Top Free Android Apps of the Week June 20th

[promo title=”Angry Birds Epic”][/promo]

Another entry in Rovio’s continuing story of fighting fowls, Epic comes complete with weapons, bad guys, great hats and lots of magic. It has old timers Red, Chuck and Bomb. The scoundrels this time are the evil doers with green snout noses. You don’t want to miss this. Clearly the battle will be epic!

Weapons include swords and frying pans. But what will win the contest is the stick with the sponge on top. They get mean in this game, folks.

As always, the humor is quirky, just like the characters. It’s hard not to smile at an enraged bird with a prickly cactus hat on his head.

You have the option to upgrade this free app, with choices of characters, potions, armor and those amazing weapons. Though what could work better than a frying pan, I’m just not sure.

Since it is free, you can expect paid commercials. Parents should be aware that there are links to social media, to internet sites, ads for Rovio and its partners. And with an eye to the credit card bill, players can make in-app purchases.

This free app got a 4.6/5 star rating, with over 450,000 participating.

[promo title=”Spotify Music”][/promo]

This app lets you listen to the music you love on your mobile or tablet. If you are already familiar with Spotify, you know it has a huge choice of albums, songs and artists. This app makes it easy to put together a playlist or choose one already made by the folks at the company.

In free mode, you have access to any of their artists, songs, playlists or albums. If you go Premium, you can also play any song at any time you choose and download music if you want to enjoy it offline. This option is ad-free.

The free app got a 4.5/5 star rating, with over 330,000 participating.

Number three this week is Bubble Witch. It is made by King.com, which also created Candy Crush Saga and Farm Heroes Saga.

The game follows Stella with her cats as they drive away the evil spirits afoot in this Candyland looking realm. The goal is to burst all the bubbles you can. The more you win, the higher your level and the more free acreage you get.

You can level up by using the in-app purchasing option, getting extra moves or even lives, which sounds good. I wonder if if that is transferable to real-time?

If you are familiar with Bubble Witch I, the developer says you will notice improved game modes in this edition. The graphics are top rate. Every two weeks you can add a new level to the game, up to 60 total.

This app got 4.3/5 star rating, with over 160,000 participating.
