5 Android apps you shouldn’t miss this week! – Android Apps Weekly

Welcome to the 147th edition of Android Apps Weekly! Here are the headlines from the last week:

  • Evernote released some news this week that they plan on increasing the prices of their services. The free accounts will have more restrictions than before, including bandwidth restrictions while the paid version will get those non-restricted features that free users once enjoyed. For enterprise use, not much is changing, but if you were a free user, you’ll likely want to find a new note taking app.
  • The latest Humble PC and Android bundle has been set live and it’s a pretty good one. Included in the bundle is Badland, 10000000, Knights of Pen and Paper 2, and several others. There is still one game left to be unveiled and you can get a varying amount of them depending on how much you pay or all of them if you fork out around $11. It’s a bit more expensive than usual, but it’s still less than if you bought them all separately.
  • Google has launched a new initiative that allows you to control what ads you see while browsing the web. The new interface also comes with a My Activities page that shows you all kinds of information that you may be surprised that Google was able to ascertain. In any case the new interface is linked here if you’d like to see it and we recommend that you check it out.
  • Facebook is changing its News Feed algorithm again. This time it’s going to try to show posts from friends that you actively engage with along with stuff that Facebook deems to be more informative and detailed. The end result should be that you see more stuff that you like and less stuff that you don’t. However, paid posts still exist so we’ll see how that turns out.
  • A new study was released this week that shows that iOS users generally spent 2.5 times more money on apps versus Android users. I know, there are a ton of variables to consider as to why that may be. However, Android users were more likely to spend money on utility apps than iOS users. This can be easily explained by things like launchers and, for the longest time, third party keyboard apps which iOS doesn’t have an abundance of.

final fantasy brave exvius Android Apps WeeklyFinal Fantasy Brave Exvius

[Price: Free with in-app purchases]
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is an unusual twist between a jRPG and a freemium game. It was developed by the same studio that did Brave Frontier and you’ll notice that during combat sequences. However, underneath all of that is an actual jRPG where you explore dungeons, engage with random encounters, walk around towns, and engage with a story line. The soundtrack is surprisingly amazing and the game is jam packed with nostalgic value for Final Fantasy fans. It may be the best freemium game ever made.
