    Welcome the new week with 45 temporarily free and 54 on-sale apps


    Sorry for the late posting, forgot to check for it last night/this morning.



    Edit: Connected Devices seems to be working again, problem was probably with MS Servers as the app was not updated!

    One Handed Mode by XDA Brings Apple’s Reachability Feature to Any Android Phone!
    As more and more smartphones with larger displays are released, consumers are finding it difficult to use their smartphones with one hand. While most basic actions such as taps and scrolls can be done with one hand, reaching for the top of the display to pull down the status bar or tap on an app’s toolbar can prove difficult. Some smartphone manufacturers like Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, and LG get around this by offering a special one handed mode feature. Not every smartphone has such a feature, like the tall Google Pixel 2 XL. That’s why we’ve been working on an app that brings this feature to any unrooted phone. Introducing One Handed Mode by XDA.

    .......
    The application is available starting today on the Google Play Store. The app is free to download, setup, and test in your favorite apps. However if you want to enable the floating bubble or change any of the settings, you will have to purchase the full version of the app through an in-app purchase. For the first week, that purchase will cost you $0.99. After one week, we will raise the price to $1.99.

    For non root phones an adb command is required to active permission for the app.





    Wallzy Pro - Custom UHD Wallpapers is free again down from €0.79




    No deals post on Wednesday or yet tonight on AP!

    Is there any app/widget that offers a real time run down of data used as you use it, preferably in the notification bar?
    I have unlimited so I'm not worried but just out of curiosity I'd like to see what each site/app that I use regularly use up.
    I've a feeling Boards would win lol.

    Start the week with 27 temporarily free and 25 on-sale apps
    Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the thrice-weekly app sales roundups. I took some time off from doing these to give myself a break, seeing as I was rapidly approaching serious burnout. Thank you to all of you who let me know how much you appreciate these and that you missed them — I'm sorry that you've been left in the dark for two weeks. All of that being said, we have quite the shoddy list to welcome us all back, and yet we trudge onward.

    Stay Zen (Ad Free) $1.49 (€1.69) -> Free; 5 days left



    [XDA] Safely Show Pictures to your Friends with Secure Photo Viewer
    Depending on what you keep saved on your smartphone, you may find it unnerving to hand the device over to a friend or family member just to show them a picture. Google has tried to solve this with features like App Pinning, but XDA Junior Member GreeTech just released a new application called Secure Photo Viewer to keep you safe. When using the application, you’ll be able to pick a photo that is stored on your device and that will be the only photo that can be viewed until you enter the PIN, password or pattern of your device.

    [XDA][App][4.0.3+] Secure Photo Viewer - The safest way to show pictures to your friends

    Play | XDA Labs



    Forgot to post the below when it came available: -

    Humble Bundle's Halloween selection includes 8 gruesome games
    ^^^ Just over 4 days left for it!


    Started a new thread on Monday: -

    Android Security Bulletin + Other vulnerabilities!
    ^^^ Hopefully a catch all thread for security vulnerabilities.
