5 Android apps you shouldn't miss this week! - Android Apps Weekly
The 252nd Android Apps Weekly is out! This week we talk about a new The Walking Dead AR game, a rare new skateboarding game release, Fortnite's possible launch date on Android, Timehop's massive data breach, and more Android apps and games news!
Welcome to the 252nd edition of Android Apps Weekly! Here are the big headlines from the last week:
- The team sat down and talked about a bunch of apps they use this week. We tried to talk about apps that don’t get the most press. Some of them include Tiny Scanner, Transit, Achievement, Maps Measure, Out of Milk, Tea Cup, and several others. It was a good time seeing what apps we at Android Authority use on a daily basis. Hit the link to see the full list of apps and honorable mentions!
- Timehop had a little bit of a bad week. The social history app had 21 million accounts compromised during a recent data breach. The compromised data included names, email addresses, and phone numbers. They fixed the breach and everything is okay now. However, the app is recommending that people change their passwords as soon as possible. It’s a pretty serious data breach. We also recommend you check your Timehop account to make sure everything is okay.
- It’s Always Sunny In Philadelpha is getting its own mobile game soon. It won’t be much different from other TV show mobile games. It will likely include freemium mechanics, many funny and enjoyable moments from the show, a bunch of cameos from favorite side characters, and more. The game should launch sometime in 2018. We don’t quite know when exactly, though. You can register for the game on the official website if you want to.
- Google Duo may get a rewards program soon. A recent APK teardown revealed the code this last week. Basically, Google wants to bribe people into getting other people to use Duo. It’s a referra Unfortunately, we think it’ll take more than that to get people onto Google’s messaging apps these days. The referral rewards code may or may not be permanent. We would take this with a grain of salt until Google announces something.
- Fortnite may have a release date now! The long awaited battle royale shooter is months behind its main rival, PUGB. A tweet from Tencent Games shows a date of July 24th and a message that Fortnite is coming. The game should either launch on that date or they announce the for real launch date. Either way, we’re excited. We have no doubt that Fortnite is a hit in the making. It and PUBG Mobile should make our best games of 2018 list. We’ll know more on July 24th.
