Here at My Dpad, we’ve previously talked about Google Play Pass as a great way to get some great games for cheap and without any in-app purchases. However, Google Play Pass also includes dozens of non-game apps that are worth your time. Here are the 10 best non-game apps available completely free for Google Play Pass subscribers.
All-in-One Calculator
Everyone’s smartphone comes with a calculator app, but this one is just a bit more full-featured. This calculator should do just about everything most math students need, as it even functions as a graphing calculator. You’ll never need another calculator app (or a physical calculator) if you have this one on your phone.

Daylio – Diary, Journal, Mood Tracker
Daylio is a mood tracker/journal/diary that works even if you never want to write anything down. You can check in whenever you feel like it and report your mood by picking one of several smiley faces. You can also track what you’ve done that day in the same way, by picking from options. If you want to start keeping track of your day-to-day life but don’t want to start a traditional journal/diary, check out Daylio.

Dictionary.com Premium
This is the paid version of the Dictionary.com app, and it’s the only dictionary app you’ll need on your smartphone. If you ever need definitions, synonyms, examples, or rhyming words while you’re away from your computer, this is the app for you. It even includes a medical dictionary and a science dictionary, which is not necessarily standard for all dictionary apps.

Floor Plan Creator
If you’re like me (an engineer’s son), you probably spent some of your childhood playing with 3D architect software. If you’re not, you might be jealous of the cool software people on HGTV use to visualize renovations. Whatever the case, Floor Plan Creator is a cool way to create and visualize your own floor plans right on your phone. Think of it as The Sims without the gameplay.

Infinite Painter
If you like to spend your free time doodling, Infinite Painter is the app for you. An incredibly extensive and detailed painting app, you can make more precise brushstrokes on this than you can on the average art app. Check out Infinite Painter if you’re ready to upgrade your doodling to true art on the go.

Notebloc PDF Scanner App – Scan. save & share
While a lot of our world now exists on electronic screens, we still come in contact with important papers every so often. For those cases, it’s important to have a scanner app that can scan those papers into usable PDFs (instead of just having blurry pictures). Notebloc is a great portable scanning option for Google Play Pass subscribers.

Perfect Piano
If you’re like me, you spend a lot of your free time making music in your head (or drumming with your feet/hands). What you need is a good outlet. Perfect Piano is a great piano app that fits in your pocket, and while you can use it to play a few notes, you can also use it to learn piano. If you want to buy a keyboard but aren’t sure how much you’ll use it, this is a good first step.

QuickEdit Text Editor Pro – Writer & Code Editor
QuickEdit Text Editor Pro is the pro version of a full-featured code editor that lives on your phone. You can use it as a plain text editor, but you can also use it as an editor for over 50 programming languages, including C++, Javascript, and Python. If you want to tinker with code away from your computer, QuickEdit Text Editor Pro is a great option.

Unit Converter
All-in-One Calculator (listed above) may have some unit conversion capabilities, but this app is much more extensive. If you need unit conversion capabilities for cooking or pretty much anything else, it’s handy to have that information right in your pocket. With this Unit Converter app, you’ll never need to wait for a unit conversion-related web search to load again.

White Noise Generator
Finally, this app is a simple white noise generator. There are a lot of white noise apps available in Google Play Pass itself, but I’ve tried all of them and this is hands down my favorite. It has all sorts of noise tracks, and you can individually adjust each track’s volume. You can even set timers, so it’s perfect to use for falling asleep. I myself use it to simulate a thunderstorm, then put it down on my nightstand and drift off to sleep.

If you have Google Play Pass, you can try every single one of these apps without spending a dime. No matter what type of app you’re looking for, one of the 10 listed above can probably help you out. Happy hunting!
