Best apps
In July we wrote about several applications. In this section of the monthly overview, we list the best apps of July.
Exodus Privacy
If you want quick insight into the permissions and rights of an app, the Exodus Privacy app is worth installing. This free app shows you which apps use which permissions. You can view this in detail and also see which trackers are in an app.
Google Fit
At the end of July, Google released a major update for the Google Fit app. The latest version of the health app gives users even more options and options to keep track of everything. Think of manually adding your heart rate, your food or the amount of water you drank. In addition, some improvements have been made to the interface.
ANWB On the way
An update that has added useful improvements came this month from the ANWB. The ANWB Weg app has been expanded with various improvements regarding parking. Users can see if there is cheaper parking nearby. In addition, from now on, the blue parking disc zones will also be shown in the ANWB Weg app.
polar steps
My favorite travel app is Polarsteps. You can digitally keep your travel diary. The Dutch developers released an update in July with a new feature; Polarsteps Guide. This allows you to quickly discover new places. Not only sights, but also other locations such as restaurants or other cozy places.
Albert Heijn
The Appie app from Albert Heijn has been expanded with a handy feature. The update that was rolled out this month brings the receipt in the Albert Heijn app. When you scan your bonus card, which is linked to your account, you will see the receipt of your purchases directly in your account in the app. Useful.
Google Maps
Google Maps rolled out many new improvements to the timeline early this month. The Timeline functionality in the Google Maps app gives you even better insight into where you have been and how you have moved. The new way lets you relive it more. You see how much time you have spent in restaurants, in shops and, for example, in the car; all with neat graphics.
Glimble
The Glimble app is a new application for public transport in the Netherlands. You can plan, book and pay for your entire door-to-door journey with the Glimble app. Before your trip, you can also see exactly what you have lost. There is a link with various shared services such as the public transport bicycle, Felyx and GoSharing, and the functionality will also be expanded in the future to include charging an electric car.
Bonus Tip: DroidApp App
The own DroidApp App gives you (ad-free) the most important news. News that has to do with everything that is important to you as an Android user. Whether it’s about new subscriptions from the providers, new smartphones or handy apps… you can read it all in the DroidApp App. You can also go to the DroidApp for the specifications and current prices of hundreds of smartphones.
