hello again ladies and gentlemen i'm jill hindi the android authority app guy and welcome back to android apps' weekly this is episode number 182 so let's get started capcom is apparently working on bringing four more classic games to mobile one of them is 1942 a classic top-down shooter that many people enjoyed back in the day so far capcom has watched six megaman releases this year so we're hoping that this attempt goes a little bit better we don't have a time frame for a release date just yet we just know that they're working on it twitch receive a new update this week and in that update is a new thing called pulse pulse is a lot like Facebook's timeline except for video streamers it'll make it easier for affluent members of the community to share clips highlights and even stuff like schedules followers can see these things and interact more frequently it has a bit of nuance to twitch as otherwise cut-and-dry experience and it should be rolling out right now Google Play announced their first original podcast this week and it's called City soundtracks it's essentially a podcast version of vh1's behind the artist and each episode will focus on one artist along with their hometown most are calling it an attempt for Google Play to promote its own service from within however it does sound genuinely interesting it launched on March 8th with three episodes and it's on Google Play right now if you want to try it out fire proof games announced that a new room game is coming it'll be called the room old sins and like its predecessors it'll be a mix of an escape game and a puzzle game there isn't a lot of information available just yet however we do know that it'll take place in a house and will feature a very creepy dollhouse there isn't a definitive release date just yet we just know that they're working on it right now work around the digital grapevine is that Spotify is preparing a lossless hi-fi option some users have reported seeing a prompt to upgrade to the new service and the prices have ranged anywhere from $5 to $10 for some the likely explanation is that they're testing to see which prices that people like this will put them in direct competition with title as the only two companies that do lossless streaming also Spotify announced that they've hit 50 million paid subscribers congratulations to Spotify what are critters is a unique puzzle game you play as a few cute little critters and your job is to get them to the end of any given level you do so by chopping up the level in such a way that they can proceed that can involve chopping up the landscape so they can walk or even hacky up the place so that various obstacles can be overcome it's cute and surprisingly creative you can pick it up for $2.99 with no in-app purchases or advertising corner fly is an Android customization app and its sole purpose in life is to make the corners of your screen rounded you know like you'd see on the LGG 6 or the galaxy s 8 you can also configure the application for any individual application if you want to the best part is if it doesn't require root to use you can use it for free if you want to however going pro will allow you to customize the corners and it'll remove the advertising it's a little thing but sometimes the little things can be fun it's free to download if you want to check it out unn worded is a narrative puzzle game in this one you'll be tasked with little puzzles where you build objects out of letters you'll do stuff like use a J to make the handle for an umbrella or use an H to make smokestacks on a boat along with the puzzles is a little narrative story that gets told to you as you complete levels it's an entertaining game although we would like to see a bit more complexity in some of the puzzles it's three dollars and 99 cents but there are no in-app purchases to get in your way brick box is a new video streaming service it's for US residents only and that's kind of unfortunate however those with access can't pick up a ton of TV shows movies and programs created in the UK as a service it seems to work fairly well we watch several shows without any buffering or noticeable lag problems the UI isn't like to look at but it's pretty easy to move around about the only real downside is the lack of super hit shows like Top Gear Doctor Who weakest link and some others it's $6.99 per month if you are interested shadow Matic is a new puzzle game that focuses on shadows it works by placing a random object in front of a bright light and your job is to twist and turn the object around until the shadow behind it turns into a picture the game includes over a hundred levels achievements and Arcade Mode hints and a lot more you can get the first 14 levels for free and then you'll be asked to pay $2.99 for the rest of the game through an in-app purchase it's fun it's kid-friendly and the graphics in this one aren't half bad for even more Android apps and
