Apps for April 13, 2012
Battery HD
Battery HD serves two purposes. Firstly, Battery HD tells users exactly how much battery they have left — you can view battery percentage either in the main app, use a 1×2 or 2×1 widget, or put Battery HD in the notification bar/pull down menu. Secondly, Battery HD attempts to predict how long your remaining charge will last based on what you use your device for; Battery HD makes predictions for audio and video playback, Internet usage (WiFi and network), talk time, 2D/3D games, GPS, video chat, taking photos, recording videos, using the LED camera flash (if applicable), and reading.
Battery HD comes in two versions. Battery HD (free) is fully functional but ad-supported. Battery HD Pro is ad-free.

Dr. Parking 2
Dr. Parking 2 is an Android game in which you learn to park. Using on-screen accelerator, break, and steering wheel you must park a vehicle in its designated spot. As you progress through the levels, the parking spots get tougher. Dr. Parking 2 has four different vehicles you can park (a small car, a sedan, a truck, and a bus) with each vehicle having nine levels.
If you really like Dr. Parking 2, you can go back and play Dr. Parking (the original one).

Strike Knight
Strike Knight is a simple bowling game for Android with a twist. First of all, instead of using a bowling ball you use a puck to knock down the pins; you slide the puck with your finger towards the pins getting two tries per frame. Secondly, while playing you are “heckled” by a the “Strike Knight” and other characters who say stuff, make noises, etc. Thirdly… oh wait there is no thirdly — that is all there is to Strike Knight.
Strike Knight can be played in single player or “pass & play” mode in which each person takes a turn then passes the Android device to someone else.
