Weather Mate

[Price: Free]

Weather Mate is a new, simple weather app that shows you basic weather info at a glance. It’s not feature heavy like many others so it should do well if you’re looking for something quick that just tells you the weather. It has Material Design, a minimal interface, and it’s done up in the MIUI8 style of design as well. It’s a solid app, but it is new and some issues are being worked out. The developer has also expressed that widgets and notifications are coming in future updates.

Hockey Hero

[Price: Free with in-app purchases]

The NHL playoffs may be over, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop enjoying hockey. Hockey Hero is a new top-down hockey game where you must dodge defenders, get to the paint, and score a goal. You won’t be playing full hockey games which is a bit lame, but you can unlock all the standard NHL teams and it’s not a bad way to kill a few minutes. It features 8-bit graphics along with arcade style controls. It’s a free download and the in-app purchase strategy isn’t too bad.

Rhapsody VR

[Price: Free]

Rhapsody VR is a nifty idea where it provides a platform for artists to host and stream 360-degree content. The general idea is that you’ll be able to watch live music performances in 360-degree video. The app should work with Google Cardboard or just you holding your phone and it’s not a wholly different concept than what Coachella did earlier this year on YouTube. The app is having some problems with its design and performance so it may not be worth downloading right now, but keep it on your radar in case they decide to clean it up and make it nice.

Xbox

[Price: Free]

Xbox has rebranded their Xbox Smartglass application and are now calling it simply Xbox. The update game this last week and while it’s not a complete redesign, there were visual and functional tweaks to bring the app more in line with the Windows 10 version of the Xbox app. You’ll still be able to do a bunch of things like respond to messages and see who’s on, and you’ll be able to see activity feeds and access a controller to control your Xbox. The only thing missing is the ability to voice chat. Anyway, it’s still free if you want it.
