Thousands of Android apps. Hmm … Okay, I might be exaggerating a bit there but the number is more or less always in hundreds and we, at Guiding Tech, took the liberty of sifting through the plethora of Android apps to find the best ones for you. So, without further ado, let’s get to know 7 incredible Android apps that you should use this November.
1. Pixel 2 Launcher
If you haven’t been living under a rock, you must have heard all the buzz about the Pixel 2 launcher. In fact, few other launchers such as Nova or Action Launcher now lets you emulate the Pixel 2 look. However, if you want the Pixel 2 look without investing much time on other launchers, the best option is to get the Pixel Launcher sideloaded to your Android. Created by XDA user paphonb, this launcher emulates the Pixel 2 look perfectly. All you have to do is download the file and install it after enabling Unknown Sources in Settings.
2. Owl Browser
Given the amount of tracking and privacy concerns making rounds, a private browser is a mandate for every Android phone and Owl Browser fits the bill perfectly. The app gives you the option to browse faster while letting you to maintain your privacy at the same time. It isn’t too heavy on the system and also boasts of a speed dial (saved sites on the app home screen).
3. NavBar Animations
The world of navigation bars doesn’t have many capable Android apps. Just a few months ago, the popular Navbar Apps was launched. Joining this league is NavBar Animations (No Root). This app lets you customize your device’s navigation bar by adding stylish and trendy animations at the top. All you have to do is pick your choice and enable it. The best thing about this app is that you can change the animation speed, color, and the animation triggers as per your choice.
4. Droidy Wallpapers
If you ask me, I find the name Droidy a bit geeky. However, true to its name, Droidy Wallpapers offers a collection of quirky wallpapers. Whether it’s a majestic skyline of a city, a Simpson character, vintage cars or artsy wallpapers, you’ll find it all here.
5. Another Widget
Don’t treat Another Widget like just another widget-maker. Okay, that was a lame joke. I take it back. On a serious note, I found this widget-maker to be quite handy. Another Widget aims to bring a portion of the Pixel 2’s look to your Android phone. It’ll smartly summarize your calendar events, along with weather information, and bring it to your home screen. The best thing about this app is that it doesn’t choose the settings randomly and gives you the option to customize your calendar and weather settings.
6. Sano Icon Pack
Want a minimalist yet stylish icon pack to grace your phone’s home screen? Say “Hi” to Sano Icon Pack. It has a whopping 3,500 icon styles under its umbrella and lets you choose from a variety of colors. So, if you want your weather icon to be blue, and the calendar icon as red, the Sano Icon Pack can make it happen.
7. Icon Pack Mixer
You must be wondering ‘why another icon pack’? Well, it’s because having the same type of icons is passé. Icon Pack Mixer does what its name suggests. It mixes the shapes of the icons. It starts off by choosing the best icons from all of the installed icon packs and lets you pick the best ones. Though the initial process is a bit lengthy, the end result is a mixture of both class and style, provided you have picked up the best icon packs.
