You can check out our selections for the best new Android apps from 2020 in this video.

The best new Android apps from November 2021

Air Jordan Outlet

Price: Free

Air Jordan Outlet is a shopping app specifically for Air Jordan shoes. It’s a fairly niche app but it works pretty well. You browse for the shoes you want, buy them, and then eventually you get your shoes. The app is simple enough to use with logical buttons that make sense. The only part that felt kind of off is that this is definitely a web wrapper instead of a native app to the point where one of the pages in the app encouraged me to download the app that I was currently using. It’s definitely not as good as its 4.8 rating would suggest, but it’s still pretty decent for buying shoes.

Chroma Galaxy Live Wallpapers

Price: Free / $3.49

Chroma Galaxy Live Wallpapers by Roman De Giuli, known for his 8K abstract videos on YouTube among other places. The app puts some of his artwork in live wallpaper format so you can enjoy it on your home screen. It includes over 250 wallpapers across 16 categories. Many of those are from previous works and some are unique only to the app. The free version includes 30 wallpapers so you can thoroughly try it before you buy it. Even the free version doesn’t have ads or anything like that so it’s a nice overall live wallpaper.

Document Reader

Price: Free / $6.49

Document Reader is a simple, but effective document reader. It works for most popular file types, including Microsoft Word, Excel, and Spreadsheet documents along with PDF. There aren’t a lot of complicated things about this app. You pick the file and it opens so you can have a look. Perhaps the more useful function is the file converter that can turn a bunch of stuff into PDF if you need it. Such apps aren’t as useful anymore since you can get the original app for the file type these days. However, if you find yourself in need of one, this one works pretty well.

Geo Music Player

Price: $0.99

Geo Music Player is a decent and simple music player. It does the basic stuff well. You can look for your stuff by artist, album, song, and folder. It also supports playlists, lyric files, a light and dark theme, and an overall app size of about 5MB.

F1 TV

Price: Free / $26.99-$79.99 per year

F1 TV has been out for a very long time, but it only recently introduced its Android TV app. It works the way you would expect. The app lets you stream F1, F2, F3, and Porsche Supercup events straight to your TV. It also includes extras like talk shows, pre-race events, and an archive of old races. There is even a driver cam feature where you can watch straight from the car. The app shares space with the official Android app so you’ll find both at the same link below. It’s also the same subscription for both so if you’re already subscribed to F1 TV, the Android TV app should work once you log in.

Price: Free

Novi is a new digital wallet app from Facebook. Its primary focus is letting you send and receive money internationally. You input your money, convert it to USDP, and then send it to other people. The other person converts out of USDP into their native currency and then withdrawals the money. That’s basically the long and short of it. The app boasts various anti-fraud measures with a focus on security. For example, it verifies the identities of everybody who uses the app. It doesn’t work everywhere yet and it’s only really good for small transfers. We assume it’ll expand over time.

Red Robin

Price: Free

Red Robin is the latest restaurant chain to release an official app. It does the same stuff as most restaurant chain apps. You can order meals, check your loyalty rewards, and have your food delivered straight from the app. Red Robin’s loyalty program includes quite a bit of free food as well, so it’s nice to have a place to keep track of it. There are parts of the app that need some additional optimization. In addition, users have reported some bugs with the sign-up process. However, once you get passed all that, it works about as well as can be expected.

Roll20 Companion

Price: Free

Roll20 Companion is the official app for Roll20, an online platform for tabletop gamers. The app lets you do several of the functions from the site. You can view character sheets, roll dice, and do some other basic stuff. Of course, the actual site does a lot more things. We would’ve liked it more if the app more closely mirrored the website and let us do more. It is a new app, though, and it should improve over time. We look forward to seeing how this evolves over the next year or two. The app is free to all Roll20 users, so there is no harm in trying it out.

Scrolling Icons Live Wallpaper

Price: Free / Up to $1.99

Scrolling Icons Live Wallpaper is a simple, minimal wallpaper. It basically scrolls icons across your home screens when you interact with it. You can use the icons on your device or download an icon pack and use those instead. There are enough customizations to make this look about how you want. There are also things like FPS sliders so you can find a good mix between performance and battery life. The premium version adds some additional customizations as well. It’s a good live wallpaper, especially for people who enjoy wallpapers that aren’t too busy.

