Welcome to the summary of the best new Android apps and live wallpapers that have aired on the Play Store or been viewed by us in the past two weeks or more. Today I have a fabulous winter sports tracker that has finally moved from iOS to Android, changing the brand of the DC Comic streaming app into a competent comic book subscription service and a new Japanese Twitter app that is gaining popularity as you receive updates in English. So, without further ado, here are all the new and notable Android apps launched on the Play Store in the past two weeks.

Apps
Slopes: Ski and Snowboard
Android police coverage: The Slopes app comes to Android with powerful tracking for your snowboarding and skiing adventures
Slopes is already a popular tracking app for winter sports enthusiasts on iOS, and the app has finally come to Android in the past two weeks. The app is free to use, although there are premium features. Fortunately, users can purchase a daily pass for $ 3.99 to use these features while skiing or snowboarding during the day. Of course, if you’re constantly on the slopes, you can also buy an annual pass for $ 24.99. There is even a family plan that will cost $ 39.99 a year to create.

DC UNIVERSE INFINITE
Android Police Coverage: DC Comics points to Marvel Unlimited with the launch of DC Universe Infinite
DC Universe Infinite is the branded DC Universe app. This release focuses on digital comics and therefore the DC Universe video content has been moved to HBO Max. This means that DC Universe Infinite is now a direct competitor to Marvellimited, and thanks to the fact that the books Black Label and Vertigo have just been added to the service, you can expect a giant library that also offers adult-oriented content, unlike the Marvel app. So, if you are a big fan of DC or are simply looking for a comic book subscription app that offers a giant library as well as books for mature readers, I recommend taking a look at DC Universe Infinite. A monthly subscription will cost users $ 7.99 a month, and you can also get an annual subscription for $ 74.99.

MarinDeck to TweetDeck
MarinDeck is a new Twitter app, and comes from a Japanese developer, and it looks like the app has gained popularity with an English-reading audience. This popularity has resulted in requests for English text and, therefore, the side menu has recently been updated with English support. Unfortunately, the app’s settings still need to be translated, but luckily the app is fully usable without having to dive into its settings. So, if you’re looking for a new Twitter app that offers a familiar touch to TweetDeck, try MarinDeck.

Mantis Pro Beta – Free & No-Root Gamepad KeyMapper
After all these years, Android controller support can be a success and a failure, and since Google hasn’t yet bothered to build a way to remap controllers through the operating system, people have resorted to rooting their devices to adjust your controller layouts. Well, Mantis Pro Beta is here to counter that trend with one of the first keymappers for Android that doesn’t require root access just to adjust your controller settings. Although I cannot say that this application is perfect, requiring some adjustments, what is provided is a solid effort that is better than the other non-root options currently available.

PoMelo File Explorer – File Manager & Cleaner
PoMelo File Explorer – File Manager & Cleaner at first seems a bit dubious, thanks to the inclusion of “cleaner” in the title. But don’t worry, this is not a useless phone booster app. This is a real file explorer that brings with it some interesting tools, like an automatic feature that can organize your files into collections. You can also use this app to search your device for useless files in order to clean up some space. In short, it is a file explorer for advanced users and competently delivers what it promises. Remember that this application contains ads and that there is currently no way to remove them.

DM Me
DM Me is an early access launch where users can select multiple messaging apps to customize the selection of messaging apps to use with their contacts. Since friends and family love to be tough, everyone uses different messaging apps, making communication a challenge, since your device doesn’t use the apps that each person prefers. Well, DM will allow you to choose which apps your contacts prefer on a case-by-case basis, which will allow you to send messages to your friends and family through the apps they choose to send messages to, once you’ve set up everything.

Little Nightmares Comics
Little Nightmares Comics is a promotional app for the upcoming release of Little Nightmares II for PC and consoles. This app offers six original stories that take place in the Little Nightmares universe. The comics are even animated, making it an enjoyable experience that compares to Madefire’s efforts in the realm of animated comics. Oh, and this app is completely free to use as it is basically promotional material designed to cheer people up for the release date for Little Nightmares II in February, so everyone is free to go for a ride.

Yes, Moto Interactive Wallpaper is clearly a wallpaper app, but it is listed in the linking section as it is a linked app for Motorola devices. Therefore, for those who have a current Motorola device, this wallpaper app is more than likely already installed, but now that it is listed on the Play Store, Motorola can easily send updates without having to worry about uploads. .
