Indispensable Android apps
Indispensable apps are the ones that most Android users will almost certainly need to install for the smooth functioning of their smartphones. These primarily include key apps like keyboards, browsers, security, and personalization apps. While most of these come pre-installed on Android phones, at times, it is always a good idea to switch to another app that (usually) offers a lot more features than the default ones.
Best keyboard app
Microsoft Swiftkey
- Download SwiftKey from the Google Play Store
- Rating: 4.3
- Price: Free
While Gboard is definitely the most popular keyboard app on the Android platform, this is largely the case because it comes preinstalled on most Android devices. Before Gboard’s arrival in 2016, SwiftKey was arguably among the most popular third-party keyboard app for Android devices. With over 500 million downloads on the Google Play Store, SwiftKey continues to remain hugely popular. It is also loaded with features and is definitely a great alternative to Gboard.

File managers or file explorers have been common on smartphones for several decades now. While initially used only by power users, File managers have risen in popularity thanks to the open nature of Android. While Google offers its own File Manager within the ‘Files’ app, there are several feature-packed, third-party file manager apps currently available for download. Among these, the one that made the cut to become the chosen one is Solid Explorer.

Opera

Before we talk about Opera, let us address the elephant in the room. Yes, Google Chrome for Android is by far the most popular browser for Android users. But it has become so ubiquitous, it is almost not necessary to add it to a list. So consider this one as our pick for the best browser for Android other than Google Chrome. As for Opera, well, they have been in the browser space for a really long time and Opera for Android is a really solid, feature-packed offering.

This app has been a hot favorite among Android users for ages now – and it continues to be the launcher of choice for millions of users.

Of course, there are other offline map apps that do offer several features.

Best Photography Apps
Smartphones have more or less taken over the photography space and have been responsible for the dipping sales figures of most camera-only brands. High-end smartphones sold today boast excellent image and video quality and can satiate the needs of even the most demanding of photographers. The added advantage with phones is that users not only get the option to play around with different camera apps, but they can also use capable image editing tools to make their photos look even better!
Best camera app
Google Camera

Note that the list of supported features really depends on what handset you use.

- Rating: 4.4
- Price: Free (Paid plans available)

It offers 100GB of free storage for its basic users and offers plans of up 10 TB on unlimited devices for $9.99 a month.

Best calendar app
Google Calendar

- Rating: 4.3
- Price: Free
This one wasn’t a hard choice. Google Calendar is a great app and even people who do not really like Google sort of agree to this. The main advantage of Google Calendar - especially if you are deeply entrenched into the Google ecosystem is that you need to do very few manual entries to set your schedule. Google Calendar syncs information and data across several Google apps and does it all in a seamless manner. We can not, therefore, help but recommend Google Calendar over the other options available in the market.

What are your favorite Android apps? Any that you think are better than the ones in our selection? Let us know in the comments!
Android app development has become the core of mobile strategy today and most large, medium and small businesses have started to realize the potential benefits offered by the robust applications. Worldwide, the demand for android apps is increasing exponentially. Realizing this, we at Hakuna Matata develop advanced Mobile applications that mitigates the enterprise challenges and help in improving your organization’s growth and revenue.
Evernote is my most critical Android app. I'm not a fan of how they push their paid programs so hard in the new release. Nor the default home page you can't tweak without their current paid memberships. I do have a paid membership, but it's grandrathered from over a decade ago and gets none of the new "features". Still, the app is a great tool.
As to ereader, I think you succumbed to the walled garden style of thinking. The best e-readers are the independent tools like FBReader and Librera. More format support, better controls, less snooping. Use Calibre on your desktop/notebook with the appropriate plugin from ApprenticeAlf and free your reading experience and book supply chain.
Snapseed and Strava are the best apps suggested by you. Thank You for such good and informative information.
Thank you. I love Evernote and Snapseed.

