Bank of America

The second largest banking company in America now has an Android app that lets you sign in with the fingerprint sensor on your phone. To be precise, the app did previously suppor fingerprint sensor sign in, but it only worked with Samsung phones. The latest update adds support for Marshmallow API so any phone with Marshmallow and a fingerprint sensor can now take advantage of the feature.

iOS • Android

Crossy Road

Crossy Road added support for offline multiplayer. Now, up to four people can simultaneously play over a local Wi-Fi network. Gameplay is similar to that on Apple TV version, where you can push and block other players as much as you want, and the last one remaining on screen is the winner.

Exploding Kittens

Originally a card game and the most backed Kickstarter campaign of all time, Exploding Kittens made its iOS debut earlier this year. The game is now available on Android. Created by the guy behind The Oatmeal, Exploding Kittens is a card game where you have to avoid the exploding kitten card. You play against other players in a local or online multiplayer, and each draws a card, and the one who draws the exploding kitten card has a few seconds to diffuse it, or else it's game over for them. All other cards are to move, mitigate, or avoid the exploding kitten card. It's simple enough to learn but can be quite fun due to its animation style and humor, especially with friends.
