Summer will end soon, but the applications that have been released in the past months are starting to become popular and many users will want to install some of them, according to their needs. We’ve selected the coolest applications that were published lately on the Google Play store, and you’ll see that each one is different and comes with unique features.
Link Bubble
This application behaves like a browser, so when you click on a link inside an application, the webpage will be loaded in the background and will animate on screen. Instead of waiting for the current app to load the link, you will continue to do what you were doing, then you’ll open the webpage when it’s fully loaded. The app has light and dark themes, it can load more links, simultaneously, and it provides a Reading mode, so you won’t see ads or other texts that will tire your eyes. It has deep integration with other applications and when you’re clicking on a link from Twitter which redirects to Instagram, you will no longer see a full screen browser. If a webpage has embedded YouTube videos, Link Bubble will locate them and will give a shortcut for them, to load them directly in the YouTube app. However, Link Bubble will never ask permission to access your location, like other applications.
Etsy
Etsy is a marketplace where you’ll find handmade and vintage goods for sale. From here, you’ll buy special gifts, handmade jewelry, get ideas for wedding arrangements and you’ll explore and learn about new techniques for creating clothes, furniture etc. Currently, there are 20 million members and the number keeps increasing every day. With this application, you can “favorite” items and check them later, you will interact with the sellers and you’ll be notified when an order ships.
