Best Android apps in the Google Play Store week 26

In ‘best apps’ we discuss a selection of fun apps that inspire you every time. This time we’ll discuss four very different apps, including one for story discovery, one for learning to code, and a battery monitor.

Garden Butterfly Guide

It’s nice and warm again, summer is here! That means that butterflies can be seen again when you go outside. Are you also curious which butterfly is fluttering in your garden? Is it an atalanta, or a little fox? The makers of the Veldgids app now come up with the Tuinvlinder app. This app was made in collaboration with the Butterfly Foundation, so you know whether it is a colorful sand eye or a small fire butterfly. Or perhaps a large fox, which has been seen more often in gardens in recent years?

Access Dots

With Android 10, Google launched a new permission for apps that only applies when the app is in use. That should prevent its apps from running in the background. However, there are apps that only function if they are constantly allowed to perform a certain function. For such apps and smartphones that run on an older version of Andorid, there is the Access Dots app.

With this app you can display a colored dot on your screen that shows when your camera or microphone is active. The app knows that because it works as an accessibility feature on your phone. By default, Access Dots show a green dot when an app in the background turns on your camera, and an orange dot shows it when the microphone is on. More about this app can be found here.

overdrop

Overdrop is fully committed to a strong interface and a beautiful appearance. You can choose between different light and dark themes, the app contains clear graphs and there are no fewer than 51 different widgets with which you can personalize your home screen completely to your preference. This app also includes a handy function that allows you to view the weather for the next 96 minutes in detail. Overdrop lets you choose between three weather providers.

PlanMyRoute – Route Planner & Run and Bike Map

The PlanMyRoute app was launched in the Play Store by a runner who found it difficult to create routes for specific distances. In PlanMyRoute you can create nice routes yourself, wherever you are. You simply start marking the starting point on the map, then tap the green button and a new location to extend the route for as long as you like. Then tap the green check mark to save the route and you will also find the route on the home screen. The app is not only intended for runners, but can also be used to plan a bike ride or a walk.
