Google Admin Gets updated

This week, Google updated their Google Admin app for the first time in over a year. So what’s new? Well let’s look at the changelog:

  • Optional 4 digit PIN that works across devices
  • Ability to switch between multiple accounts quickly
  • New sharper icons
  • Accessibility Compliance
  • Bug fixes

Greyhound brings their app to Android

Greyhound Lines finally brought their app on over to Android. So now you can see when your bus will arrive and also buy tickets and much more. It’s been on iOS for quite a while, but only hit Android this week.

Google+ Updates to v4.7

Google+ got a pretty small update this week. It jumped up to version 4.7, and it brings in some very minor changes. Our guess is that it’s mostly bug fixes, seeing as Google hasn’t given us a changelog, once again. If you notice anything new let us know.

Google Docs, Slides and Sheets All Go Material

This week, Google updated their Google Drive apps – including Drive – to be material. We’ve actually heard that internally the deadline for everyone to have a material app is November 3rd which is Monday and also the day that the Nexus 9 starts shipping out. So we should see a bunch of material design apps coming in the next few days.

Bitstrips Launches Bitmoji for Android

Many of you are probably familiar with Bitstrips. Well they just launched Bitmoji for Android. What the app does is it takes your favorite avatar that you created and turns it into emojis. Which you can see in the video above. It’s actually really cool.
