The app was also named a Hidden Gem by Google this year, letting users “quickly disconnect from a long stressful day and get in the right mood for sleep,” according to its description.

Ah, Reddit. The source of all things… innovative. If you’re tired of the same old boot animation on your device, you’re in luck. Someone created a website that can turn any .gif file into your device’s boot animation.

If you dare to try it out, just head to this website.

Over the weekend, users on Reddit and Google’s support forums noted that Assistant reminders on Android had stopped working. While the feature is still working on other devices such as Home Hubs, those who rely on their smartphone for everything are missing essential reminders.

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR The channel for YouTube TV on Roku devices is no longer available, unless you’ve already installed it. However, Google snuck a link to YouTube TV within the regular YouTube channel, which is still available on Rokus. This is a nice workaround for YTTV subscribers who aren’t happy about being caught in the middle of Google and Roku’s squabbling. Last week, we heard word of an intense squabble between Google and Roku.

Luke Pollack / Android Authority How’s the 5G where you live? Is it fast? Is it slow? Is it even available? For many consumers, 5G simply hasn’t lived up to the sky-high expectations set by technology purveyors the world over.
