App developers set new standards every day to improve our smartphone and tablet experience. In fact, so many Android apps are coming out every day that it’s hard to keep track of them all. It’s hard to usurp the best of the best, but if you’re bored and want to try something new, check out the best new Android apps of the past month! You can watch the videos from the last months by clicking here! In the video above, you can check out our picks for the best new Android apps of 2019!
Adobe account access
Price: Free
Adobe Account Access is a fairly simple app for Adobe Creative Cloud users. You can log into your account with two-factor authentication, but without the need for a 2FA app or text message. That’s about all it does, and it worked well in our tests. The only real problem is that the app doesn’t support all Android phones and seems to be missing some pretty popular ones like the Galaxy S8 and Note 8. It’s not exactly exciting, but it’s something Adobe Creative Cloud users should definitely try.
Bazaart
Price: Free / $ 3.99 per month
Bazaart photo editor and graphic design app with some great tricks and effects. Some of the effects include the ability to remove backgrounds from photos, a ton of stickers and backgrounds to add instead, and some simple things like scaling, rotating, rotating, and other such things. However, the main attraction in this case is the removal of the background and the ability to save as transparent PNGs so you can export a photo without a background for other uses. You can unlock the premium features for $ 3.99 per month, but the free version is decent too.
Firefox daylight
Price: Free
Technically, this is not a new version. Mozilla rewrote the Android app from scratch and named the project Firefox Daylight. This makeover includes a new user interface, faster browsing, better tracking protection (enabled by default) and an easily accessible one-tap private mode. Of course, it still works with Firefox’s bookmarks and history sync, and it still has most of the old Firefox features. For more information on this new update, visit the Mozilla Official Blog.
Google AdMob
Price: Free
Google AdMob didn’t have a native Android app until this month for some reason. Not many people use AdMob other than developers, but it seems to be working as intended. Developers can see how their apps are performing, get statistics on various things, and check their actual cash receipts. The user interface is simple but effective and things seem to be working fine. However, it’s in the beta version of Early Access, so there are likely to be some bugs and some missing features. If you do try make sure to use the feedback option to suggest changes to google.
LTE band (NV) calculator
Price: Free
With the LTE Band (NV) calculator you can see which LTE bands your phone supports. This one is only available for Qualcomm devices, but since this is most devices it should work for most users. It’s primarily intended as a diagnostic tool and people definitely won’t be using it every day. However, this will allow you to view all the LTE bands that your phone supports. There isn’t much to say about this. It’s a nice little app that does one thing right. It’s in Early Access Beta, however, so some bugs may appear here and there.
Pulled over
Price: Free
PulledOver is a safety and emergency app for people who are stopped by the police. It has some built-in tools, including the ability to record audio and video, a one-touch button to notify an emergency contact, and you can share your footage with other people using the app so they can see what’s happening is. This was done in direct response to recent police riots, but it’s a useful app even if you don’t take it into account. The app is currently free.
Secure clips
Price: $ 1.99
Secure Clips is a private clipboard that is separate from the Android operating system and other apps. You can copy and paste content directly from the context menu by clicking the three dot option after selecting text. You use the same three-dot trick in the context menu to share it through the app as well. From there, you can keep it without letting other apps know about it. The app also has a note-taking mechanic in case you want to take private notes as well. It worked well enough in our tests and is a decent app for privacy protection.
SlideScan
Price: Free / $ 5.99 per month / $ 19.99 per year
SlideScan is a tool for people who need to digitize their slide collection. The app will scan the slide with your camera and then add some photo effects to brighten it up and make it look pretty good. All you need is a lighted source (a computer screen works fine) to get started. After you save the pictures on your phone, you can share them or save them elsewhere as needed. The subscription cost for such a niche tool is a bit high for us. We recommend getting a monthly subscription, digitizing all of your data, and then canceling as it doesn’t need to be used all the time.
Take care of yourself
Price: Free
Take Care of Yourself is a new app from Philips, the company that makes Hue Lights. It’s a super simple lifestyle app with some tips and tricks on how to be healthier and take care of yourself. The app contains things like articles that range from stress reduction to a close shave. There’s also a to-do list feature, but it pales in comparison to actual to-do list apps. It’s a decent source of some basic information, but we expect Philips to build on this over time.
Yuka
Price: Free / $ 20.00 per year
Yuka isn’t the newest app on the block, but it recently launched in the US. In Europe, it’s a decent health app with a scanner and a simple premise. You scan things and the app instantly tells you if it’s good or bad for you. There’s not a lot of super-specific context, but that’s what it’s all about. A green dot means it’s reasonably good for you, and a red dot means the opposite. It gets the basics right, and since that is the point, the app does a good job with most products. The premium version is expensive but costs per year and includes things like offline support, assistance with specific nutritional needs, and much more.
