Top 5 apps to check out this week

The Play Store is an endless resource for apps of all kinds where many new apps are added every week. So where to start when you want to discover something new? AndroidPIT of course. Without further ado, here’s our picks of the week.

Be My Eyes

As the name implies, Be My Eyes is an interesting volunteer app for the blind. People who are blind or visually impaired can call you through the app, allow remote viewing of their smartphone camera, and allow you to guide them somewhere. Anyone can become a volunteer, so it’s important to keep in mind that this is a serious service.

Drag'n'Boom

Already a hit on iOS, Drag’n'Boom now finally hits the Play Store for Android. The concept is simple: you play as a dragon to destroy everything in its path like any self-respecting dragon. Dragons also love their gold, so here you'll have to snag as much loot as you can.

Direct Chat

For all you Facebook Messenger lovers out there, you can bring out your inner ‘chat head’ across different messaging platforms with Direct Chat. Direct Chat makes the loved/hated chat heads feature available across platforms like WhatsApp, Skype, Telegram, Slack and more.

Game Of Thrones: Conquest

As if the last season of Game of Thrones wasn’t exciting enough, all you GoT fans will be delighted to learn that Danerys, Jon and all of Westeros is available for the taking on your smartphone. Just like the series, you’ll find yourself in a war of families, but this time you’ll be the one to do battle in the bid for the iron throne. But remember what Ramsay said:"if you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention."

Rider

Not exactly new, but still has us hooked. Rider is an addictive cross between the classic Excitebike NES game and Tron. You guide the bike of your choice through a nostalgic realm of neon platforms with twists and turns that test your notion of physics in the way that Angry Birds-style games do. Just watch out for the boosters and collect all the diamond loot.

    I'm sorry, but I have to mention this Radio Streaming app by Audials. I found it at MUO website not long ago, and it's absolutely fabulous! It's internet radio, with tons of features. Best of all, you can record while listening, or schedule recordings in the background. It is free, no ads, and I can't even find a donation option. Great UI, and beats Google Play Music, TuneIn, and others. You have CTO see it to believe. Only a million downloads, which I found surprising. Here's a link:

    If this broken link makes it, just re-add the ht to beginning of it.
