Top 5 Best Android Apps You Must Try in March 2025
Runna
Category: Fitness
There may be some who really want to take fitness initiatives or maybe, you are a runner who just likes to ‘run’. Well, Runna is an app for you to take your running game to the next level. It unlocks personalized plans that fit your current levels and future goals backed by AI that adapts to your progress in real-time.
Runna offers exercises for warm-ups and cool-downs that give the body enough leverage to carry on. The app is equipped with support for improving your running form, nutrition, and injury management helping you train for 5K or other marathons. It has a GPS tracker built-in that carves your route on the map, measures distances and pace giving you the stats for your run. I happen to fall in love with this AI-running coach as it helps you get started with running, a sport that literally tones your body from top to bottom.

Pixtica
Category: Camera / Photography / Editor
Who doesn’t like a good selfie or a photo that captures the memories for eternity? But what if your phone’s camera app is not that powerful or, say, suffers during difficult lighting conditions or lacks editing? Well, here’s Pixtica for you. The app lets you capture shots and use your creative brain cells to leverage its various editing options including a fish-eye lens, professional-looking filters, and animated stickers.
The app has manual controls that let you adjust pro-level settings including white balance, exposure, focus, shutter speed, ISO, and beyond. Apparently, not all your native camera apps may have the upper hand in letting you use these pro-grade features. There’s HDR, a GIF recorder, a tiny planet, slow motion, and a hyper-lapse video mode that literally refines your photography experience.
The app has a built-in scanner too allowing users to scan documents without needing a third-party app for that. There’s simply a lot you can discover with Pixtica, a free-to-use camera plus editor app with additional packed-in premium features at a cost.

Tooly
Category: Productivity / Tool Kit / Utility
Your Play Store has a tonne of apps whether you want to generate random numbers, change text cases, convert units of currencies or metrics such as kilogram to grams, and so on. However, having these apps can be too much of a hassle as you are actually thinking about installing apps for separate use cases and there are too many.
Tooly lets you be free of installing countless apps and replaces them with just one app — Tooly. It has more than 100 tools at your disposal. Whether you want to calculate something, remove something, change text cases and fonts styles, or calculate the area of a circle, or run codes, Tooly is an app that does that all. It has a color picker, a color blender, a randomizer so that you can play games and other tools that would otherwise require installing a separate app or a website.

Audiofy Media Player by Googol Apps
Category: Music/Video Player
Today’s online music player apps such as YouTube Music, Amazon Prime Music, Apple Music, Spotify, etc., are amazing. However, I personally get bored at times trying to connect to the internet every time I want to listen or watch a video. Of course, there are offline downloads supported on these apps as well, but it doesn’t mean everyone will have it, right?
Well, it’s time to go retro with offline media players. Audiofy Media Player surprisingly has a fantastic UI that makes the user experience bliss. The app supports music playback, and video playback, with intuitive controls, and easy to navigate through the interface. Audiofy Media Player follows a modern design which is what makes it a must-try. Enjoy seamless music and videos downloaded offline with this app that teases countless options and a reliable playback experience like no other.

Action Notch
Category: Utility
Do you think only iPhone users can play around with their notch? Turns out your Android phone is more powerful than you might comprehend. Action Notch is an app that transforms your existing camera hole into a shortcut button. You can perform a number of functions including toggling flashlights, turning off-screen, recording via front or rear camera, recording audio, and so on. You have to tap, double tap, swipe, or long-press to recall these functions, and bingo, Action Notch does that for you.
Other powerful capabilities including launching the camera, recent apps menu, screen rotation control, QR and barcode scanner, brightness control and many more. The only caveat is, not all these features are free of cost. You’ll have to pay to tap into many of these functions but hey, there’s a good start to it and that’s free of cost, just in case you ask.
