Best Android apps in the Google Play Store week 28

In ‘Best Android apps’ we discuss a selection of cool apps that can inspire you every time. This time the brand new TracesOfWar app and a privacy-friendly note-taking app.

TracesOfWar

With over 130,000 locations related to the Second World War and other wars, TracesOfWar.nl is a frequently consulted website. Visitors plan their city trip or holiday on the basis of the war museums and places of interest listed on the website. From now on, this is also possible with the new app for tablet or smartphone. This makes it easy to see which sights are located in any place in the world.

With the app you can search for places of interest by place name, but you can also directly view what can be seen or visited in any location in the world. Points of interest can be added to favorites for quick access. Just like on the website, places of interest are classified by type, such as museums and monuments. Each type has its own recognizable icon on the map. TracesOfWar volunteers aim to provide relevant photos and information at each point of interest.

SilentNotes

SilentNotes is the note-taking app that promises to respect the privacy of its users and the app works with end-to-end encryption of notes. This means that your texts are unreadable to others if they are intercepted. Furthermore, the app is open-source, meaning that anyone can check how the software works on the developer platform GitHub.

Interesting about this app is that it also comes with a limited word processor, so you can give a nice style and structure to texts. In addition, you can back up your notes via your own NAS server or a cloud service of your choice.

Unit Converter

Unit Converter is, as the name suggests, a converter that can convert all kinds of different units. Examples are currency, fuel, sounds, pressure and temperature. The app also includes tools such as a periodic table, scientific calculator, and equation solver. The advantage of this app is that it is easy to use and weighs only 4 MB.

AllTrails

With AllTrails you can discover hiking trails, bike rides and running routes around the world. The platform contains more than 300,000 routes in more than 100 countries. In addition, AllTrails is a worldwide community of 25 million nature lovers who jointly create route maps, provide reviews and add photos. It concerns walkers, mountain bikers and runners.

In the AllTrails app you will find dog-friendly or child-friendly walks, beautiful mountain bike trails or backpacking trips. You will also find new hiking trails in your area. AllTrails is free to use and the paid plan comes with more features such as off-route notifications and offline use of the app.
