some release day bugs and now we're gonna throw it over to Josh regard for the next application this week finally the Rock has come back to Android anyone who knows me knows that I'm a huge fan of the rock and that's why when he made his own alarm clock app I had to jump right on it the rock is currently on a quest called Project Rock to improve everybody's lives and to help people chase greatness and this is one way to do it it helps you wake up in the morning basically you just create your own alarm that says wake my ass up at a certain time and you have a number of different tones some of which actually include the rock in them in order for you to wake up now you just turn on your alarm hit sleep mode and you get a nice clock for the middle of the night and at times you will be able to go into the application and get a personalized message from the rock now this is just a canned message but on most days you will actually get what looks like a snapchat video of him actually greeting you good morning and showing you what he is up to but there's also another feature on here and it's called rock time this app will actually sync up with the rocks own time to wake up in the morning and you can wake up at the same time that he does but usually wakes up well before five and if you really want to do that you just got to hit the button and it goes but what might be more important is what it lacks and that is of course a snooze button so that are pretty much do it for the rod clock I already used it an have gotten up very early in the morning not at rock time though because that's way too early for me so with that I'll go ahead and send it back to you Joe you candy astro brownie thanks Josh battleborn tap is the next app on our list and it's a premium mobile game based on the
