Chris Lacy’s Link Bubble gets an update to v1.5 along with a change of ownership

Link Bubble users will be happy to note that the app has received a substantial update to version 1.5, with features such as drop down elements, domain redirects as well as a Material Design overhaul making an appearance. Link Bubble’s creator, Chris Lacy, has also taken the opportunity to announce that Link Bubble and another of his apps, Tap Path, along with all related assets, have been sold to an as yet unnamed buyer. Join us after the break for the update’s changelog as well as more information on the change in ownership.

Let’s deal with the changes brought about in Link Bubble version 1.5.

Changelog:

• Support for drop down elements
• Added ability to colour the toolbar with a website’s theme/ favicon colour (Settings/ Colour Toolbar)
• Added ‘Domain redirects’ customization, allowing you to define domains which, when loaded, will always be referred to your fallback browser
• Updated appearance for material design
• Use Lollipop themed Snackbar prompt
• Translation support for 6 new languages

Regarding the change in ownership, if you have previously purchased Link Bubble Pro or Tap Path, those purchases are still connected to your Google Account, and you will receive updates via the Play Store as normal. Chris Lacy states that the transition will be ‘entirely seamless‘. As for the mysterious entity that purchased Link Bubble and Tap Path, Lacy says that the new owner is a US startup that is currently in ‘Stealth mode‘, but that users should trust him when he says it will become obvious why he is so excited by both the sale of the apps and their future.

For those asking why Chris Lacy sold the apps, he says that his indie company just doesn’t have the resources to make the most of Link Bubble’s potential. Which is fair enough.

You can download the floating browser app, Link Bubble, either by scanning the QR code or by clicking on the Play Store link below.
