5 Best New Android Apps for 2016
1. Pokemon Go
“Remember to be alert at all times. Stay aware of your surroundings.” This is the intro message for Pokémon Go. It’s not a message to your in-game character, and it’s not a piece of lore: this is a genuine warning for you , the player. Why is it necessary? Because Pokémon Go takes you outside and into an undiscovered world full of wonder. Pokémon Go is alive.
Pokémon Go… is dangerous.
In this, already immensely popular Android title, you play as a Pokémon trainer who must travel around a map nabbing critters and battling other trainers. Instead of taking place purely in the digital Pokémon universe, Pokémon Go happens in our world.
By combining GPS and augmented reality elements, Pokémon Go plants Pokémon in real locations: and it’s up to you to get out there and “catch ‘em all”.
This is one of the first major Android titles which really takes advantage of the unique facets of smartphones as a medium. Disappointingly few games have managed to capitalize on the technology available, but Pokémon Go is a brave and successful leap in the right direction. And it looks like it’s going to be a formidable force in gaming.

3.PicPic
PicPic is a gif community app where you can find and download user-submitted gifs from all over the place. That experience also includes a search feature so you can find the kind of stuff you’re looking for. On top of that, there is a built-in gif camera that allows you to quickly prepare your own gifs. There is a basic editor included that isn’t overly feature rich but it does get the job for those quick jobs. It’s a good mixture of community efforts and gif creation, but those requiring more features may have to look elsewhere.
