Crashlytics is a slick and remarkably easy automatic crash reporting service that integrates tightly with your existing IDE.

I took today off to play Grand Theft Auto 5 and relax. After a few hours of play, and a few more hours of relaxing, I realized that I hadn’t written an article about Android in a while. I also haven’t updated The Grind in a while, which is a shame because it’s one of my favorite casual games and also one of my more popular ones.
