Price: Free Developer: Arijit-05 I’m constantly battling to refine and maximize my work life. In years past, I relied on a Pomodoro timer to keep my mind engaged, but I never found an app that enticed me to use it. Fomodoro is that app.Perhaps I appreciate its use of Material Design elements, making it look and feel like a part of Android. The timer itself packs in all the Pomodoro items you might need, including adjustments for setting focus and break lengths. A stats section also outlines streak lengths and other motivational productivity details. Marvel Mystic Mayhem Marvel fans, assemble! Price: Free, in-app purchases start at $0.99 Developer: Exptional Global I’m not going to pretend that Marvel Mystic Mayhem is my kind of game, but there are plenty of things I really like about this new title. For one, the cutscenes resemble comic book pages with striking visuals. There are plenty of heroes to play as (and battle against), from the Hulk to Scarlet Witch.The game is a team-based auto-battler. Each character’s list of attacks is triggered by swiping on a card. The gameplay can feel nebulous, and I never found tactics to play all that big of a role. Nevertheless, some Marvel fans and those who enjoy the game’s RPG elements will get a kick out of it. Mur Launcher This new Android launcher takes a leaf from Windows Phone’s playbook. Price: Free, in-app purchases from $0.99 Developer: Incendiary Pigs I’m a simple man: I see a promising new launcher, I include it on this list. Mur Launcher is the latest to pique my interest, and that’s all down to its unique concept.The developer is heavily inspired by Windows Phone, especially Metro UI, which really comes through in the launcher’s tile-like aesthetic. The big difference is that these tiles can include multiple elements, from live information, widgets, and simple icons.I gave it a whirl for a day, and while I do see the potential in the concept, the app isn’t quite ready for prime time. It only just rolled out its open beta, so there’s a long road still to go, and I’m eager to revisit it in a few months. Phantom Tower Why do we climb the tower? I’m not sure, but we do. Price: Free, in-app purchases start at $0.99 Developer: Horien Studio Phantom Tower is a rather cute but frantic roguelike that sees the protagonist slowly ascending a 100-floor tower by defeating waves of enemies. The game includes RPG elements, so expect resource collection, gear mods to boost base stats, and various power-ups called glyphs.As you can probably imagine (and see for yourself with the trailer above), gameplay is fast-paced, but attacks feel weighty, and enemies can be genuinely terrifying when they swarm you.It’s certainly a fun game to pass the time, and thanks to its relatively low asking price, it’s not too demanding on the wallet, either. SEGA’s Classic free titles They’re SEGA classics. They’re free. What more do you want? Price: Free Developer: SEGA Nick Fernandez / Android AuthorityThis month’s last title isn’t a new Android game nor a single title. However, it’s something that you’ll want to grab for your phone before it’s too late. A list of nine retro SEGA titles is currently free to download, and probably won’t be available on the Play Store for much longer. They’re being discontinued in the coming weeks.I’ve snagged and tucked them safely in my Play Store library.

With visually striking cutscenes reminiscent of comic book art, players can choose from a roster of iconic heroes, including the Hulk and Scarlet Witch. This team-based auto-battler allows players to trigger attacks through card swipes, although the gameplay may require some adaptation for those accustomed to more tactical approaches. Nevertheless, it’s a delightful addition for fans of the franchise. Mur Launcher This new Android launcher takes a leaf from Windows Phone’s playbook.

What is your favorite new Android app or game this month?8 votesFomodoro50%Marvel Mystic Mayhem0%Mur Launcher25%Phantom Tower13%One of SEGA's retro titles13%Another app or game (mention them in the comments section).0%Fomodoro A clean, Material-inspired interval timer to bolster your productivity. Price: Free Developer: Arijit-05 I’m constantly battling to refine and maximize my work life. In years past, I relied on a Pomodoro timer to keep my mind engaged, but I never found an app that enticed me to use it. Fomodoro is that app.Perhaps I appreciate its use of Material Design elements, making it look and feel like a part of Android. The timer itself packs in all the Pomodoro items you might need, including adjustments for setting focus and break lengths. A stats section also outlines streak lengths and other motivational productivity details. Marvel Mystic Mayhem Marvel fans, assemble! Price: Free, in-app purchases start at $0.99 Developer: Exptional Global I’m not going to pretend that Marvel Mystic Mayhem is my kind of game, but there are plenty of things I really like about this new title. For one, the cutscenes resemble comic book pages with striking visuals. There are plenty of heroes to play as (and battle against), from the Hulk to Scarlet Witch.The game is a team-based auto-battler. Each character’s list of attacks is triggered by swiping on a card. The gameplay can feel nebulous, and I never found tactics to play all that big of a role. Nevertheless, some Marvel fans and those who enjoy the game’s RPG elements will get a kick out of it. Mur Launcher This new Android launcher takes a leaf from Windows Phone’s playbook. Price: Free, in-app purchases from $0.99 Developer: Incendiary Pigs I’m a simple man: I see a promising new launcher, I include it on this list. Mur Launcher is the latest to pique my interest, and that’s all down to its unique concept.The developer is heavily inspired by Windows Phone, especially Metro UI, which really comes through in the launcher’s tile-like aesthetic. The big difference is that these tiles can include multiple elements, from live information, widgets, and simple icons.I gave it a whirl for a day, and while I do see the potential in the concept, the app isn’t quite ready for prime time. It only just rolled out its open beta, so there’s a long road still to go, and I’m eager to revisit it in a few months. Phantom Tower Why do we climb the tower? I’m not sure, but we do. Price: Free, in-app purchases start at $0.99 Developer: Horien Studio Phantom Tower is a rather cute but frantic roguelike that sees the protagonist slowly ascending a 100-floor tower by defeating waves of enemies. The game includes RPG elements, so expect resource collection, gear mods to boost base stats, and various power-ups called glyphs.As you can probably imagine (and see for yourself with the trailer above), gameplay is fast-paced, but attacks feel weighty, and enemies can be genuinely terrifying when they swarm you.It’s certainly a fun game to pass the time, and thanks to its relatively low asking price, it’s not too demanding on the wallet, either.

The end of support for Windows 10 is set for October 14, 2025, after which users will not receive security updates, bug fixes, or technical support, exposing them to cyber threats. Many legacy PCs do not meet the system requirements for Windows 11, leading to potential compatibility issues and performance problems if upgraded. Investing in a new Windows 11-compatible PC ensures better performance, energy efficiency, and long-term support, with built-in security features like TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot. Transitioning to Windows 11 offers advantages such as an improved user interface, integrated AI tools, enhanced default apps, personalizable workspaces, and better visuals. Continuing to use an unsupported Windows platform after 2025 can result in compliance issues, data loss, and increased maintenance costs. Replacing hardware rather than upgrading can mitigate these risks and ensure access to ongoing security features.
