Welcome to the 261st edition of Android Apps Weekly! Here are the big headlines from last week:It turns out that a lot of our readers listen to podcasts.

Google Podcasts was consistently popular as was Pocket Casts and, to a lesser extent, SoundCloud. However, answers were simply all over the place.

Update Notes for the Google app, Google Pay, Google Fit, ARCore, and Lens (August 25, 2018)

-
Every week, I examine somewhere in the neighborhood of a hundred app updates while looking for changes. The most interesting things turn into APK Teardowns or Download posts. Many of the remaining updates are unremarkable, amounting to a few bug fixes, routine updates to libraries, or even just pixel-level adjustments to layouts and images. However, there are usually a few updates that land somewhere in between. I don't want to spam readers with dozens of short posts, but I hate to ignore things that people might want to know about, so I'm going to wrap up the leftovers for a little weekend reading and call it Update Notes.Special thanks to נתנאל מ for the great hero image on this post!Google app v8.18 betaAs is becoming tradition, an update to the Google app began rolling to the beta channel just in time for it to play with users over the weekend.
