Best adult apps for Android

In an ocean of adult apps done poorly, these rise to the top.

If you’re reading this, chances are you have an awesome pocket computer running Android at your disposal. Today’s Android phones and tablets can pretty much do anything, and that includes things of an adult nature. We want to help you find and see that content the best way possible.

We’re not here to condone or condemn anyone or anything — and by all means let’s keep things legal — but we feel that adults using their Androids to peruse adult content is just fine and dandy. We bet a good number of you guys and gals feel the same way.

If you don’t agree, that’s cool, too. We also are firm believers in the “live and let live” philosophy, and fully respect your opinion and support your right to have it. We also advise you to not click through the break if you think you might be offended. We love you regardless.

Don’t worry, we’re not trying to push any boundaries or limits (too terribly far), we just want to share a list of the best ways to find and browse adult content on Android. And do it in an adult way.

Namaste my friend. Namaste.

There are countless ways to see adult content on your Android out there, covering a broad range of subject matter. This is our list of the best of the best, and ones we feel confident to recommend. Be sure to tell us in the comments if you know another we should have a look at. Sorting through apps is a tough job, and we always love hearing input about the great stuff we need to check out.

Daydream VR

You know plenty of people are interested in Virtual Reality adult entertainment. A new way to interact with video or an app, VR lends itself to the adult world perfectly.

Daydream is already proving to be one of the best ways to experience adult VR and the platform is only going to keep growing. Immersing yourself into a VR world is a step above just watching it play. Daydream helps you get there.

PornHub

The current king of adult videos for Android. And probably every other platform.

PornHub is a safe way to see adult videos and pictures from any device, and they have a pretty good app for Android. Looking at porn online can be a messy affair, with malicious trackers and ads littering just about every site. PornHub is different. Yes, they still make money from ads — and we don’t hold that against them at all — but you won’t find the truly dangerous stuff that can cause damage to your phone there. And with their app, there are no ads at all.

The app also includes PornHub’s community features, uses a simple and discreet icon and has password locking for the video player. It’s basically everything you would want in an app designed to look at porn — it’s safe, it’s private, and it’s free. Fire up your browser and download PornHub from the link below.

MiKandi

If you’re looking for a bit of everything sexy, kinky or naughty, MiKandi is where you’ll want to start. Simply put, it’s the best place to get curated adult theme applications for Android. Whether you want something silly that involves jiggling boobs, or want to see some gritty adult movie action, MiKandi has you covered.

MiKandi is its own app store and uses its own virtual currency system. You’ll find plenty of things that are free and every taste is covered. You will need to register with MiKandi to download and install apps, but there’s really no reason not to. Millions of others have, and they don’t spam you or share your details. It’s worth it to know that you’re installing apps that have been weeded through and the malware and garbage were thrown out.

To install the free MiKandi store, fire up the browser on your phone and here:

Weed Maps

Cannabis is now legal for medical or recreational use in over half the United States, including Washington, D.C. An important part of cannabis legalization is to treat it properly and support legal vendors who aren’t selling a dime-bag to your kids. Google can help you here, so can word of mouth, but like most everything else there’s an app for that!

We do not endorse marijuana use where it is not legal. Know your laws and follow them accordingly.

That said, Weed Maps is wonderfully done, and will help you locate what you’re looking for in the places where it’s legal to sell it. You won’t find anything about Craigslist dealers or shady online operations here.

Weed Maps not only helps you find where to buy marijuana, it also tells you about discounts, exclusive offers, and daily deals. Add in a section for reviews and a social network, and you have the makings of a great app for patients and connoisseurs alike.

Tumblr

Tumblr is a great place to find blogs abut every subject you can imagine. Some are pretty amateurish, some much more professional, but the beauty of it all is having everything in one place — and in one app. When it comes to adult content, nothing changes.

You’ll find everything at Tumblr. From the mostly tame to the extreme and graphic. From pros and amateurs alike. Whether you’re looking for boys, girls or folks who don’t identify with either (and no matter what you would like to see them doing) Tumblr will fix you up, for free.

