New Android Apps and Games in September 2025: My Top Picks

09/01/2025 Apps & Games

It can be tough keeping up with all the new apps and games hitting the Google Play Store. So, I've compiled a list of interesting finds from September 2025 that caught my eye.

First up is Quasar, and what I really appreciate about this app is its focus. It's all about space news, giving you updates on upcoming missions, an AI to answer your burning questions about the cosmos, and even access to NASA's awesome Picture of the Day. Sure, the Space Wiki feature could use some work—I couldn't find info on basic stuff like Mars. However, for space enthusiasts or anyone who wants to learn more about what's out there, it's a solid choice.

For those who enjoy a good puzzle, Machinarium is a puzzle platformer with a charming world of robots. Even though it's not a brand-new game, it's free on the Epic Games Store, and I think it's worth checking out. You play as a robot trying to rescue his girlfriend.

If you're into movies and TV shows, Cinematique seems like a great app. It's basically a database where you can track what you're watching, what you want to watch, and what you should probably watch. It's got news, a personal tracking system, a good exploration feature for finding new content, and even AI recommendations. I haven't had a lot of time with it yet, but it's showing promise.

If you're rocking a Pixel 10, you already know about Google Journal. But here's a neat trick: you can get it on other Android phones too. The process is a little complicated, but if you're into journaling, I think it's worth the effort. Even if you don't have a Pixel 10, you still get some helpful writing suggestions. I tried it on my Galaxy S24 FE, and it works surprisingly well.

Lastly, Chants of Sennaar is an adventure puzzle game set in a cool world based on the Tower of Babel story. You play as a traveler trying to unite different factions who don't understand each other. The puzzles revolve around learning the languages and writings of the game's world. It's free to play, but you'll need to pay to unlock the full game.
