A Home Screen replacement that can be easily activated/deactivated so you can switch your mobile/tablet to a child mode.
Features:
You can turn your tablet/mobile in a family device by just enabling the app. It behaves as a launcher so it blocks most of the access to unwanted features (it even blocks the taskbar without being root, only in Android 4.0, 4.1 has disabled this).
Dads can filter which apps are available for their kids, so they can avoid them to access to unwanted apps.
It recommends new apps for installing (from third party at the Google Play Store), reviewed by the Cience Education Institue of the University of Girona (Spain).
The desktop, called MILAN Playground is an interactive environment, with a lot of elements that react and move by touching them, so the desktop itself is like a game.
Parents can protect the configuration with a password.
New scenarios/desktops coming in future updates.
Now the story behind this (you can skip it, is not that interesting but I wanted to share it):
Not so long ago, I decided I wanted to develop games and interactive apps for different platforms. I got really lucky, and a company hired me as a freelancer to develop a software they were planning to include in a tablet for launching next August. This was at the end of the last year.
I suggested them an interactive desktop for kids (the tablet was family oriented), with a lot if interactive elements so the desktop could be like a game itself. They liked the idea and I started to work on it part time, combining it with my full time job and family.
Some weeks ago, I got fired from my job, and instead of feeling miserable (well I feel like it a little bit, but not too much: being fired never is easy) I realized how lucky I am now for being able to work full time in something I like and, hopefully, will pay the bills (for now).
So here it is, an interactive desktop for Android, that can be easily switched by changing the default desktop (just press "exit" and it will ask for your default launcher). I'm really excited as it is my first big app designed and made by myself. It maybe has some rough edges, so here's where I need your help, I need your feedback.
The company that hired me is called MILAN (like the Italian city), so the app is called MILAN Playground.
PS: They are considering to add some specific features available through an unlocker. I'll update the post when I have news about this.

Greetings fellows
I've created an app that might just solve your everlasting battle with privacy, or something of that effect.
Are you afraid your phone or tablet might be stolen or is your little brother, annoying friend or perhaps untrusting girlfriend snooping around your phone behind your back? Do they even continue to say that they're innocent of this horrendous privacy infringement? Then download CrookCatcher and bust them on the spot! A photo and location will be sent to your email when intruders are caught trying to unlock your phone. Stick the awkward selfie up in their face, and I can almost guarantee that their nose will stop "growing" at once.
Features
• Take photo with the front facing camera on incorrect unlock attempt
• You select the number of failed unlock attempts before CrookCatcher takes action
• Find location of device
• Receive email notification with photo and location
• Uses the default Android Lock Screen
• No services running in the background = little to no impact on battery
• Browse photos with location on the device, with (what I think is) an intuitive interface.
The Concept
... is not entirely new, several apps doing somewhat the same already exists in Google Play. I, however, found these to either be build on a jerky design that was hard to comprehend and navigate, or I found them too expensive - and that is why I created CrookCatcher.
CrookCatcher is namely, designed to be simplistic and easy to figure out. A setup guide is build into the app, which lets you set the few things necessary up with ease and speed. And, best of all. CrookCatcher is free, and no, that doesn't mean ads instead. CrookCatcher is free to use. If you like the app, if the app has even helped you retrieve your stolen phone or tablet, and you want to show your appreciation, you can make a donation from within the app to help support a hungry nerd and keep development going.
Get it on Google Play https://play.google.com/store/...
Check out the accompanying website: http://jakobharteg.com/crookcatcher.html
Cheers, Jakob
Wanna concentrate on work, study, or spend more time with family and friends? Oops, a notification comes, had better pick up the buzzing phone to check what it is. I bet many of us are in the same deep mess, decide to get something done but be lured by the appealing apps. Are there any methods to help us clear the distractions and be focused?
Do you think I’m now introducing AirDroid which can help you manage your Android on a web browser? Not this time now. The app we are gonna recommend today is Forest: Stay focused, an app that helps us get rid of phone addiction, stay focused on the important things and stop phubbing.

Features
• A self-motivated and interesting method to help you beat phone addiction
• Cultivate your personal pattern of time management: make good use of 30-minutes to fully concentrate on your work and finish it effectively
• Share your forest with friends
• Track your history in a simple and pleasant way
• Customize your whitelist : Leaving Forest and using apps in whitelist won’t kill your tree.
How it works
Everytime when you need to stay away from your phone, plant a seed in Forest. The seed will grow into a tree gradually in the next 30 minutes:
DO NOT touch your phone again once timing starts, or you’ll kill the little cute tree (You Monster!!).
By the way, this app allows users to whitelist at most 3 specific apps for emergency use. The tree won’t be killed if the whitelisted apps been opened during the 30 minutes. Oh, one trick that may be useful: if you are focusing on work on the computer but receiving an important message, try sign in to web.airdroid.com and reply the message, efficiently and the tree still grows well. We’ve tested this already
Everyday you’ll get a forest filled with lush or withered trees. Each single tree represents a 30-minute’s concentration:
Generally, it’s an easy-to-use app, an interesting twist of pomodoro. It’s funny that I feel I should be responsible for that inanimate tree. It’s totally my fault if that tree dies. I’ve already killed 3 trees in 1 day
Forest: Stay focused is a free download on Google Play now. Plant a seed, take care of your trees and build up your own forest.
Hello everyone! We are a team of two people, which is developing our first game in our life. Actually, I'm a programmer and I will continue to write on their own behalf. The second member of the team - the craftsman.
We had no experience in creating not that games, mobile applications in general. Add to that only one year of experience in Java. Mix all with an incredible desire to do something special. Thousands of pages of books read and sleepless nights. Well, I digress ...
Generally in this topic I would like to not only keep a diary of development, but also to talk about what is needed to make such an application. What you have to sacrifice and what invaluable experience and joy of each screw screwed receive.
Our game is called Key Of Knight.

