Top 5 apps that are totally worth downloading this week
Read in other languages:
The Google Play Store is full of apps of all kinds, it is sometimes difficult to find some that are really worthwhile though. Our community and our editors are proud to offer you our selection of the best this week, in the hope that you will find rare gems or at least apps that may interest you.
Aso
Currently available in early access, Aso is a new Android app that allows you to create animations, share them with the community and remix those of users. The application is very easy to use and offers many features. Its developer even offers a dark mode and it does not require any unnecessary authorization (only access to the storage of your phone, to export animations, is required). Some other good points, the app is free and does not display (for the moment) any advertising.

- Business model: free

Idle Food Truck Tycoon
If you have always dreamed of opening your own Food Truck but have never dared to do so, Idle Food Truck Tycoon will satisfy you. In this new game, you must build your own Food Truck empire from scratch. Of course, the objective is to offer as many different cuisines as possible and then challenge your opponents in culinary tournaments. The game is quite fun and it is even possible to play without the damn micro-payments forcing your to pay to progress in the game.

Gears POP!
Gears POP! is the result of the merger between Gears of War and Funko Pop! The result: a game similar to Clash Royale with explosive multiplayer battles in the Gears universe. You must, of course, create your team and train them for victory. If you are a fan of Gears of War, go for it, but know that even if it is easy to progress at first, the task gets a little more complicated later on and everything is (unfortunately) comes down getting out your credit card.

Night Vision/ToF Viewer
Night Vision/ToF Viewer is a free app that uses the ToF (Time of Flight) sensor on your smartphone. This allows you to view the information read by this sensor, including depth. The result is very interesting and gives you an idea of the capabilities of ToF sensors that are increasingly appearing on modern high-end smartphones. Unfortunately, this application is only available on some smartphones i.e. ones that have a ToF sensor in them (Huawei Mate 20 Pro, P30 Pro, Honor View20, Samsung Galaxy A80...).

- App size: 0.9 MB
- Device compatibility: on smartphones with a ToF sensor
- Business model: free of charge

Have you seen any other cool new applications this week?
I use Tunity to hear the NFL games at the bar even if the TVs are muted. Free, and works really well (at the gym and airport too!)
Aso seems promising and with some creative potential
Agree, and that's the only app this week that I have any interest in as I'm not into games and my current phone does not have a tof sensor.
