You can now order a Crunchy Taco from the comfort of your phone with the Taco Bell app

taco bell app lets you order at home
Don’t you just hate going to Taco Bell and actually saying what you want to get? After a closed beta test conducted at five locations in Orange County, California, the Taco Bell app is now available for download on both iOS and Android devices.

The new Taco Bell app helps you find restaurants and lets you customize your menu items, even down to the drink selection where applicable, before adding everything to your order. The app also supports remote payments, so all you have to do is show up and grab your food.

Unfortunately, your order is made when you arrive at the restaurant, not when you actually pay for it within the app. In the app description, Taco Bell justifies this decision by saying that it makes “your food when you arrive because just-prepared food is the best.” Still, this allows for you to place an order earlier in the day and pick it up hours later. Besides, Taco Bell is a fast-food restaurant, after all, so it’s doubtful their food-prepping process takes that long to begin with.

You can do other things within the app, such as buying and reloading Taco Bell gift cards for your hungry, drunk friends who want to eat something at 2 in the morning. If you’re health conscious and full of guilt, you can even read the nutritional information for items on the menu.

You can now download the free Taco Bell app for iOS and Android.

Sunbird looks like the iMessage for Android app you’ve been waiting for
Sunbird Android app screenshots.

The idea of iMessage for Android sounds like a pipe dream, and for the most part, it is. Apps like AirMessage and Bleeper do make it possible to get iMessage on your Android phone today, but they often require complicated networking and Wi-Fi port forwarding, plus a Mac or iPhone to run in the background 24/7.

These apps technically work, but they're not things the average user can comfortably and confidently rely on. A new app — called Sunbird — now promises to change that.
