I’m sure there are countless apps out there that are incredibly cool, interesting, or useful, but just haven’t hit the mainstream yet. Maybe it’s a productivity tool that’s boosted your efficiency, a unique game that’s kept you entertained for hours, or a niche app that’s catered perfectly to one of your hobbies or interests.

What are some Android hidden gem apps that you’ve used a bunch or think it’s really cool/interesting/useful?

Please share your recommendations, and if possible, a brief description of what the app does and why you find it so valuable.

Looking forward to uncovering some hidden treasures in the Android app world. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

    Niagara is by far my favorite launcher these days

    I use it with Frequaw as the only widget to launch the apps I use the most

    I rue the day Identiconizer falls behind on API versions and I won’t be able to install it on new phones anymore. Having identicons for contacts I don’t have photos for is just so much nicer than the plain letters.

    Living Worlds has gorgeous low-power animated wallpapers

    AlmostTI stops me from needing to learn how to use a newer calculator than the TI-84

      I keep hearing good things about Niagara, but it seems like such a shift from what I’m used to

        It’s very different but it’s so much faster to access the drawer and Frequaw covers 95% of what I used my home screen for

      Frequaw looks great! I’m going to give it a try.
