April saw a bunch of quality apps land on the Play Store, including a couple directly from Google. The list includes a new email client from Dropbox, a new Twitter client with the potential to become Tweetbot for Android, an extremely popular automation app and more.
So, what are you waiting for? Read below to find out the best apps that were released on the Play Store in April.
When Google announced the Google Maps Pokémon Challenge for April Fools’ Day, I immediately opened the app on my phone and began my hunt for little pocket monsters. Unfortunately, the novelty was short-lived, and I only found about 15 before I got bored and stopped looking.
But I’m pretty sure I would have stuck at it and found all 151 if I’d have known a surprise gift from Google was the reward.
That’s right — the search giant is sending free mystery gifts to users who found all 151 Pokémon in Google Maps.
The most exciting smartphone of the year so far is also a cause of immense frustration for many.
Everyone wants to get their hands on the OnePlus One, which combines cutting-edge specifications with an affordable price tag, but you need an invite if you want to buy one — and they’re incredibly hard to come by right now. But don’t spend your savings on another smartphone just yet.
OnePlus has told fans that the One will be much easier to get hold of if you want until June.
Over the past month or so, I’ve been asking friends and colleagues whether they’ll be choosing the HTC One M8 or the Samsung Galaxy S5 when it’s time to upgrade their smartphone. A number of the responses have surprised me. Rather than picking the latter — which I assumed most would — several told me they would be waiting for the LG G3 instead.
That wait will end on May 27, when LG will announce its new flagship at events held simultaneously in six cities around the world.
Earlier today, Google updated its Galaxy S4 GPE listing on the Play Store with a picture of the Galaxy S5, thus suggesting that a Google Play Edition of Samsung’s latest flagship smartphone is on the way. Unfortunately, all the other information on the listing page remains identical to that of the S4, but seeing as the search engine giant has already made the first move, the full listing should be updated shortly.
