Background: Top 10 Free Apps for Android and iOS, updated for today.
We begin the new week with a carefully chosen mix of free apps from Google Play and the App Store. The list includes tools to chat with favorite characters, turn a smartphone into a scanner, visualize the music being played, locate lost headphones, and even bring a personal AI assistant to an iPhone.
Android
Traditionally, the selection opens with Google Play picks. This week the catalog features a chat with favorite characters, a real 3D scanner you can use with your phone, a capable study helper, a stylish launcher, a music visualizer, song recognition, a video editor, an object-removal tool for photos, and a collection of vivid 3D wallpapers.

The future is here. This app lets users chat with characters from anime, video games, history, or imagined worlds. The AI-powered chatbot offers many conversation partners, and if none of the ready-made options suits the mood, users can customize their own. It feels like a modern upgrade to a classic chat experience with a playful twist.
