We\u2019re full of praise for Android apps that pack features and functionality to the brim, but what about those that are genuinely pleasing to the eye? With newer versions of Android focusing more attentively on aesthetics, whether that\u2019s control over Material theme colors or greater use of blur, phone software of the future promises to look better than ever before.<\/p>\n

So why not grab apps that look the part? Below is a list of the best-looking Android apps you can install right now.<\/p>\n

Gradient Weather<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

There are loads of gorgeous Android weather apps out there, and I could\u2019ve easily listed five or six on this list alone. However, among them, newcomer Gradient Weather is perhaps the prettiest.<\/p>\n

With its chunky fonts, large icons, and colorful line graphs, Gradient makes it super easy to glimpse weather conditions and forecasts, largely thanks to its large header animation and a predominant color theme that mirrors current information.<\/p>\n
