Apple's App Store Expecting Huge Fine and Changes Before End of Year

The App Store is expected to face significant fines and changes before the end of the year, according to reports. Google has been making headlines lately by announcing plans to unleash Android apps on Chrome OS, and some users have discovered an opt-in that allows the Google Play Store on Chrome. This development seems to align with reports that Chrome OS and Android are being folded together.

This move is significant because it would mean that a wide range of applications and games would be available to users on Chrome OS, in addition to what's already available. Google IO will likely provide more information on this topic in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, fans of Android apps and games can look forward to learning more about upcoming releases and updates.

Apps and Games Making a Splash This Week

Several new apps and games made headlines this week. Super Phantom Cat is a platformer that pays homage to classic 8-bit and 16-bit platformers. The game features a goofy storyline, unlockable characters, and retro-style graphics that are bright and colorful. While some might argue that it borrowed too much from older mechanics, the game is free to play and fun.

Another new app making waves is Radon, which allows users to share links with people who are close enough to them. The application takes advantage of newer Nearby APIs and doesn't require a shared Wi-Fi network or Bluetooth connection to work. Users can shoot links out to anyone with the Radon application, and they will be able to accept the link and open it.

Orbits Odyssey is a unique puzzle game where users must defeat replicating monsters, collect stars, and take advantage of the game mechanics to avoid being defeated. The game uses mechanics that allow players to orbit around planets to keep from being captured. The game features five characters, 90 levels, and 100 stars in each level, as well as fun-looking animation and graphics.

For Netflix users who are lazy, there's a new app called Random Flix that can help them decide what to watch. The basic premise of the app is to hit a button and have it give you a TV show and a random episode to watch on Netflix. This solves the age-old problem of what to watch on TV, and the app has access to every show on Netflix. It's also completely free.

Finally, there's Angry Birds Action, the latest game from Rovio. While not like standard Angry Birds games, it's essentially a pinball game where players launch birds around the board to rack up points, collect valuable items, and save eggs. The game features characters from The Angry Birds movie and is likely a promotional game since the movie is coming out next month. It has an energy system that sucks a lot, but otherwise it's a family-friendly game.

Weather Back Wallpaper: A Customized Weather App

For those who want to customize their home screen with weather-related wallpapers, there's an app called Weather Back Wallpaper. Unlike most weather apps that give you live weather wallpaper that changes based on the conditions outside, Weather Back Wallpaper lets users choose their own wallpaper and applies the weather effects over it. This results in a far more customized experience that fits individual tastes.

The free version of the app comes with some features, but users can upgrade to the pro version for a limited time at a discounted rate of $1.75, which is a 30% discount specifically because of this show's sponsorship. This week only, viewers can get the premium version, so they can check it out and support the Android Apps Weekly Show in the process.

The Android Apps Weekly Show Sponsors

This episode of the Android Apps Weekly Show is sponsored by Weather Back Wallpaper. Weather Back Wallpaper on the other hand lets you choose your own wallpaper and simply applies the weather effects over it instead of giving you a live weather wallpaper that changes based on the conditions outside. The result is a far more customized experience that fits your specific tastes.

There are a variety of effects available, and users can customize them if they want something static instead of based on the weather outside. While the free version comes with some features, the premium version has everything for this week only. If you're interested in trying out Weather Back Wallpaper, consider checking it out and supporting the Android Apps Weekly Show because it's your source for all things Android.
