4 Best New Android Apps for August

Back in June, we told you about four of the best new apps you couldn’t miss that month. Two months have passed, and hundreds — if not thousands — of new Android apps have been released. To help you cut through the app clutter, we’ve chosen four of our favorite can’t-miss apps released this month:

Tinctures

Tinctures combines text with simply-coded pictures. Tinctures offers lots of different pictures made from ASCII and Unicode, adding pre-written text above or below a simple drawing. You can share the pictures and words through text messaging apps — just copy and paste the Tinctures. Add your favorite Tinctures to a list to find and send them more easily.

Verne: The Himalayas

This app puts Google’s 3-D images of the Himalayas mountains to good use. With a yeti named Verne as your guide, you and your kids can explore beautiful images of snow-capped mountains, lakes, and fields. Watch Verne walking, skating, or even paragliding through some pretty spectacular panoramic views.

Artisto

Everyone loves Prisma, the Android app that puts a filter on your photos to make them look like they’ve been drawn by an artist. The only problem with Prisma is that it can’t turn your videos into similar hand-drawn works of art. Artisto fills that gap, letting you give your videos a painting-like effect.

Movesum

Designed to get you moving, Movesum gives you lots of ways to motivate yourself to be more active. Ultimately, Movesum is designed to let you know how much activity you need to eat the way you do. For example, if you have a slice of pizza, Movesum lets you know how much you need to exercise to work off those calories. Movesum also lets you set daily goals and sends you notifications to help you stick to your guns.
