App stores are crowded places these days, and because storage space on your phone is often at a premium, you’ll want to find and fill it with not only the best, but also the most helpful apps out there. Because they come and go quicker than the latest fashion trends, and digging through Google Play, the iTunes App Store, or any of the others is such a mission; a little nudge in the right direction is often very welcome. Here are the apps we think you need to check out this week.
When it comes to watching video on the Internet, it’s all about access. You want to be able to watch your favorite shows as soon as possible, as quickly as possible, and with as little interruption from the action as possible. We’re spoiled for choice, but it’s why services like Netflix and Hulu get into bidding wars for content. Providing access means snagging more viewers who will be pleased as punch to watch their shows how they want.
Now, we’re starting to see that same principle applied to YouTubers and other online content creators. Vessel is early access for the fanatics who follow their favorite YouTube personalities like tabloid readers follow celebrities. The fresh beta app for Android provides subscribers who pay the $2.99 monthly fee with an early look at the videos from channels like Epic Meal Time, Nerdist, Shane Dawson, and hundreds of others.
