what's going on guys the Traverse consumer and today we've got a list of some of the best Android apps available provided by you guys I went over on Twitter and asked a couple of you for your opinions on some of the best Android apps that you've been using and we made a little list I picked out which ones I thought were really really cool well first off huge shout out to all of you guys who left your recommendations I had a lot to sort through but I think we came up with a pretty good list and first up I want to shout out blue collar for sponsoring today's video and wait for it throwing in a giveaway of a brand new Google pixel so dual collar is an awesome app that scans incoming calls automatically identifying where the call is coming from and if it's spam it'll let you know and they can do this pretty easily because they're drawing from a database of over a billion phone numbers and if you don't ever want another spam or scamming phone call again this app is everything it'll even let you create custom black lists that will block all potential telemarketers and those super annoying spam calls and you can customize it yourself to add some choice people you don't ever want to hear from again like exes that dude that keeps asking you for money or even those bill collectors now there's some fun features here like phone call recording a secret contact list a hide phone calls and even I'll call history scanner that allows you to see the name of missed calls you might not recognize and being able to dodge scanners is some pretty nice protection now you're probably wondering how to enter into the giveaway and all you have to do is check the link down below in the description to download blue collar and then leave a comment down below on this video letting us know what your favorite feature is this is a US and Canada giveaway and in about one week Ducasse going to be picking a winner so be sure to enter the contest you got a chance at a free pixel so why not next up we've got backdrops at first I wasn't too interested in this app because I thought it was just another wallpaper app but it's actually really good if you into the clean look of material design you'll be able to find a ton of wallpapers here that mailto look when you find one you like you can either save it favourite it or go straight to setting it as your wallpaper all within the app the only thing here is a video ad might pop up when you click the wallpaper you like but you can skip it and is small price to pay for a beautiful free wallpaper now cool thing about this app is that the wallpapers are pretty exclusive because they're made by the developers so you really won't be able to find these anywhere else third on this list is Nova Launcher which is a very popular app that I honestly never really tried out until this video but I can absolutely see why I get so much love for those of you who don't know the ins and outs of your Android phone you can actually switch up the main home screen of your phone with different launchers like this one each launcher has special looks or features that your phone didn't initially come with that gives you a new way to switch up and interact with your phone now what's special about Nova Launcher is its clean look and tons of customization options you can change things like the grid size of your screen so you can make the perfect layout with your apps and widgets and you can do a ton more like change the look of your app dock your folders the overall look and feel of the app and a bunch more I actually threw this on my LG g6 and replace the skin home screen it came with and honestly I don't think I'll ever go back is that much cleaner and if you really dig it there's a paid version that comes with even more features so if you haven't tried this one out yet it's definitely worth looking into next up we have alarm you and this one's perfect for those of us who set alarms and end up dismissing them and going back to sleep anyway now you can't just mindlessly do that here because you have to go through various steps to actually turn off the alarm depending on how you set it there's the picture mode where you have to take a picture of the exact same thing you set the alarm with and when I say exact I mean exact same angles same everything shake mode requires less effort in terms of getting out of bed but the varying shake difficulties should make it a bit harder when setting the alarm you can choose a difficulty and the number of shakes which goes from anywhere between 5 and 995 or if you really want to challenge yourself you can put it into map mode here you how to solve a number of math problems before the alarm shuts off and you can choose the difficulty and the number of math problems you can even choose to correctly solve 99 multi-step math problems to make the alarm go off I have no idea why you do that the last mode is the barcode or QR scanner mode where you can preset a barcode and scan the same one before you can turn it off this was definitely a fun one to test out so shout out to all of you who recommended it I could definitely use it but that about wraps it up for this video guys hopefully you enjoyed it again huge shout out to everyone who left their suggestions I'll probably have more videos like this in the future so keep your eyes peeled for that if you enjoyed it be the cool guy or girl that gives this video a thumbs up and I'll catch you in the next one till then it's your average consumer a