Mixology

If you’re going to have a drink or two, remember a few important things. First of all, you need to be a responsible adult. We don’t condone or endorse underage drinking, nor do we want anyone to place themselves or anyone in danger after having a few drinks. The next important thing is to learn to make a good drink.

That’s where Mixology comes in. Thousands of recipes for just about any flavor of adult beverage are included, and sorting through them is dead simple. Browse by category, or tell the app what you have on hand and you’ll find just the right recipe for a perfect cocktail. Or get adventurous and click that random tab — you might find something new. You can also find your local liquor store and learn a bit about just how to use common bartending tools to make that perfect drink.

The app is free, and if you’re serious about mixing up those drinks a paid version is available.

Literotica

If you’re a fan of erotic fiction, Literotica is for you. While you won’t find Hemingway here, you will find erotic stories to fit any and every taste. Even some tastes you might not have even known existed.

While the interface is dated and pretty bland, the app is quick and offers the right settings for reading. You have settings for fonts and screen brightness, as well as a dark mode for some after-hours reading. The app even has an immersive mode for phones with on-screen buttons. Literotica is free and filled to the brim with content.

BaconReader

While Reddit is plenty popular with folks of all ages, there are parts that are absolutely NSFW and filled with content of an adult nature. We love an open and free Internet, so we’re glad they are there. And we want you to be able to browse them the best way possible. Of course, the best way to see the not-so-kid-friendly content is also the best way to see all of what Reddit has to offer.

That’s BaconReader. Subreddit grouping, filtering by domain and keywords, image uploading should you want to contribute and a great slideshow mode (if you just want to look) make BaconReader the best and most popular way to read Reddit — all of Reddit.

BaconReader is free and also looks great on your tablet!

Microsoft resurrects its most iconic mouse

The Surface Precision Mouse isn’t the only new input device in Microsoft’s arsenal. The company’s Surface site has quietly teased the Classic IntelliMouse, a wired peripheral directly inspired by the legendary IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 you might have used in the early 2000s — yes, this is the second time Microsoft has brought back the iconic design. The company isn’t saying too much about what this revival will entail, but it’ll have more precise tracking (up to 3,200DPI) while preserving the “firm” scroll wheel you knew from the days when Windows XP was still hot stuff.

The listing only mentions that the Classic is “coming soon,” with no price to be seen. We’ve asked Microsoft for more details and will let you know if it can shed more light on the situation. However, it’s safe to say that the relative lack of bells and whistles on this IntelliMouse (that we know of, at least) should keep the price in check.

German soccer team puts players on your iPhone for AR selfies

Sports teams and broadcasters have been going all-in on high-tech initiatives lately. The NFL was an early adopter, with AR features appearing on Fox Sports broadcasts. The NBA just released an augmented reality mobile hoops game, Samsung has put MLB and the UFC on its Gear VR and ESPN is streaming X Games content to VR headsets as well. German soccer team, FC Bayern Munich, is taking its first AR steps, too, with a new feature in its iOS app that brings team captain Manuel Neuer or forward Arjen Robben into your iPhone for celebrity selfies.

You can choose which of the three “strips” Robben wears in the app, and you can personalize the back of the jersey for your screenshot photos, too. You can also buy player jerseys from within the app, if that’s your thing. “This augmented reality feature offers fans a playful, unique and immersive opportunity to get closer to the team they love whether they are based in Munich, New York or Mexico,” said FC Bayern Munich’s Stefan Mennerich in a statement. “It is important to us that we continue to offer these innovative experiences, not only to ensure that we are connecting with our family of fans on all levels but also to continue advancing digital technology used in the sport sector.”

The iOS app is free for download; simply tap over to the “AR Arena” to check out the player selfie feature. You’ll need iOS 11 and an iPhone with an A9 or A10 processor, according to the developer.

Internal Twitter email explains its new plans to fight abuse

Twitter promised stricter rules for abuse and hate in the wake of a boycott, but what will those rules entail, exactly? It’s a bit clearer after today. Wired has obtained email providing early details on new policies, and they’re mostly good news — although they probably won’t satisfy some people. Most notably, it’s planning to crack down against all groups that “have historically used violence as a means to advance their cause” rather than focusing primarily on terrorism. It’ll also take action against tweets that glorify violence, not just direct threats. There’s no guarantee that this will lead to bans and suspensions against hate groups (Twitter is still hashing out the details), but that’s what the early language implies.

