For Android users who have been waiting for Clubhouse, it's finally arriving. Well, the company began rollout in the US first, and it's invite-only for now, too. The release comes at a time when app downloads are reportedly dipping on iOS. According to the company, Clubhouse plans to gradually roll out the app to other English-speaking markets and then to the rest of the world. For those outside the US, you can pre-register on Clubhouse's Google Play Store page to be alerted when it's available in your area.

"Our plan over the next few weeks is to collect feedback from the community, fix any issues we see and work to add a few final features like payments and club creation before rolling it out more broadly," the company said. Clubhouse also intends to welcome in the millions of iOS users stuck on the iOS waitlist as it works on improving the app's infrastructure.

SmartThings app comes to Windows 10

Samsung's SmartThings app isn't just limited to the new Galaxy Book laptops. The platform is accessible for Windows 10 machines through the Microsoft Store. The only caveat is it's limited to up to 10 Windows 10 machines sharing the same Microsoft account. That's a policy Microsoft employs for virtually every other app, so it's not surprising. If you're heavily in Samsung's ecosystem, this app will help you keep track of all of your smart devices in a centralized UI. You can remotely control your gadgets and appliances and find those that support SmartThings Find.
