Top 10 Unique & Best Free Android Apps – October 2019

VMOS – Virtual Root Android on Android-Double System

We are already familiar with Android emulators for PC, but how about Android emulators for an Android phone? Sounds funny, right? Well, it doesn’t have to be.

VMOS is a virtual machine running as an Android emulator. It can be installed as a normal app and used to clone the already-installed app on the phone with a single click. This might sound like regular app cloners like Parallel Space, but trust me, it’s different and powerful. Because it supports picture-in-picture mode, which means you can watch YouTube videos in a floating window or play it in the background. Besides, you can also play and run particular games in the background with customizable resolution. Top of all, VMOS can also run as a rooted system, which can be activated from Developer options → Grant root permission inside the VMOS.

However, the VMOS runs on an older version of Android; Android 5.1 and supports devices with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage.

Bridgefy – Offline Messaging

Bridgefy (launched in 2016) is certainly not a new or recently launched app, but the popularity and its usage have suddenly spiked up because of the ongoing Hong Kong protest. As Hong Kong government has restricted internet usage, sending messages and communicating has become one of the major problems for the protestors. But Bridgefy has risen as a solution to this.

Bridgefy is an offline messaging app which creates a mesh network of its own and enables communicating with friends and family over Bluetooth. This doesn’t require any kind of access to the Internet. You can chat person-to-person within 330 feet (100m), however, to communicate over 100m, the “Mesh Mode” is activated and messages go through a large number of people in the mesh until it reaches the receiver.

The app is definitely a life-saver app because it enables communication in situations like natural disasters. Other than offline messaging, this app does have an optional online mode to chat over the internet connection.

Reddigram

Reddigram is a third-party Reddit client whose interface is inspired by Instagram. All visually eye-pleasing contents are displayed in Instagram-style, and if Reddit account connected, you can double-tap to upvote the posts.

The app was recently featured as #5 Product of the Day on Product Hunt too. However, Typewise is currently beta phase and only invitees are given access to try and use it.

Speaker Cleaner – Remover Water & Fix Sound

Ah, despite smartphones these days are packed with features like radar sensor (Pixel 4 and 4 XL) and trypophobic multiple cameras (iPhone 11), still flagships like OnePlus 7T Pro lacks IP rating for water-resistant. This means your phone is constantly in danger of getting damaged when exposed to water. And even the phone survives the drowning, your phone’s speaker might not.

So, to solve that, the Speaker Cleaner app does as what its name says; clean the speaker by using a certain frequency of sounds to remove the remaining water. The app is highly rated on Play Store.
