YouTube on Android lets you trim your videos before you upload

If you wanted to upload a video from your Android device to YouTube before, you would need to upload the entire clip. Now, YouTube is making it easier for you to take out that awkward beginning or ending pre-upload. You can now trim videos on the Android version of the app. It features two control points and you can trim almost up to 1/30th of a second. Just hold down on either of the control points and it’ll zoom in for you and let you trim almost frame by frame. It isn’t available yet on the iOS version of the app but we should be seeing that in the future.

Link Google Drive files with Google Calendar for Android

Google is adding even more functionality to its Calendar app on Android with the latest update. You can now associate Google Drive files to events. So, if you want people to see what the agenda is for your next meeting, you don’t have to send it in a separate email.

Other than that, Google Calendar also gets a seven-day week view, pinch-to-zoom navigation, and the ability to import .ICS calendar files you get through email. They’re rolling it out now and should be hitting your device soon. If you’re on iOS, you just have to wait a bit more, Google is working on it.

Cute or Not is the Tinder-like app for pets

If you’re the type who likes judging other people’s pets or just want to show off your own adorable little pooch, BuzzFeed has the app for you. Called “Cute or Not,” the iOS app lets you share photos of your dogs, cats, or “other” cute creatures. Like what you do with Tinder (minus the real life “social interactions”), you swipe to the right if you find the pet cute or to the left if not. It’s that simple. You can also check out the “trending” pet photos on the app or sort through your own uploads. Sharing is available over at Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter to get more people to use the app.
