Chef ChopChop
Price: free
Download for iOS
Cooking may not be an extremely difficult task in and of itself, but once you try to prepare more than one meal for dinner, things get a bit dodgy. It takes some planning, experience, and around a dozen of mess-ups to get your timing right and not destroy one of the meals while focusing on the other. Chef ChopChop is a cooking app, filled with various recipes. What sets it apart is that once you pick the food you want to cook, the app will analyze all the preparation steps and activate smart alert intervals, guiding you through the process of cooking all courses at the same time, without burning the main dish.
New for Android
Habitica
Price: free
Download for Android
Habitica will help you stay on track with your daily tasks, goals, and resolutions by turning your daily routine into an RPG game. You build your character and punch in the tasks from your to-do list. From then on, these tasks become your “quests” and whenever you mark them as accomplished, your hero gains levels. The app also has a social element to it, allowing you to “slay monsters” together with your friends, adding that layer of social accountability for the habits that really require that extra bit of willpower. Worth a try!
FilmoraGo
Price: free
Download for Android
FilmoraGo is a video editor, which supports video and photo stitching, effects, transitions, one-tap templates, and so on. A pretty powerful free app, which will not stamp a watermark or place a time limit on your clip. We’d say it's a must-have.
BandLab
Price: free
Download for Android
BandLab is a platform built for collaborating musicians. It lets all participants edit a project and upload their ideas to the cloud, but doesn't delete any old content, so that changes can be reverted and compared at any time. It also keeps a comprehensive tree of edits, so you don't get lost among the different project variants.
