**Android Apps and Features**

One of the most significant improvements to Android has been the streamlined app switching process. This allows users to quickly switch between two applications that they use frequently together, such as email and messaging apps. When you press the recent apps button, both apps are loaded up almost instantly, making it much faster than trying to open one app, split screen it, and then select the other app every time.

For those who don't like their current notification bar or want more functionality, there is an application that provides a custom notification shade. This app requires no root and can be customized without any tinkering whatsoever, giving users access to shortcuts and notifications while also providing an intense level of customization options. Users can adjust everything from the color of the notifications to the display of quick settings, all within the comfort of their current Android version.

Another notable application is Note, a seamless and minimalistic notetaking app that opens on top of whatever you're doing, without suspending any applications in the background. When you type something out, it instantly appears in your notification bar, where you can then simply swipe it away like with any other notification. By the same company that brought us Duolingo, one of the best language learning apps, Note uses a scientifically proven algorithm to help users remember things, and is packed with information on various subjects, from animal names to Spanish architecture throughout history.

If you're interested in improving your knowledge quickly, you might want to check out Tiny Cards. This app uses an advanced algorithm to help users remember information, and can take you from general knowledge rookie to absolute genius in a matter of minutes. For example, within five minutes of using the app, I've committed to memory about seven different types of geographical maps, their exact definition, what they're used for, and what they represent.

For those who want more control over their YouTube experience, there's an application called Floating Tube. This app provides a fully featured YouTube interface, complete with likes, comments, subscriptions, and channel visits. But what really sets it apart is the ability to create a floating window, allowing you to manipulate the window while still interacting in full-screen mode with other applications.

One of the most significant advantages of this application is its integration with the Doze feature on Android Marshmallow. While Google introduced Doze to conserve battery life, Floating Tube accelerates the process, making it so that within a couple of minutes of turning the screen off, the same effects are achieved. This works seamlessly for both rooted and non-rooted users.

If you want to have some fun with your friends or family members, there's an application called Fake That. This app allows you to create fake profiles, complete with fake names and conversations. It's perfect for joking around with friends or pranking them in a lighthearted way. While the app is heavy on ads until you pay for the full version, its feature set is really good.

Another useful application is Battery Meter. This tiny pop-up displays your battery percentage on top of applications, allowing you to easily see how much power is left without having to check the settings or home screen. It's a simple but incredibly useful feature that can make all the difference when gaming or using intensive apps.

**Conclusion**

Overall, these Android apps and features are designed to improve your daily life, whether it's simplifying app switching, providing more functionality in your notification bar, or simply making it easier to stay on top of your battery life. Whether you're a seasoned Android user or just looking for ways to make the most of your device, there's something here for everyone.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwelcome to some of the best Android applications of not only this month but also the entire 2017 the first app is called air console and long story short it turns your Mac or PC into a fully fledged gaming console that you can then control with your smartphones and I suppose the best bit here is that because it's all powered by the web you don't need a super powerful laptop or computer just a fairly decent internet connection as soon as you paired your smartphone through it you can start scrolling through the pretty vast selection of games on offer now that's all well and good the games on here are rather fun on the surface of it but they're not really ones you can really sink your teeth into the real replay value here comes in the form of multiplayer because as well as being able to connect your smartphone you could invite three of your friends over tell each one to bring their own smartphone and all of a sudden almost instantly you've got a four player couch co-op experience pretty cool number two is split screen creator and app there truly extends the functionality of Android multitasking what it allows you to do is to create application pairs to apps that'll automatically when you tap them open together at the same time in split-screen mode now as you can probably tell there is a little bit of delay between pressing the button and both applications being loaded up but either way it's far faster than the alternative of having to first load up one of the apps open split screen and then select the other one every time you want to use them together and it makes a lot of sense when you have two applications that you just tend to use hand-in-hand anyway the next one is a custom notification shade for anyone who a doesn't like the way their current notification bar looks but also be for anyone who thinks it lacks some functionality the app requires no root and without doing any tinkering whatsoever it'll look and feel like you're running Android 8.0 Oreo you've got all the same access to your shortcuts to your notifications but at the same time a pretty intense level of customized ability you can adjust everything from the color of the notifications the way the quick settings are displayed or even the color of the bar controlling your screen brightness up next we've got possibly the most seamless and minimalistic notetaking application we've ever used this is called note in it actually opens on top of whatever you are doing so doesn't even suspend any applications in the background you then type out something you really want to remember and instantly it'll appear in your notification bar when you're done with it you simply swipe it away like with any other notification and completely forget about it by the same company that brought us duolingo one of the best language learning applications we've now got tiny cards and this uses a scientifically proven algorithm to help you remember things and there is so much information crammed into this one app everything from the names of various different animals to Spanish architecture throughout the ages it'll basically take you from a general knowledge rookie to an absolute genius as an example within about five minutes of having use the application I've committed to memory about seven different types of geographical maps their exact definition what they're used for and what they represent very quickly before we carry on you might know that we are really really trying to hit 1 million subscribers before the end of 2017 so if you could support me by subscribing I would appreciate it so so much the next application is something called floating tube and whilst that probably gives you a pretty good idea of what it does the name alone doesn't really do the application justice this is more or less a fully featured YouTube app where you can like comment subscribe to channels and visit channels directly but also it allows you to create a floating window a lot of the time when you're watching a YouTube video you want to be doing something else at the same time so you can manipulate the window you can move it around your screen and still interact in full-screen mode with other applications now what I like about this floating screen in particular is that even within the mini window you can skip to different parts and adjust the quality now you might remember that with Android marshmallow Google introduced something called the doze feature on Android which essentially meant that a couple of hours after turning your screen off some of the applications would start to close down or be blocked from communicating in order to save battery well this application called nap time accelerates the process it makes it so that within a couple of minutes of turning the screen off the same process has been achieved now it works seamlessly if you have root and if you don't there is a workaround but it does involve a PC and a little bit of fiddling so an application that doesn't take itself too seriously we've got what's fake this allows you to fake entire Watts up conversations hopefully just to be used to really joke around with your friends what it lets you do is create fake profiles with fake names and whilst the app is kind of heavy on the adverts until you pay for the full version it's feature-set is really rather good it lets you type out the entire conversation from both sides and it also allows you to adjust the time that the contact was last seen online and if they're typing currently or not again nothing game-changing but it can make some fun and kind of realistic pranks on your friends now we've got battery meter and I really really like this application once you've installed it and enabled it it creates a tiny little pop-up which probably reminds you on what we've seen on the essential phone except instead of being a camera this thing shows your battery percentage which is potentially quite a useful thing it displays on top of applications so say for example you're playing an intensive game but you want to stop when you've hit 20% battery you can do that so there we have it guys I really hope you enjoyed the video and as I said earlier it would mean so much to me if you could subscribe to the channel but that being said thanks a lot for watching I'm used to who's
