Looking for new and best Android apps and games to try? Well, we've got you covered. We are back for the 8th edition of our weekly best free apps and games for android. For all the newbies out there, we're always looking to find new apps and games for your Android device. If this sounds interesting to you, you can keep coming back as we cover it every week.
Over drop
While most Android devices these days come with a pre-installed weather app, the set of features it offers is not that exceptional. Additionally, these built-in Weather apps are notorious for showing annoying ads on some devices. You can replace this with a third-party Weather app. But we have a good alternative for you - Overdrop.
Overdrop provides detailed weather forecast sourced from leading providers such as Dark Sky Weather, AccuWeather and WeatherBit. The app will display various information such as UV index, cloud cover, pressure, humidity, visibility and much more. The app can also alert you to severe weather conditions such as extreme storms. Of course, there are 7-hour and XNUMX-day weather forecasts.
This weather app also provides customizable weather alerts such as when it occurs, when to report what, and more. Finally, we also look at weather radar with three map options – flat, spherical and butterfly. It takes data from EMC, NCEP, NWS and NOAA. What's a weather app without some pretty widgets? Well, you get that too. All these combine to make Overdrop one of the best free weather apps for Android.
- Weather forecast for 24 hours and 7 days
- Detailed weather forecast along with severe weather warnings
- Weather radar
- Beautiful weather widgets along with customizable weather notification
- Built-in privacy means location data is safe and secure

Skit is an application manager
When I first came across this Skit, I never thought that I would use an application manager and what purpose it would serve. Well, Skit is one of those apps that you don't think you need until you try it. The developers claim that this is the simplest and most intuitive program manager. The app offers many features and of course some of them are part of the premium version.
Using Skit, you can extract APKs and APKS (i.e. split APKs) from installed apps. You can then send them to your friends. Like most program managers, you can also uninstall them without any problems. You can see detailed information about each installed program. For example, you can see the permissions it uses, the activities it has done, services, certificates, resources, and more.
These app details are very useful and give you an idea of what the app is capable of doing behind the scenes. There are many other features like settings, app usage reports and more that are part of the premium version. That being said, the free version should be more than enough for your needs.
- Simple and minimal user interface
- Full control over your apps from extracting .apk files to uninstalling them

Collections
Collections is a unique wallpaper app that brings high resolution handmade wallpapers to the table. All wallpapers in this app follow a certain theme based on the collection. For example, we look at the Flow collection, which provides smooth and flowing gradients. There is also the Arch collection, which contains vectorized wallpapers related to architecture. The last collection we're looking at is Cycle, which brings 3D rendered geometry-themed walls.
As mentioned earlier, the app provides higher resolution wallpapers up to 2000×4000 pixels. These high resolution images make your device's wallpaper look stunning. The app also compresses images, but it's also smart to balance quality and size. The best part about this app is that the developers are constantly adding new wallpapers to one of the three collections mentioned. In fact, the program brings five wallpapers every week, which is quite attractive.
The app may have more collections, but the current ones also contain great wallpapers. Hopefully we can see a few more collections down the road.
