In the list of the best applications, there was a place not only for long-familiar and favorite programs, but also for several daring beginners.

Telegram

Telegram has remained the most intensively developing project this year as well. The developers are working hard on it, rolling out one important update after another.

First, themes appeared in the program, then the ability to send small videos and delete sent messages was added. But the biggest innovation this year is voice calls.

Meitu

Chinese developers' Meitu app went viral earlier this year. Everyone who likes to experiment with photographs has liked it. Just one click is able to change the person in the picture beyond recognition: to enlarge the eyes, reduce the waist and turn into an anime character.

Lost FM

There are thousands of different radio stations on the Internet that broadcast good music around the clock. However, most of them require the purchase of a paid account or limit the quality of the stream.

The small Lost FM program solves these problems. With its help, you can listen to music of excellent quality (up to 320 kbps) completely free of charge and without any ads.

Evie launcher

There are dozens of different launchers for the Android operating system for every color and taste. However, the Evie Launcher developers have managed to stand out even in this competitive environment. Their product became popular due to the successful combination of speed, functionality and great looks.

If you are tired of your launcher, then try Evie Launcher. You may not want to go back to the old.

FaceApp

FaceApp is a curious utility for Android that performs spectacular manipulations with portraits of people. With its help, you can easily turn a bore into a merry fellow, a young man into an old man, and a man into a woman. Or vice versa.

Alice

The voice assistant is based on a neural network trained on a huge array of texts. She knows fairy tales, stories and anecdotes, but is also capable of improvising.

The task of "Alice" is to help the user in solving everyday tasks. She will tell you the weather, where to eat, which store to go to, can search for any information on the Internet and run applications at your request.

Gboard

This year, Gboard has become a stock keyboard for the Android operating system. The program has acquired many useful functions, including built-in search, handwriting input of emoticons, a translator from foreign languages.

Painnt

After the wild success of Prisma, several similar applications for artistic image processing appeared on Google Play. Among them we liked Painnt the most.

The main advantage of this program is a large number of high-quality filters. There are now 256 different effects that are categorized. Most of them are available for free use.

Run. Start running

If your physical form is far from ideal, then it is very difficult to start running right away. Application Running. Start running”is intended for such people. It offers workout programs that allow you to start from scratch and gradually work your way up to one hour of continuous running.

Teleport

The Teleport app has three main AI-powered features: hair recolor, background change and background blur. For hair, you can choose one of 20 colors. There are standard ones like blond and ginger, but you can also choose something unusual, such as ginger or green.

小米 计算器

The application with such a mysterious name is a calculator from the Xiaomi operating system. The program has gained great popularity due to its wide capabilities.

In Xiaomi's Calculator, you can convert various quantities such as currencies, temperatures and lengths, calculate mortgage payments and solve logarithms.
