AOW 25: APP OF THE WEEK

As of India is trying to launch its first self-reliant, indigenous App store as “Aatm Nirbhar App store” where basically the Indian users will develop & launch the apps globally. Users have grown to love Android for the plethora of features and customization options, but sometimes it can all get a bit confusing. 

Android is the most popular computing platform in the world, due in large part to its powerful open-source nature. So, Gizmeek had decided to list out the Top 5 Indian Android developers apps of the week. Users will get this list every Friday from now onwards. We simply termed it as “APP OF THE WEEK”. Our main ideology for this is to list out the best user-friendly, lesser time-consuming, & overcoming the confusion from the pool of apps. This is more like finding a shell from the deep ocean. 

Here is the list of apps: 


1. Quick Cursor: One-Handed mode
2. Did You Know? (Lock Screen - Fun Facts - Offline)
3. Windy.com - Weather Radar, Satellite, and Forecast
4. Groovepad - Music & Beat Maker
5. Sleep Theory - Sleep Tracker & Sleep Sounds

1. Quick Cursor: One-Handed mode

Swipe from the left or right margin from the bottom half of the screen. Reach the top half of the screen by dragging the tracker using one hand in the bottom half. Touch the tracker to click with the cursor. The tracker will disappear on any action outside the tracker or after a period of time. Makes it easier to use large smartphones with one hand by introducing a computer-like cursor controlled with one finger by swiping from the edge of the screen.


Features of the app are: 

○ Trigger more gestures with the cursor: long click, swipe, scroll, drag, and drop, etc
○ Floating tracker mode (the tracker will stay on the screen like a floating bubble)
○ Customize the triggers, tracker, and cursor areas size and position to better match your device dimensions
○ Customize the appearance of the tracker, cursor, or other visual effects/animations
○ Customize the tracker behavior (inactivity hide timer, hide on outside action)
○ Support for edge actions:
• expand notifications or quick settings
• trigger home, back, or recent button
• swipe from edge to open side menus
○ More options when the keyboard is open: move trigger above, keep the triggers over or disable them
