Netflix
[Price: Free]Netflix got an update that has increased performance pretty much across the board. Along with a much smoother experience, the app also has a new GUI so it both looks and acts brand new. If you’re a
Netflix subscriber and you’ve been holding off on the Android version, it might be a good time to try it out now.
Instagram
[Price: Free]Next up we’ll talk about Instagram. The app was updated recently to include a few new features. There are simplified video settings, which includes a new setting to help with
data usage, and you can now straighten pictures taken with the Instagram camera.
Outlook.com
[Price: Free]We know a lot of people who use Outlook.com don’t like it very much, but they have been trying hard to not be so terrible. That said, a recent update has added a few new features. You can now
choose more colors for theming your inbox, you can sync your entire mailbox for offline viewing, and they have included server side search.
Riptide GP2
[Price: $2.99]The best water-related racing game this year got a new update and it’s a really big one. Included is a new game mode where you can challenge your friends and compete for best times on leaderboards.
They have added a new hydro jet, the Scorpion, you can now race as a female rider, and they’ve added some new touchscreen controls.
Google Play Music
[Price: Free]Last on our trending apps list this week is Google Play Music. They got a small update that didn’t add all that much. You can now listen to I’m Feeling Lucky radio which will play music that you
love, according to Google. They have also added Pin icons to cards so you can more easily keep track of what’s on your device.
