Android 5.0 Lollipop

Android 5.0 Lollipop


Since the Google I/O, developers have been adapting their existing apps to match the new Material Design style, and the speed at which they have been able to do this was quite impressive (sometimes it's been even faster than many Google apps). Now with Android 5.0 Lollipop officially announced, more Android developers have entered the Material age, Here's the list of apps that already feature Material Design.


ACEMusic

Even though ACEMusic is still in beta phase, the app is already a looker. It’s great for streaming your favorite playlists from the Google Play Music Cloud so you won’t miss out on your favorite beats when on the go.





DreamDroid

For those who use an enigma2 based Dreambox, dreamDroid is the perfect companion app to have on your Android device. Check out Material Design in action in the video below.





Pushbullet

Pushbullet has just been updated with Material Design in the last update and it’s now got the infamous floating action button as well as the stalked card-like layers, like when accessing the slide out menu.


Numix Calculator

Even calculator apps have been given a dose of MD. The new update to Numix Calculator might even make trigonometry fun (or not?).


Google Play Music

Streaming music and playing MP3s using Google Play Music is indeed a lot more enjoyable now that Google has updated their app, along with many other ones like Drive, Gmail, Google+ etc. The slidable card-like levels have been masterfully integrated, and there are some neat stylistic details as well, like the sandwich button found on the top left corner which artistically transforms into an arrow.






Moonshine Icon Pack

If you have a custom launcher on your phone then you can switch out your tired looking icons and get the Android Lollipop look with the Moonshine Icon Pack which is also equipped with a full Android Lollipop theme. Considering how long icon packs usually take to make, this one must have been put together with no sleep at all. The result is very impressive though and provides a great basis for your Android Lollipop makeover.

Wally

One of the first apps to apply Material Design was Wally: the app offers a database of wallpapers, which are sorted by category and colors. This app just goes to show that Material Design can be achieved without the Android 5.0 Lollipop update.







CPU Control

CPU Control is an app for those who want to check and experiment with the performance of their smartphones, and who yearn for better battery life. The app provides a handful of useful tools with this aim, but keep in mind that it requires root access.



Atlas Web Browser

Atlas Web Browser really stands out next to Chrome and other browsers not just because of the improvements on the visual level, but also because you can turn off targeted components like javascript elements. This will affect those annoying and constantly running scripts that reload ad banners. Once the javascript elements are turned off, you’ll notice that it really takes a load off of battery life and even your mobile data since the processor isn’t woken up as often. In terms of Material Design, you can see that there is now a lot more color coding.



Stuffle

The mobile flea market app, Stuffle, looks for local bargains, or on the other hand, if you’ve done some sorting through your junk, you can also sell your own stuff. The developers have integrated a pink-ish Material Design with flat icons, which I have to say looks great. Though it looks a lot simpler than Facebook and eBay, it stands out because you can pay with PayPal, one of its many great features. A very enjoyable app!






Talon

Talon is a paid Twitter alternative that was able to shake off its old outdated design for the new Android standards. Light colors, a ubiquitous send button, card style and the conscious use of several levels were some of the great features to be implemented. Material Design in Talon 2.5 is being tested exclusively on Android 5.0 Lollipop right now as well, so we’re pretty pumped to get our hands on a backport so that users whose phones run older Android versions can also make use of the Twitter app.


Root Check (by jRummy)

Root Check verifies that your device has indeed been rooted. This is a good tool to know if your root attempt has worked, but also if you are buying a used phone from someone you don't know. Having super-user rights on a device offers lots of freedom, but lots of risk if you don't know what you're doing. The app shows lots of root information in a simple Material Design theme.
