AR Drawing turns a Fire tablet into a tracing window, and not much else.
A camera-overlay tracing app aimed at kids who want to draw cute subjects from a pre-loaded gallery — useful for the half-hour it takes to learn what it does, light on everything past that.

Pokémon GO is still the only AR game anyone actually plays outside.
A decade in, Niantic's location-based monster collector is the rare phone game whose core loop only works if you leave the house — and the rare live-service title to outlive its own studio's independence.

cARscan turns the phone in your pocket into a vehicle inspector.
An indie AR utility aimed at the moment you walk around a car with a clipboard — useful when it works, opaque about almost everything else.

iScape turns your phone into a usable landscape sketchpad.
AR previews and a deep plant library make the homeowner version surprisingly competent. The Pro tier asks a lot for what designers already get from desktop tools.

Snapchat on Fire is the phone app on a tablet that nobody asked for.
Snap finally shipped a Fire Tablet build in late 2025 with the full Chat / Stories / Lenses / Spotlight stack, but the camera-first product designed for a phone in your hand still feels stranded on a 10-inch slab.

Pokémon GO on Samsung Galaxy is the same outdoor game with a different store badge.
The Galaxy Store build of Niantic's location-based collection game is functionally identical to the Google Play version. Same accounts, same map, same ten years of refinement.

Pokémon GO is the longest-running outlier in mobile gaming.
Ten years after the 2016 launch event, Niantic's GPS-tied collection game is still pulling 50+ million monthly active users and grossing more than most launches do in their first year. The product is the city around it.

Snapchat is a teen messaging app with augmented-reality glasses on the roadmap.
What survived the Stories wars is a small-but-loyal Gen-Z chat client, the best AR camera in any consumer app, and a hardware bet on Spectacles that may or may not actually ship.
