You can watch the videos from past months by clicking here! You can check out our selections for the best new Android apps from 2018 in the video above!
AirDroid Remote Support
Price: Free app
AirDroid Remote Support is a new plug-in for the popular AirDroid service. This one mimics other remote support apps such as TeamViewer and similar apps. It uses AirMirror as well. Basically, you login with AirDroid Remote Support and the other person installs AirMirror. You can then connect directly to their device to hep troubleshoot a tech issue. The app features voice calls, screen sharing, chat, and there are some privacy protections in place for those who are a bit queasy about the idea. AirDroid has a monthly price, but AirDroid Remote Support is a free addition to that service.
LUCIDPIX 3D
Price: Free
LUCIDPIX 3D is a camera app with a focus on 3D content. You take pictures and the app gives it a parallax effect. It can also take existing 2D photos and give them the same 3D effect. The app is a bit of a one trick pony, but at least that trick is pretty cool. The photos are also shareable to social media. It's in Early Access Beta on Google Play so potential users should expect bugs and for features to pop in as the app continues to develop. It's free to use at the time of this writing.
Magic: The Gathering Companion
Price: Free
Magic: The Gathering Companion is a companion app for people who play the physical Magic: The Gathering card game. It's mostly for setting up and keeping track of tournaments. The app can keep track of many variants, including Draft, Constructed, and Sealed formats with more to come later. There is also support for up to 16 players with linked Wizard accounts if you want to go that far. It's probably not something for the everyday Magic: The Gathering player and it doesn't have card info or a life counter or anything useful for individual players. However, those who organize smaller tournaments fairly frequently may want to give it a try.
Power Button Remapper for Note10
Price: Free / $2.99
Power Button Remapper for Note10 is, well, a power button remapper app specifically for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10. It does what the app name implies. You can remap the power button on the Note 10 and Note 10 Plus to do a bunch of things. Some functions include a flashlight, Google Assistant, mute, and more. It also supports the volume buttons for some functions. The Galaxy Note 10 is the big release from the last month or so and it's normal to see some new apps for stuff like this. The full version goes for a single $2.99 in-app purchase.
SHAREit Lite
Price: Free
SHAREit Lite is a scaled back version of the very popular file sharing app on Android. It lets you swap files with people who are right next to you without an Internet connection. The app supports almost any file type from photos and videos to files and ZIPs. You can also send files between people at a distance like any normal file sharing app. Some other benefits of the Lite version is a very small APK size and it works well on lower end devices in areas with restricted Internet. Of course, the app isn't available all over the world, at least not yet. Hit up the Play Store to see if it's available for your device if you're interested.
Space Weather Reporter
Price: Free
Space Weather Reporter is a super niche app that does a really neat thing. It tells you the weather in space. The app uses data collected from DONKI and sends you notifications when events happen. You can track things like solar flares, geomagnetic storms, and all kinds of other stuff. The app does basically just this one thing and that's why it's a niche app. Those who have no interest in space weather should definitely skip this one. However, it's a free app with some excellent information should you ever want to learn about it.
SpotWidget
Price: F$1.99
SpotWidget is an app born from change. Spotify recently removed its home screen widget, angering many people. SpotWidget is an attempt to restore it. The app gives you a widget that looks very much like the old Spotify widget. It has pause and play along with skip controls. The widget also shows artist information. It's an excellent idea in theory, but the app still needs some work. Many people are complaining about some bugs, including a bug where the widget doesn't update with the correct information. Thus, we recommend holding off on this until the developer gets some of these bugs fixed. However, once they do, this app should be a good replacement for the old Spotify widget.
überliste
Price: Free
überliste is a new grocery app list app. It functions as you would expect such an app to function. You add a bunch of groceries to the list and check them off when you put them in your cart at the store. Some of the extra features includes a database of items for quick reference and you can add to the database as well. You can create multiple lists and also share lists with other people in the family. The app has a clean UI and it's easy enough to use. However, users have complained about the occasional bug. Like most new Android apps, we expect the issues to get ironed out as time goes. It's a good, simple, basic grocery app list without too many frills.
Vectorify da home
Price: Free
Vectorify da home gets our award for the best name for an app this month. It's actually a simple wallpaper app with an emphasis on vector graphic wallpapers. There are over 400 designs available right now and each one has some customization options available. For instance, you can change the background as well as the color of the graphic itself. Thus, you can set almost every design to fit whatever theme you want. The app is entirely free, open source, and you can set the wallpaper directly from the app. Plus, the UI is simple to use for just about everybody.
Vivaldi Browser Beta
Price: Free
Vivaldi Browser Beta is a new browser from the makers of Opera Browser. It's actually not a half bad browser. The UI looks pretty good and browsing is reasonably fast. Additionally, it comes with almost all of the desirable features such as syncing with its desktop version, a dark mode, encrypted syncing, and some extra niceties. There is also a built-in note function and you can screenshot entire web pages through the app. It's in beta and still has a way to go. However, it should compete favorably with Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and other mobile browsers with a desktop variant.
