart B-Trainer for Running” is an app for running and training that works with Smart B-Trainer (SSE- BTR1). In addition to recording and managing running logs, it provides various training plans.

Dynamics Time Management

Apparently Microsoft makes a timecard manager too. Who knew?

Microsoft Dynamics Time Management is a tablet application that enables users of Microsoft Dynamics GP to create, view, edit and submit timecards. The application offers users the flexibility to manage vacation and sick time in Payroll or enter time against benefit time codes if using Human Resources. Microsoft Dynamics Time Management integrates with Microsoft Dynamics GP through Service Based Architecture (SBA).

WTF App(s) Of The Week

Tindog

Android Police coverage: Tindog Is Tinder For Dogs, Seriously

Tinder is a dating app that famously enables the more shallow parts of human nature with its "swipe left or right" UI. Tindog is the same thing... for dogs. For some reason. Even Lassie couldn't read or operate electronics, so it's not clear whether the app is actually for dogs or simply shallow owners, who may or may not be qualified to evaluate the sexual prowess of strange dogs. Besides, Lassie wouldn't judge a boy-dog on his appearance alone - she was a classy lady.

Introducing Tindog, the first application that both dogs and dog owners love equally. Give your dog an exciting opportunity to make new friends near you. Chat, share photos and meet other dog lovers in your area. Swipe left to ignore and right to like and get instant matches. Start having fun today. Tindog… not only for dogs.
