C. Scott Brown / Android Authority I wholly understand why Google disallows some apps to run on Android Auto and why some developers resist including support on their apps. After all, having a built-in screen that displays videos or web pages on a car’s dashboard is just as distracting as using a phone while driving….
Joe Maring / Android Authority I have a confession to make: I’m a sucker for weather apps. I like major apps like AccuWeather and The Weather Channel, as well as smaller third-party ones like Hello Weather and Today Weather. Part of it’s due to living in Michigan and having so many different conditions to deal…
Joe Maring / Android Authority Three weeks ago, I hatched a baby bird named Blueberry. And what a journey it’s been since. Blueberry has grown up into a toddler and discovered that they really like Baby Shark. They also love bread and corn (but aren’t a fan of cherries). Blueberry goes on daily adventures to…
Joe Maring / Android Authority Google Wallet, while not the most exciting app in Google’s portfolio, is one of the Google apps I use all the time. It’s my default digital wallet on every Android phone I use. All of my store rewards/membership cards are in it, and it’s fantastic for concert tickets and airplane…

Many apps I rely on daily on my Pixel 8 are located in third-party app stores and repositories, forcing me to embrace sideloading to…
With TikTok’s fate in the U.S. uncertain — its ban in the country has been paused, but only temporarily, thanks to an executive order from President Donald Trump — the ByteDance-owned company is now encouraging Android device owners to sideload its video app onto their phones and tablets. The company announced in a Friday X…
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority With PayPal facing a backlash and a lawsuit over the under-fire Honey Chrome extension, you might be in the market for new money-saving apps or Chrome extensions. Honey may have been one of the most popular tools, but the good news is that there are tons of other great options…
Oliver Cragg / Android Authority The year is drawing to a close, and that means it’s time for our best Android apps of 2024 breakdown. It’s been an incredible year for tech in general, but we’ve also seen some notable Android app developments from companies big and small. And yes, while generative AI-influenced apps heavily…
Rita El Khoury / Android Authority It’s been 13 years since I held my first Android tablet, the Acer Iconia A100, and in those 13 years, one myth has been perpetuated and taken for gospel: Apps suck on Android tablets, but they’re amazing on the iPad. I wasn’t convinced by that back in 2011 and,…
