If you have a phone with insufficient internal memory, Uninstall Manager will help you out. Those of us out there who are still using a smartphone with 8GB or even 4GB internal storage, the struggle for space is a real and constant problem. With games like N.O.V.A. 3 taking up about 2.4GB of space in your phone alone, even 16GB variants may not be enough for power users. This is where Google's new Uninstall Manager comes in. It is a new additional feature that's embedded within the Google Play Store itself. It tries to help you find more space by simply suggesting applications which you can uninstall in order to make room for the new one that you are trying to install.

Android Police further reports that the user will see a popup menu within the Play Store which will show all the uninstall suggestions, along with the size of the installed files and the amount of space you are currently lacking for the new application to be installed on your phone. The suggestions are of course, based on the usage statistics data of the consumer and therefore they will consist of apps that you rarely or never use. In order to get the Uninstall Manager on your system, you don't need to download anything, just update the Play Store to its latest version and you are all set.

Casual games might once have been seen as lesser than triple A titles but they have their own place on your Android device. With millions of games on the Play Store, here are the ones that we love to pick up and play in seconds.

Alto's Adventure

If you loved Temple Run then download this game from the Play Store right now, as it has the same UI with even more features. Instead of escaping evil creatures from the temple, you'll be snowboarding down the mountain, attempting to beat an avalanche to the bottom.

Playing beautifully on just about every Android device and offering a new twist on reflex testing action, Alto's Adventure is the perfect pick up and play game. The art style of the game is yet another plus point, as it has a Mayan vibe - think The Emperor's New Groove. Connect with friends to compare high scores and beat each other to the bottom of the mountain before you know it.

Geometry Dash Meltdown

This rhythm based game will have you tapping your fingers and feet in unison when you play it. It looks kind of like Super Mario for the NES but the interface is totally different. Expect bright colours and jazzy tunes to keep you scrolling through each level in style. The geometric shapes and level based gameplay makes this game a one of a kind creation, which looks best on HD screens.

The aim of the game is to get from one side of the level to the other, without getting trapped in any of the pitfalls on the way. It's one of those games that can be played in an instant but can take a lifetime to master properly and complete. On the lower levels the soundtrack is slow and almost melodic but as the levels heat up, so do the effects. Eventually, it becomes a fast paced game that might just have you throwing your phone out the window in frustration.

Thanks to GeekCeption, we can now look at most of the beautiful animations embedded in Android N, before its official release. In fact, he films them all in slow motion, which makes them even cooler to look at. Everything you see is of course, based on the latest developer preview that Google released a while ago.

There are people who will try to convince you that these effects are unnecessary, but they are wrong. A user interface is all about the user experience and how the different animations look while performing various tasks on the phone is an integral part of that experience. There's a reason as to why the OEM companies put so much effort and money into the special effects and animations; it is because of the fact that without them, smartphones would just be boring pieces of technology that people use.

Apart from the tech bit, one simply cannot ignore the happiness and excitement that can be seen on the host's face throughout the video! You might start to smile a bit yourself as the infectious cheerfulness begins to catch on by the end of the video. Take a look now to see what we are talking about.

Android's new software is set to make life easier for the average user. Google's release of the Android N Developer Preview 2 has brought several changes for Android, with it being dubbed as the best release yet. As you can guess, the update is all about convenience and efficiency. The software will allow you to play your favorite games like Temple run and online casino on sites such as au.royalvegascasino.com at a much faster and smoother pace.

There have also been several UI modifications. The folder design has undergone a revamp, offering a clear indication of what apps are in the folder, compared to the staggered pile in the previous folder design.

Android emoji's have long received criticism, with many users seemingly preferring those on iOS, but thankfully, the new software has given the human emoji's a makeover, and they now look a lot more attractive.

There have been several enhancements to the notification system also. Android N allows users to receive incoming message notifications quickly and efficiently, without having to leave the notification shade. A feature named bundled notifications. The grouped notifications can be expanded into individual notifications with a two-fingered gesture or by simply tapping the new expansion button. The new-found system will undoubtedly tidy things up, as well as speeding things up, allowing you faster replies.

Additional shortcut options are now also available. They can be provided from apps on the launcher, and allow access to various useful features. This includes being able to quickly compose a message when selecting the Messenger app.

Similar to the shortcut innovative, there is also a multi-window support function. It's a being that has long being part of the likes of Apple, Samsung and Acer, but now, Android are finally on board. Better late than never, Android's feature has been described as elegant.

Now, when you wish to open up two apps side-by-side, you can hold the square button to activate multi-window mode, with the initial app you want to have open. Depending on the orientation of your device, the screen will then split in half, either vertically or horizontally. The other half of the display will show a rotating carousel of recent apps you're already familiar with. You are then able to select the secondary app you wish to use, which will fill the remaining half of the screen.

With the final release due out around July, we can expect even more improvements to come. The future looks bright for Android.

A brand new version of Apple Music was released on April 28 for Android smartphone users. The most significant change that it brings to the table is that Android users can now access music videos within the application. This is a big change because earlier, this feature was exclusively available to Apple hardware only. Along with this, the app has also introduced a "Family Plan," in which the entire family (a maximum of six) can enjoy the services of Apple Music for a monthly subscription of $14.99. Considering the fact that it generally costs $9.99 per month for every individual subscriber, this sounds like a good plan for families all around.

This update comes in after about two months since the last one, which allowed users to store or move downloaded content on to an external SD card. The effort seems to be in line with Apple trying to boost its services in regard to the video content available on Apple Music. In addition to Vice Media's new exclusive documentary series for Apple Music that was released in March, the company might also be working with Dr Dre to launch a fresh TV show through the app. Since Spotify and Google Play has this area covered for Android users, it would be interesting to see how Apple Music's new features are received by the Android crowd.
