The year isn’t quite over yet, but Google has wasted no time in highlighting its best Android apps and games of 2015. The list includes hit titles like Fallout Shelter, Clash of Clans, and Lara Croft: Relic Run — plus awesome apps like Google Photos, Twitch, and Telegram.

One of Apple’s finest apps is GarageBand, which allows almost anyone to create music using only their Mac or iOS device. Sadly, it’s not available on Android — but Stagelight is.

Just like GarageBand, Stagelight makes music creation incredibly simple, with a large collection of virtual instruments, sounds, and loops at your disposal. And don’t worry if you don’t know what you’re doing, because Stagelight’s helpful in-app lessons can teach you.

One of the many perks that come with buying Google’s new Nexus smartphones — alongside great specifications at an affordable price, pure Android software, and instant updates — is a free Play Music subscription for 90 days.

Anyone who buys a Nexus 5X or Nexus 6P can enjoy it — unless they’re an existing subscriber.
