hello begin ladies and gentlemen I'm Joe Hindy the android authority app guy and welcome back to Android apps weekly we had a lot of great news this week so let's get right into it Microsoft is now letting people download Cortana as part of a public beta which is the first time it's officially been made available to the public there's only one problem that is you cannot participate in the public beta unless you live in the United States we don't think that'll change which does kind of suck a new application called visor was leaked recently and it prompted the developer to just release the application early it's a chrome application that lets you easily control your android device from your computer it's a nifty tool even if it's in beta and keep an eye out for pricing because there will be some pricing options eventually the Facebook M has been officially announced and much like the leaks said it'll be a personal assistant that lives inside a facebook Messenger that helps you buy things along with the suite of other functions for productivity it's currently in testing and we have no clue when it'll be made available to the public earlier this week rovio announced that they'll be laying off one third of their workforce the speculation is that the angry birds franchise is finally starting to falter as the company just released Angry Birds to not long ago to apparent success the company maintains that it made these layoffs to be leaner and more agile earlier this week amazon killed off the free app of the day and replaced it with a new application called amazon underground the new application is meant to offer a lot more applications that the company is calling actually free you can download install amazon underground just like any other amazon application

AMC programming including The Walking Dead better call Saul hell on wheels and a whole lot more you you need a cable subscription to have access to most of the content but some of the stuff you'll be able to access for free it's missing some features here and there and the application is suffering from some release day bugs but it's definitely worth keeping an eye on earlier this week samsung released the samsung galaxy note5 and s6 edge+ experience applications the point of these absences show people what kind of experience they can get with these devices and Samsung has released similar applications in the past for their flagships they are fairly easy to use and it's a nice experience if you plan on buying either one of these devices or if you just want to see what they're all about

arrange to create a certain story scene if you do it incorrectly you lose the game and if you do it right you can't proceed it's backed by a pretty decent jazz soundtrack and there is a lot of game to play here it's definitely something a little bit different and actually very fun to play it's only 99 cents and it's worth every penny last and certainly not least this week as Laura cropped go this highly anticipated game has finally made its way to Google Play to extremely positive reviews so far the title of features 75 puzzles over five chapters as you guide Laura through obstacles and fights
