The Vine app, which has EXPLODED in a very large way on iOS over the last few months, is now on Android. It’s a simple concept. You sign in with a Vine account that has the option of also linking a Twitter user name, then a mostly blank interface lets you record to video when you touch the screen. If you like it, you share it, and hope it may gain enough views to make it to the app’s front page feed.

So you can record six seconds of your dinner should you have assembled a particularly impressive sausage sandwich, or spend hours building up epic stop-motion scenes. It’s quite enjoyable. And now on Android.

Shame the iOS users have already done all the low-hanging fruit video ideas. Vine for Android is on the Play store here. It requires Android 4.0 or higher to run.

Scrabble. The actual Scrabble. It may have been ruined a bit by EA’s relentless drive to push in-app payments and adverts on everyone, but still. Scrabble! For free. The game lets users have up to 50 games on the go simultaneously, with an integrated chat window and Facebook and EA Origin support for cross-platform play.

EA says a wireless connection is “needed” to make it work, presumably for ad-serving purposes. It also asks if you’d like to install a Scrabble-themed live wallpaper, supports four-player “Play’N'Pass” for same room parties, and is rather slick indeed.

And in terms of ads, it’s not that bad. There are adverts and links to try other EA games, but we’ve not been asked to pay for any additional content yet. Seems like a good one. Android Scrabble is on Google Play here.

The official Twitter Android app has been updated today, with the time-eating social site rethinking the way it lets people share their mobile images. The updated app now includes an altered composition window, which now comes with a pull-down menu that shows your recently taken photos beneath the text window, which is very useful indeed.

Twitter says those using Android 4.0 or higher ought to see rich notifications now too, which include avatars and more. Here’s us fiddling with it just now:

Of the offchance you don’t have it already, or are a rebel that uses a third-party app, Twitter for Android can be found here. Send us a tweet if you’ve got it so we can see how the notifications work.

One of the many bike-focused mags available within the UK now has an official app, with Dennis Publishing launching Cyclist on Google Play. The decision to whack up a separate app instead of releasing it through Google’s own magazine racks means there’s one big bonus for readers — the ability to sign in and access your subscription account on your phone or tablet.

Also, to ENTICE YOU into giving it a go, there’s one free issue on offer to people who try it for the first time this month. It’ll make your current bike look a little inadequate, though.

Android 4.0 or higher is required to run the Cyclist app. You can get the app here.
