Five Apps to Try this Weekend: featuring Google Photos and My Talking Tom

Welcome back to Softonic’s 5 Apps to try this weekend, the show that helps you discover apps to keep yourself entertained from Friday to Monday.

This week we talk about the A5 Browser, the lightweight internet tool that only takes up one 1MB of space on your Android device.

After that, it is over to the ever popular My Talking Tom, as the chatty feline finally makes his way on to Windows 8 (also available for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone).

We also have Tempo (iOS), the video editor that lets you play with the speed of your videos. It’s simple, but it produces some great results.

Only one game this week, the strategy RPG Dragon Blaze (iOS|Android). With beautifully detailed anime art, this one looks great, but also has deep tactical gameplay to back up its looks.

Finally we have Google Photos (iOS|Android), the photo gallery app that is able to automatically sort your photos and videos by analyzing the images to see what is in them.

That’s it. Remember to subscribe and share, and we will see you next time.

My Talking Tom gets Flappy mini game

All versions of My Talking Tom have been updated with a new mini-game: Flappy Tom! The interactive pet app is available on iOS, Android and Windows Phone 8, and the latest update brings more than just a Flappy Bird tribute.

The mini Flappy Tom game works just like Flappy Bird, you have to tak to make your tom flap, and avoid oncoming obstacles. The game now features breakfast, and you can finally change your Tom’s name too. There’s an unlockable Turbo mode, for greater difficulty, you can ‘pet and poke your friend’s Toms’, and levels have been increased to 80.

My Talking Tom is developed by Out Fit 7, who were recently victims of a viral social media hoax about another of their games, Talking Angela. Spreading mainly via Facebook, there were claims the the game was a front for a pedophile ring, and that it was able to photograph children and ask them personal questions. None of this is true, and Talking Angela even includes a child mode to make it extra safe for kids to play.
