[APP][4.1+] Who Has Died Recently? - Android Apps and Games

Who Has Died Recently is very unique and maybe a little odd app, that can inform you about recent famous people deaths. Famous people which means e.g. scientists, artists, celebrities, athletes, politicians etc.
Actually it's my first app developed for Android, but in my opinion - it works pretty good. I always wanted to have app like this, but couldn't find anything similar - so I have decided to create this app on my own.
What you can do with this app? First of all you can check, who just passed away. Death list is chronological ordered, so you can see famous deaths day by day. On list you can see dead person age, cause of death (if such is available at that moment), nationality and what subject was noted for. Of course there is also notification feature (app checking for new data in every half of hour). Notifications are turned off by default.
Who Has Died Recently is of course a FREE app, you can download it from Google Play: Who Has Died Recently
If you have any suggestions, ideas or wish to report me a bug, just fell free to write it here
Thanks for reading this and (maybe) installing my app

Listen to Wikipedia

I didn't know where to share this, so I hope this is the right place.
I recently was discussing sleep with my friend and we both shared our methods on winding down after a long day and my friend told me about this website:
http://listen.hatnote.com
It's totally free and requires no subscription. Basically every time a Wikipedia article is updated/edited it plays a sound, which all come together quite well.
I discovered that with Android Lollipops chrome tabs being separate in the new card style task manager, the music on the website will continue to play in the background when your switching between apps...
Listening to this for an hour before bed while checking my emails, IM'ing etc... I found to be totally and utterly relaxing. It's also fairly awesome because the sound is being created by information online being edited or updated so it really brings out the beauty in information and knowledge.
I thought it was a nice thing to share
Good!!!:good:

[GAME] "YKWIM?" - a new Taboo-like game (free)

Hi there,
I've been self-learning app making and started with Android. Creating a Taboo app was one of my first ideas and after a long time I finally finished it. It's one of my first apps, but I believe it's leagues above any of the other taboo apps out there!
It's called "YKWIM?" (You know what I mean?). It works like the the card game Taboo, where you get your friends to guess the word without using the words listed on the card. I'd argue my app's sleeker design and swipe-functionality makes it stand out against the competition.
Here's a link to the google play store page:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmail.niu58.charles.Taboo
The idea has been something I'd been working on for over a year. But only a couple weeks ago I really buckled down and re-did the whole thing from scratch. There are over 450 cards in there, that I made myself -grueling. Most of the code work was done in two days. But it took me about two weeks from start to finish to finalize the designs, create the pictures, etc etc (on top of going to school). I don't study cs or have a background in it (history major actually), but despite that, this project didn't feel too tough to do.
I'm hoping to get any kind of feedback - critique on how the app can be better, advice on development, etc. Looking forward to learning more!

[APP][FREE] Carpooling - Manage shared drives with your travel companions!

I would like to introduce you my first app.
Every day I have to do several kilometers to work. To reduce fuel costs, we share the car between some work colleagues, alternating each day between each car.
Because of the need to keep track of whose turn it is, I have developed a simple app to manage this. I thought that possibly many people would be in the same situation, so I finally decided to publish it.
Here you have the link and I hope you like it:

Suggestions are wellcome to improve the app.
uup!

[APP]NeverForget Reminder - A New Revolutionary Location Reminder

Hey guys,
We are a small team of android developers that had a cool idea of a reminder app which we have released to the market some time ago.
The app called 'NeverForget Reminder' and the idea is simple: A solution to forgetting stuff when you leave your home(or your current location). There are tons of situations when this app may be useful. A classic example is when you leave your home at the morning to your job, you surely need to take with you some stuff such as your bag, wallet, keys, etc.. NeverForget's Reminder purpose is to make sure you won't forget any of it again. Another example is when you visit your friends house and you brought with you some stuff, when leaving it, the last thing you want is to forget that stuff at your friends home. NeverForget will remind you to take it when you leave that place.
One of our main goals was to make the app as simple as possible, so there is one main button. Click it to start the reminder. And when you will leave your current place, the app will start a loud alarm. There are additional options available such as setting the alarm name or taking a photo of the stuff you need to take.
After thinking of this idea, we have searched a lot and could not find any solutions to that common problem. After deeper search we understood why is that. There is NO way to determine device's location inside a building, for these days. GPS does not working inside closed places, and that was our biggest issue that we successfully overcame with NeverForget.
Basically what we do is rely on WiFi networks around you. Then we make calculations to determine when you getting away from that network and when you do, a load alarm starts with a reminder. If no WiFi networks around you, GPS service is required.
The app is FREE to use and available at Google Play.
We would appreciate your feedback and hope you will try out our app - NeverForget Reminder.
For any questions you can send us an email to: [email protected]

Thanks.

[APP] Google removed Goals from Google Calendar today. So I created Goaly, a complete replacement and more!

TL;DR:
I created an app that schedules your goals automatically at the best free time in your Google Calendar. This is a complete replacement to Goals that leaves Google Calendar tomorrow.
Android Download
iOS Download
Feel free to open issues on the app Github page. That would help me keep track of the issues
Background
I am using Google Calendar and Goals religiously. After Google announced that they’re removing Goals I started working on Goaly. For those who aren’t familiar, Goals used to be a feature in Google Calendar that allowed you to create a “goal” - something you want to do every x days or x times a week. It would then take those goals and automatically schedule them in your calendar based on your free time and other preferences. Once a goal was completed you could tap “Did it” to mark it as completed and keep a streak.
If this sounds great it’s because it is. It was a super handy feature I found myself using all the time to find time for my workouts, meditations and even calling my mom.
Unfortunately Google announced that they're removing this feature in November (as they do), so I decided to create it myself.
The goal of Goaly
Goaly is firstly meant to be a complete replacement to Google Calendar’s goals feature. That means that Goaly can
intelligently finds free time in your schedule based on your preferences
schedules goals automatically for you
keeps track of your goals
allows multi device support so you can view and manage goals from your phone/laptop/PC etc
Examples
I use Goaly to schedule time for my workouts whenever I have 2 hours to spare. I also use it to schedule meditations 5 times a week, call my mom once a week and do my studies twice a week.

Help from you
The app was just released from early access today. I still have many features planned and I would LOVE to get more insights from you
If you’re missing any features from the original Google Calendar goals or if you have any features you would like to see in Goaly please let me know
If you run into any bugs, please either PM me or comment below
