Apps

Focus

Android Police coverage: Francisco Franco's Focus Is A Beautiful, Responsive, Tag-Friendly, And Simple Media Gallery

The app achieves this with a combination of tags that keep everything tidy. Though the design is simple, it goes deep with support for GIF files and videos. In-app purchases unlock extras like a dark theme and a PIN lock system that lets you hand your phone over to someone else without them instantly swiping to see your... other photos.

Focus is an incredible new kind of gallery, perfectly tuned for speed, efficiency, and ease of use.

Snowball - Smart Notifications

Android Police coverage: Snowball Hits Version 2.0, Becomes A Full-Featured Notification Center

The original Snowball app was a multi-messaging client that mixed some chathead-style functionality with an interesting way to combine popular messaging services. The app seems to have been entirely overhauled into a notification manager - it basically replaces the notification bar with a custom version that lets you hide or highlight the alerts you want. Messages from the most popular chat services get in-line replies.

Notifications are great -- until you get too many of them. Snowball makes sure you get the notifications you want and none of the rest. Snowball automatically gets rid of the annoying stuff like "10 of your apps were updated". Never miss the important stuff: Since you always want to see what your friends have to say, message notifications always appear at the top.

HALauncher - Android TV

This is a launcher app for Android TV designed to view and launch non-Android TV apps. It's often necessary to install sideloaded versions of mobile apps that aren't technically compatible with ATV, but still run on the hardware, like Airdroid or Dropbox. HALauncher lets you access them in a slick Android TV-style launcher without diving into the Settings menu. It also works on Amazon's Fire TV.

"HALauncher" is launcher for opening the Handheld app quickly on Android TV and Fire TV. "Handheld app" is the mobile app designed for smartphone or tablet and has no UI for TV. Usually, Android TV's home doesn't show handheld app. By using the "HALauncher", you can call the apps for smartphones and tablets by "normal operation + 1 click" simply and quickly. This is not Home App. You can continue to use the default Home app. So, Android TV's UI and legacy apps can co-exist.

Splory - Plan your meet ups!

Splory is yet another app that tries to make it easy for you to plan events and invite people. While this sort of thing is usually targeted at either friends or coworkers, the app also includes "suggested events" in nearby locations that are open to strangers. There's a gamification aspect, as users are "ranked" based on their history, and an easy way to remind (read: nag) your contacts that you need a yes or no.

Jio means invite and have fun. Splory is a mobile platform that help you to plan and organise your casual get-togethers on the go. We know how hard it is to plan a meet up or gathering with friends on Whatsapp, so we're here for you. Trust us, it's incredibly easy. What Splory do is dead simple:

• Plan or RSVP your casual meet up on the go.

• Invite friends across channels, they don't need the app to tell you if they're going.

• Suggest places and times.

• Remind your friends if you need an answer.

• Explore what's nearby for you - with reviews and recommendations soon.

• Never miss any night out again.

Numerous

Numerous is kind of like a sports tracking app for you and your life. And also for a bunch of other stuff. It's essentially a collection of widgets that tie into services like Fitbit and Google Analytics to present your personal info and more public sources to provide universal info. I can see this being useful if you constantly ask questions that are relatively easy to answer, like the current exchange rate, and want them all in an easy-to-find location.

Numerous follows the most important numbers in your life and keeps them up to date, all in one place.

  • Stay on top of all the ever-changing numbers from your professional and personal lives.
  • Customized notifications alert you to important changes.
  • Share your numbers publicly or privately, or keep them to yourself.

Numerous connects to business applications like Stripe, Salesforce, Google Sheets, Google Analytics, and Google Calendar, connected devices like Tesla Model S, and health and outdoor apps like Fitbit, Misfit, Strava, and Weather Underground. More channels are added all the time.

Penny

Penny is a money tracker and "financial coach" that displays your spending habits and would really like you to work towards your financial goals, please, come on, for me? It's the latest in the current boom of "personified" apps - the financial advisor is a little cartoon lady named Penny. On top of that, the app offers categorizations of your purchases, but it's nothing you couldn't get from similar services like Mint.

Meet Penny, your personal finance coach. Whenever you chat with her, she'll update you on your spending and help you plan for a better financial future. Just download the app and start chatting.

◆ Penny visualizes your spending and income with friendly messages and simple, beautiful graphs

◆ Penny automatically categorizes your transactions into simple buckets

◆ Penny is built with bank-grade security by industry veterans

GymACE: Workout Log

This is a workout log for gym enthusiasts. It's not a fitness tracker per se - the app doesn't really care how much you weigh or what you're eating. Nope, it's all about tracking exercises to see how much you're improving. Most of the classical weight, stretching, and aerobic exercises are built in, allowing you to quickly customize the app to your specific routine. Backups are made via Google Drive.

GymACE is the most versatile and most efficient workout log for strength training, weight lifting and bodybuilding - with or without weights, at home or in the gym. Grow stronger - get bigger. GymACE is so much smarter than Freeletics, Jefit, or 7 Minute Workout:

• Huge exercise database with descriptions and images.

• Customize workouts, exercises and categories, turn off the integrated database, and/or link your own exercises to integrated exercises. No fixed and expensive workouts

• You can do each exercise one after another, but you can also skip exercises, do them in a different order, or do extra ones. You can also do as many sets as you want, or as the situation in the gym requires. GymACE does not restrict you like for example Jefit.

Hello Heart – BP Monitor

This is a blood pressure tracker for iOS that's been ported to Android. It doesn't actually track your blood pressure itself, even if you've got a heart rate monitor on your watch or phone. (Heart rate monitors can't do that.) Nope, you'll need to input it manually, and this app tracks it over time.

The best blood pressure management app for iPhone and Apple Watch is now on Android. (in Beta) Hello Heart lets you easily track and understand your blood pressure so you can manage your cardiovascular and hypertension risk, worry less and even improve your condition. As soon as you enter your first blood pressure reading, you are on your way to taking control of your heart health and feeling better.

Blockfeed – the NYC news app

If you live in New York City and believe that it really is the center of the universe, then Blockfeed is the app for you. It delivers news tailored to your specific location wherever you happen to be in the city. Sections for general news, local sports and businesses, and real estate are included. More cities are coming "soon," just as soon as the developers can bring themselves to acknowledge that other cities actually exist.

Blockfeed is the only app that features a stream of local news tailored to exactly where you are in NYC. Think of it like a magical newspaper whose front page changes to show you which news stories you're closest to. Magic? Nope. We geolocate stories from hundreds of your city's best blogs, magazines and newspapers in order to connect you to the news near you.

Futhead

Futhead is an online community for EA's ubiquitous soccer game. This Android app isn't a game in and of itself, it's more of a database for the thousands of players represented in the game. It also allows you to build digital versions of your own squad, connected to your Futhead login. News and leaderboards are included as well.

The Futhead App brings you your favourite features from the website, including Player Listing, Squad Building, Comments, News and more. Keep up to date with player stats, prices and all new FUT releases. View all the top rated Squads, Comments and players, and even log in to your Futhead account to update your own Squads.

NFL Fantasy Cheat Sheet 2015

Another season, another attempt by the NFL to get fantasy football fans to cough up five bucks.

The most important day of your fantasy league is draft day. Why leave that up to chance when you can dominate your draft with the official fantasy cheat sheet app of the National Football League - the #1 best selling draft kit app since '08. Featuring NFL content in addition to the latest player news, injury reports, depth charts, IDP, keepers, ADP, AAV and VBD. Calculate rankings based on your league scoring system.
