The front page of the Play Store is home to many great apps, but in realistic terms, there are a few types of apps that you can always expect to see. Mobile games dominate much of the real estate, and there will inevitably be some health and productivity apps dotted around as well. You may even see educational apps along the lines of Duolingo depending on the day.
While other kinds of apps will occasionally break through onto the recommended listings, there are a large number of great apps with more niche functions like what we have at Android Headlines. Below are some of the most interesting categories of apps that a casual Play Store browser would be really missing out on.Gardening Apps
Have you ever wanted to try your hand at gardening but just had no way to start or keep track of things? Thankfully, there are plenty of amazing apps linked to gardening available, whether you’re a complete beginner with a single cactus or an experienced gardener tending dozens of plants at once.
One of the most comprehensive options out there has to be the iNaturalist app, which takes the major project from the website to your phone. You can share photos and notes with fellow gardeners, track and manage your plants’ growing cycles and even access an entire plant encyclopaedia with entries on virtually every plant around the world.
We would also recommend Leafsnap if you’re just starting out, an app that can help you distinguish the plants you have in your garden and let you know if any are weeds that should be removed.
