This is the app roundup. The game roundup from this week can be found here.

Apps

Android Police coverage: Boomerang For Gmail Brings Full Client To Android – Schedule Messages, Remind Yourself To Follow Up, And More
Boomerang has been making the rounds on the web for a few years now, allowing Gmail and other email service users to schedule mailings for themselves. The mobile version does the same thing, though it's limited to Gmail alone for the time being. It will function perfectly well as a standard email client, too, though its claim to be better than Gmail itself is a matter of opinion.

Presenter Mobile
Android Police coverage: [New App] Adobe's Presenter Mobile Brings Fully Usable Presenter Materials Right To Your Tablet
Adobe's Presenter program is sort of a next-generation PowerPoint... that doesn't suck. The mobile component will call down a presentation from its web URL and show it on your tablet (and only tablets), complete with video and audio, surveys, and feedback. Of course you'll need a copy of Presenter for PC or Mac to use the app, but if you already have it, the mobile version is free.
Presenter Mobile application makes Adobe Presenter contents available on Android tablets.

Beautiful Timer
Beautiful Timer is pretty much exactly what it claims to be: a timer app that's drop-dead gorgeous. Just look at those screenshots down there. Especially the fourth one. Mmm, yeah, I'd like to take this timer to bed. And then wake up with it 90 minutes later. Multiple timers and expandable notifications are all included, plus a 60 or 90 second quick timer, homescreen widget, and air gesture snooze button if you spring for the pro version via a $2 IAP.

