And now here are five Android apps you shouldn’t miss this week!

Hangouts Dialer

[Price: Free]
Clearly the first trending app this week is the Hangouts Dialer. In order to make phone calls on Google Hangouts, you’ll also need this nifty little application. It’s pretty much just a dialer app that’s connected to your Google Hangouts account. It looks nice, it’s totally free, and if you use Google Hangouts, you should have this app.

Month: The Calendar Widget

[Price: Free with in app purchases]
Next up is Month: The Calendar Widget. This application is a calendar widget and a barebones calendar app that includes an incredible 70 themes across two different widgets. They sell theme packs like SwiftKey does so it’s a system many people are familiar with. It’s a good looking widget and there are a lot of themes to match a lot of styles. It’s free to try so why not?

Angry Birds Stella

[Price: Free with in app purchases]
Angry Birds Stella was released this last week and if you’re a fan of classic Angry Birds, this is going to make you happy. It’s clearly aimed at a more feminine demographic which isn’t a bad thing all and it was actually kind of enjoyable to play but again only if you like Angry Birds. It’s free to play and that cute little pink bird is pretty awesome.

theScore Sports & Scores

[Price: Free]
theScore has updated their application for the upcoming football season. It includes new scoring play visuals, player comparison data, odds movement visualizations, and situational team splits along with some performance improvements, small tweaks, and bug fixes. If you’re looking for your next sports app to make it through the season, this is a really good one to try.

Expedia Hotels & Flights

[Price: Free]
Last up this week is the official Expedia app. It has undergone a huge UI change that puts it more in line with the Android design standard. It also includes some new features and a limited time offer that gives you $25 off your first hotel booking of $100 or more. It looks way nicer than it used to and if you’re planning a trip soon, it’s worth checking this out.
