We all have a certain number of apps that cannot be missing from our mobile phone. Those that go through our heads as soon as we open the box when we get a new smartphone. Among them we could venture to say that WhatsApp, Telegram, Gmail, Instagram or TikTok are surely not lacking. However, today we want to discover those not-so-known Android apps that you should give a try.
Google Play Store has a wide catalog of apps. It is impossible to know them all, and in most cases, we limit ourselves to using the most popular ones, leaving aside the lesser known ones. Added to this is that the top apps on Google Play show few surprises and the recommendations are based on apps that we have already installed at some point. For this reason, today we collect the best applications that you may not know and you should try.
RainAlarm
One of the things we do before going to bed or in the morning as soon as we get up is check the weather. Also, this interest intensifies if the weekend is near and we have outdoor plans. As a general rule, weather apps often fail and what was going to be a sunny day one day turns into a rainy forecast overnight.
To avoid these surprises, one of the most useful apps to know if it’s going to rain or not is RainAlarm. It has a map in real time with the expected rainfall in our area of residence, which considerably reduces the margin of error. Either it rains or it doesn’t. The app supports a configuration in which you can indicate the radius of kilometers so that you receive warnings and know if it is raining or if it is forecast to do so in the next few hours.

Park4Night
The most experienced in traveling with a camper or motorhome may already know it, but if you have just started traveling in this way, it cannot be missing from your Park4Night apps. With the arrival of the pandemic, it is a reality that the desire and interest in traveling by camper or motorhome has increased in the search for safer and more familiar trips. Last year there were 13% more new buyers and rentals on the main camper, caravan and motorhome platforms increased by 42% between June and August 2021 compared to the previous year.
For all those who have ever considered a roadtrip with friends or family, this app is a must. At Park4Night you will find the best places and areas to spend the night if you travel by camper van. Hidden places, close to nature or with stunning sunrise views. It is the users themselves who upload these legal sites and accompany them with a description and photos that are of vital help if you are on the road and have not decided where to spend the night.
cappuccino
If we put in a shaker and mix messaging apps with podcast apps, Cappuccino emerges. A very fun tool that allows you to share audio notes with friends and family where the recipients can listen to the audio notes in the form of a podcast.
A pleasant and easy-to-use interface with which to share how your day went, a joke or a reflection. In Cappuccino voice notes are known as “beans” and listening to a cappuccino would be like a mix of the “beans” that your friends have sent. That is in English, although due to constant requests from users it is very likely that it will soon be available in Spanish.
