New Android Apps and Games: The Best of February

Microsoft has rewritten its launcher from scratch so it's now a completely new app. It has an auto-loadable Bing wallpaper, a dark theme, an updated Dock and landscape mode (useful for tablet users). According to the developers, the launcher has become more productive than before.

Microsoft Office

This application combines office editors from Microsoft - Word, Excel and PowerPoint. You can take documents and presentations in one place, annotate them and save them to the cloud storage. A built-in scanner with PDF export is also available.

ScreenOCR

Free Appendixthat recognizes text on photos. At the same time, he can translate text, save it as a document, or export it to other programs. Supports 50 languages, including Russian, and can read both printed and handwritten characters - of course, if they are clear enough in the picture.

PotatoNotes

The application is open source, you can use it without an account, and there is PIN protection. So you can be sure that your thoughts will not be available to someone else.

NVIDIA GeForce NOW

Creator Studio

A tool from Facebook for those who create content on the most popular social network in the world. Creator Studio helps you plan your videos, monetize them, and analyze your popularity. At the same time, you can reply to comments from subscribers here.

[removed] for reddit

Plant a forest

A match-3 game in which you plant trees - what you can guess from the name. You have to restore forest plantations after fires and clearings, collecting cards with different animals. The game will not only help kill time, but also serve a good cause: all the plants purchased by the players will be planted in Russian regions by the project PosadiLes.ru and activists of the ECA movement.

Tetris

Reissue of one of the most popular puzzle games that needs no introduction. Rotate the falling figures and put them in neat lines. You can compete with other participants or play alone offline. And in the near future, the developers promise to add a multiplayer mode to Tetris - whatever that means.

A useful thing for all Pokémon catchers. The app gives you access to a cloud storage service for your pocket monsters. You can load these creatures there, and then transfer them to other games in the series, for example Sword and Shield. In addition, this is where players buy new pieces for their collections.