It’s not easy deciding which apps to download and install on your Android phone or tablet. here is the best background remover app on play store
**[Image Cut Paste & Background Eraser][2]**
[2]: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=image_cut.background.eraser.background_changer.image_cut_out
That's a long list of apps you included there, as a developer it gave me many ideas for my work in app development in Android.
Hi!
There is a new app in Android called ChatsOffline, that is great to protect your time, it can help you to pause your chats (WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger for free), so you can focus on your work and family time.
For note Taking purpose I use Microsoft's "OneNote". I find it more versatile, powerful and free from the kind of restrictions imposed by Evernote in its freemium model. Further, Microsoft will exist in continuity in foreseeable future while there is no guarantee for Evernote.
I think, WhatsApp is the most popular one in the list. Its very useful communication app which almost everyone uses in regular basis.
Recommended years ago on AndroidPit (and still using):

How does someone recommend McAfee and Avast and still go home to their family at night and look them in the eyes?
I am a simple man. I see McAfee on a "best apps" list and I cringe. Avast is good, probably the best aside from Kaspersky; good for those who believe politicians enough to distrust Kaspersky. I'd also highly recommend Malwarebytes to everyone, as a secondary protection.
There are other underwhelming picks that I'd love to argue, but seriously, McAfee? "Best Apps"? Eww.
Your article is very much incomplete.don't include the privacy stuff.many app needs location, login to work. Then how can this be best.this info is not true to the best.frankly speaking boring.
the best AV will always be the intelligence of each one ... we do not need applications for this purpose.
I ♥️ Action launcher 3
Thanks for the huge list. Some of the apps iam already using and satisfied with that.
Brilliant article. The information I have been searching precisely. Thanks again for sharing these great app lists, its like package for me!
Nice info.
I thought this could be helpful for many who want to learn Android Development
Edge browser is also an excellent choice for browser, especially given how feature-rich the mobile and web pages.
Nice Article Eric Ferrari-Herrmann , Thanks for Sharing Information and I am Expecting more from Your Side
Touchpal is my best keyboard application,still use playerpro for my music player,but there are some better applications outside the play store,that i have found on aptoide and uptodown,it can be a gamble using applications outside the playstore as sometimes you miss out on regular updates
Thanks for sharing some of your top picks, Andrew!
Andrew can you plz tell how can i download chrooma keyboard apk version
PhotoDirector is exactly the application I needed. Thanks.
Kustom Live Wallpaper, or KLWP might be the single most amazing app for customizing your phone ever created. There is a learning curve but if you like to theme your phone there is no question this is the way to go.
It's like uccw and Zooper combined, on steroids with next to no battery drain. It has absolutely endless possibilities, it's updated constantly and has an amazing community on G+ as well as tons of videos on YouTube showing how to use it. You can also download professional and amazing looking themes from the Play Store to load onto it if you don't want to make your own.
I use an app called 'Uplift' for tracking the stock market. It's pretty simple but it's really easy!
great work
thankx for sharing
Thanks for sharing.
For music streaming, Audials is fantastic!
Available for many platforms, but free, no ads Android app in playstore is great. Over one hundred thousand stations, & podcasts. Best feature, recording while listening or scheduled recording in the background. Only broadcast stations have the usual ads, but I rarely hear any on the streams I choose.
Updated: Lot of good ones here, some will be contentious. I dropped Open Camera and adopted Snap Camera HDR (Marginz) as default app because it includes customizable GUI with presets, and JPEG controls for wavelet denoise, along and sliders for sharpening, saturation and contrast. I keep comfortable, familiar Camera FV-5 for lossless PNG format. Snap and Bacon Camera actually force my Camera1 API phone to make good lossless DNGs. The main keyboard feature I want is a simple extra row of numbers across the top instead of long press or a second board - several good ones have it.
In Canada the only reliable weather source is Environment Canada, and Fish & Whistle's nicely made free Canada Weather is the only app to link to it. Users with public library cards should see what apps the library provides free - I use Hoopla - 9 downloads/month no charge - surprised at the number of movies I like (offers TV, music and comics as well). Several ereading apps (OverDrive, RBDigital, PressReader), Naxos Jazz and Music streaming, etc. all of which are free with a library number, subscription charges without. You guys might want to do a report on free public library apps for your readers.
Best Lock Screen? LOL. Not updated since... February. We've all moved on to Microsoft Launcher.

