- We spent hours and days to find five best Android apps every month that you won't find simply lying around on Play Store but definitely deserve a try.
- This edition brings top picks for a muslim reminder, something to brush your language learning skills, an email management tool to name a few.
- Albeit these apps are readily available on Play Store, it involves a lot of digging through the noise since only a handful of apps are visible on the marketplace leaving these apps oftentimes undiscovered.
A new year calls for something new. Your phone might have a flagship chipset, but without apps (and internet), it is nothing more than a piece of brick. Best Android apps tend to help users navigate through their use cases, making it easier to do just about anything. But the only catch is, there’s a lot of noise on the Play Store, making it absolutely difficult to find the apps that can make a lot of difference.
Top 5 best Android apps you must check out!
We at True-Tech have been nitpicking these amazing apps for months, and here’s our take for January 2026.
Comfer Launcher
Category: Launcher
There comes a time when you are using your phone, as usual, and it seems like you are set on a monotonous path, the same UI, the same apps, and the same look and feel. Well, with Comfer Launcher, things do change a lot. Instead of opting for a regular style app drawer or app icons on the home screen, Confer Launcher introduces something different.
You get a circular quick menu for apps, or you can go to its app drawer, and boy, it looks different. Instead of regular drawers, Confer Launcher has a circular drawer that you can flick and rotate using just one finger. Find the app you have been looking at on screen in a fluid fashion, as if you were looking at the secret code of a safe with just one digit to open. The launcher lets you find apps at lightning-fast speed thanks to a circular keyboard that looks interesting to use. I have already switched to Comfer, when are you?

Preply
Category: Language Learning
I remember watching Narcos, glued to Netflix until it ended, and trust me, it was an exhilarating experience, with the only exception being that I don’t know Spanish or Español. I found it difficult at times to follow, as I had to read the subtitles as well. With Preply, finally, I can bid adieu to those days. With more than 100,000+ tutors, 180+ nationalities, and 120+ topics, it’s pretty easy to learn a new foreign language on Preply, where you can take lessons directly from tutors live.
Prely brings learning to goals, so it gives you points whenever you complete certain milestones. Get 1-to-1 lessons, flex scheduling to fit your life, progress you can feel, and plans from accent training, vocabulary, knowledge refresh, and more.

Cleanfox
Category: Email Cleaner
I have 4,000 unread emails, and the number continues to grow. Not that I don’t read emails, but rather, most of the emails are fluff and spam that require constant filtering. With Cleanfox, you will be able to exercise god-level email management, which means you’ll never miss important emails and communications thanks to its prowess in cleaning your emails like no other.

Blackmagic Camera
Category: Photography
If you think your phone’s camera app sucks, I would advise picking up the Blackmagic Camera app. With plenty of film camera controls, this app ensures all your videos are crisp and cinematic by look and feel. The user interface is friendly and allows you to adjust just about anything from frame rate, shutter angle, white balance, to everything in-between.
Perhaps, you should be aware that your phone’s camera might be the best but without a companion software, it will stick too decent to average photos and videos. Blackmagic Camera users processing up to 8K for crystal clear and details shots making it a must-have.
