The Magnificent Five, March 2015

Personal top 5 apps for the past month: a win-win time killer, a new version of the famous client Twitter, a utility for obtaining battery data, a music service client for fans of electronic dance music and a 'photo enhancer'.

The set of applications in our smartphones and tablets is constantly changing, new ones are found, old ones are deleted, forming a kind of 'backbone' of proven and pleasant products. In this brief overview – five applications, so far permanently entrenched in my smartphone.

Crossy road
(Yodo1 Games)

A versatile and simple arcade game for any setting, exploding the lists of popular applications in the Google Play and App Store catalogs. The player's task is to guide his character across the playing field as far as possible, clicking on the screen every time, you need to jump and make a swipe in the right direction for a side jump. It is seriously addictive, being a great way to pass the time.

Minecraft-style graphics, many characters, unobtrusive soundtrack, additional periodic game mini-bonuses, integration with Google Play Games – everything in the game is correct and entertaining.

Cost: Free (in-game purchases)
Requirements: version Android 2.3+

Falcon Pro 3
(Joaquim Verges)

A reimagined version of a popular third-party client for the service Twitter from a material design perspective The developer did not achieve stable operation of the application immediately, but now we can confidently call Falcon Pro 3 one of the most interesting and visually pleasing Twitter clients.

The principle of operation of Falcon Pro 3 is based on dividing the workspace into columns, be it tweets, favorites, mentions, lists, etc. It works clearly and smoothly, adjusting notifications to the nature of the user's activity in the service.

The program, unfortunately, is not distributed free of charge: for the right to connect your account to the client, you will have to part with an amount of about 230 rubles. the current course. Before that, an opportunity is given to evaluate the work of the program. By the way, I have never regretted the purchase.

Beatport
(Beatport | An SFX Entertainment company)

The official client of an online music service focused mostly on EDM. Free listening to songs online, nice design, absence of any fees and advertising are solid advantages for fans of electronic dance music.

The ideal client would be to have podcasts, but unfortunately there is no such functionality in the application.

Cost: Free
Requirements: version Android 4.0+

GSam Battery Monitor
(GSam Labs)

After the official update to Lollipop, I got the idea to monitor the power consumption. The nice utility GSam helped with this. Nothing superfluous (except for advertising in the free version of the application), just the necessary information about the nature of the battery consumption and its temperature.

Advise fans of custom ROMs and those who need to find the reasons for the rapidly decreasing percentage of battery power.

Cost: Free (in-app purchases)
The required version Android depends on the application

Repix
(Sumoing)

Rounding out today's collection is Repix, a tool for quick photo editing. Filters, effects, frames – all with one touch, fast and convenient.

Strangely, the version of the program on Google Play is incompatible with my smartphone, although the version with Amazon works and there are no problems. For you Instagrammers.
