I’ve encountered a bouquet of incredible new Android apps this year, from small utilities that bolster my productivity to genuine problem solvers that make the platform better. Not every Android app has or will survive to see the new year, though.
As 2025 draws to a swift close and I scroll through the remaining apps pinned to my drawer, I can’t help but remember those wares that once formed a core part of my Android experience and that were sunset this year. Many of these apps I’ve used religiously in the past, and I’ll certainly miss them going forward. I’ll miss these five dead Android apps in particular.
