New Android Apps and Games: The Best of November

Applications

1. Wacom Notes

You may be familiar with the name Wacom - this company specializes in creating graphic tablets, stylus and other tools for drawing and writing text. Wacom Notes is an application for creating handwritten notes. It is compatible with most devices, and if desired, you can write in it with your finger.

The program not only saves your notes in the form of handy notes, but also knows how to convert doodles into text that can be copied. And he does it quite accurately even in Russian - however, for this you need a free registration. And if you prefer writing instead of typing, Wacom Notes is definitely worth a try.

2. White noise

Some people do not tolerate the absence of sounds at all. Some play music, others turn on a TV or YouTube video in the background. White Noise is an application that will allow you to fill the silence without distracting you from your studies.

It generates different sounds: white noise, fire crackling, birdsong, rustling, sounds of the sea, thunderstorms or fireplaces, and so on. All this is allowed to be combined in any order. If you wish, you can set a timer, and after the required time has elapsed, the program will turn itself off. It will come in handy if you are going to go to bed while White Noise is working.

3. Stick around

In all fairness, this application should have appeared 10 years ago, when the Marvel Cinematic Universe was just gaining momentum. But even now it can become quite useful for moviegoers.

The thing is, Stick Around lets you know if the movie has a post-credits scene, a bonus teaser, and other secrets. With it, you can understand whether it is worth waiting for the Easter eggs after the finale or whether you can leave the cinema with a clear conscience.

Unfortunately, the names of the films are in English, but for fans of movie comics - and these are the people who most often wait until the end of the credits - this will not be a problem.

4. Swipe back

Modern Android smartphones are gesture-driven, and the on-screen Back, Home and Browse buttons are slowly becoming a thing of the past. But the world is full of users who see no reason to change their Android 7 if it still works great. It's not fair that they lack the convenience of gesture control - and the free Swipe Back program will fix that.

Install it, turn it on, and you can return to the previous page with a swipe gesture, just like in Android 11. Very comfortably. By default, Swipe Back grays out the gesture-responsive area. And after adjusting everything to your liking, do not forget to make it transparent in the settings.

5. Ancient olympia

Curious virtual museumrecreating Ancient Olympia. Here you can see 27 ancient Greek monuments: the stadium, the temples of Zeus and Hera, the Phidias workshop and many other structures. And also learn something interesting about them by reading the accompanying descriptions. Russian language available.

6. Brainstorm

The program has a rather interesting idea: it allows you to write down topics for discussion and create questions, and then sketch out options for them. That is, to conduct that very brainstorming session, only not as part of a group, but with oneself.

For example, you create a topic "What to give a friend on March 8", and then, when ideas come to your mind, add more and more new cards to your entries. You can add not only text to them, but also cool pixel pictures. For your favorite solutions, you can add a heart mark.

Of course, ideas could be written down in a regular notebook. But Brainstorm is clearer and prettier than a banal list in a note-taking app.

7. Sleep Tracker

If you want to track your sleep quality, you don't have to buy all sorts of smart bracelets: Sleep Tracker does a great job without additional devices.

The program uses your smartphone's microphone to detect how often you toss and turn, snore and talk. In addition, it displays detailed statistics about your rest, sleep phases and wake-up times. It can also serve as an alarm clock or lull you to sleep with special sounds.

8. SheetCalc

A calculator useful for students and mathematicians. Its peculiarity is as follows. You are provided with an endless sheet on which you can make calculations. You click on the "Add" button and enter the expression you want to solve.

Then the result can be clamped and dragged onto the free part of the sheet in order to perform further mathematical operations with it. This is useful if you are solving a complex problem and you need to save every step so that you do not get confused later.