Brightness
Android Police coverage: Ever Wish You Could Dim Your Screen Below "0% Brightness" Sometimes? There's An App For That
How can you have -100% brightness on your device? "Brightness" manages it, thanks to some hardware tricks and a few screen overlays. If you really need an extreme range of brightness and darkness for your device's screen. The app itself is more like a widget (though not technically) since its only input is via a pop-up window, activated by a shortcut on your homescreen, app drawer, or notification shade.
Is your screen too bright at night? Do you want precise control over your screen brightness? Where other apps only allow you to vary the brightness from 0% to 100%, we developed an application which allows you to change the brightness from -100% (dimmed) to +100% (very bright). No more eye blindness at night caused by your screen.
Yandex.Browser
Android Police coverage: Yandex Launches Its Own Browser Predictably Called Yandex.Browser, Caters To Large Screens With Bottom URL-Nav Bar
Yandex, Google's biggest competitor in Russia, has been making a big push for Android as of late. After creating their own app store and launcher, they're back with a bowser. While the creatively-named Yandex.Browser can't really compete with Chrome on features, it does use a bottom orientation for the navigation bar, making it easier to use on the monstrous phablets lining store shelves.
A simple and intuitive browser for Android smartphones. All you favorite websites are only one tap away, while data compression technology loads pages quickly even with a slow mobile internet connection.
- Combined search and address bar for URLs and search queries.
- The search and address bar is located at the bottom of the screen right at your fingertips.
- Instant access to your favorite sites
- Yandex will list all the sites you visit most frequently in Tablo,
- You can also customize the sites displayed in Tablo.- Turbo technology lets Yandex.Browser compress webpages so they not only load more quickly even if your internet connection speed drops, but also saves on data.
TWRP Manager
Android Police coverage: TWRP Manager App Released In Public Alpha For Team Win Recovery Project Users
The Team Win Recovery Project is an alternative recovery (the thing that lets you back up and flash ROMs) made for innumerable devices. The TWRP Manager is like the ROM Manager for said recovery, allowing users to set a number of actions in Android, then let the recovery go to work without bothering with the clunky pre-OS interface. The app is in the alpha stage at the moment, and both the interface and functionality are a little bare-bones.
This app allows you to Install, Backup, Restore, and Wipe your device all using TWRP. This utilizes OpenRecoveryScript to complete these actions. More features will be added as this progresses. Remember, this is Alpha. We are not responsible for ANY type of data loss. Use at your own risk
dialapp : context aware dialer
Android Police coverage: dialapp Promises To Guess Who You Want To Call, Enhance Your Call History With 'Magical' Context-Powered List
Google Now has gotten pretty good at guessing what you're doing and what you want to know at any given time, so why not extend that functionality to your phone's dialer? dialapp "learns" your calling patterns through location and time, presenting your contract list in an order that's more likely to match what you're actually doing. It's a neat idea, especially if you've got a whole lot of phone contacts to juggle.
How much have dialers evolved since the original phone? Very little. What if instead of the call history, you could see the list of people you're actually going to call now? Why not make it more smart ? Yeah, what if the phone magically predicts whom you would call based on your context; your location, time, calendar, conversations etc. Adding context makes for an intelligent dialer. Dialapp does, exactly, that. Fast, simple, contextual and magical.
Aviate Alpha (Invite Only)
...and Aviate will do the same thing for your installed apps. It's an alternative launcher with a twist: the idea is that the combined homescreen/app drawer will dynamically change throughout the day, based on your usage patterns. Aviate isn't a one-trick pony, it can handle a few contextual widgets as well: weather and schedules for the morning, traffic for when you're driving, et cetera. The app is currently in the alpha stage.
You can sign up inside the Aviate app or on our website: http://www.getaviate.com. Aviate automatically categorizes all of your apps, and intelligently rearranges your homescreen throughout the day to dynamically give you the apps and information you need most, at precisely the moment you need it.
- Wake up, and Aviate automatically brings you weather and your meetings for the day
- When driving, Aviate automatically gives you traffic and directions home
- Out to dinner, Aviate automatically shows you photos, tips and reviews for your favorite restaurant.
GrabCAD
Android Police coverage: [New App] GrabCAD Makes Online CAD Collaboration Simple, Extends Access To Online Community
Computer-aided design is AWESOME... and still a little beyond the reach of even the most powerful mobile hardware. This app lets you browse and view the GrabCAD database of CAD models and view them in 3D. You can also leave comments for your fellow 3D designers, or upload photos to your workbench, though they'll have to be in decidedly unfabulous 2D.
For the first time, Android users have access to any 3D CAD models from their mobile devices. The GrabCAD mobile app offers access to both the GrabCAD public library of CAD models as well as private projects stored on GrabCAD Workbench. Using the app you can:
• View CAD models in full 3D, regardless of the format they were created in
• View and respond to comments that Workbench collaborators have made
• Upload photos to a Workbench project
Eyeprint App Lock Beta
Android Police coverage: [New App] Where'd Ya Get Those Peepers? EyeVerify Eyeprint Beta Scans Veins In Your Eye To Unlock Apps
