Best Android Apps in the Google Play Store week 11

In this weekly column we want to inspire you, and we do that by highlighting a series of interesting apps. Not every app will be relevant for everyone, of course, but chances are you will also get to know some great apps that you will not want to miss anymore. Here you will find our new selection.

Ratio

Many Android users love to completely personalize their smartphone, and the most important aspect of that is without a doubt the launcher. The free app Ratio opts for a division into three structures that you will find on your phone: the ‘Tiles’, the ‘Root’ and the ‘Tree’.

The Tiles or ’tiles’ provide an overview of all apps that are on your phone. Apps are organized into categories and Ratio highlights the apps you use most at any time of the day. The Root or ‘carrot’ is most reminiscent of the OnePlus Shelf. You get immediate access to a number of important tools that you often use. Write a note in one go and check the weather forecast or set a timer. Finally, there is the tree or ‘tree’, which brings all incoming notifications from messaging apps under one roof. There are also more functions in Ratio such as encryption and different themes.

Musicolet

There are of course plenty of handy music players in the Play Store, but Musicolet is an app that really catches the eye. It comes without ads or any internet access and therefore respects your privacy. In addition, the app is rich in functions.

First, she helps you structure your music library with tags you add and handy album editing options where you can add album art to multiple songs at once. The app also has a handy equalizer function and tracks are played consecutively. There is also support for lyrics that you can add, there are beautiful widgets, a sleep timer and Musicolet works with Android Auto.

Canary Mail

Canary Mail is a mail app that works with many email services such as Gmail, iCloud, Outlook and IMAP. In addition, the app bundles all your contacts in extensive profiles where you can also find media files that you have exchanged and the social media accounts of that person. She also works with end-to-end encryption so that your emails are encrypted. Canary Mail also supports read receipts and you can choose notification sounds depending on the email account receiving the mail. In addition, you can snooze e-mail so that you reply later, and Canary Mail gives you a handy overview of all attachments in a conversation.

HabitHub

Humans are creatures of habit. Once we get ourselves into a good habit or break a bad habit, we continue to behave in that same pattern. HabitHub wants to give users a boost to instill a new habit. You can keep a daily record of whether you have performed a particular habit and this way you get a nice graph and an overview to see how often you have performed it.

Suppose your habit is to walk 5 kilometers every day, then you can see how often you succeed, and you also see through the months whether you are successful more often or less often. HabitHub comes with several themes that make the app attractive and there is also a handy widget that allows you to tick off habits immediately.

Thanks for the tip, Ronny!
