5 Android apps you shouldn’t miss this week! - Android Apps Weekly [306]
July 04, 2025
Overdrive City
Price:Free with in-app purchases
Overdrive City is actually a city-building simulator with a focus on cars. You create a town, manufacture a bunch of vehicles, and compete in a career mode to create a massive motorsport franchise. The game includes cars from actual manufacturers, various customizations and performance tweaks, and there is a race mechanic. It’s a bit reminiscent of Kairosoft’s Grand Prix Story but with better graphics and real cars. The game has some bugs, but nothing that shouldn’t get fixed in a few updates.
QuakeAlertUSA
Price:Free
QuakeAlertUSA actually launched a few weeks ago. However, we wanted to give the app time to get a few updates in before we wrote about it. The app is simple in practice. It alerts you when earthquakes happen at your location. It can also warn people up to a minute before any actual vibration is felt depending on the location and depth of the quake. The data comes from the USGS and ShakeAlert so it’s fairly reliable. The app is free and had some bugs when it first launched. However, it seems recent updates took care of most of them.
Kick-Flight
Price:Free to play
Kick-Flight is a different kind of arcade style game. Players fly round maps and beat up on opponents. Games are all online and against real players. You face up in four versus four matches that take about three minutes a piece. The game is region locked so matchmaking times can be a bit long. Additionally, there is no way to communicate with teammates so it adds a bit of frustration there as well. It is otherwise one of the more unique and fun games we’ve seen this year.
Pokemon Home
Price:Free / $2.99 per month / $15.99 per year
Nintendo finally launched its Pokemon Home platform last week. The app is basically a cloud storage service for your Pokemon. You can upload Pokemon from core series Pokemon games to Home and then download them again in other Pokemon games, including Sword and Shield. Additionally, there is a trading mechanic in case you need to fill some gaps in your collection as well as a Mystery Gifts system. The app goes for $15.99 per year or $2.99 per month.
Summer Catchers
Price:$3.99
Summer Catchers is a new game from Noodlecake Studios. It’s a retro style side scrolling platformer. The graphics are surprisingly nice and colorful for how old school it looks and the game play is devilishly smooth. There are a variety of levels to play through and the mechanics also include rhythm and puzzle elements along with its side scrolling and platformer elements.
