Some apps listed in this article are free, some may be payed apps, and other could have in-app purchases. We will specify whether you have to pay anything for each app, but you should also check yourself when installing it from Play Store.

As you may know from our previous Best Android Apps of the Week posts, we will also include Play Store download links for each app. Anyway, if you think of any app that we should have included in our list feel free to let us know in comments.

Microsoft Remote Desktop – Free

Microsoft has over 30 Android apps available for download in Google Play Store and Microsoft Remote Desktop is one of them. The company’s Remote Desktop Protocol client has received an important update last week.

Microsoft Remote Desktop has received official support for KitKat’s full-screen immersive mode, which makes a lot of sense given we’re looking at a remote computer viewer. Anyway, the new feature is only available for tablets and, of course, you will need to run KitKat 4.4+ to be able to enjoy it.

You will be able to download Microsoft Remote Desktop from Google Play Store at this link. It’s a free app and offers no in-app purchases.

Vine 2.5 – Free

Vine is, no doubt, one of the most popular video sharing tools in the world. Last week, the Android app was updated to version 2.5.

Vine 2.5 introduces new camera tools that bring new ways to edit your videos along with the ability to preview videos of any length, upload a single video or mix and match to tell a story, or to undo the last recording. It also adds a new button that enables you to access your camera roll and Flashlight support for recording videos in low light.

Vine is a free app. You can download it from Google Play Store here.

Javelin Browser 4.1.3 – Free

There are a lot of web browsers available in Play Store and if, for some reason you don’t like Chrome, you should also check Javelin Browser. Now you will have one more reason to do it after the new update.
