Top 4 Android apps you shouldn’t miss this week – Android Apps Weekly


StreetComplete

StreetComplete

Price: Free
StreetComplete is a crowd source app for OpenStreetMap. It lets you add various bits of data to the service for future use. It asks things like speed limits, building addresses, park purposes, and other such things. The idea is to improve OpenStreetMap with information sent in by real people. The app is a little wonky, but it works fine. It only lets you do things in your immediate vicinity. You do have to create an OpenStreetMap account, though.


Lawnchair Launcher

Price: Free
Lawnchair Launcher is a new, open-source launcher. It mimics a lot of the look and feel of Google's Pixel Launcher. That includes a similar app drawer, home screen, and Google Now access. It also features icon support, variable icon sizes and grid sizes, dock customization, adaptive icons, and more. It's light, it's efficient, and it's fast. It is also in beta. That means there are bugs. It is free to download, though.

Wrecker's Revenge is a free game from Cartoon Network. The game play is to bounce Gumball to various platforms. Your goal is to save your friends and reach the end of the level.

It's also easy enough to play.


Night Run

Price: Free / $0.99
Night Run is a new, minimal infinite runner. It features basic graphics, fast game play mechanics, and a very simple premise. You lose health as you run. You must continuously grab hearts to get it back. Unlike most, this one isn't a freemium game. There is one $0.99 purchase to remove advertising. Otherwise, it's a perfectly acceptable time waster game without a lot of strings attached.
