Another week has flown by. Fans of dr. Who will be happy to know that there is a new Dr. Who game is available, if you can live with the ads and in-app purchase options. There’s nothing like the nostalgia factor in seeing a new generation of Dr. Who fans to fuel. No matter what plans you have for the weekend, we hope these apps can enrich your smartphone use. Join us as we explore the best Android and iOS apps to try installing this week!
Please note that this article differs from our “Free Apps of the Week” edition, which is published twice a week. In fact, we are more involved in this compilation because we do not only read about these apps, but also take a thorough look at them by downloading and installing them individually. Each app is scrutinized to ensure there are no unnecessary in-app purchases or sneaky data collection practices that compromise our privacy.
This article is published weekly, so you can always check out our previous “Top 5 Apps” stories to see if you missed out. This week we’ve added a touching game set in a devastated world that you don’t want to miss. Without further ado, here are our top picks for the week!

Memix (Android and iOS)

Temporary (Android)
While some of us indulge in journaling as a place to drop our thoughts, here’s an app that makes the process much more cerebral and mindful. In fact, Temporary even made me feel better after I was done with it. After all, this app is all about expressing gratitude, letting go of worries and doing enough self-reflection on a daily basis.
The soothing animated background in this app gently ebbs away as you type your thoughts, and you can even add emojis for a fun touch. Try writing down at least three things you are grateful for on a daily or weekly basis to encourage positivity. This streamlined journaling experience doesn’t overwhelm you with questions, making it easy to unload your worries. Without cloud storage, your entries remain private on your device. Do you want to release stress? Set a ‘worry time’ to postpone worrying until a certain time of day!

Kiwi – Music with Friends (Android & iOS)
You know that you have the best taste in music in your entire social group, although there is no unanimous decision on that conclusion. Why not prove it to them using this app known as Kiwi? This is an app that lets you share whatever you listen to on Spotify or any compatible music streaming app with your friends.
Get ready for a nice surprise every day when a notification pops up asking you to share your most recently played songs with your friends. Keep up to date with each other’s current earworms and exchange thoughts about your musical tastes. Rate their tunes and let them rate yours! In addition, all songs shared by your friends conveniently appear in a widget on your device.

Dr Who: Lost In Time (Android and iOS)
Fans of the affable character, Dr Who, will find Dr Who: Lost in Time well worth checking out. This is an idle game showcasing characters from the hit TV show where you need to collect resources so that you can use them to upgrade things in various iconic locations that fans will be familiar with.
Basically, time travel is involved in this game as you intend to save the timeline of events. What’s new? That seems to be the bread and butter for Dr Who anyway. You go back in time by reliving stories from the past, and the nostalgia is strong in this one. Don’t expect to see anything groundbreaking in this game, but it’s a nice walk down memory lane.
It’s always nice to have Kerblam boxes sent to you after completing a task where you can then enjoy your rewards. Also, be prepared to strap yourself in and jump into the TARDIS at any time so you can quickly travel to the next adventure!
