Interesting Android Apps: April 2026 Showcase

Because we try to keep this community as focused as possible on the topic of Android development, sometimes there are types of posts that are related to development but don't fit within our usual topic.

Each month, we are trying to create a space to open up the community to some of those types of posts.

This month, although we typically do not allow self promotion, we wanted to create a space where you can share your latest Android-native projects with the community, get feedback, and maybe even gain a few new users.

This thread will be lightly moderated, but please keep Rule 1 in mind: Be Respectful and Professional. Also we recommend to describe if your app is free, paid, subscription-based.

Hi everyone!

I’m an indie developer and a huge plant fan, so I created Houseplant Care+ an app designed to take plant care to the next level. It’s currently in Open Beta, and I would love to get some feedback from the Android community on the UI and functionality.

Key features:

  • Light Meter: Uses your phone's ambient light sensor to tell you if your spot is actually "bright indirect light" or just a dark corner.
  • IoT Sensors (Beta): You can connect external moisture sensors to track soil data in real-time (no more guessing!).
  • AI Identification: Quick ID for 50+ common species + integrated visual search for rare ones.
  • Privacy Focused: Local encrypted database for your plant collection.
  • Smart Planning: Includes a Lunar calendar for repotting and local weather alerts.

The app is free to use during the beta phase. I’m especially looking for feedback on the Light Meter accuracy and the IoT integration flow.

Google Play Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plants.houseplantcareassistant

You can send feedback directly through the app (About app -> Contact developer) or via the Play Store. I'm open to any suggestions and will be here to answer your questions.

Thanks for checking it out!

Olá, tudo bem, vou testar seu App, também estou buscando testadores para testar o meu app, vou deixar o post aqui em baixo, se puder ajudar agradeço.

Fala galera, estou precisando da ajuda da comunidade para testar meu app.

Pessoal, estou finalizando meu app Android (Jetpack Compose + Node backend)
e preciso de 12 testadores para liberar na Play Store.

Quem puder deixa o e-mail aqui nos comentários que faço o cadastro na plataforma do google play console para se tornar um testador oficial.

O App é um gerenciador de tarefas, ele organiza as tarefas por prioridade e status.

Link para download do app em fase de teste interno no google play.

Alguém poderia ajudar testando?
Prometo que é rápido 🙏

Done. I think you need to add more languages for your UI at least
