Welcome to the 309th edition of Android Apps Weekly! Here are the big headlines from the last week:
- The Google Play Store may get an Easter egg. It’s a simple little arcade game with similar graphics to the dinosaur game on Google Chrome. You simply slide left and right to avoid obstacles and collect things. It’s been an Easter egg type of week because of this Google Search Easter egg in honor of the Holi festival. Hit both links to check out each Easter egg.
- Google, Adidas, and EA Sports joined together to create a neat little gadget. The gadget tracks you while you play soccer and then syncs your stats to an app on your phone. From there, you sync it with FIFA Mobile to get in-game rewards. This is very similar to Pokemon Go’s hardware accessories, but it’s a little more expensive and there are more steps between the hardware and FIFA Mobile. The device itself goes for about $35.
- Last year, Google made a big deal about John Legend’s voice and its inclusion with Google Assistant. That is ending soon so enjoy it while you can. Legend’s voice is available until March 23rd. There isn’t much else to the story. There’s a good chance it was just a temporary deal to get some headlines for Google Assistant
