MagyarMicrosoft launches four new Android apps
While Google may not release any Windows Phone apps anytime soon, the Redmond giant's Garage project has a few interesting Android apps to show off already. The Microsoft Garage project website has four new Android apps featured on its front page, including a voice-controlled game and an alternative to the default Google Android lock screen (and those countless other choices).
These are the four new Android apps by Microsoft:
- Next Lock Screen - includes SMS and missed calls notification, appointments, even a space where favorite apps can be arranged and launched directly
- Bing Torque - Android Wear app that searches using Bing instead of Google and starts the voice search after a twist of the wrist instead of the notorious "OK Google" voice command
- Journeys & Notes - social location-tracking app that allows you to connect to other people who visited the same places
- Voice Commander - a combination of a real time strategy game and a top-down shooter that can be played by up to eight players using voice commands
All these apps will be freely available through Google Play Store soon.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
