The Google Play store is filled to the brim with apps and a ton of them are released every day. February brings us a new batch of apps and we’ve compiled a list of the top five that Android users like you should absolutely have on their smartphones. Our list of the best free Android apps contains a decent offline game that tests your hunting skills, an app that helps you prioritize tasks according to your daily schedule, and a wallpaper app that will help you cheer up your smartphone experience.

1. Priorities

The name of this app pretty much gives away the plot, but it’s much more than that. Note-taking apps can be found very easily and there are plenty of them in the Play Store. Priorities comes with a very simple and straightforward user interface that is easy to understand even for a novice user. The app helps you organize your daily schedule, events, and all your pending jobs and plans in a very systematic way.

You can add tasks to your backlog and bank them while your most important work is displayed on the homepage. You can also rearrange them based on urgency so you know which ones need your attention.

2. Elo-Audio

Reading stuff can be fun, but not always. Especially when it’s a working document you’d rather listen to than read. Elo Audio might just help you with that. This app is for people who like to listen to things instead of just reading. The app allows you to import your personal documents and PDFs so that you can then organize them on your reading list and listen to them at your convenience.

The app also has a different column where you can listen to ongoing events from different newsletters embedded inside the app itself. It also lets you create a playlist so you can organize your own list for later. Elo Audio also lets you choose the voice, and the options range from a reporter’s voice to a yogi, surfer, and others. This application can be used while traveling or also before going to sleep, it works a bit like a podcast. It is also ideal for the visually impaired.

3. Actuflow

Actuflow is an application that allows you to focus on your work or your studies instead of consulting your smartphone for the umpteenth time. Once Actuflow mode is activated, the device asks for a reason why you are trying to unlock the phone. After entering the reason, it saves it in the statistics and records the total time you spent on the phone.

This allows you to check at the end of the day where you have used most of your time. Actuflow records the total number of unlocks you’ve done in a day, like Digital Wellbeing. This app is for people who always check their smartphones for little things. Writing a reason to unlock the phone every time is a little shocking, and it helped me reduce my screen time.

Big Hunter has good graphics and music

4. great hunter

Big Hunter reminded me of the flash games I used to play as a kid a few years ago. It’s a very simple yet fun game to play, especially when your internet connection is down or you’re traveling somewhere in a bus or car. The logic of the game is quite simple. Essentially, you have to hunt down the animals that try to trample you. There are several stories with different animals like a mammoth, a rhinoceros and the bird of terror.

You have to throw a spear at them in order to kill them before they do the same to you. There are many levels in one story and the game feels long. Big Hunter has decent graphics and the music adds to the fun.

There is a huge library of wallpapers to choose from

5. NothingButWallpapers

NothingButWallpapers is another wallpaper app that made our list. What should I say, we like to personalize our devices. This app has enough wallpapers to choose from which could match your style. The application contains all the wallpapers neatly classified so that you can choose them according to your preferences.

These categories range from abstract and pastels to Amoled and more. The user interface of the app is very minimal with all the wallpapers displayed on the home screen itself. It also lets you select a bunch of them and add them to the favorites list. The wallpapers are minimal and it only takes two clicks to apply.
