this episode of the Android apps weekly show is brought to you by daily calculator free the Logan ladies and gentlemen I'm Joe penny the Android of 30 app guy and welcome back to Android apps weekly let's jump right into those headlines Google announced earlier this week that the minimum price for an application in India has gone down originally the price was set to 50 rupees and that has now dropped to 10 rupees this will allow app developers to souther application for less money and hopefully encourage people to buy more apps in an unusually stupid move Pandora will be offering a one-day pass of ad free listening for $0.99 that adds up to about $30 per month and at that point you might as well just use Spotify or Google Play Music or you know anything else we don't foresee this being too big of a deal although you never know with how people spend money these days earlier this week ironhide game studio developers of the famed kingdom rush franchise announced on Twitter that their first Kingdom rush game is now free with in-app purchases and will remain that way forever even if it's a little bit old it's still a solid tower defense game and definitely worth checking out a new Humble Bundle is out now and includes such games as one more line toward offense the Double Dragon trilogy and odd world strangers wrath you can get all of these games for the average price of just over 4 dollars which is far less than you'd pay normally and this is also a great way to give to charity last up this week it was announced that YouTube has found a way around adblock and a hilarious twist users of adblock and similar applications go from not seeing ads at all to not being able to skip them unless they disable adblock users are understandably pissed off and I'm sure the comments section will reflect that for even more Android apps and games headlines updates and new releases don't forget to check out this week's newsletter which is linked in the video description below there

there we play games goof around and have a fun time we should be playing some games on Monday at 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time we do more but we're preparing for some YouTube gaming so keep an eye out for that as well ok folks is take a look at the apps and games that made a big splash this week as usual if you want to check any of these applications out you can find the links in the video just option below you sunk for Android wear is as you'd imagine a game for Android wear in this simple game your test was sinking all of the enemy battleships using a variety of weapons the game can be played on either a phone or an Android wear device but it seems to be a little bit more fun on the watch there are also power-ups different time settings and even nukes if you want them it's free to download but do be aware of those release date bugs virustotal uplink is a newer antivirus application and virus scanner that scans your files and applications on command or you can have it run in the background it's well designed and comes with a very small footprint at 1.4 megabytes I know not a lot of people use anti-virus applications and that's ok but this seems to be something worth trying out for those of you who do it is totally free with no in-app purchases kill me again infectors is a match-three puzzle game with some fighting game elements mixed in unlike most puzzle games that use these mechanics this one actually kind of has a storyline it is a zombie game where you must survive in a world run by zombies but the cinematic graphics are pretty decent the mechanics are solid and it's actually a pretty fun little time waster it's also free to download if you're interested but again watch out for those early bugs in an amusing twist of irony the adblock browser was released earlier this week in terms of pure browsing power the adblock browser isn't all that special it does the basic browser stuff without a lot of bells and whistles obviously the main focus of this application is to block advertising and that is something that it does rather well it's worth trying if ad blocking is something that's important to you as with most applications there are a few bugs out of the gate in anticipation for the upcoming Google pay rollout Google has taken the Google Wallet functionality and put it in its own application with this app you'll be able to view your balance manager Google Wallet card if you have one of those send and receive money and a whole lot more it's essentially what the current Google Wallet application is except for it doesn't have any of the time to pay functionality if you use any of these features you'll want this application because we imagine that it'll be leaving the current Google Wallet app once it turns into Android pay thanks
