Welcome to the 342nd edition of Android Apps Weekly. Here are the headlines from the last week:

Unexpected

Price: Free / Up to $3.99

Unexpected is a puzzle game that makes heavy use of interactive riddles. There are sixteen stories to play through and multiple endings and achievements to obtain. It gives the game a lot of replay value. There are some adult situations and some creepy stuff so we don’t recommend this one for kids. The art style is decent and the game’s controls are easy to learn. The game is free with advertising or you can pay to remove the ads. To be honest, the ads aren’t that bad either.

ScreenHive

Price: Free

ScreenHive is an interesting digital wellbeing app. It puts a floating window over your device with a timer. The timer goes up when you start using your phone. The premise is to show you how long you’ve on your device in real time so you can self regulate how long you spend on it. The window is small enough and didn’t interfere with use of the device. It’s also a free tool. We actually quite like the simple idea with the simple execution. There are no complicated menus or anything like that. You just get to see how long you’ve been on your phone so you can cut yourself off.

Bid Wars Stars

Price: Free to play

Bid Wars Stars is a free to play multiplayer game. You browse various lots, bid on them, and sell the contents of the lots for money. It includes mechanics to look around a storage locker to see all of the contents and some tools to guess the worth. The NPCs are dramatic and gregarious to keep the mood light and in line with the popular TV shows in this genre. The mechanics are solid. However, there are some odd restrictions that makes progress difficult at higher levels along with the usual array of new game bugs. It’s decent and should improve over time.

LitePass: to the Lite version!

Price: Free

LitePass is an app browser. It basically lists every Lite version of any given app for easy reference. You find the one you want, click it, and download it from the Google Play Store. This is actually a decent way to keep track of all the Lite versions of various apps and a good way to replace some battery munching apps with its lighter, less intensive counterpart. The app has a super basic UI, but it works as advertised.

Super Shot Golf

Price: Free to play

Super Shot Golf is the latest arcade golf game from Hothead Games. It plays a lot like those arcade golf games you may have seen in restaurants and bars when you were younger. Players determine shot strength and direction to try and get a hole in one. There are various unlockable balls and clubs for better precision and power and unlockable courses for more variety. It’s a free to play game so don’t expect too much depth, but it’s a fun time waster for golf fans.
