Whether you’re exploring a new country or reconnecting with an old neighborhood this summer, Android Wear can help you get timely and local information, directly on your wrist. With an updated Google Maps app and API for Android Wear, it’s now even easier to know where you’re going, while leaving your phone in your pocket or purse.

Google Maps for Android Wear
Just say “Ok Google, navigate to…” to bring up Google Maps’ improved turn-by-turn guidance and full-screen navigation view on your watch. And with always-on screen support, your map view remains on your wrist in battery-saving mode, even when you’re not actively looking at your screen.

Glanceable maps in lots more apps
Many travel apps integrate with Google Maps on Android Wear to bring what’s around you to your wrist. Use HotelTonight to track hotel rates and get notified right on your watch when the price is right. Forgot to pack your toothbrush? Priceline customers can use Android Wear to locate the closest convenience store.

As you stroll through a neighborhood, Foursquare will make sure you won’t walk by and miss a restaurant’s legendary burrito. And TripAdvisor will tell you about the city’s best comedy club that you should visit now (or save for tomorrow night, directly from your watch). You’ll blend right in with the locals as you expertly navigate a new city’s public transport with Citymapper’s step-by-step directions right on your wrist.

No matter how caught up you get in your adventures, be sure to take the time to check-in with your loved ones. With Glympse on Android Wear, you won’t even need to take out your phone! And should your vacation inspire bigger life changes, use Trulia or Zillow to glance at all the home sale listings in your new, beloved neighborhood.

No matter where you go, Android Wear lets you stay on track while freeing your hands for an ice-cream cone—or two. So before you hit the road this summer, be sure to pack your Android Wear watch and your favorite travel apps.

Revolution is another endless type of game, but with different implementation.
The game objective is to move the square box from one ring to another ring above it.
All you need to do is to tap the screen to make the square box jump from one ring to another ring.

Looks simple right? Well, the ring has 2 colors combination: green and red. And the ring is spinning. When jumping, you have to avoid the red one, because the square box will get destroyed whenever you are bumping into the red one.
Another challenge for this game is that you can't really wait too long to jump into the correct color, because the walls surrounding the ring are getting closer and closer, pinching the ring. So make sure to jump before the ring get pinched.

http://android711.blogspot.com/

Mountain Goat Mountain is a new game from Zynga. This game is pretty much similar to Down The Mountain game here (currently available only for iOS), but instead of climbing down the mountain, this game is climbing (jumping) up the mountain.

You are playing as a goat. Your objective is to get the highest score by reaching as high as you can. Avoid obstacles such as unstable rocks, water and abyss. Collect the coins and don't forget to eat the grass, otherwise you will run out of energy. Get the spring item to help you jump higher temporarily.

When I played this game, only after a few games I did realize that the goat can be controlled backwards/step back, by swiping down left to step back to the left and swiping down right to step back to the right. Previously I thought the goat can only move forward.

And after a few games also, only I knew that the control can be changed from 2 way to 4 way on the options (screw/bolt icon) where I can instead tap (and not tap and swipe) on 4 direction: top left, top right, down left and down right.

Ultimately, this game is fun to play, especially to kill your spare time.

Here is the game trailer:

This game offers in-app purchases to buy the rare goats.
This game can be played offline/without internet access.

Who doesn't know PowerPoint?
I believe most of us who use it either at school, college and even office for helping making and doing the presentations.

The great thing in this mobile era is that Microsoft finally has made the mobile version of PowerPoint that truly powerful and like the real PowerPoint you had/used in desktop.

Depends on your account and subscription type, you can have the full feature of PowerPoint, from creating new slide, edit existing slide, open and view existing slide. If you don't have any subscription, don't worry, you can still use the app to open and view your existing slide.

When creating new slides, Microsoft gives 2 type of templates: 16:9 widescreen or 4:3 standard.
Right now the app gives 24 templates to be used to, including blank templates. Unfortunately it seems that there is no way at the moment to create your own template using the mobile version of PowerPoint.

The PowerPoint app also supports cloud drive such as OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox and Google Drive.

This app offers in-app purchases in forms of Office 365 subscriptions.
This app can be used offline/without internet access. However if you require to open/fetch files from your cloud drive, then internet access is needed.

Current version varies between devices, however the app requires Android 4.4 (KitKat) and up. Android M is not yet supported.

Well, Godzilla film has been aired for quite some time ago, however just few days ago I manage to play the official game from the film.

Godzilla - Smash3, unlike its name, is not the 3rd iteration of the game, so you won't find Godzilla - Smash and Godzilla - Smash2. I don't know why the name it that way and I can't find the real reason behind the naming. Anyway the game itself is fun and challenging to play.

Godzilla - Smash3, is an action puzzle game, if you ever play Battle Camp, the gameplay is similar to it. Play as Godzilla, your mission is to eliminate anything that block your way, including humans with all their jets, tanks, anti-aircraft missile car, building, bridge, and muto.

Check the trailer here:

Upgrade your Godzilla, so that it can have better attack, defense and atomic (to be used for Godzilla deadly move - shoot laser from its mouth).

The game uses life model - total 5 life, where each fail or quit missions cost you 1 life. The life itself can be regenerated after some minutes.

Office Lens is the newest app from Microsoft that acts like a pocket scanner. It does scanning your real world objects and turning them into 2D readable office image/PDF/Word/Power Point.

Having discussion using whiteboard where all the ideas are in the whiteboard?
Use the Office Lens app to help you convert all those ideas on the whiteboard into 2D readable format.

Do you have receipt that you need to attach as proof of your purchase?
Easy, let the Office Lens help you to convert it to 2D readable format.

Based on my testing, the app not only converts the objects into 2D readable format, but also removes anything unnecessary such as, when I took photo of my ticket, I got my thumb finger on the ticket, however Office Lens removes my finger from the end result. See for yourself.

Amazing!
However, I did test to scan something else, but some of them were not converted properly. So as long as the distinction is clear between the object you want to convert and the area surround the object, Office Lens will convert it correctly.

This app is totally FREE and does not offers any in-app purchases.
This app can be used offline/without internet access. However if you want to upload your document to OneDrive or mail them, internet is required.

Current version varies between devices, however the app requires Android 4.0 (ICS) and up.
