Epic Rap Battles 2.0
Simplistic but fluent UI
Content truly is king for this app, and developers wanted to give users an easier and more comfortable access to videos, compared to YouTube or browsers.
The interface comes in the well-known Android style with the menu hidden on the left side. The app also comes with a search bar if you wish to quickly search for videos on a specific character or pop figure.
For rap fans interested in history
The series has now reached its third season and all episodes are available for free inside the app. Tap on one and it will open the HD video, but there's no option of adjusting video quality in order to save power. Still you can watch videos in landscape mode or share them with friends.
Information on characters and authors are available below the video, together with channels where you can find the authors and some branded products. At the end of each video, users are requested to decide who wins the battle and which characters should rap against each other next. But in order to do so, you must go to YouTube.
Test your rapping skills
The app features a section with behind the scenes footage, so you can see how the set is made, how many people work on the production and how costumes are made. Because the series has become so popular, it sometimes features famous comedians or actors, so you can get exclusive footage with them.
The news section is filled with all the latest information. You can also check epic dance battles, to see actors compete on rap lyrics or test your skills in the karaoke section. Still, the app could use some more features like the ability to browse through episodes while one is playing or an icon for skipping to the next video.
