this episode of android authorities brought to you by netflix head to netflix.com / android to start your 30-day free trial hello again ladies and gentlemen I'm Joe Hindy the android authority app guy and welcome back to Google Play weekly we had a lot of new releases this week blackberry messenger came out along with plants vs. zombies 2 dead trigger 2 and the latest call of duty we're going to talk about that and a lot more so let's get started and our first bit of news this week we'll be talking about Aereo Aereo is a new television service available in select US cities that lets you stream live television and record to a remote DVR you can pick up the app for free but the monthly charges eight to twelve dollars depending on which package you want for cord cutters this app is going to be awesome but it is a brand-new service so it isn't perfect yet for instance is only available in a few cities and it doesn't have all that many channels hopefully the service grows but if you just need the equivalent of basic cable this is definitely worth checking out unless you've been living in a closet for the last couple of weeks you've no doubt heard that blackberry messenger has finally been released aside from some released j jitters people are reporting that the app works fairly well and people seem to be enjoying it when I say release day jitters I mean the release was totally broken there are people still waiting just to get in and start using the application also many reviews were totally faked so blackberries once again off to a rough start it was bad enough that many blogs let it affect their reviews even if you want to check out ours it's on our YouTube channel a new lock screen app for Android has been announced and it's called cover for Android cover for Android is a contextually aware lockscreen that puts your apps where you need them when you need them for now it is invite only so here's how the app works the apps that the lock screen will show changes depending on where you are if you're at home it'll show the apps you access most at home if you're in the car it'll show those apps etc it will also change your ringtone volume depending on the time day along with the host of other features it's going to be pretty nice when it comes out the long-awaited sequel to dead trigger is finally out and guess what it's awesome among other things there is better guns better zombies a new storyline better graphics and a whole lot more there really are a lot of improvements better graphics better controls an actual for real story line instead of just completing missions and of course new weapons and new zombies dead trigger is still considered one of the best zombie shooters of all time and dead trigger 2 will no doubt share that classification the official YouTube app has been updated and unfortunately it's a rather boring update because it does not include the offline mode that we've all been waiting for however there are some clothes in the code that hint to some awesome features coming to YouTube in the coming months according to the apk teardown there are bits of code in the app that show YouTube will support background audio soon this means you can start a video actually leave the application and the video will continue to play in the background this will be great for music and podcasts videos also don't forget the offline viewing is coming eventually it's time for some more trending applications if at any point you want to check these out the links as usual or in the video description first up this week is final fantasy 5 a slew of updates over the last few weeks have increased stability and squashed a few bugs Square Enix is currently selling the game for thirty three percent off which usually isn't a big deal but this game costs fifteen bucks on its own so if you want it for five dollars off now is a great time to get it plants vs. zombies 2 was officially released a while back but only in two countries now the rollout has begun to release it everywhere if you've been waiting for this one it's finally available to almost everyone also it's free and we love free things it's kind of hard for this game not to be an hour trending apps list this week dead trigger was a game that helped revolutionize the shooter genre on Android and dead trigger 2 will only continue that strong tradition we already talked about it a lot earlier so just go download it yes blackberry messenger is in fact an app you cannot miss this week the ones popular messaging platform is now on Android and it's worth checking out if you haven't already people say the platform will never last but the line to join is so long that people are still waiting for their email invites so it'll be interesting to see how it actually turns out a last-moment addition to our Google Play weekly show is the latest call of duty game called strike force the game features a whole new first and third person experience where you can switch between the two modes on the fly couple that with a bunch of other new stuff and that makes the game worth checking out even with that seven dollar price tag once again I'm Joe
