ether you’ve emerged from the holiday season with a new Android phone or you’re still rocking the same hset you had a month ago, it’s probably high time to grab some new apps for the thing. oking for an exciting game to dive into, or a fresh app to check out? ’ve got you covered with five recent ay Store picks.

Telltale’s The lking Dead: Season Three is sure to entice fans of the zombie mega-franchise, especially those with save files from the previous game episodes, although it’ll take a pretty top-end phone to run. Otherwise, RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic, Oceanhorn are well worth a look on the games side of things, while NBA Inay is an intriguing companion app for hoops games on TV Stitcher Radio’s emium service is ideal for podcast junkies. 

The lking Dead: Season Three

Telltale Games

More than two years after the conclusion of the last full season—albeit with a Michonne spinoff mini-series released in between—Telltale’s The lking Dead: Season Three ($5) hit the ay Store over the holidays, resuming the grim gripping zombie-bashing adventure series. This five-part series, called “A New Frontier,” sees an older wiser Clementine paired with a new ally, vier, as they navigate new groups of survivors that have popped up amidst the undead apocalypse.

As before, The lking Dead is largely focused on storytelling, as you make dialogue choices that affect your relationships with other characters help shape the narrative ahead, although action sequences, exploration, larger decisions also play a part. If you played the previous seasons, you can import in a save file to continue your own story comm your particular version of Clementine, or you can choose to start fresh. 

The initial download grants you the first Season Three episode, Ties That Bind: rt One, rt Two is already available to purchase within for $5 with three more episodes coming. However, compatibility is pretty sparse right now: you’ll need a pretty new flagship-level phone to even download it, as the Samsung Galaxy S6 ge+ I’m using wasn’t even deemed capable enough to play the game. Hopefully further optimizations will help ease the requirements, otherwise a lot of fans won’t be continuing their quests on Android anytime soon.

NBA Inay

NBA

If you’re a huge hoops fan watch a lot of NBA games live on TV, then you might get a kick— maybe some prizes—out of NBA Inay. This new companion app puts a spin on fantasy sports, letting you pick a team from each day’s matchup then select which player you think will dominate each quarter of the game. en you watch the game, the app can recognize the game audio on TV sync up with the clock, letting you earn points from your picks even use limited-time boosts when a player is really hot. 

You can link up with friends or play against rom opponents, in any case, the more points you earn, the higher you’ll shoot up the leaderboards. Real prizes are promised for top winners, including a $35,000 Autotrader.com gift certificate or tickets to the NBA Finals, so there’s incentive to play a lot… thus watch a lot of TV, too. There’s a big catch, though: only nationally televised games on ES, TNT, ABC, or NBA TV count, so your hometown team’s games might not all make the cut.

RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic

Atari

Atari’s RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile has been a hit on Android, notching at least 10 million downloads, but the free-to-play design makes it a different experience than the old favorites. oking for something premium that’s closer in look feel to the early entries? ll, RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic ($6) ought to do the trick. It’s not a direct port of any single game, but rather a mash-up of elements from the first two titles, albeit now optimized for touch.

As ever, you’ll pick a park scenario—with 95 different ones here— build loads of cool rides, all while fleshing out the entire location, keeping customers happy, making money. Building one-of-a-kind coasters remains a unique thrill, RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic keeps the fun of the originals intact without the burden of in-game spending prompts or added timers. In fact, the only in-app purchases are for optional expansion packs. 

Stitcher emium

Stitcher Radio

Stitcher Radio has long been a top pick for Android podcast fans, as the app smartly collects suggests more than 40,000 shows, even offers a feed of “top stories” worthwhile listens. But if you’re really, really into listening to podcasts—or just really hate ads—then now you can boost the experience with Stitcher emium.

Available via in-app purchase on the stard Stitcher Radio app, the emium service cuts banner ads from the app any audio ads that Stitcher inserts into episodes, plus it offers early access to hit shows like F with Maron, Comedy Bang Bang, along with bonus episodes. You’ll also get exclusive access to 40+ Stitcher-produced shows, as well as albums from top comedians like Amy Schumer Aziz Ansari. Stitcher emium will set you back $5 a month or $35 a year, although you can check out a free trial for one week or one month, depending on the plan you pick.

Oceanhorn

Cornfox & Bros.

It’s long overdue, but Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas has finally arrived on Android— this attractive mobile adventure was surely worth the wait for role-playing fans. Released first on iOS a few years back, Oceanhorn is a clear homage to The gend of Zelda, particularly GameCube favorite The nd ker, finds your little hero smashing through enemies, exploring dungeons, sailing the seas in search of new ls.

Despite its age, Oceanhorn still has a very glossy premium look on Android, plus it features music from legendary panese R composers Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy) Kenji Ito (Romancing SaGa). The free download offers up the first chapter without payment, while the full-game unlock within is currently priced at $5.49. It may not hit the same creative peaks of the Nintendo classics it closely emulates, but Oceanhorn is still a highly compelling on-the-go quest.
