Best Android apps in the Google Play Store week 28

In ‘best apps’ we discuss a selection of fun apps that inspire you every time. This time we discuss four very different apps that deal with medicines, caterpillars and pollen.

popit

Never forget to take your medicine again. Use Popit to set reminders for taking medication. Although the app for Android was developed to work with the same company’s medicine box, you can also use Popit on its own. If you use Popit for a longer period of time, you will even get a score for your medicine intake and you will be playfully encouraged to follow the medicine schedule more tightly.

Niagara Launcher

Phones are becoming an increasingly important part of our existence, but the home screen isn’t exactly tidy. Niagara is perhaps the most minimalistic launcher you will ever come across on Android. Instead of showing all apps at once, the developer of this launcher chooses to show only the most important apps directly. These are the apps that you can select yourself. With this you can always open all important apps at once, so opening the app drawer may be a thing of the past.

Plague radar – caterpillars on the map

Plague Radar – caterpillars on the map is an initiative of Plague Radar that collects data to create insight into nature. In this app you get an overview of all reports that have been made in your area about processionary caterpillars. You can also report the nests yourself in the app. These are also insights that can be used to make choices that contribute to sustainable management and promotion of biodiversity. Natural enemies, such as birds, contribute to this.

Hay fever & pollen App

‘Hay fever & pollen’ is A. Vogel’s hay fever app. In short, it is simple. On the homepage you will find a map with clouds in different colors that indicate the amount of pollen in the air. Just below the map you will get a weather forecast with the forecast for next week.

If you want to take a closer look at that forecast, swipe left on the map to view the forecast for the next five days. In the ‘Expectation’ tab you can see the pollen concentration that comes from different tree species, grasses and herbs. You can tune the app to a specific location. Also keep in mind that this is an A. Vogel app and she obviously recommends that you take the A. Vogel hay fever medication.
