Waymo grew out of the self-driving car project at Google X, but it's now a separate company under the Alphabet umbrella. Waymo's service still isn't available to everyone, but it's in semi-open trials in the Phoenix area. Now, those testers can get the Waymo app from the Play Store.
Read MoreXiaomi's Mint Launcher comes to the Play Store, but it's not available on any phones yet [APK Download]
Xiaomi has its own distinct style that can be a big adjustment for anyone used to a different version of Android. The company has moved closer to the Android mainstream as its international business has grown, launching phones like the Poco F1. That device sported a new launcher, and it looks like Xiaomi has decided to make it into a full-fledged app on the Play Store. The new Mint Launcher listing is up, but it won't install on any phones yet. Don't worry—we've got an APK for you.
Read MoreChainfire's new Hidey Hole app collects Galaxy S10 hole punch wallpapers from Reddit
You probably know Chainfire from his work on SuperSU, which he stepped away from last year. Chainfire's latest project isn't quite as complex, but it is pretty timely. The Galaxy S10 launch has spawned a community dedicated to making wallpapers that celebrate the hole punch display, and Chainfire's Hidey Hole app puts all those wallpapers in one place.
Read MoreGoogle and CERN partnered to create the new Big Bang AR app
No one was there to watch the Big Bang happen, but you can catch a replay of all the action with a new app from CERN and Google. The Big Bang AR app turns the world around you into nothing, which then becomes everything. And no, this has nothing to do with that silly TV show.
Read MoreSamsung releases Experience app for Galaxy S10
So, you probably don't have a Galaxy S10 yet. Maybe you're anxiously waiting for a pre-order to ship or you're on the fence about ordering Samsung's latest (very expensive) phone. In either case, you might be interested in Samsung's new Experience app for Galaxy S10. It's not the same as actually using a Galaxy S10, but it might give you the gist.
Read MoreActionDash, from the developer of Action Launcher, brings Digital Wellbeing features to any phone
Google soft-launched Digital Wellbeing with Android Pie, but it's still only available on a few phones. If you're sick of waiting, developer Chris Lacy has launched a new app that brings similar features to any Android phone. ActionDash tracks how you use your phone like Digital Wellbeing, but it includes more goodies like a dark mode, daily summaries, data backup, and more.
Read MoreHands-on: Popular to-do manager Moleskine Actions comes to Android in select countries
As long-term Android users know all too well, it's common for trendy apps to hit iOS first. We get them on Android later, sometimes with some platform-specific tweaks. After making an impression on iPhone, Molskine Actions (like the notebooks) has finally come to Android, but you can only download it in a few countries right now.
Read MoreInternet TV service Philo now has an Android TV app
Internet TV services like Sling and YouTube TV are increasingly popular alternatives to cable. They don't do a whole lot of good unless you can actually watch them on your television, though. If you've got an Android TV device, you now have one more option: Philo.

Cover promises to automatically hide NSFW content on your phone
It's possible that you have some inappropriate images on your phone, and it's also possible you will occasionally receive more of them. I'm not here to judge, but there's a new app that judges for you what is and is not NSFW. Cover automatically finds and segregates NSFW photos and videos on your device, even if you've forgotten they're saved. It can operate in the background to hide such items before they appear unexpectedly in other apps, too.
Read MoreInboxIt is a new app that replaces the departed 'Save to Inbox' feature
Inbox by Gmail is going the way of the dodo, and there's nothing we can do about it. I'm still incredibly bitter about this, but it's time to suck it up and work out how to make Gmail function in exactly the same way (or as close as possible). "Save to Inbox" was one of many handy features, but it's already been removed from the Android app and the Chrome extension has also vanished. Thankfully, InboxIt is here to reinstate it, on mobile at least.
