Discover 8 Amazing Apps Not Available on Google Play, Recently Found.. The Last App is Very Important and You Must Download it
As you may already know, on many occasions, you can find true hidden gems outside of the Google Play Store, as some Android app developers prefer to distribute their creations through third-party stores like F-Droid or through their project page on GitHub because they do not agree with Google’s store policies.
For this reason, we have once again compiled the best free Android apps not available on Google Play and present them to you so you can discover and try them without any commitment.
The first app on this list is Smart Dock, a new Android application launcher that provides you with a desktop-like experience, allowing you to work in desktop mode.
So, if you have a phone with a large screen or a tablet and you place it in landscape mode, with Smart Dock, you will have a dock at the bottom and you can use functions like multi-windows or keyboard shortcuts, which will help you improve your productivity.
It is a unique application that allows you to create a personalized photographic calendar and add a photo every day with a brief description.
You could say that FoCal is a personal diary focused on photographic images, allowing you to remember beautiful moments in a given day thanks to the photo you uploaded on that day.
It is an alternative version of the gallery app from the “Simple Mobile Tools” open-source project, recently acquired by the Israeli company ZippoApps, which is known for filling its apps with ads.
Fossify is an Android gallery app that inherits the key features of Simple Gallery Pro: it’s free, ad-free, and respects your privacy as it does not collect personal data.
Additionally, Fossify also has a range of really interesting features such as custom themes, a photo editor, a method to lock photos and videos using a PIN or pattern or fingerprint, a data erasure system, and a built-in recycle bin to recover deleted photos or videos accidentally.
Here is another highly practical tool that you won’t find on Google Play, which is Camera Folder, a free app that allows any app that can open JPG images from the gallery or from the phone’s internal storage to also have the ability to activate its own camera and take a picture.
This app is perfect for use with photo editing programs and drawing tools that do not allow access to the device’s camera.
As its name suggests, OpenBoard is an open-source Android keyboard based on the keyboard code embedded in AOSP, the free version of Android, but lacks Google additions so no one can collect data related to what you type.
Although OpenBoard does not have many features like Gboard or Microsoft Swiftkey, it has an automatic spell checker, customizable themes, and emoji support.
With each new release of Android, its developers usually include Easter Eggs, which are nothing more than a small game or animation associated with the name of each version of the Google operating system.
Well, this free app collects all the Easter Eggs that have been included in each Android version since its inception until now.
If you are looking for a tool to control data consumption and increase the battery life of your Android device, we recommend trying SuperFreezZ, an open-source app similar to the famous Greenify app that allows you to “freeze” background apps that are not a priority for you or do not give you much confidence.
We end this list of useful apps not available on Google Play with Insular, an app that creates a secure personal space in the form of a protection mode on your mobile phone, where you can clone and isolate apps from the rest of the device.
This tool is very practical for separating work apps from personal apps, replicating apps, using multiple accounts for the same app, and preventing certain apps that do not respect privacy much from accessing your personal data.
