Megan Ellis / Android Authority I’ve had a lifelong love of learning, to the point where I used to read encyclopedias and dictionaries as a child, along with a variety of non-fiction books around specific topics. This love of learning hasn’t dampened as an adult, as I frequently find myself in Wikipedia rabbit holes, and…
Ryan Haines / Android Authority It’s safe to say that more or less every Android user has a weather app installed on their phone. I certainly do, and I use it daily to check the weather, not only for today but for the rest of the week as well — it’s part of my morning…
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.

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I use a lot of apps, but I also tend to ditch them quickly. As a tech journalist, I’m always trying out new things to see what’s hot and worth talking about. However, I recently started thinking about the apps I haven’t ditched, the ones I’ve used for years and…
Andy Walker / Android Authority Google Pixel users can access a world of apps beyond the Play Store. Not every great Android app will be found within the company’s store walls. 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…
