Top 15 Android Apps Released in 2016 on Play Store

The year 206 is now coming to an end, on a positive note for you, we hope we have come back well from the many family dinners organized for the holiday and are already planning other festivities to celebrate the transition to 2017.

This awaits us firmly, but it is still worth taking a look at this year that has come to an end and will add a lot to us. The Play Store did not give us a single second of time and offered new applications every week.

After the list of the best games released in 2016, it’s time to take a look at the new app experiences released in 2016. It should approach 2017 with the best of the previous year.

Adobe Photoshop Fix/Sketch

After Adobe released only a small, hidden and incomplete photo editing app on the platform while all of its best tools were designed for iOS, it took a long time for the Android platform to consider it viable. But at the end of this year he decided to offer them to us on the Play Store. Where Sketch lets you draw with Adobe tools, Adobe Photoshop Fix lets you edit your photos with precision. A must-have for budding artists, of course.

Brave Browser

In 2016, security imperatives on the network became more and more important. Faced with this, many web browsers have stood up to offer solutions. Developed from the Link Bubble project, Brave Browser allows you to surf the internet absolutely without leaving any traces. It is based on Chromium and therefore has an interface that is more than intuitive for people who are familiar with Chrome, it is very light and fast.

chromium

During Google I/O this year, the American developer introduced us to “Chrome tabs” that allow apps with an integrated browser to use Chrome directly to improve the user experience. But what if you want to take advantage of this feature absolutely everywhere? Then came Chromer, a small app that offers just that. And believe me, your life changes when you are in the Google ecosystem.

Trusted people

Unfortunately, 2016 was not just a festive year in an environment where many troubles turned our society and the countries of the world upside down. Faced with this, Google released a simple but very powerful tool: trusted contacts. This allows you to create a list of trusted contacts who can ask for your location at any time. If you are fine, you can decline this request. However, if you do not answer, for example in an emergency, your location will be automatically shared with the caller. Simple yet brilliant in this problematic context.

Evie Launcher

The basic principle of Android is to allow anyone to completely change the style of their phone, thanks to the many launchers available on the platform. Evie Launcher is a bit new to launch this year and offers an unusual experience as it is not equipped with an app drawer but relies on a slide on the right (like Google Assistant for example) to get the ordered list of apps. Very minimalist but packed with options, it will delight many people who are looking for originality and simplicity on their phone.

Fitness Challenge 30 days

We won’t lie: our contemporary passions mean that we are too often screwed into our office chair or sofa, a sedentary lifestyle that is not necessarily good for the human body. Faced with this, the Fitness Challenge app decided to create a 30-day program of simple exercises to do at home that allows you to get in shape easily and without spending miles in the gym. Perfect to counter our inactivity a little.

flamingos

The official Twitter app on Android has always been at the center of some controversy as it is often inferior to other alternative apps offered by independent developers. Although he improved himself in 2016, we must admit that a new one stole his crown: Flamingo. This perfectly manages multiple accounts, allowing you to define the customization of the interface for each account and allows you to easily manage colors, highlights and more or less all your options in the app. A must-have for heavy network users.

Giphy

In 2016, we can no longer deny that there are a lot of GIFs on the internet that everyone uses to express their tiniest feelings. Giphy is the ultimate platform for finding your gifs, but it doesn’t have a dedicated app yet. It’s over now, allowing you to easily find the perfect GIF to send to your friends. The basic Swiss army knife of networking.

Google Hello and Duo

This year will of course be marked by Google’s arrival in an area we no longer expect: instant chat apps. Rather than develop Hangouts, which never really managed to integrate into the market, the developer decided to release a few new apps: Allo for text chats, promising more fun chats and comprehensive Google integration Assistant. Duo, on the other hand, promises quality video calls in all conditions. The app pair is highly recommended, but seems slow to convert fans from other services. Why not try it yourself at the end of the year?

Molotov TV

Traditional television isn’t necessarily in good shape and needs a revolution. Many gamers have had a hard time negotiating digital change and the change in audience consumption habits. Molotov was officially released this year and is now available on Android. With this service, you will find all the classic channels in a different way: replay is integrated into the application, as is the possibility to automatically save your favorite shows with one click. Without a doubt, this is the best way to watch mom and dad’s TV right now. Hats off to the team.

Quik

iOS has always had the iMovie app for quick small edits on its phone, but although there are equivalent solutions, Android didn’t have a serious alternative. In 2016, we were able to discover Quik, developed by the GoPro team, and it allows for exactly that: editing on your mobile with complete peace of mind and ease. The app is clean and works well, its interface is clear and pleasing to the eye, and successfully creating your vision has never been easier. Definitely one of the best apps for mobile video addicts.

Parcel Tracking

Like it or not, physical stores are getting less and less crowded as online stores become more and more successful. The only minor issue they face is that consumers generally manage to keep up with parcels converging in the direction of their home. ParcelTrack is perfect for solving this, allowing you to track live, regardless of the sender, where your package is and when it will arrive at your home. Perfect for those who order in bulk and also for those who want to see their ongoing shipments for sure.

prism

No wonder Google declared itself as the best app of 2016: PRISMA became fashionable as soon as it hit the Play Store. This app combines the job of retouching our photos with artificial intelligence, which we all love to do, to turn our photos into real works of art. To give your photo an original touch, you can choose a filter inspired by well-known works of art from many currents, old and new, to apply. Everything is perfect, the application works very well and everything urgently needs to be tested.

SKWRT

In the same vein as Prisma, another photo editing app is integrating this top with SKWRT this year. Behind this barbaric name hides an app that claims to be the most complete app on the market, with very advanced tools as well as classic editing tools. The best of 2016 comes from its many extensions that allow you to correct a photo’s perspective or apply a mirror effect. More than just a simple Instagram, you will have full control over your photo to correct your vision. Perfect app!

Swipe for Facebook

These days, the official Facebook app is still not exactly optimal and regular attention is paid to battery drain. As Twitter knows, the site hates the development of alternative apps that don’t stop some stubborn people from taking their chances. Swipe is one of them and above all it offers the possibility to customize its interface. Does a night mode in the Facebook app appeal to you? Swype is for you! Would you prefer apple green instead of the blue of the site? No problem. All in a smoother app than the official app, which is far from bothering us.
