Best Android apps in the Google Play Store week 13

In ‘best apps’ we discuss a selection of cool apps that can inspire you. This time we’ll be discussing an open-source chat app, an open-source weather app, and a new app that aims to help you and your friends save money for a common goal.

Fabulous: Daily Routine Planner

Fabulous is an app that helps you achieve concrete goals and adjust your daily schedule accordingly. For example, you can work on a healthier sleep cycle, weight loss and sports, excessive consumption behavior or perform better and concentrated at work.

For all these purposes, Fabulous helps to create a time schedule that puts you on the right track. All recommendations are always scientifically substantiated and you can get acquainted with things that are new to you, such as mindfulness or yoga. The app goes one step further than most apps that allow you to track habits, because Fabulous really guides you like a coach.

Little pot

Potty is a new app that aims to help you and your friends save money together for a holiday, festival, gift or any other dream. No more making advances and waiting for your money back, but saving together in a structured way to be able to experience every dream.

Via Potje every user can open a digital money pot and invite friends to participate. This is possible for a jar with a clear target amount, such as the costs for a holiday home, but also for a jar with a fluctuating balance, such as a beer jar with your best friends. Because Potje works via iDEAL and Bankcontact, you can transfer money through almost any bank. Which is handy, because your friends are of course not all at the same bank. The app also provides automatic reminders when users need to transfer an amount and creates positive peer pressure by being completely transparent about who has already transferred money and who is late.

Signal: private messaging app

Signal is an open-source chat app that works largely similar to WhatsApp. Blue checks have even been added, as has the ability to quote messages. You can also use it to call other people, and of course send messages. Signal works with the strong end-to-end encryption through Open Whisper Systems, the developer of Signal, has even created this encryption technique. WhatsApp, Google and Facebook also use this for their services. This code has been tested and assessed as safe several times by agencies such as the Electronic Fronteer Foundation and Bits of Freedom. The Dutch community ‘#Clear Signal’ puts Signal forward as the app that we should all use for our daily communication and security expert Donny Maasland of ESET Netherlands is also in favor of this.

In 2021 we held the Signal Theme Week on Androidworld and in that week you could read all kinds of articles about this chat app on your favorite Android website. Here you will find an overview of all useful apps, tips and tricks, reviews and comparisons.

Geometric Weather

Geometric Weather is an open source weather app with a simple yet beautiful design where all data is displayed in one screen. There is a weather forecast by day, by hour and information about the UV index, air pressure and much more. The app also has a dark mode and a widget for your home screen.
