Apps

Airtime - All together now

Android Police coverage: Four Years Later, Airtime Relaunches To Bring You And Your Friends Into The Same Virtual Room

Airtime, or at least the latest incarnation of the app, is a chat service built for "rooms" from the ground up. Imagine it as a modern version of the old AOL or Yahoo chat rooms, but meant for your friends and integrated with a ton of new web features. On top of the usual bells and whistles like video and photo support, it includes a "signal" button that lets others know when you're in the same area.

Hi. This is Airtime — the best way to stay close to your friends and family anytime, anywhere. Your Airtime rooms help you stay in touch with your groups. Ramen crew, close friends, bookless book club, school... Up to six people can video chat as a group at the same time, from next door or across the world. You can also watch videos and listen to music together while chatting. Make sure your people have good taste. Everybody thinks they're a DJ these days.

Random Flix

Android Police coverage: Random Flix Plays A Random Netflix Episode When You Don't Want To Choose For Yourself

This app is absolutely essential for couch potatoes like me. Open the app, select a show on Netflix, and it will play a randomized episode - it's sort of a show-specific "shuffle" button for television. It's perfect for comedies, not to mention about ten thousand episodes of Star Trek and Doctor Who. Throw in a TV and a Chromecast and you're set for life.

Have you ever wanted to watch a show on Netflix, but can't decide what episode to watch? Well then this app is for you. Random Flix allows you to easily search through every available show on Netflix, and then play a random episode. You can even save your favorite shows for easier playback later.

Radon - Share using Ultrasound

Android Police coverage: Radon Uses Google's Nearby API To Easily Share Links To Other Devices

Radon is neither elemental nor radioactive, it's a new sharing service that sends shared items (from Android's various "Share" menus) to nearby phones or tablets. It does this by sending links, photos, or what have you using a series of sub-sonic pulses from the speaker to create the initial connection, then switching over to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. It's fast, and assuming everyone has an Android-powered gadget with speakers and microphones, more or less universal.

Skip QR codes or NFC, Radon lets you share to everyone nearby, as long as you have the app open. As soon as they open Radon on their device, they'll automatically open whatever you shared, on as many devices as you want. Radon uses your sensors to broadcast links, so you don't need to pair or tap. As long as the other device is nearby, Radon just works. Radon uses sensors you already have, and everyone else has including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Ultrasound. It does everything automatically, so all you have to do is tap share.

The Rock Clock™

Android Police coverage: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Rock Clock App Has The Objectively Best Alarm Tones Ever, No IAPs

This is an alarm clock made by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, famous wrestler and actor. (Or at least it's being promoted by him.) Because it's all about accomplishing goals and stuff, there is no snooze button. Instead it comes with a daily motivational video message from Mr. Johnson. "Rock Time" will synch your personal alarm with The Rock's... which seems like it would get old really quickly.

Introducing the Rock Clock. A motivational alarm clock from Project Rock. Enter a personal goal, set your morning alarm and wake up every day with a new message from Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. It’s time to get up and get after your goals. No excuses.

Exclusive video messages from The Rock, sent from his phone to yours.
25 custom alarm tones created by The Rock himself.
No snooze feature. The Rock is not a fan of that button.
Rock Time. Syncs your alarm with The Rock’s. You get up when he does

Finch for Twitter

Android Police coverage: Now That Twitter Has Murdered Fenix, Finch Is A Decent (And Free) Alternative Third-Party Client For Android

Screenshot Join

Smartphone screens, by their very nature, sometimes don't show a lot of information at once. That makes grabbing a bunch of said info tricky, especially when it's in the form of a long vertical list or image. This app helps to catalog smartphone-formatted pages by seamlessly joining screenshots into a super-long (or wide) image. It's a fairly simple process: take a bunch of screenshots, open the app, and stitch them up, no root necessary. Nice.

Join Screenshot app helps you to merge multiple screenshots into a long picture - Share a long text conversations or a website with friends. Don't clutter your friends with tons of screenshots, but send just one image.

Screenshot join helps you to join screenshots vertically and horizontally.
It's quick & easy.

Tomahawk Player Beta

Tomahawk is an open-source music player that hunts down music and serves it up to you like an over-enthusiastic cat. The idea is that you give it a search term and it finds the song or album you want from a wide collection of paid and free services, though of course you'll need to tell it which paid music sources you have access to. The app is open source and it syncs with the Hatchet service.

Please keep in mind that Tomahawk and the different plugin apps are still under development. Bugs and crashes are still to be expected. Music is everywhere, now you don’t have to be. Tomahawk, the critically acclaimed multi-source music player, is now available on Android. Given the name of an artist, album or song Tomahawk will find the best available source and play it - whether that be from paid or free online streaming services, local network sources or your phone’s local storage.

The Movie Hop

Have you ever taken off an entire day just to go watch movies at the theater? Me neither. But the creators of Movie Hop have, and they'd like everyone to give it a try. The app lets you select up to five different currently-playing movies in the theater, then shows you a plan for seeing them all in the most efficient way possible with the least wait
