New essential Android apps thread

Any apps for grabbing videos of YouTube for viewing without hammering mobile allowance? Can do it on the pc but obviously easier to do direct.

You can just add video's to 'Watch later' and set them to pre-cache in settings?

 

[Buckster]

how do you pre-cache in youtube ?

thought they'd removed "preloading"

I watch a lot of youtube content - but even though I have unlimited mobile allowance, nigh on impossible to watch content on train etc as in and out of signal too much

Huh, the developer said he was taking a break to spend time with his new family on the G+ page.

I like the look of the new features though! Will have a play around with it!

Yeah, when i read that I installed Apex again. Weird! Might check it out as I still think Nova is smoother than Apex.

Is there a good way to block numbers from calling me? Got one number that keeps calling about PET or some such guff. Just want a way to block that number, and any more that may crop up in the future. I've seen that Samsung ones seem to have the option, but nothing for my nexus.

Surprised Google haven't natively added this yet. Come on Google!

This works fine: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrnumber.blocker

It's strange Google didn't add an option to do this, other manufacturers allow you to block numbers from their stock dialer app.

Trying out the beta Nova launcher. It was a Revelation installing nova and this new one fixes a lot of things I wanted. Things like scrolling wallpaper was something that never worked on my HTC one so im glad that they have fixed it now.

What have people bought with their Amazon app store coins? There's literally nothing in there.

Type Rider and Monument Valley so far, both games I'd wanted from the Play Store so that saved me a bit of money. As you said though, there's really not a lot else at all. You'd think Amazon might be a bit more picky about what they allow on there but so much of it is just crap.

New Google Camera update has some neat new stuff. 16:9 photo mode too, finally!

 

[rogueblade]

[mrk]

No, in time...

I'm in the same boat, got 2640 coins to spend but there isn't anything I want