SyncUP Kids

Price: Free / Varies

SyncUP Kids is an app from T-Mobile that works with hardware that T-Mobile also sells. Basically, T-Mobile sells you a smartwatch that you give to your kids. The app lets you track your kids in a variety of different ways. You can track things like steps taken, the battery life of the watch, and location via GPS. Kids can also use the watch to call and text parent-approved contacts. The watches have some neat features, like a 5MP camera to take pictures. It’s a neat overall idea and it may be worth looking into for T-Mobile customers with kids.

He has a degree in History and a postgraduate qualification in Computing. Read more.

A new Android device means transferring all of your content, including your favorite apps, from old to new. You don’t have to do this manually as Google offers built-in support for backing up and restoring your content. Here’s how you do it.

These steps may vary based on your device manufacturer, Android version, and may only be available on newer builds of Android. If you don’t have these steps available at all, you can use a third-party app provided by your device manufacturer to transfer your apps instead.

Using the Google Backup Method

Google uses your Google account to back up your content, including apps, using your included Drive storage. You’ll need to make sure you’ve enabled Google Backup on your old device before you make any transfers.

Switch On Google Backup

To start, access your device “Settings” menu in the app drawer or by swiping down to access your notification shade and then tap the gear icon.

Next, tap on “System.” If you have a Samsung device, the option is “Accounts and Backup.”

In the next menu, Samsung owners will need to tap “Backup and Restore.” Other Android device owners can ignore this step.

Tap on “Backup.” Samsung owners, ensure that “Back Up My Data” is toggled on and then select “Google Account.”

Make sure that “Back Up to Google Drive” is toggled on and tap “Back Up Now” to ensure your apps are completely backed up.

You can also tap “App data” to scroll through and check that every app you want to transfer is listed. If they are, you’re ready to start transferring, so switch over to your new device.

Transfer Your Apps to Your New Device

When you power up a new Android device or a device that has been reset to factory settings, you’ll be given the option to restore your content (including apps) from your Google Drive backup.

Again, it’s important to note these instructions may also vary depending on your version of Android and your device’s manufacturer.

Power on your new device and follow any initial instructions until you’re given the option to begin restoring your data. Choose “A Backup from the Cloud” to begin the process.

On the next screen, you might be asked to sign in to your Google account, so do this first. You will then see a list of recent backups from the Android devices linked to your Google account.

To proceed, tap the backup from whichever device you want to restore.

You’ll be given a list of content options to restore, including your device settings and contacts. “Apps” might be deselected, so tap the checkbox next to it and then select “Restore.”

As your data is restored, you can finish the rest of the setup process and begin using your device.

Once the restoration is complete, your apps (and other content) will be transferred to your new device from your Google Drive backup, ready for you to use.

Checking Your Google Play Store App Library

If you already set up your new device before restoring or transferring data, it might be worth looking at what apps you have previously installed using your Google account. Your apps library on the Play Store will let you quickly install any apps you might be missing on your new device.

To start, open the Google Play Store app and then expand the hamburger menu in the top-left corner.

Tap “My Apps & Games.”

Listed in the library tab will be devices “Not on This Device.” Tap “Install” next to any (or all) of the apps you want to install on your device.

Using Third-Party Apps

The best and most reliable method for most users is to use the built-in Google Backup method to transfer your apps and other content. If that option doesn’t work for you, third-party apps are available.

Like the Google Backup method, these will allow you to transfer your apps from one Android device to another. Most of these options are available from the Google Play Store and sometimes preinstalled.

The best and most reliable are those offered by device manufacturers such as LG Mobile Switch, Huawei Backup, and Samsung Smart Switch. You can also find other third-party apps, but these have a mixed reputation, with users reporting they don’t work as well on certain devices.

Samsung Smart Switch, for instance, will let you transfer apps and your other content from one Samsung device to another. You can do this wirelessly or connect your devices together using a suitable USB cable.

Transferring from iPhone to Android

Android and iOS are two entirely different environments, so it isn’t possible to directly transfer your iPhone apps to an Android device. Many developers offer their apps across both platforms, however, and Google can look for any matching apps for you during the new device setup process.

When you begin setting up a new Android device, rather than choosing to transfer from a Google Drive backup, tap the option to transfer data from your iPhone and then follow the on-screen instructions.

Samsung device owners can also use the Smart Switch app, which offers its own “Download Matching Apps” option during the transfer process.
