let's get right into the headlines for this week a woman claimed her account was hacked this last week and is suing Google for allegedly unauthorized in-app purchases that apparently cost her thousands of dollars according to court documents her account was charged 650 times and she managed to not notice the money missing or receive any of the emails you always get when you buy things from the Google Play Store a new humble bundle is out now and includes ten titles from ten man games you can pay whatever you want and get four titles you can pay the average and get an additional four titles and for a flat nine dollars you can get all ten games it's a great way to get some awesome games on the cheap and donate to charity a new study came out to show the quarter won numbers for both Google Play and the Apple App Store as per the norm Google Play has more apps and more at downloads while iOS continues to lead an overall revenue nothing new here but it is the latest stat sheet and we don't expect it to change anytime soon some developers in Italy who called themselves orange tech managed to port Cortana to Android this last week there are a lot of limitations including no offline mode and it's only in Italian but it's still Cortana's back-end that's being accessed we imagine Microsoft will shut it down eventually but it's still fun to see in a blog post earlier this week Adobe has officially promised to support Android better in the future Adobe has Android apps but their most innovative creations remain iOS exclusives and that is about to change we can expect to see some progress on this over the summer of this year for more Android apps and games releases headlines and updates don't forget to check out this week's newsletter linked in the video description below where we round up all of the app news over the last week if you're so inclined you can also sign up using your email to get this news delivered directly to your inbox every single week ok folks let's take a look at the applications and games that made any big splash this week as usual if you want to check any of these applications or games out you can find the links in the video description below Google has released the official Android for work application obviously you'll need to have the Android for work on the web to make this work but it's nice to see it available for mobile devices and tablets the compatibility is a bit limited but you should be able to find all of the tools there including contacts calendar downloads the office suite and email it also includes the hallmark admin of Android for work service Li as a root application developed by Francisco Franco the application allows you to identify control and shutoff processes that may be draining your battery while you're not using your device it's similar to greenify but works more efficiently to keep tasks shut off so they don't keep your phone awake when it shouldn't be there is a pro version that you can access for free but you can donate later if you want to and we totally think you should tiny guardians is a tower defense style game that was released to relatively positive reviews earlier this week like your typical tower defense games your goal is to guard against waves of bad guys unlike tower defense games tiny Guardian doesn't actually have any towers you control guardians that must defeat all the bad guys and you lose if your strategy doesn't work out and all of your Guardians die it's a unique concept that could be a lot of fun hello is a new application released from Facebook that acts as a dialer application for their facebook messenger service Messenger has had calls for a while but now has a dedicated interface to access them on top of working with Facebook service you can automatically block calls get free calls and texts over messenger and integration with your phone contacts and Facebook contacts it does work like a regular dialer with your phone number if you need that last up this week the long-awaited Mortal Kombat X is here kind of the game has made its way to the Google Play Store but has only been soft launched in select markets ostensibly for testing purposes we don't know when it will roll out to everyone but it is here and that means it's coming for everyone very soon Mortal Kombat X features a whole bunch of your favorite MK characters along with the classic tropes from the series like fatalities it should be a lot of fun once it's fully released thanks again for watching the show everybody but let's take a quick moment to talk about some
