If there's one thing we don't have enough of in this world, it's messaging apps.

Yahoo just released a group chat app called Squirrel

Read MoreYahoo Mail for Android updated with support for AOL and Outlook accounts
Much as you've been able to use Gmail on Android to check other services' accounts, Yahoo has responded by adding support for more third-party services in its own app. Yahoo Mail users can now check email on Outlook and AOL accounts, in addition to existing Gmail support.
