Adult coloring books are a popular way to relax and escape the world for a while. Coloring is a coloring app with tons of free images that you can color on the go. Conveniently, it has a left-handed mode and a huge color palette. You can use the bucket tool to color the image section by section, or color it with a colored pencil using the pencil tool.

The app has a library of premium images that you can unlock with coins, or you can unlock the whole thing by subscribing for $2.99 for one month or $4.99 for three months. Both subscription options have a three-day trial period. Coloring gives you 50 coins to start with, and you can buy more in blocks of 100 ($0.99), 250 ($1.99), and 600 ($3.99). You can also watch ads to earn coins.

Google Handwriting Input is a keyboard option that converts your handwriting into text in almost any Android app that supports typing. You can test out the functionality in the app, but you'll get a better idea of what it can do when you're texting, emailing, taking notes, or posting to social media. It supports emojis in addition to printed and cursive writing with a stylus or your finger.
