Unique and useful apps worth trying on your phone now [24/1/12]

The Play Store doesn’t provide an easy way for Android users to find the latest apps added to its extensive library, similar to the App Store on iPhones and iPads. That’s why at the Computer World website, we monitor new apps throughout the week and select ones that offer value to users and are worth downloading and trying out to review in our Best Apps of the Week article. Whether you’re using an Android phone or an iPhone, you will find at least one app here that allows you to maximize the benefits of your phone. With that in mind, below is a carefully curated collection of new Android and iPhone apps that you should try out.

1- Twine AI Launcher
Twine AI Launcher is a customizable interface with a built-in artificial intelligence assistant designed to make it easier for you to use your Android phone. The interface organizes all your installed apps on the home screen, displays the time and weather, and features a row of your top 4 frequently used apps for easy access. At the bottom of the interface, there is a chat box that connects you directly to an AI bot, allowing you to ask questions and get instant answers as long as you have an internet connection.

2- Island Widgets
For iPhone 14 Pro users, this app allows you to make the most of the Dynamic Island feature by adding useful widgets to display real-time internet speed, countdowns, step counts, heart rate, weather, and more on top of your screen while switching between apps.

3- CopyBox
A storage app that collects anything you copy on your iPhone, whether links, images, or text, and saves them in an organized manner for easy retrieval and recopying. It also allows manual data entry without the need to copy it first.

4- Fossify Gallery
A free and open-source media gallery app for securely browsing photos and videos on your Android phone without intrusive ads or unnecessary permissions. It includes a simple photo editor and a tool for removing metadata from photos for privacy.

5- Capture
An app that allows you to quickly jot down notes or ideas using a ready-made text box on the app interface or a Widget on the home screen. It automatically organizes your notes for easy retrieval and provides an export function to transfer your content to other apps.

6- Summify
This app uses the Whisper AI artificial intelligence model to convert speech into accurately written text, regardless of the language. It also summarizes this text automatically, making it useful for lectures, meetings, and more.

Other noteworthy apps worthy of mention and try:
– ShadowLens: Capture high-quality photos and videos at a standard time rate.
– Draw AI: Converts ordinary hand-drawn sketches into creative artworks using artificial intelligence.
– Anywhere: A music player that doesn’t require the internet and offers powerful features for a seamless listening experience.
