Like every week, the writing of Clubic presents his five favorite applications.
Correct the assignment of the keys of a controller to play it on Android, consult the weather forecast, scan documents and export them to an editable PDF with your phone, record your best performances on ski descents and relax on a game at the end of day. These are the topics covered in this selection of applications.
Octopus Keymapper
Octopus Keymapper is an application specially created for lovers of video games on Android. Not all controllers are natively compatible with smartphones and are pre-mapped to match the keys. Octopus Keymapper intervenes in this sense and gives users the possibility of carrying out their own mapping according to their preferences and the controller they have. Similarly, using this application allows you to play games on Android that are not intended to be played with an external controller.

Adobe Scan is the ideal solution for carrying your scanner everywhere with you. As its name suggests, this application turns the smartphone camera into a portable scanner. From a simple photo of a document, the application takes care of automatically cropping and straightening the document as well as optimizing the colors to maximize its readability. Note that Adobe Scan allows you to export in different formats including editable PDF. The utility integrates character recognition technology (OCR) and thus converts the content of photographed documents into digital characters. This functionality can be performed in the Adobe Cloud as well as locally, directly on the smartphone.

As the name suggests, Ski Tracks is an app for all skiers (and snowboarders). The app performs real-time analysis of elevation, distance traveled, and speed. The data recorded and viewable after the descents retraces the entire course of the athlete on a map, while displaying the places and the time elapsed during the breaks. We appreciate the system of tables allowing you to follow the evolution of your performance over time on the same course. The icing on the cake, the Ski Tracks application is designed so as not to be too energy-intensive, a black point of most tracking.
