If you’ve ever felt like the Android mascot should have a version more like you, then you probably have been enjoying the app Androidify, where you can make caricatures of the green robot to look more like you or any other character. The newest update from Google makes the app even more fun by letting you add even more animation, turning the images into GIFs, and even giving a chance for your creations to be featured in a TV commercial or YouTube ad.
The latest update now gives you more options to choose from, including new costumes, accessories and images. There are also now 25 new animations that you can make your characters do, including laughing, dancing, falling asleep, rocking out, cheering, etc. Not only that, you can save them as animated GIFs and send as emoticons in your text or chats, to make conversations more interesting. We’re pretty sure, someday, we’ll all be talking without using words anymore, just all the cool emoticons, stickers and animated GIFs that can sometimes say more than just letters. But we digress. Yes, the Androidify animated characters in messages are cool.
If you want other people to see your brilliant characters, animted or otherwise, you can upload them to the Gallery in Androidify.com. Google will be choosing the best ones to feature in their TV commercials or YouTube videos. (Hmmm, maybe you should ask for “royalties” if the ads become viral or something) The update also brings improved UI as well as translations in Japanese, Korean, French and German.
The app is already being updated (if you haven’t seen it yet) as we speak. If you haven’t yet discovered the magical world of Androidify, you can get the app for free from the Google Play Store.
