BLURB
This issue is very exciting for me. On top of researching apps this week, I've drunk more Turkish coffee than any human should. With more caffeine in my bloodstream than blood itself, I completed something I've wanted to do forever.
Let's get right to it!

I BUILT A FLIPPIN' WEBSITE!!!
Apps With Wade has a home and the door is wide open. This is ground zero for my own content surrounding the APPiverse. I couldn't be more stoked.
Make you a deal. I'll do 10 pushups for anyone who goes over to AppsWithWade.com and replies to this email with any feedback you have. I'm an idiot with a website now... so please for goodness sake, impart your wisdom on me.

NEWS
Apple bought Dark Sky app!
It's a sad time when great apps go away. This is 1 of those moments. Android fans that love the beautiful Dark Sky weather app are going to lose it soon. This article offers alternative weather apps to add some sunshine before the oncoming storm.

Facebook made a Messenger app for Mac/PC.
If you talk A LOT in Facebook messages from your computer... you might LOVE this. I show and tell the new app from Facebook on Mac/PC.

Canva Design app no longer charges on top of premium subscription
Canva is where I make most of my graphics, logos, thumbnails, etc. It used to be that the $10/month premium plan was the "more but not everything" plan. Now it's everything! All their graphics and templates are available in the premium subscription. For my Canva users... this is wonderful news!

Instagram added a "Co-Watching" Feature
Sitting around perusing Instagram... invite your friends to binge with you. This feature seems like it's perfect for a group quarantine coach potato session.

APP PICKS
A new Netflix Competitor has emerged and I like it!
I wrote about the newest streaming app out there... Quibi. I think this app is very cool and there's a video inside the article where Val and I talk about our impressions of this cool Netflix/Youtube innovation. Patting myself on the back on making all the gifs inside it too.

1 of the coolest detective type games I've ever played.
Okay... My friend Nicole put me on this 1 and it's a doozy. It's for Android & I'm not going to give away too much. It lives at the intersection of an escape room and a secret agent detective movie. if you play it, email/DM your thoughts of it.

IN CLOSING...
And that's the whole kit and kaboodle
I cannot thank you enough for such positivity in your replies to this email. Apparently you really enjoy this topic or me... or newsletters 🤣. Your replies and DM's Instagram: @appswithwade amp me the heck up to make this best newsletter ever. Also... the IG link above should open the Instagram app right to my account. MAGIC!
See you next week! 💌
