Twitter’s six-second video creation app, Vine, is now available for download on Google Play. The once iOS-only app allows you to create six second videos that loop infinitely. You can either record short snippets within the six seconds instead of shooting one entire six second video, although you can do that if you wish. Google+

For a long time Android has been the poor cousin of the smartphone family, with most companies neglecting Android and making their apps available for only iOS.  Lately, with Android now making up a majority of the smartphone market in Australia, companies are slowly coming to the party and making their apps available on the [...]

Super Stickman Golf 2 is not a particularly new app in the grand scheme of things, but what has brought it into the limelight is its use of the new Google Play games services that were announced at Google I/O a couple of weeks ago. There’s no major learning curve involved in SSG2, you just [...]

Google has rolled out an update to the Google Play Music app today which brings a feature it probably should have had already; the ability to delete songs and albums from your library. Further, you can share songs and add them to playlists from the Now Playing screen, rather than having to do it via [...]

With every update, Twitter’s official Android application gets more fantastic. First came the holo redesign, then they fixed the settings button and now they’ve added expandable notifications and a new compose screen. Twitter’s handling of notifications was my number one complaint about the official application, and I’m glad to see that they’ve fixed the problem. [...]

Google has just announced an update to the Calendar app, adding a couple of new features, including what has been said to be one of the most requested features for Calendar – the ability to customise event and calendar colours on your mobile device. The update which is rolling out over the course of today [...]

Google teased us with a look at the new Gmail Android App during IO and today has unveiled a new Gmail experience for both the web and mobile, with Android and iOS Apps rolling out over the next few weeks. The new inbox introduces a tabbed view which gives you options for five tabs : [...]

Google Apps is a fantastic service which allows organisations (like Ausdroid) to leverage Google’s cloud and applications under a ‘white label’ arrangement. Through Google Apps, entire organisations, from small ones like Ausdroid to large ones like entire universities in the US, can offer email addresses under their own domain name, with shared contacts, calendar, Drive [...]

Lovers of home media setups will probably be familiar with Plex. Plex is a suite of applications which allow you to serve media from your home computer to other devices, which can themselves run a Plex client application or have embedded support for UPNP media discovery and playback. I personally have a MacMini with a [...]

For those that haven’t used Tapatalk before, it is a nice little application that allows you to easily browse through your favourite forums (including our own Ausdroid forums) as well as post comments. I find it to be a much easier way of browsing through multiple forums than using a mobile browser. I have been [...]

During the Google I/O keynote, Google showed us the new method for distributing beta version of your app through the play store and now DashClock Widget developer, Roman Nurik has started using this new method for beta testing his app. The process is quite simple: First, join the DashClock Widget community on Google+. If you [...]

Let’s face it – even with the improvements Google has made to the Play Store recently, it’s still not the best for application discovery, unless you already know exactly what you’re looking for. There are a number of alternative app stores, and even more applications to help you find other applications, but I don’t find [...]

This year’s Google I/O was different than previous years – no new version of Android was announced and no new devices were launched – but the lack of new products certainly didn’t mean that I/O 2013 was disappointing.
