Fetch for Android suggests new apps and games based on the ones you like
I do not like how apps are displayed on Google Play for the same reason I do not like Chrome's web store: there is no option to sort by date, which means that it is really difficult to find new apps and games in the store. While a top new apps or games listing is displayed, it consists only of a selection of games that have already been in store for some time.
That leaves apps that provide you with information about new and interesting games or applications for Android.
Update: Fetch is no longer available and I could not find an alternative, unfortunately.
Fetch is one of those, basing its recommendations on the things that you like. You can either select a game or app that you like and get similar recommendations based on it, or use the search to find new apps or games based on that.
To find similar apps, tap on the fetch menu at the top and pick the similar option from the menu. All your apps and games installed on the device are listed here, and all you need to do is pick on to get similar recommendations based on it.
A list of related apps or games are displayed to you after you make the selection. Each application is displayed with its name, screenshot, the number of downloads and the categories it has been sorted in to.
A category filter is displayed for games that you can make use of to add or remove traits which has a direct impact on the search results. This filter is currently only available for games, but the developers promise that it will be added to apps searches as well in the near future.
You can click on install to be taken directly to Google Play from where the selected program can be installed to the device.
You can follow searches so that new additions are automatically displayed to you on the apps' home screen. Here you find a selection of new apps and games that match your preferences.
The selection is not always made up of new games or apps though, you also find established applications listed here.
To search, select the search icon at the top or tap on games or apps on the screen instead. The search uses keywords including names of apps, genres, or certain characteristics such as cartoony. You can combine these keywords, for instance to find tower defense war games, or wallpaper apps, or virtual pets.
Verdict
What I like most about Fetch is that you can customize the feed of new apps or games that are presented to you by it regularly. While you may miss out on some that do not match your preferences, you can be certain that you won't miss any great new ones matching them that are released to store.
Uhh, this has already been possible – I am not sure how but remember my brother telling me about it. I’m not a whatsapp user so not sure of the specifics, but something about sending the image as a file and somehow bypassing the default compression settings that are applied to inbound photos.
He has also used this to share movies to whatsapp groups, and files 1Gb+.
Like I said, I never used whatsapp, but I know 100% this isn’t a “brand new feature”, my brother literally showed me him doing it, like… 5 months ago?
Martin, what happened to those: 12 Comments (https://www.ghacks.net/chatgpt-gets-schooled-by-princeton-university/#comments). Is there a specific justifiable reason why they were deleted?
Hmm, it looks like the gHacks website database is faulty, and not populating threads with their relevant cosponsoring posts.
The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk that it’s about to be deleted from my ‘daily reads’.
It’s really like “Press Release as re-written by some d*ck for clicks…poorly.” And the subjects are laughable. Can’t wait for “How to search for files on Windows”.
> The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk…
Sadly, I have to agree.
Only Martin and Ashwin are worth subscribing to.
Especially Emre Çitak and Shaun are the worst ones.
If ghacks.net intended “Clickbait”, it would mark the end of Ghacks Technology News.
Ghacks doesn’t need crappy clickbaits. Clearly separate articles from newer authors (perhaps AIs and external sales person or external advertising man) as just “Advertisements”!
We, the subscribers of Ghacks, urge Martin to make a decision.
because nevermore wants to “monetize” on every aspect of human life…
“Threads” is like the Walmart of Social Media.
How hard can it be to clone a twitter version of that as well? They’re slow.
Yes, why not mention how large the HD files can be?
Why, not mention what version of WhatsApp is needed?
These omissions make the article feel so bare. If not complete.
Sorry posted on the wrong page.
such a long article for such a simple matter. Worthless article ! waste of time
I already do this by attaching them via the ‘Document’ option.
I don’t know what’s going on here at Ghacks but it’s obvious that something is broken, comments are being mixed whatever the article, I am unable to find some of my later posts neither. :S
Quoting the article,
“As users gain popularity, the value of their tokens may increase, allowing investors to reap rewards.”
Besides, beyond the thrill and privacy risks or not, the point is to know how you gain popularity, be it on social sites as everywhere in life. Is it by being authentic, by remaining faithful to ourselves or is it to have this particular skill which is to understand what a majority likes, just like politicians, those who’d deny to the maximum extent compatible with their ideological partnership, in order to grab as many of the voters they can?
I see the very concept of this Friend.tech as unhealthy, propagating what is already an increasing flaw : the quest for fame. I won’t be the only one to count himself out, definitely.
@John G. is right : my comment was posted on [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/23/what-is-friend-tech/] and it appears there but as well here at [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/07/08/how-to-follow-everyone-on-threads/]
This has been lasting for several days. Fix it or at least provide some explanations if you don’t mind.

Firefox did this long before Safari.
Basically they’ll do anything except fair royalties.