The social network also plans to treat hate imagery and symbols as “sensitive media,” much as it does with nudity and graphic violence. Again, Twitter isn’t certain exactly what will qualify, but it’s safe to presume that at least some Nazi images will be hidden by default.

The new policies will also give Twitter more power to curb sexual harassment — you know, the problem that prompted the boycott in the first place. It’ll soon let ‘bystanders’ report unwanted sexual advances, not just participants. It’s also promising swifter action against revenge porn and other non-consensual nudity (namely, suspending confirmed posters right away), and it’s widening the definition of this nudity to include “creep shots,” hidden cameras and other photos where the victim might not even know something happened.

Twitter hadn’t been planning to talk about the policies so soon, but it did confirm that the email is legitimate and reflects its intentions. The question is whether or not these will be enough. Many object to hate groups getting any kind of room to breathe on Twitter. Their very ideology isn’t exactly compassionate and friendly. And as easy as it is to talk about fighting sexual harassment, there are numerous women who can point to instances where they reported harassing tweets that were allowed to stay. Even if the impact is muted, though, it could still help clean up Twitter and give people a better reason to stay.

EA shuts down the studio behind ‘Dead Space’

So much for hopes of a Dead Space sequel in the near future. EA is shutting down Visceral Games, the studio behind the Dead Space series, Battlefield Hardline and The Godfather. According to EA, the closure is the result of a decision to “pivot” Visceral’s Star Wars title. It was intended as a linear, story-driven adventure (not surprising given the involvement of Uncharted director Amy Hennig), but player feedback led EA to decide that a it should be a “broader” game with “more variety and player agency.” This included changing “central elements,” EA added. To put it another way: the publisher wanted a game that was more, well, EA-like.

Many of the people involved will still have work. EA said it would move “as many of the team as possible” to other games and groups. As for Hennig in particular? She’s in talks about her “next move,” EA told Kotaku in a statement. People across EA Worldwide Studios will take the reins of the Star Wars game, with a Vancouver team (already involved in the project) heading things up from here on out. EA had no comment on what would happen to the Dead Space franchise with Visceral gone.

The accommodations for staff are good news, but the move is still a sad end for a studio that was lauded for its creativity: Dead Space captured an Alien-like sense of dread while offering unique weapons and ditching conventional interface conventions. Also, this will seem like an all-too-familiar pattern for EA watchers, as the company has a bad habit of shuttering well-known studios and (in some cases) letting their best-known franchises sit in limbo.

Apple Seeds Third macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 Beta to Developers

Apple today seeded the third beta of an upcoming macOS High Sierra update to developers, a little over a week after releasing the second macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 beta and nearly a month after releasing the new High Sierra operating system to the public.

The third macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 beta can be downloaded from the Apple Developer Center or through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store with the proper profile installed.

macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 appears to focus on bug fixes, performance improvements, security enhancements, and other under-the-hood changes, but it also introduces a range of new Unicode 10 emoji like crazy face, pie, pretzel, t-rex, vampire, exploding head, face vomiting, shushing face, love you gesture, brain, scarf, zebra, giraffe, fortune cookie, pie, hedgehog, and more.

The new emoji are also available in iOS 11.1 and watchOS 4.1.

macOS High Sierra is a major update that introduces APFS, a new more modern file system, HEIF and HEVC photo and video encoding improvements for smaller file sizes without compromising quality, Metal 2, and several new features for Safari, like autoplay blocking for videos and Intelligent Tracking Prevention to better protect user privacy.

WhatsApp Gains Support for Live Location Sharing

Popular messaging app WhatsApp was today updated with a new feature that’s designed to allow WhatsApp users to share their location in real-time with family and friends.

Live Location through WhatsApp features end-to-end encryption and includes tools to allow users to specify who they share their location with and for how long.

To use Live Location, WhatsApp users need to open a chat with a person or group, select the “Location” feature in the attach button, and then choose the new option to “Share Live Location.” When selecting the share option, users can select an amount of time the location sharing feature will last before expiring.