Welcome to the future, folks: you can now use a retinal scan to unlock your phone. Sort of. It's not a true retinal scan (it reads the blood vessels in the corner of your eyes, not the retina) and it's only compatible with a handful of high-end phones at the moment. also, it doesn't lock your phone, just the apps on your phone. And the setup and unlock functions are pretty tedious, forcing you to look both ways like a shifty cartoon bad guy before granting access. Not exactly Mission Impossible stuff. Still, eye-scanning cell phones! Future! Yeah!
Free App Lock for 30 days - using the most advanced biometric available on smartphones. Available on the Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4, Note 2 and the HTC One. NOW USING THE FRONT FACING CAMERA Secure and protect your most private and confidential apps with the amazing scientific power of eye vein biometrics - The Eyeprint. Be the first to try the brand new beta of this safety and security app from EyeVerify. Protect your privacy by locking your messages, banking app, photos, SMS or contacts.
Scatter - Fast File Sync
Android Police coverage: [New App] Scatter, From Developer Of AIDE, Automatically Syncs Data Between Your PC And Android Device Over A Secure P2P Connection
Dropbox and Google Drive (and about a million other cloud-based storage apps) are nice, but they use conventional methods to keep your files synced. Scatter does the same thing, but the files themselves won't be sitting in a server repository somewhere, they exist only on your PC and devices. Which is better, I suppose, if you're concerned about someone nefarious gaining access through less than legitimate means.
Scatter is a fast and secure data and file syncing service for Android, Windows and iOS. Keep your photos, videos, hyperlinks, text-snippets or any other files in sync across all of your devices and your PC and have Scatter transfer them automatically. The data is stored on your devices only, so your privacy is guaranteed. Scatter syncs data directly between your devices and your PC using the local WiFi connection if possible without taking a detour through the cloud. The data is stored on your devices, so you have fast access even when on the go with a poor Internet connection.
CloudCube
You have lots of data spread out across several free cloud storage apps. CloudCube lets you manage files in multiple services at once. You can instantly see how much data is being used on each one, and even transfer files or entire folders between them. Google Drive, Dropbox, Box.net, and SkyDrive are supported, among others.
CloudCube is the powerful management tool for for browse and sync data with your cloud storages. Unique features will allow you to do any work with your storages quickly, simply and easy: Look through files at once several storages at the same time - forget about "two-panel" modes with unique feature "group viewing" which will allow you to work with any number of storages as though this one. Download, modify and upload your files without any delays – application will react to any your actions immediately, no matter if you have internet connection or not. Download and upload folders entirely – application will do recursive bypass of folders and will make download/upload of any found files.
iSeeNotes - sheet music OCR!
Optical character recognition is one of those Star Trek technologies that's finally starting to take hold in the real world. That said, it's still a bit limited - text needs to be clear and orderly even for the best OCR programs to transform it into usable type. iSeeNotes takes the idea to the musical realm, reading sheet music and storing it in an editable format for musicians and singers. The full version is four bucks, but you can try a free demo here.
Note: Music recognition is a difficult problem. This app does not support the complete set of notation, for instance whole notes and the alto clef are not recognized. Depending on how the print looks and the quality of the photo the app may have trouble recognizing the notes and symbols correctly - do not expect perfect results.
twheel for Twitter
Android Police coverage: [New App] Twheel Put A Circular Spin On your Twitter Feed, Aims To help You Discover New People To Follow
Twheel is a unique way to interact with Twitter: new tweets come in a wheel, and you spin it like a game show contestant to read individual tweets. Bars and colors transmit crucial information about read status and popularity. The timeline is the most odd function: it's a spiral, even though it looks like a circle. Points for creativity, guys, but if you need a Powerpoint diagram to show your users how to use your app, it may have an interface problem.
twheel™ is a Social Discovery Tool, powered by the revolutionary wheel UI that highlights the important signals in your Twitter stream. Behind the discovery powers of twheel™ is the great hive mind of all twheel™ users, making the endless stream of tweets manageable on the mobile. twheel™ provides you with a single destination for staying up-to-date with your Twitter stream, and brings you select content, such as the best comedy in the galaxy, latest breaking news, and more.
Si Evolution
Android Police coverage: Snapkey's Si Evolution Keyboard (Now Out Of Beta) Makes For A Great Brain Teaser, Still Sucks For Typing
So the concept for Snapkey's Si Evolution is kind of crazy: tiny, contextual floating mini-boards will slide your letters into place while being mostly transparent. It takes a lot of getting used to for anyone who's become accustomed to the standard QWERTY overlay, but hey, at least they're trying something new. The keyboard app is most definitely still in the beta stage.
A simple, smart alphabetic keyboard for any age that frees up your whole screen changing the future of mobile socializing. Unlike the old cumbersome keyboard designed for typewriters and not mobile phones, Si Evolution has a few keys with an alphabetical arrangement which is familiar to the whole world regardless of language and culture. Any user can type instantly while viewing the entire touch screen. Si Evolution alphabetical keyboard puts an end to QWERTY.

