hello again ladies and gentlemen I'm Joe Hindy the android authority app guy and welcome back to Android apps weekly this is episode number 183 so let's get it started YouTube and daydream are teaming up to make some better be our videos right now most of you our videos use something called equal rectangular projection it works for now but the quality could be better the idea these two companies are going with is called equiangular tube map projection it's a similar concept that's used in video games but for VR video instead we'll learn more about it as they release more information there is a new humble mobile bundle ready for download it has a total of nine games for right now including anomaly to Kingdom rush frontiers worms for and others you can pay one dollar and get four of the games pay three dollars and get four more games or pay five dollars and you'll get every game in the bundle this is actually a pretty nice bundle with some very good games in it it's worth checking out and you'll be helping charity as well google has a new app incoming called family link and it's close to release this new application gives parents more control over the smartphones of their kids the application will let parents do things like lock kids out of their devices and monitor what they download from Google Play that should help with things like accidental purchases or kids losing their phone parents can request an early invite if they'd want to try it out for now however most will have to wait for the official release we have learned some new information about Pandora premium as expected the aim will be to do battle with the likes of Apple music Spotify and other music streaming services it'll also cost nine dollars and ninety-nine cents just like all the competition what we know right now is that Pandora will start by sending out invites to people who want to test out the service the whole thing should be rolling out in the near future as it turns out google assistant is not coming to android tablets by now you've likely heard that it is coming to every smartphone running android marshmallow and above google announced this week that they are definitely not doing tablets at least not right now that's not to say that it won't come eventually simply that there are no plans to do so right now adjust your expectations accordingly subspace is a free shooting game you play as a dude who floats around in space and you have to shoot bad guys that show up avoid obstacles and move around as best as you can you shoot to move and sometimes you have to wait to reload a little bit it also features some pretty decent dubstep music so we recommend you check it out with headphones the game is completely free to play with no in-app purchases and that makes it a good choice for those on a budget supersonic is a new messaging application that uses your voice it will listen to what you say and then convert it into text the text is then sent to the recipient it's a fun little application that will do some quirky things like change words to emoji when the situation calls for it or people can also just listen to the message if they want to it's a new application so there are some bugs here and there and we've seen some people complaining about the contact management features as well however it's worth a shot if this sounds like you are kind of thing ghosts and goblins is a port of the classic 1985 arcade game of the same name it's made by Capcom and unlike the broken Mega Man ports this one works pretty well it's a side-scrolling platformer where you'll have to run jump and fight your way past obstacles and bad guys you'll also have a casual game mode in case you want to play on an easier setting there is support for Google Play game services as well if that matters to you it's a tough old arcade game but we had a lot of fun with it it's 99 cents with no in-app purchases hangouts meet is one of two new Google applications to augment google hangouts this one is a conferencing application where you can create and join meetings with coworkers it supports up to 30 participants it's fairly easy to use and you can turn off video and just use your voice if you want to the basic functionality is available for free although you will need AG sweet enabled account to use all the features it's simple it may be a bit too simple but it is there if you want to try it out it's free to download in the Google Play Store clue is the classic board game that many of us remember from our childhood for those who somehow don't know clue is a game where you have to figure out who committed the murder which room of the house it was in and which weapon they use this is a pretty faithful recreation and most people haven't had a problem with it so far there are a few improvements that could be made but overall it's a very solid experience you can pick it up for three dollars and ninety-nine cents with no in-app purchases okay folks I have a
