News Beat App For Android

Most of the people love reading news and stay update about what's happening around the world in their respective section of interest. There are ton of apps in the play store already.

News beat just arrived on play store with some different approach, it is essentially a customize-able news app which has the ability to read the news for you , yes! you don't need to read the news any more just listen to it, app will do it all for you.

How it works ? 
okay it's simple just tell the News Beat what you like most in news and it will only show the content from that section, after fetching news from different sources about that section it will start reading for you .. we have male and female voices. Though, voices are not human like but not as well as on robotic side it is okay for most of the words .. but sometimes it sounds robotic while speaking some kind of name or place. But hey its okay for that moment when you are not really in mood to read anything just plug your earphones or put the phone on a dock and just listen to some important thing happening near you.

The version i am using on my phone needs continuous internet connection while app reading an article so i believe net connection is must for this app.. there are no offline saving options yet and sources are very limited. Yes, we can add RSS of our choice but yet sources about some topics are few.. hope they bring up some more functionality in future updates but for the moment its worth listening.

Its Free On play store you can check out by clicking on the following link TRY UP!

Link bubble App

Don't have any floating browser ? no issues link bubble is the solution. This newly popular app is very handy and it can save your ton of time...
HOW iT WORKS ?
Links from any application basically take you to your default Web Browser and you kind of leave that app for a moment but with Link Bubble its no more wating..
You can choose which application's link you want to open in Link Bubble. In the free version the choice of apps are limited but one should check free version before moving for the pro.
I have tried free version with my twitter app , whenever I clicked on any link it bring up a floating bubble and keep me in the twitter as well. So my link is also loading up in the background and I am reading some more tweets simultaneously as well so it saved up my hell lot time.
