Google Allo
[Price: Free]
Google Allo was released in September to heavily mixed reviews. On the one hand, Google Assistant is totally awesome and is capable of doing all kinds of things which you can utilize in any non-incognito chat. On the other hand, the app doesn’t offer a whole lot of functionality just yet and some are concerned with Google logging conversations in non-incognito mode chats. It is worth noting that it’s an early release and more features are definitely coming. For now, though, its a solid, if fairly basic messaging service. It’s free to use if you want to check it out for yourself.

Nick Jr
[Price: Free]
Nick Jr released their official app this month and their programming is still about as good as it gets for kids. The app contains tons of clips, shows, games, and various other content from the network. However, in order to get most of it, you will be required to login with your cable provider. It is suffering from some early release bugs which should be kept in mind, but it’ll no doubt be a solid app after a few more updates.

Paper Planes
[Price: Free]
Paper Planes is a proof-of-concept app where you build paper airplanes and throw them into the Internet. The idea is that you put your location stamp on an airplane and then throw it. Someone else finds it, puts their stamp on it, and sends it out again. You can also catch planes thrown by other people and the location stamps show you where all of these planes went. It’s not useful for anything in particular, but it’s a fun little experience and interesting to see where the planes you catch come from.
