is selling his legendary root application super issue to a group of developers called coding code mobile technology LLC or CC mt for short chainfire will remain on the project for two more years as the transition occurs after which the new startup will take over we don't know much about this new startup just yet google has announced that they're raising the app size limit to 100 megabytes it was previously at 50 megabytes in many applications including Chrome browser and Facebook have come very close to that maximum size now as will be able to expand to include more functionality I'm sure we'll see apps are passing the 50 megabyte barrier very soon word around the grapevine is that YouTube will be in offering a site-wide subscription service it's rumored to be called YouTube bread and costs a surprisingly low ten dollars per month of course this is a rumor so take it with a grain of salt but I guess we'll know for sure here in a few weeks for even more Android apps and games news

this week as usual if you want to check any of these applications out you can find those links in the video description below world-renowned king of clickbait article titles have released their first android app to the Google Play Store surprisingly the design and functionality of this application isn't half bad and BuzzFeed bands can definitely find a decent selection of news posted here it does focused more on the new side of things than the clickbait nonsense articles the site is known to produce it's free to download and worth a shot and I guess sky safari 2 is a 2d downhill infinite runner where you must ski your way to success you'll be followed constantly by an avalanche that will eat you up if you go too slow there are a variety of power-ups and animals to show up and help you along the way you'll also get to choose between two playable characters and two modes of transportation there is also online multiplayer customizable gear and more it's free to play and family-friendly drive mode is a newer application that tries to give you an ice-free interface so you can use your smartphone while driving without taking your eyes off the road there is a bit of a learning curve at first but after a while you'll learn the various controls by touch alone and you'll be able to do things like answer phone calls control your music and answer text messages it does this by using voice commands and bright color so you know your way around it's worth a shot if you're interested the latest Need for Speed game was released late last week to mixed reviews on one hand the game is beautiful with intensely good graphics decent gameplay controls and plenty of stuff to do and cars to customize on the other hand naming the game note limits may have been a misstep as the game does occasionally limit you with a fuel gauge that needs to refill before you can race again it's free to play so there's no harm in trying it out but keep the expectations in check computa pie legend of the brofist is a new game based on everyone's favorite YouTube gamer it's a 2d platformer with fret Rostow graphics and simple enough controls the game is filled to the brim with gaming history references and memes you can also unlock other youtubers like markiplier cinnamon toast Ken marzia and many others it's actually not half bad of a game as long as you don't mind the silliness
