It’s been a busy month for Android apps, with news from big names – Periscope from Twitter lading on the platform for the first time and notable updates to Flickr’s mobile apps.
Then, of course, there’s the black-and-white photography app Lenka, and an overhauled version of QuizUp. All you need to do is peruse the list below and choose your favorites.
Snap Me Up
Maybe you’re not like me. Maybe you like your morning alarm. Maybe you like selfies. If that is the case, there’s a good chance you’ll also like Snap Me Up, a new Android app that won’t let you silence your alarm until you’ve taken
a selfie.
If you just want to set a normal alarm, you can do that too, but it sort of negates the point of
downloading it in the first place.
There’s also a nap option if you just want a quick snooze.

MixRadio
MixRadio, once the preserve of Windows Phone devices, launched for iPhone and Android this month.
Just like on Microsoft’s mobile OS, it allows you to create personalized radio stations for free from its
database of 35 million tracks – and allows you up to six skips per hour.
It promises to get better at curating your own station over time as it learns what you like, and what you don’t. Alternatively, there are some
preset stations according to genres or specific themese.

Periscope
Given how much noise there has been around live-streaming apps recently, there’s a good chance that you knew already that Periscope
arrived on Android this month.
If you somehow didn’t, you do now.
Just like on iOS, it allows you to create a live broadcast of whatever you are doing and share it with the world. Or you could just watch other
people’s streams, if that’s more your thing.

QuizUp
QuizUp shot to popularity at the end of 2013, but it took until this month for the company to significantly revamp the platform to put more
emphasis on social interaction around gaming.
Indeed, alongside quizzing, the app now has full profiles and revamped UI to make it easier for you to find opponents based on age, topics, gender etc.
The update also ushered in support for playing QuizUp on the desktop for the first time.

Mistaken
Yes, Mistaken is a photo-sharing app, but it’s one with a very simple premise. You take a photo, never see it and instead see a stranger’s photo in return.
Sound a bit weird? Perhaps. But admit it, you’re tempted to see what you’ll get in return aren’t you?
Thankfully, you don’t need an account or anything like that if you want to test the app out.
