hello again ladies and gentlemen I'm Joe Hindy the android authority app guy its nearing the end of May which means it's time to take a look at the best new Android apps and games that were released this month belief is a free messaging service from believe it or not BitTorrent the premise of this app is very simple it stores all of the encryption keys and messages on your device instead of on the cloud like most this helps prevent hackers from intercepting and decoding your messages and gives you a very secure private way of messaging other people the interface is also pretty nice broken age's a game from double fine productions that has you playing the stories of two teenagers and you can switch between their stories at will the game includes gorgeous hand-drawn graphics and all-star cast of voice actors including Elijah Wood Jack Black and many others it's a bit expensive at nine dollars and ninety-nine cents but there are no in-app purchases and it's a good looking game chrome dev is the developer channel release of the google chrome browser this is very popular with the tech nerd community because it gives you a glimpse of the latest features that could be coming to chrome if you like living on the bleeding edge of development this application is for you but do beware that there will be bugs because this is essentially the Chrome browser test bed goatse is a parody of the popular daisy game that is based on the popular goat simulator game you play as a goat as you take out zombies get hit by cars and cause other goat related mayhem the graphics are good and the game is buggy but it's kind of supposed to be it's pretty funny and there's a lot to do there are also no in-app purchases and plenty of zombies this year's Google i/o is fast approaching and those interested in keeping up will need the official google i/o app in order to do it the application is done completely in material design and features the ability to livestream sessions see what's going on check events and otherwise engage with the event everyone who is going will definitely have this app but it's still useful for pretty much everyone layup from Instagram is a new photo manipulation application that allows you to turn your photos into collages despite its origins you don't actually need an Instagram account to use it and you can post the collages you make almost anywhere it's a fun little application for those who like collages and it even comes with a variety of effects it's also totally free to use mirror cat is one of two new streaming applications out this month that allow you to stream live footage from your smartphone camera meerkat allows you to stream footage to your Twitter followers straight from your camera people can only watch it live and the video doesn't get saved afterward but it's a fun little concept that's already seen some controversy and it's really fun to play with Mix Radio finally released an android application earlier this month the uk-based streaming service is kind of like Pandora and that you can subscribe to stations and listen to music it also takes the music you listen to and tries to guess what kind of music you might like based on that it's good for music discovery and radio style streaming it's also free to use and it has a pretty decent interface periscope is the other video streaming application that was released this month alongside of meerkats unlike meerkat periscope allows for video replaying so people can watch your streams over and over again otherwise the concepts are pretty much the same both rely on Twitter integration and both stream live from your phone camera also like New York at periscope has already seen some controversy all on its own see beard is a puzzle adventure game where you walk around solving puzzles and beating up bad guys the graphics and design a reminiscent of a Nintendo game and there is quite a bit of stuff to do the main premise is to build a trading empire and most missions revolve around that idea it's great for kids and for adults it's free to play with in-app purchases and it looks really nice snake rewind is the long-awaited spiritual successor to the hit game snake that we all used to play on our mobile phones back in the day the mechanics remain largely untouched in while many may not like the controls I really didn't think they were that bad the graphics are decent and the game is free to download it's a snake game through and through and it's a good burst of nostalgic joy Saturday Night Live is one of the best sketch comedy shows of all time and they released their official application earlier this month included is the upcoming lineup of hosts so you know who is doing what and when there's also access to archival footage from years past so you can relive the hilarity over and over again it'll even eventually recommend sketches the app thinks you might like last up this month is sunburned a new game out of noodle cake studios this retro style game has you exploring the harshness of space as you attempt to save your crewmates after a space ship wreck you have to find all of them without dying and without running out of oxygen it includes 50 levels and Google Play game services it's a fun little game and there are no in-app purchases once again I'm Joe Hindy the android authority app guy why you're here why not subscribe to
