With the influx of apps on the Google Play Store, discovering the best Android apps has increasingly become difficult. Of course, you will still find the obvious set of apps you must have but what about the rest of the millions of apps that are listed on the Play Store?
Indeed, this marketplace is a den of countless useful and productive apps lying around left almost undiscovered or underrated because they had inadequate marketing or the app didn’t catch much traction. That’s why we at True-Tech find out such hidden gems a few (or five) at a time so that you can try them and who knows they’ll become a part of your daily lives.
Top 5 Best Android Apps To Try In October 2024
Extinguish
There are times when you want to turn off the screen as you listen to music, or keep a game on auto mode, or just don’t want to interact with your phone without turning off the display for real. Extinguish is an app for you. The app uses a hidden Android function to turn off your LCD or OLED display and not just add a black overlay on top.
What this does is, your phone’s display appears pitch black akin to it’s turned off. It will still play or display content on the screen (that you can’t see, of course). The video playback in the background, the audio, the game, and almost everything remains active on the screen. To bring the screen back to life, tap the volume button, and bingo, the display is back online.

Battery Guru
Do you know your phone’s battery starts to deplete as the number of charge life cycles increases? No wonder iPhone users are always complaining about their phone’s battery depleting every few weeks. Since Android smartphones don’t have that functionality, we assume our phone’s battery will charge till 100% which is never the case.
Battery Guru is an all-comprehensive in-depth battery usage app that talks about real-time power usage, battery wear, charge efficiency, and other metrics. It shows you the amount of battery that an app uses while in the foreground or background. It gives inputs on your current battery health that tell you how much your battery can charge compared to the capacity it had when you bought the phone. The app gives you inputs on charging time and speeds should you be testing different charging setups and more.

AInput
How many times has it happened that you got a message, but you don’t know how to respond? ChatGPT made it quite easy to get the responses done but is it the only app that can do that? AInput, as the name suggests, is an AI app that sends you smart reply suggestions that can be friendly, professional, casual, charming, angry, flirty, and so many other things. It is nice to have such a companion at your disposal who can assist you with replies when you are stuck on a message.
AInput is privacy-first which means your responses remain private, it is encrypted, processed anonymously and so much more. You can change its voice to get custom prompts accordingly. It integrates itself with your favorite apps just like that. It is more than just a chatbot it can save you from the hassles of thinking of a response when ‘your brain is not braining’, gotcha!

MyNetDiary
We never keep track of what goes in our mouth, but that’s certainly a bad practice if you tend to overeat or eat without thinking about portions at all. After all, ‘Health is Wealth’ and that is true but many of us only realize it when our health starts to deteriorate or steer away.
MyNetDiary is an app that lets you count the calories of every morsel that goes in your mouth. It has a barcode scanner that lets you know exactly what you are about to eat. It motivates you to enter a state of healthy eating which is neither over nor under-eating but rather eating the right amount of food at the right time. Also, it has a database of 1.6 million items (and counting) so it pretty much has every detail on calories, vitamins, macros, and other minerals that you would be eating at any given point in time.
Subscribe to its premium plan, and you get access to weight loss plans, meal planning, exercise planning, food logging, and beyond. There’s more to it so give it a try.

DisMail
You can’t use your primary email address for every website or app you visit (and you shouldn’t use it anyway). DisMail solves this problem using temporary email addresses. It creates them with speed, convenience, and security in mind giving you access to a list of disposal email addresses that you can use anywhere. It tends to declutter your primary inbox since you no longer get those awful spammy emails from random Tom, Dick, and Harry websites where you might have registered some time.
DisMail has a temporary inbox so that you can receive emails at that disposal address for a short while. Moreover, everything is super secure and safe allowing users to trust DisMail freely. You can use DisMail on any browser, mobile device, app, or website hassle-free. Call that something unique and I wouldn’t deny it.