WATCH ABC
Android Police coverage: [New App] Official Watch ABC App Promises Full TV Shows, Probably Doesn't Work On Your Device Yet
ABC is giving the broadcasting middle finger to Hulu and allowing users to watch shows via their own programming app. Which is great... if you use one of the few devices that the app seems to work with. If you do, prepare to catch up on Castle all at once. Viewers in a few US cities can watch live video, but only while in the local station's service area.
WATCH ABC is a new way to experience ABC - anytime, anywhere.* Whether you’re at home or out and about, you can enjoy your favorite ABC TV shows, sports, and local news & weather on your smartphone, tablet, or computer - LIVE** and ON DEMAND.

Bellator MMA
The second screen paradigm for live TV is growing, and now Spike's in-your-face MMA franchise wants a piece of the action. While Bellator MMA won't let you actually watch the show (man, wouldn't that be nice?) it will give you all the relevant fighter stats and polls for the outcome of each night's bouts.

Rockmelt: Best of Web & News
Android Police coverage: Rockmelt Launches Official Android App, Allows You To Browse Stuff On The Internet And Things
It you haven't heard of Rockmelt, think of it like this: it's like Instagram without the hipsters, or Pinterest without the soccer moms, or Reddit without Atheist Libertarian gamer macro image enthusiasts. The new Android app is compatible only with tablets running 4.0 or higher, but the interface is surprisingly good, complete with a dedicated reader mode for full stories.
Rockmelt puts the best of the web, news, and blogs at your fingertips - now completely customized for Android phones and tablets.

Soon, you’ll run faster, jump higher, be cooler, and Internet better.
Motivade
Skeuomorphism is awesome. Just ask Jonny Ive. But exercising is not, so you'll need motivation (read: nagging and teasing) from your friends to get it down. Motivade combines the standard social networking workout app (which is a thing now, apparently) with the even more standard exercise tracker and goal manager.
Get back in shape. MOTIVADE is a social exercise motivator that will get you off your couch. It has tools for tracking your exercise achievements, entering your activities on the go and GPS tracking for outdoor training. What is special is the easy connection to your friends’ efforts and our inspirational virtual trainers. Positive social pressure is a proven way to get fitter. The app keeps you updated on your own and your friends’ progress, and guides you toward the weekly goals that you set for yourself.
Soundwave
No, this app has nothing to do with the Transformers robot of the same name. It's yet another social media/music matchup, allowing users to show followers and the public at large exactly what they're listening to at the moment. It's kind of like Last.fm. It's exactly like Last.fm, without the near-universal support. But it's prettier, and it supports Google+.
With Soundwave, you can instantly and easily share what you are listening to on your phone and see what your friends, family and favorites (musicians, athletes, celebs) are listening to on theirs. Inspire yourself by plugging into your music world to see what’s playing. It’s fast, free, simple and beautifully addictive. Discover new music as quickly as its played. Soundwave tracks what you play on your regular music players, as well as through streaming services like Spotify and Rdio.
Grand St.
So apparently designer hardware is a thing. Who knew? Grand St. is a sort of Touch Of Modern-style story for small-batch, creatively produced gadgets and gizmos. Whether any of this stuff is actually useful is up for debate, but it's all interesting, and most of it's pretty as well. You'll need a tablet running Android 4.0 or higher to get in on the action.
Grand St. is a curated marketplace for creative technology, now available exclusively for Android devices. We hand pick, test, and highlight well-designed, delightful hardware from independent producers, featuring one new selection every other day.

Printic - Print your photos
You're a photographer. You launch an extremely limiting app on your phone, take an artificially cropped photo, add some baked-in filters, post it on Facebook, and wait for the adulation of your peers, because that's what photographers do. But what if you could print that photo out and post it on your cubicle or fridge, and get the adulation of your family and/or co-workers directly? Instead of a "Like," that hot girl from HR might give you an actual thumbs up! Consider your mind blown.

Deal Flux
You like saving money - the traffic on our Deal Alert and App Sales posts proves it.

Cartwheel
Target's made a coupon app for Android. They don't call it a coupon app - it's "Cartwheel," and it's a new spin on saving! - but that's what it is. Discounted items in every department can be applied at checkout; just show your phone and the barcodes generated inside to the checkout guy, and you can save money on your items. Just like a coupon.

