15 best Android games released in 2022

Mobile gaming continued its domination in 2022. There were a number of high-profile releases, and some of them already have tens of millions of downloads with a healthy active player base. It’s that time of year to find out the best ones and reward them appropriately. Like most years, most of the games on the list are free to play. We know some people don’t like those, but they’ve improved since the old days. 2022 wasn’t the craziest year, but there are still some keepers here. Here are the best Android games released in 2022. We also have a list of honorable mentions below the main list. We sorted through over 200 total games for this piece, with many more left on the cutting room floor. The cutoff for this article is December 10th, 2022. Thus, if a game came out on or around that date, it was not considered for this list since we haven’t had the opportunity to test it yet. from Android Apps & Games - Android Authority https://ift.tt/oCO7WDA https://ift.tt/7oEXIik

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

Welcome to the 464th edition of Android Apps Weekly . Happy holidays, and here are the big headlines from the last week: Our own Andrew Grush took a good, hard look at gaming on a Chromebook . He found that it was actually pretty decent, and there is some hope for Chrome OS as a gaming platform. However, there are still some kinks to work out, as noted in his article linked above. Give it a read. YouTube announced that it was partnering with the NFL to distribute NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV. Google is reportedly paying $2 billion per season for the deal, so we hope plenty of people find it interesting. This is a huge deal for YouTube TV as it improves the platform’s sports selections dramatically. Apple was considered the favorite to win the contract. We guess the NFL decided to side with Google for this one. A surprising number of our readers use Chrome OS . We posted the poll last week, and over 50% of respondents said they use Chromebooks every day. However, we also think t

15 best Android apps released in 2022

We’ve come to the end of another year and it’s time for fun yearly roundups. Android apps aren’t quite the draw that they used to be. After all, it’s difficult to break out into a scene where there are already so many excellent apps. Still, we think quite a few made out well this year, and we’re going to talk about them. Here are the best Android apps released in 2022. We sorted through over 200 apps for this list, with many more on the cutting room floor.

Welcome to the 462nd edition of Android Apps Weekly . Here are the big headlines from the last week: Google merged its Waze and Maps teams this week . The company did it as a cost-saving measure since both apps do the same thing. On the plus side, consolidation may help both apps.

15 best fighting games for Android

Fighting games may not be the most popular genre anymore, but the people who still love the genre are among the most loyal gamers. Unfortunately, fighting games haven’t been as popular or successful on Android as many would’ve hoped, and there aren’t many amazing options available. There were some pretty big releases in 2018 and some more since. However, you’ll still want an emulator if you want something competitively fun. In any case, if you want to give it a shot, here are the best fighting games for Android. We’d also like to give an honorable mention to Footsies ( Google Play ).

TikTok vs YouTube Shorts vs Instagram/Facebook Reels

Bite-sized videos are a huge thing on the Internet these days. The trend started with TikTok and has expanded to YouTube, Instagram, and a few other places. It’s so popular that TikTok overtook Google as the number one most popular website in 2021. People seem to really like them, and it doesn’t seem like a passing trend anymore. It’s true that Vine and other services started the short video trend, but none of them have seen the success of TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Facebook Reels, and Instagram Reels. No matter which platform you choose, you get the same kind of stuff. Short videos that you can scroll through quickly and share with your friends.

One year later, have developers warmed to Google’s Material You overhaul?

Credit: Ryan Whitwam / Android Authority Android updates aren’t as exciting as they once were, but there’s still some fun to be had if you’re patient. Google began the process of overhauling the Android UI with Material You in Android 12, and the process continued in Android 13 . As with so many changes over the years, Material You will only reach its full potential with buy-in from developers — this has long been Google’s Achilles’ heel. There’s reason to be optimistic about Material You, but it’s too soon to call it a success. Some pieces of the puzzle are still missing, and they may never slot into place the way Google envisions. There were plenty of reasons to be skeptical of Material You’s success right out of the gate. Google rolled out Android 12 on the Pixels with good but not great first-party support. Most of Google’s apps supported the basic theme options, but some stragglers took a few months to catch up. from Android Apps & Games - Android Authority https:/
