About Android Apps of the Day
Android has over 450,000 apps. With so many apps out there, app discovery (aka finding new and useful apps) is extremely difficult. With our Android Apps of the Day initiative, dotTech aims to change that. Everyday we post three apps, allowing our readers to discover new apps, daily. Enjoy!

Apps for April 10, 2012
Hurdle Hell
Hurdle Hell is a platform scroller with a twist. In Hurdle Hell you control runners that must jump over hurdles – and other obstacles – as they run, with the goal being to run as far as you can. As you run further the stage automatically changes to a different setting. The twist is you must control two runners at the same time, not one; if any of the two runners falls (i.e. you don’t properly jump over the hurdle/object) then it is game over.
Be warned Hurdle Hell’s graphics aren’t very impressive; they are Gameboy-level graphics so if you only like good graphics games, then this isn’t for you.

Version discovered: v1.0.2
Requires: Android 2.1 and up

HoneyGram
Don’t like Instagram’s official Android app? HoneyGram is an unofficial browser for Instagram. With HoneyGram users can view public images on Instagram by popularity, location, username, and tags. If you opt to log into your Instagram account (you are not required to login if you don’t want to), you can view your own images, view your friends/contacts images, leave comments, like images, follow other people, download images, share images across social networks, etc. While HoneyGram doesn’t have the photo filters Instagram’s official app has, HoneyGram does allow users to create collages with a built-in collage maker feature.
The catch with HoneyGram is it only supports Android 3.0 and higher and GoogleTV.