Autoist Diary - Car & Bike
You take your driving seriously. We're talking gloves, Armor All, the whole bit. So why not use an app to keep track of your usage and maintenance, instead of the oil-stained notebook in the glove compartment? Autoist Diary keeps a running log of everything important for your car or motorcycle, from the mileage to the loan payments.

PowerLine
Android Police coverage: PowerLine Is The OSD For People With OCD, But It Will Probably Make Matias Duarte Cry
There are plenty of apps and custom ROMs that will display your remaining battery as a progressively diminishing bar, but why stop at the battery? PowerLine lets you add CPU power, RAM, storage, or even signal strength via bars that are available everywhere. There's even one for missed calls, and yes, it's exactly as awkward as it sounds. Some of these can be really useful... as long as you don't give a crap about aesthetics.
PowerLine - smart line-indicators in your status bar. Battery, CPU, memory, signal, storage, SMS, missed calls and more... Better than a widget. Always visible, even on the lock screen. FREE version with two indicators, more indicators with the Unlock.

Have Fun with your new Clock widget! I'm an independent developer and doing this widget for fun. Please support me by share this app on Google+, Twitter, Facebook or tell your friends. It keeps me motivated.
3D Home
3D Home's claim to being "3D" is fully justified. Its claim to being understated... not so much. This is an Android analog for those Windows desktops that tried to replicate the "feel" of a real-life desktop, complete with the clutter and unnecessary confusion. Still, if you want something that shows off your phone's graphical capabilities without a monster game download, go for it... but watch that battery life.
Are you looking for unprecedented, never-before-seen 3D homescreen experience? This app will totally redefine your concepts of what an Android desktop can be, giving you a completely customizable launcher screen and a completely new “home” on your phone. 3D Home transforms your phone desktop into a realistic and fully 3D house with various customizable scenes and themes. You can move around your home by simply sliding vertically and horizontally, and you can even rotate the ceiling, walls and floors separately.
Blank Lockscreen Widget
This widget is blank.
It doesn't do anything.
It sits on your lock screen, taking up space.
It does it very well.
If you like that sort of thing.
This is a blank, transparent lockscreen widget without any functionality. Use it to fill up pages on your lockscreen. A very simple widget that doesn't use up unnecessary resources. To use this, just add 'Blank' from the new lockscreen widget dialog. You can do the same thing with UCCW, but this one should be less resource heavy. Only for Android 4.2+.
Clone Booth
You know those hilarious clone photos on the internet? The ones that take a group photo, copy a single person's face, and paste it onto every other person' face? Now you can do that without Photoshop. Truly, this is a golden age.

Twilight Mirror LWP - BETA
After receiving several requests to give the Twilight Mirror the same Live Wallpaper treatment that I did for the Gate of Time, I decided to put something together to satiate the demand. :) This wallpaper is still very rough, and not interactive or customizable... But it's starting to look pretty decent already. I'm throwing it out to the Android-phone-owning Zelda fan community now to ask for suggestions to make it worthy of the Zelda name -- if you have any ideas, please send them my way.

WTF App(s) Of The Week
Froguts Frog Dissection
Apparently there is a huge demand for an app that lets you eviscerate a dead 3D frog. Why knew? If you've got a Galaxy Note, you can call the stylus and S-Scalpel!
REQUIREMENTS: This App has been tested on: Tablet: Nexus 7 & 10 Phone: Nexus 4.
OVERVIEW: The Froguts Frog Dissection App is an incredibly realistic 3D simulation of a Bullfrog ( Rana catesbeiana) designed to better facilitate knowledge and comprehension of frog anatomy and physiology. It can be used as both a stand alone tool and as a training reference for many different teaching styles and learners. The curriculum is divided into two main parts: dissection (dorsal + ventral exploration) and practicums (timed practice + assessment). We truly hope you enjoy this product. Froguts is a partner and sustaining member of The National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT).
