Solve the puzzle together and your best friend on the screen of your phone. Here are the best Android apps and games of the past week.
Read on after the announcement.
1. ProtonDrive
Proton, known for its secure, privacy-conscious email software, has launched Proton Mail, a secure cloud storage app. Proton Drive will compete with, among others Google Drive in. You can use the app to store files securely, among other things. You can access these documents anytime and anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection.
Proton Drive tries to differentiate itself through its stringent security measures. For example, files are not only stored in the cloud, but also locally. If your phone is stolen, thieves simply won’t be able to open your documents. With the free package of Proton Drive, you can use a maximum of 1GB of storage space. If you want to store more files, you need a paid subscription.

2. Antioch: Vermilion Bay
We have been waiting for it for a very long time, but finally Antioch: Scarlet Bay is available for Android phones. This game is about unraveling the mystery. You can do this by cleverly looking for clues and picking up hints. The game features an atmospheric cyberpunk-like design.
What makes Antioch unique is that you play the game with another person. You can do this via online multiplayer, but also with someone on the couch. This gives a very unique and fascinating dynamic to the game, because the choices of individual players can sometimes have dramatic consequences for the story.
3. The locket
More and more people on social media are talking about Locket. This app displays a widget on the home screen of your Android smartphone that contains a live photo of your close friends. The same thing happens the other way around: Friends see your face on their home screen.
The image is updated every time you unlock your phone. This way you can see what everyone is doing throughout the day. A little locket like that be realisticthe “anti-Instagram app” that Apple recently named the App of 2022. BeReal challenges users to send each other original photos of the moment, rather than stylized ones.

4- Greg
You don’t have a green thumb, but do you love plants? Then maybe you can use Greg. Not only does this app learn about plants, but it can also tell you all about the ideal pot size and the amount of sunlight your green friend needs.
Greg’s has been completely refurbished recently. Version 2.0 contains a new “plant vision” feature. It allows you to identify plants through your smartphone camera. Once it’s clear what kind of plant you’re dealing with, the app presents you with a complete care schedule that includes tips from the experts. The app is free to try, but you have to pay for all the features.
5. The Art of Fighting 2
Old school fighting game fans rejoice. Art of Fighting 2 is a retro fighter where you compete against a computer. Both fighters have unique characteristics, pros and cons, and special moves. It’s up to you to make powerful combinations of kicks and punches (and avoid as many hits yourself as possible).
Art of Fighting 2 is an old game, but now re-released. Among other things, the makers have added new features, including the ability to make weak and stronger attacks. Finishing kicks and punches have more impact, but also make you more vulnerable to counterattacks.
