Back when I was younger, Worms was a great way to get my fix of cartoon violence. You placed your character in a strategical position on a map and would then fire missiles/guns/nukes at opposing worms. Whoever dies first loses. Recently launched onto Google Play is Blastron, a game with the same modus operandi, but with robots instead of war-hardened worms. As you progress, your robot is heavily customizable with different weapons and power-ups. (more…)
From the creator of the increasing popular icon pack known as Flatro, we present to you Tendere. As you know, we’re always on the hunt for the next hot set of icons, and Tendere with its rectangles, minimal color palette, and retro angles, might be it. The pack contains 350 icons at this point (will certainly grow), along with nine “abstract/minimal” wallpapers. The entire set screams flat and old school, while still carrying that new school minimal design. It’s a solid mix, but I’m really liking the idea of moving to rectangles instead of following the trend of every icon pack using perfect squares.
Tendere works with all of the popular launchers like Nova, Apex, Action, TSF, and more. (more…)
Hidden not-so-deep inside of Android 4.3’s settings activities, you’ll find an interesting new addition called App Ops that appears to be a work-in-progress setting for letting users manage permissions of apps with more control. You can access App Ops using an app that allows for shortcut making of activities, or you can download a handy app called Permission Manager (link below) that was recently created to access this menu on the fly.

Google Hangouts received an update today (or earlier in the week but is just now rolling out to everyone) to version 1.1. The update is minor, as in it doesn’t include Google Voice or any other new feature. What we are getting is more emoji, and additional “butter” to make the app run faster and slicker. The update also fixes a bunch of bugs. And that’s it.
What’s New:
1.1
- Added more emoji!
- We added some butter to Hangouts to make it run faster and slicker.
- Fixed a bunch of bugs.
Cheers Jason!
A simple question is raised by the developers of the newly launched Quad Drawer application, the same folks that created one of Google Play’s most highly praised applications, Beautiful Widgets – How much time do you spend searching for apps on your device? Well, it may not seem like a long time for most people, but LevelUp Studios has found a way to make the process of locating your apps a bit faster. (more…)
If you already ordered or plan on ordering a Chromecast, head on over to Google Play and pick up the official app. With the Chromecast app, you can set up your new device to run on your home’s WiFi network and also change the device’s settings, such as the name and the WiFi password.

There is also some bug fixes listed for both apps, so even if you aren’t a dongle man, go grab it anyways. (more…)
