Best Android apps in the Google Play Store week 30

Every Monday in the ‘Best Android apps’ section, we discuss a selection of cool apps with a high score in the Google Play Store. This time we discuss, among other things, a cool to-do list app from the makers of Forest and a handy app for listening to podcasts.

Coursera

There are many ways to learn things on the internet: you can of course just watch YouTube tutorials, or opt for a Udemy course, but there is also Coursera. This allows you to build in-demand skills by learning with experts from world-class companies and universities, according to the app itself. The idea is that with this app you can prepare for courses within your field, such as programming, data science, finance, marketing and design. You learn through videos and you can watch them on your mobile, so you can learn anytime, anywhere. You will also be given tests to see if you have mastered the material. There is a point of attention: it is all in English and there are no Dutch subtitles available.

Balance

If there are many apps for something, it’s for meditation. Balance is also such an app, but here you have a little more choice in the voice that talks to you during your meditation. That is an advantage, because in other apps you can often only choose one or two voices and if that doesn’t calm you down, that app is immediately a lot less pleasant to use. Balance does not suffer from that. You choose a ten-day program in which you learn the basics of meditation: you don’t have to be a yoga pro to use this app. Meditation can help with sleeping problems, stress, anxiety and it can give you better concentration. In short, many benefits, in addition to the fact that it also relaxes you and allows you to let go of the day.

Wanderlog

It’s summer vacation and for many people that means they’re going on vacation. Wanderlog is an app that allows you to plan your trip, whether you are going on a road trip or want to go to one destination and plan multiple trips. You can add your flight, your hotel and nice pictures to visit. You can also share your trip with others: beforehand with your travel group or afterwards with the rest of the world. You can also export places to Google Maps so you can save them there. There is also a connection with Tripadvisor, if you want to visit cool outings such as tours and amusement parks, or restaurants. In addition, there is also a section in the app that revolves around budgets: set how much you want to spend, keep track of your expenses and split the bills with the group.

Chat

Babbel: It’s a very nice name and you can imagine what it is: a language learning app. There are fourteen languages ​​(including German, French and Spanish) to learn and the app requires a commitment of 15 minutes per day. The app says it’s not only good for beginners, but also for people who’ve already learned the language and want to brush up a bit. For example, the app also pays a lot of attention to pronunciation: it wants you to learn the language as if it were your mother tongue (in terms of pronunciation) and that is why it contains special speech recognition technology, something that Duo Lingo sometimes has problems with. Also, even people from Yale University in the United States would praise the app.
