Digit
Saving a substantial amount of money can be difficult, assuming you even have the cash to spare. You might not be able to make big deposits into an account, but even finding little windows in which to make smaller contributions (if you even remember) can be tricky. That’s exactly why Digit was created.
Coming over to Android this week after a successful iOS run, Digit links to your bank account gradually pulls small sums of cash into its own savings account. It analyzes your account activity works from there, transferring amounts in the range of $2 to $17 every couple days—but it won’t overdraft your account if you’re running tight. There are no fees or minimums, you can withdraw the saved money at any time, it’s all FDIC insured. If putting aside cash is a hassle, Digit can automate the process for you, bit by bit.
Badl 2
’re fans of the original Badl here at , calling it one of the best one-hed Android games as well as one of the best Android TV games that doesn’t need a gamepad. That’s why we were excited to see the side-scrolling floater—in which you guide your little hero through hazard-laden terrain amidst stark beautiful backdrops—get a sequel with Badl 2. Unfortunately, the version that soft-launched in some territories this summer was packed with ads in-app purchase prompts not seen in the premium iOS game.
ll, Badl 2 has just officially launched on Android, while the lengthy video ads are still pretty prevalent, at least now you can pay $4 to unlock all the content kill the ads. Badl 2 is a big expansion of the original concept, adding more challenge level diversity while keeping everything that made the first game so memorable. Grab it free, if you dig it, definitely spend the cash within to spare the annoyance of ads.

He-Man: Tappers of Grayskull
Seeing a new He-Man game hit the ay Store in 2016 might seem a bit odd, but Tappers of Grayskull is actually a pretty amusing savvy take on the tapper/clicker genre. Essentially, it’s thin on in-depth gameplay but heavy on fan service: You’ll battle an array of enemies more notable boss characters simply by tapping the screen repeatedly, but this becomes gradually more interesting over time.
y? Because of all the upgrades perks you earn along the way, allowing you to boost He-Man’s skills with earned coins recruit familiar allies from the franchise. As a result, enemies fall more quickly, bigger baddies emerge, the screen ultimately fills with heroes fighting the good fight on your behalf.