The idea and the beginning of development began in July of this year (2014). We did not understand much. But it should be said at once. If you're just a beginner, start with a scenario and not to start programming until it thoroughly (!) will not be realized. This is really very important, you will save a lot of time in the future. Think about the concept and try to abstract the key points that can later be expanded functional with minimal changes. Greater attention should be given the choice of engine. We chose a cross-platform implementation - LibGDX. Personally, I use to fit your needs desktop version and android. All tests on the desktop, and then made the game a file to the connected device android.
But I will not weary. The main point of the game - training ability to print in multiple languages with a parallel study of these same languages.
All wrapped in a dynamic game with a bunch of beautiful animation and storyline. There is a pumping system and a variety of arts, dress up a hero.
And that's not all ...
We plan to release the game as a free to play 15 December this year, while only one location and 20 th levels. We will try to update and add new ones as soon as possible.
Now we have reached the beta test. The game is already in google play, but is only available for testers. In the next few days I'll post a link to the full version.
We will also be glad to get your opinion to answer questions. It is also interesting your opinion, what can be expected from the market, how do you perceive this game, would like to download it.
We will be happy to advice and links to similar games, stories.

Hi,
I am the dev of AppHunt. A week ago my app was promoted here, in the XDA Picks: Best Apps of the Week (Apr 25 – May 1).
AppHunt is a curated list of apps updated in real time. The online community of users select and vote the best apps: either disruptive new apps or apps with new awesome features. The idea is basically a mix of ProductHunt and reddit for android apps (now only apps in the play store).

Lot of users belong to this community and I want to do something useful, so this is the best place to ask you what new features do you want in AppHunt? What are the things you don't like and what things do you want to improve?
I had already lot of feedback but I want to prioritize and avoid develop features for only a couple of people. Here are some ideas for new features and things I should change :
Followers: you get notified when a user you follow post an app
New find/ask feature, users can start a thread to ask for an app to other app hunters
Add the score of the top hunters to the profile page
Improved the support and design for tablets
Add animations and cool transitions between activities (I really want to spend some time here but I think it is not really relevant to people to use the app, maybe I am wrong)
Dark theme / night mode. Some people also asked about themes, but I think everybody wants a dark theme
Redesign the app. I am not a designer and the design is not the best, with some help here this will improve a lot.
Change the name of the app: AppTrend (any other suggestion?) The reason for a new name is because there is another app with the same name and that is not good for marketing purposes
New logo (see image below)
Push notifications (which are coming soon)
It's been broken for quite awhile, still listed on Google play though. What's the issue?

Hi guys!
I've just released the new version of our home workout app named Qoach!
We've created the app during the first quarantine in France, the second has just started today... so, that's the perfect time to train at home! :laugh:
We have worked with a professional sport coach for the content, and with an illustrator to create a clean UI.
It would be great if you could give us some feedback about the app
Thanks in advance!
Qoach
Your new workout partner has arrived!
Developed in collaboration with a qualified sports coach, Qoach offers you different programs to work your whole body!
Cardio, strengthening, weight training... just pick the right fit for you!
Features
----------------------
* Varied programs: abs, buttocks, cardio, back pain and many others
* Several levels of difficulty
* Voice, audio and visual cues
* Detailed animations for each exercise
* Descriptions and expert recommendations
* Statistical monitoring of your workouts: exercise time, calories burned, etc.
And of course, new programs to come very soon!
Here is the link to the Play Store
I'd really love to try these workout apps. However, I do not understand that most of them are not available for the Android TV. If it were available for the TV, it would have been more interesting and fun with the whole family joining in. Can you please extend this to the TV too?
Thanks
Hi Paparasee, thank for you feedback! You're not the first to tell us about a TV feature. When you say Android TV, you think about downloading the app directly from the Android TV Play Store, right? Or something more like Chromecast?
Thanks!

I was hoping to install it directly on my TV. I used to use casting features but now that I've got a full Android TV, I'm hoping to use it directly as it is so much more convenient. Also, I want to use an app to stay fit (not build muscles) and want to do it along with my family so that we spend time together doing something rather than staring at the mobile.
