Microsoft all the things, Periscope released on Android, Playboy has an app! - Android Apps Weekly

**Last Week's Humble Bundle**

The latest Humble Bundle has been making waves among gamers and charity supporters alike. This week, anyone who purchases the Artifa Mundy Humble Bundle will also receive Steam keys for Mac, Linux, and Windows, allowing them to play on multiple platforms. This is a great way to give back to charity while scoring some affordable games.

**Quick Reply Functionality**

Developer Muhammad AG has been working on a rootree application that aims to add quick reply functionality to almost any messaging-based notification. The app will allow users to respond quickly without having to engage with the notification itself. Although it's not out yet, the project seems promising and could greatly improve user experience.

**Microsoft Announcements**

Microsoft has made several announcements this week, which we'll group together for convenience. First, they announced a Windows 10 companion application designed to help Android phones sync with Windows computers for improved functionality. Additionally, Microsoft introduced an application called Microsoft One Clip, a cross-platform clipboard app that could be useful for users. Furthermore, Cortana for Android has been officially announced, although no release date has been set yet.

**Microsoft Partnership**

Microsoft has also partnered with 18 OEMs to make Microsoft Office pre-installed on their tablets. This is a significant move, as it will increase the availability of Microsoft's productivity suite across various devices.

**App and Game News Updates**

This week saw several new app releases and updates. First up was Form Watch Face, an Android Wear watch face that displays whatever background is on your phone and allows any Android Wear watch face to sit on top of it using the Muse API. This is a unique and creative approach to watch faces.

Next was Google Spotlight Stories, a storytelling application that lets users view immersive short stories using 360° video, 2D, and 3D animations. Although not all devices are supported, the app is free to download and offers an engaging way to experience stories. Viewers can also purchase additional stories if they wish.

**Periscope**

If you've seen Periscope before, you might recall it as a live video streaming app released by Twitter. It allows users to stream from their smartphone camera to all of their Twitter followers and watch old streams privately. Although it's not new, the app has been gaining popularity among users.

**Microsoft Hyperlapse**

Last but not least was Microsoft Hyperlapse, an interesting camera application that helps create stop-motion videos. Although it was released last week, some devices have been added to its compatibility list, making it available for testing through Google+. The app uses a unique approach to create these videos and could be worth checking out.

**Playboy Now**

In a surprise move, Playboy has released an Android application called Playboy Now. Despite its name, the app contains hardly any nudity and is actually safe for work. It serves as a news aggregator, providing updates on celebrities, nightlife, and other activities that might be of interest to users who enjoy the Playboy brand.

**Weare Anytime Gallery**

Finally, Weare is an Android gallery application that allows users to sync photos between their phone and Android Wear Smartwatch. The free version limits photo syncing to 20, while the premium version offers unlimited storage. This app seems straightforward and user-friendly, with pinch-to-zoom support on compatible devices.
