Android apps weekly let's get right into those headlines a few weeks back we talked about how google map maker was making a comeback this week we're finally starting to see it roll out to select markets along with the new moderation tools put in place to prevent pranksters from messing things up once again piracy has been a problem on android for a while and occasionally developers like to fire back against those that are stealing their property this week noodle cake decided to take action and upload a tweaked apk that made the third-level impossible to beat if the game was pirated despite the 89% piracy rate noodle cake is taking it all in stride and you know what good for them nyan techlabs the development team responsible for the hit game ingress has announced that they are becoming a company independent of Google and they're taking ingress and their other application called field trip along with them this doesn't mean much for players and users of the applications but hey congratulations to Niantic labs pornhub one of the premiere porn streaming sites out there is thinking of going legit they're working on a streaming service akin to Netflix which will include a paid subscription service along with a few applications the application will of course never make it to Google Play so parents will have to worry about their kids stumbling onto that one last up this week Google has announced a new initiative called Android experiments this is a little thing where app developers who do something special and unique can be promoted directly by Google there's a website and the whole nine yards and it should yield some interesting results for even more Android apps and games news don't forget to check out this week's newsletter which is linked in the video

below last passes a world-renowned password manager and this last week the application got a huge update before you used to have to pay a subscription just to use it on mobile those days are now gone as LastPass is now free to use for all mobile users there's still a subscription if you want cross-platform syncing to your computer but if you want something just for your phone this is an amazing option for password management give it a shot focus is a new gallery application that is no joke it's smooth and clean with an easy access to literally every single image on your device it has a host of organizational options to keep your photos inline and provide a truly smooth experience if you fork out the money for the premium version you'll have advanced tagging so you can organize all of your photos even more a dark theme and plenty of other features I have it on good authority from the developer that Google Photos will also be supported eventually in an upcoming updates it's definitely worth your time if you want to try it out dream the fly is a new application that warps your photographs it's based around the deep dream project that Google had going to show people how neural networks actually work and using that premise it terms your photos into something that looks like it belongs on the cover of the next tool album it's really quite entertaining although your results will vary as there are some release date bugs that have been quite ironed out yet at least it's free to use tunnel vision is one of a few new applications out of Google creative labs that came out earlier this week this one is an application that allows you to record your surroundings but instead of taking pictures or video it adds a number of filters to the images to give it a little bit of flair it works pretty well and it's an open source application so developers can contribute to it as they please it's free and it's a fun little application last and certainly not least this week is fallout shelter Android fans have been chomping at the bit to get their hands on this one since it was announced at e3 and it has finally been released this game is closer to a simulation that an actual Fallout game but Bethesda has managed to make it a whole lot of fun and entertaining enough to where we don't really care you'll build a vault play matchmaker to your dwellers and explore the wasteland it's a lot of fun and it's free-to-play thanks again for watching the Android apps weekly show everybody but let's get down to some serious business this week's episode is sponsored by space