The person on the other end will be able to see the user’s real-time location on a map, and if, in a group chat, more than one person shares their location, multiple locations will be displayed on the same map.

Live Location is available on both iOS and Android devices, and it will be rolling out to the WhatsApp apps “in the coming weeks.”

WhatsApp can be downloaded from the App Store for free. [Direct Link]

Apple Executives Receive Restricted Stock Units Worth Millions

Several Apple executives were today awarded 128,584 restricted stock units or RSUs worth upwards of $20 million at Apple’s current price. The RSUs are set to vest after a set period of time and serve as bonus compensation to encourage employees to stay with the company.

Johny Srouji, Phil Schiller, Dan Riccio, Luca Maestri, Craig Federighi, Eddy Cue, and Angela Ahrendts all received 128,584 restricted stock units this month. 64,885 RSUs were awarded on 10/1, while an additional 63,699 were awarded on 10/15.

For the first batch, the vesting of the restricted stock units depends on Apple’s total shareholder return starting on the first day of fiscal 2018 and ending on the last day of fiscal 2020. Up to 200 percent of the shares can vest should Apple’s performance in the S&P 500 be in the 85th percentile or higher relative to other companies.

If Apple’s performance falls below that, a smaller percentage of shares will vest, but should the company hit its target, each executive could receive 129,770 shares worth over $20 million at today’s prices. Apple did not hit that target with its last performance based stock award.

The second batch of RSUs will vest over time and each executive will see the full award of 63,699 shares should they stay with the company. One-third of the shares will vest on April 1, 2020, another third on April 1, 2021, and the final third on April 1, 2022. Chris Kondo, Apple Senior Director of Corporate Accounting, also received a smaller award of 12,740 shares that will vest starting in 2018.

At a maximum, each executive could earn up to 193,469 shares by 2022, worth more than $30 million today.

Amazon Studios head resigns after sexual harassment allegations

A few days ago, Amazon suspended the VP leading its film and TV projects after Isa Dick Hackett told The Hollywood Reporter that Roy Price sexually harassed her. Now, CNN and others report that the exec has “resigned.” Hackett is the producer on two Amazon adaptations of her father’s (Philip K. Dick) work, and THR reported that Price “repeatedly and insistently propositioned her.” However, this was not the first time that statement came to light, as The Information reported an Amazon investigation into the matter back in August.

Greenpeace blasts Amazon over poor environmental practices

Greenpeace has made a tradition out of raking companies over the coals when their environmental practices fall short of its standards, and that’s truer than ever in the activist group’s latest electronics report card. The organization didn’t list any major company whose environmental stances (including renewable energy, sustainable products and toxin-free materials) were good enough to merit an “A” grade, and four companies earned an unflattering “F” — including internet giant Amazon. According to Greenpeace, Jeff Bezos’ brainchild falls well short on most marks.

Most notably, Greenpeace accuses Amazon of being opaque when it comes to discussing its environmental practices. The company publishes virtually no data on its energy use, its materials or whether or not it limits the use of hazardous chemicals. It tends to offer only the info required by law. Outside of its adoption of solar powered data centers and support for eco-friendly government policies, it hasn’t made public commitments to lessen the environmental impact of its products. This isn’t to say that Amazon hasn’t taken steps to help the planet — it’s just impossible to know without more transparency. We’ve asked Amazon for comment.

As it stands, Amazon isn’t alone. Some Chinese phone makers are also less-than-kind to the Earth, including stablemates Oppo and Vivo as well as Xiaomi. Not surprisingly, it’s again chalked up to a lack of transparency and public commitments. If they’re doing anything to improve the environment, they’re not talking about it.

Only two companies fare well in the guide. Apple gets a “B-” through its strong transparency and very open commitments to eco-friendly technology, and it’s mainly hurt by its reliance on hard-to-fix devices as well as its opposition to Right to Repair laws. The top performer is Fairphone, whose emphasis on easily-repaired, sustainable tech got it a “B” marred only by some unclear commitments. Whatever you think of Greenpeace or its verdicts, the guide at least serves as a useful goalpost. If companies want to prove that they’re taking care of Mother Nature, they have to demonstrate in everything they do.
