App developers are pushing the envelope on a daily basis, trying to improve and enhance our smartphone and tablet experiences. In fact, so many Android apps come out daily that it’s difficult to track them all, especially when Google provides zero resources to help find new apps.
The best NEW Android apps from March 2023
Dreamai is an AI art generator, a growing trend of apps in 2023. This one works like many others. You simply describe what you want to the AI and it creates the art for you. It’s similar in premise to things like Bing’s Image Creator. It can create a wide range of images, although you won’t get a result out of typing just anything. It works pretty well for what it does, especially considering how young this kind of stuff is.
Kiwi is a music-sharing service. It won’t let you share pirated files, but it does show your friends what you’re listening to. It’s mostly a social app like that. You and your friends sign up for the app, listen to whatever, and let your friends know what you’re listening to. They can then build playlists with your music, and everybody can share. It’s not entirely necessary since many social networks let you share your music anyway, but it’s a neat idea if it can gain traction.
Momentory
Price: Free / $1.99 per month / $18.99 per year / $28.99 once
Momentory is kind of like a diary app minus the writing part. You open the app, tell it how you feel, and over time you can track your mood swings. The app has a delightful UI, and it gets out of its own way so you can do what you need to do. Many diary apps do something like this but also encourage you to write down your feelings in more detail. This one omits the writing part and just lets you express yourself. The neat part of this one is that you can see over time how your mood is improving or deteriorating so you can do something about it.
NoteFor
Price: Free / $1.50
NoteFor sounds like a note-taking app, but it’s actually closer to a diary app. You write your entries, ideas, and life in the app. You can then recall it whenever you want. This one differs from most with its presentation. The app looks nice, formats your writing for you, and is enjoyable to use. You can also export to EPUB format so you can read back up your stuff on other platforms. It also lets you choose your font, add pictures, and manage multiple diaries at once.
PicSo
Price: Free / $9.99 per month / $69.99 per year
PicSo is the second AI art generator app on the list this month. This one advertises itself to a specific type of person, but you can use it like any other AI generator. You ask for an image, and it creates one for you. It also has the ability to import an existing image and make it look different. It can even work with some video clips if you want it to. This one requires a monthly subscription, but there is a limit to how much you can use it, even with the subscription. Test it before buying anything.
Soundclub is an events app for music festivals. It shows over 5,000 festivals that feature 1.2 million artists. The app shows things like tickets, reviews, band lineups, and more. You can use it to reference any given event, or to help you get your tickets in line. There is also a feed where you can share your experiences at any given event. Ostensibly, this helps others decide if they want to go to any given event. In reality, it’s just a fun little extra thing for people to do to engage with the app. It may be a boon for festival goers.
Symposia is a social network for artists. The goal of the network is to help creative types collaborate and network with one another. Unlike a standard social network, this isn’t a spot where you to go impress people, but many still try anyway. You can give feedback on artwork, have your artwork critiqued, and have a place to chat with people you meet there. We’re not sure how many people use the social network, but it is much smaller than your typical social network.
TrueShot
Price: Free / $0.49 per month / $4.99 once
TrueShot is a screenshot app. It’s fairly niche, but those who want really nice screenshots can get them here. You import a screenshot, decide on the background, and tweak the colors and settings to your liking before exporting the finished product. We don’t anticipate a lot of people needing something like this, but it’s available if you ever need it. The only weird part of it is the $0.49 per month subscription. We honestly think the $4.99 single price is the better option.
Vanishing Hour
Price: Free
Vanishing Hour is a Wear OS watch face. It employs a minimal style, so it looks pretty sleek on your wrist. The trick with this one is that the hour number disappears as the minute hand works it way around the face. You can have it go gray or disappear entirely, as seen in the screenshots above. There are some limited customization options, but the good part here is the high contrast, simple style, and battery-friendly black background. Plus, it’s free, and we like free things.
Weather by GLOBIN.dev
Price: Free / $0.49 per month / $2.99 per 6 months
Weather by GLOBIN.dev is a bit of an uninspiring name, but the functionality here is nice. You add in a location, and from there, you can see the current conditions, forecast, and more. It also has a good function for keeping track of the weather in multiple locations. There are some limited customization options as well. The app still needs a few coats of paint, but we think it has some potential to be pretty good later on down the line.
