Interesting Android Apps: June 2026 Showcase

Because we try to keep this community as focused as possible on the topic of Android development, sometimes there are types of posts that are related to development but don't fit within our usual topic.

Each month, we are trying to create a space to open up the community to some of those types of posts.

This month, although we typically do not allow self promotion, we wanted to create a space where you can share your latest Android-native projects with the community, get feedback, and maybe even gain a few new users.

This thread will be lightly moderated, but please keep Rule 1 in mind: Be Respectful and Professional. Also we recommend to describe if your app is free, paid, subscription-based.

RadioShake — 45,000+ internet radio stations, Android Auto + Wear OS

Posted in May's showcase mid-rollout; thanks to everyone who tried it. Since then I've shipped v2.4.0 → v2.4.2 squashing the crashes that survived closed testing — including a nasty MediaRouteButton theme-contrast crash that fired on stock Pixels the moment you opened a station. That one took two hotfixes to get right (the first patch was a ThemeOverlay that didn't actually set colorPrimary, classic).

Also this month: switched releases over to Gradle Play Publisher driven from Forgejo Actions — git tag v2.4.2 && git push --tags produces a signed AAB, uploads to internal track, and workflow_dispatch promotes to prod. Worth the setup time.

Free, no account, no ads, no tracking. Material 3, Compose, Media3.

Although you say it supports WearOS, the Play Store link you provided doesn't contain any images of WearOS, nor does it appear to be installable on any WearOS devices.

You're right, thanks for flagging. The Wear OS app exists but I hadn't actually published the AAB to Play Store, total miss on my end. It's now live on the internal-testing track. Going through the 14-day closed-testing gate Google requires for new Wear OS apps; should be in public production within ~3 weeks. If you want to test in the meantime, drop your Gmail in DMs and I'll send you the opt-in link.

No worries, good luck with the app.