I would like to add one more category here
Best Game Apps for Android
1- Critical Ops
2- Clash Royale
3- Cut the Rope
Yes. All of these are great apps and useful for an Android Devices. But i also like to mention another app called "WiFiKill Pro".
I think it is one of the best app in controling wifi network. Any one can easily monitor his/her network. As well as can kick or block unwanted user or device. you can check here -> wifikill.net
The best app of 2017 is Writelight. Writelight has 200 prompts for freewriting. There are prompts for creative thinking, reflection on career and life issues, special prompts for bad and good mood. It will help you to start journaling and will make you a better person eventually.
Skype is also becoming very popular now. in my openion it is on number 2 after Whatsapp.
Why weren't social apps added to above list ? I think social apps are most popular category for each app store. I want to add an app called "NearBy" to social category. I have tried to using this app and realized that NearBy is better than most known social apps. I can see Instagram and Twitter posts, photos and videos located near me. So meeting new people in the same neighbourhood is possible via this app I think. You can try and say thanks to me :) this is the app page:www.sga-nearby.com
Sorry, but Fleksy doesn't seem to be very user friendly. So I can't change the language while writing a message.
And it continuously insists in wrongly auto correcting the words typed in. It's really not funny...

Google might be doing well with Android, but to help consumers out more with there phones batterylife, why? Don't the include the "Exit"option for All applications created, as consumers can become very angry with there phone or experience with Android, you can think you have finished using some applications but there still running in the background and its in your mind thinking, Why? is my battery draining, even though you have not used anything on your phone
There are countless platforms available in the market but android is the first choice in App Development Industry. android is an open source platform and multiple applications can be used by Android App Developers without any licence fee. we at our app development company agicent also work a lot on android app development and would be glad to speak more.

You can gain Fans for your art and it can be used to do both, upload and surf through videos of Talented Individuals. This one is for art lovers.
I think, you forget to include cache cleaning apps. why these are so important? because these apps are the only thing who can save my mobile's memory and maintain my battery otherwise my mobile will getting slow and junk files will harm my phone's battery and processor. IMHO, this can be cause of your mobile death. My top 5 cache cleaning apps are:
Nitro Boost and Cleaner
CCleaner
Clean Cache - Optimize
App Cache Cleaner - 1Tap Clean
CM Speed Booster丨Cache Cleaner
Thank you!! This is what I actually came here looking for using Avg cleaner now and the ads just suck.. Going to try your recommendation for nitro.. Thanks
I agree. Cashé cleaning apps are very important and the article should have included at least one. Additionally, is your list in ascending or descending order?

I'll definitely try this! I'm not a fan of having 100 apps. Thank you
HERMIT .That's the app you are looking for.Try to buy it (less than 5 $) instead of going with a free version to unlock its full potential.All my shopping apps- Amazon ,E bay etc as well as others like Facebook,Twitter ,Deviant-art ...they are all now within HERMIT. Polyneed seems to be a startup app built with the Indian consumer in mind (only 100 downloads ).Hermit is an app with history and the number of people using it is very high .It's now polished and has Ad-blocking ,Fullscreen and a bevy of seemingly useless features .Why don't they (Androidpit geeks) put it here ,I wonder...

Hi Scott,
It seems you have done a deep research on the topic. Here, I am sharing an app for share market investors & traders.
The app name is TRADEIT. I am using this app from past few months and earned a good profit through their advice.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Thanks for great app tips. I will comment though that I think jetaudio plus player has better audio quality than poweramp. Poweramp has arguably a better interface, but for playing music IMHO jetaudio has better audio playback and amazing extra purchased add ons.
Very good job.... Thank for sharing..

There’s this awesome app called GrabPoints. In a nutshell they pay you for trying out new apps and answering a couple of surveys. I love using it because they are always active on social media giving out points and the rewards are always fair. Like just for signing up you already get $1 then if you use a friend’s invite code you get 500 PTS and easy AND your friend gets points in return too! See even simply inviting people earns you money. If you ever happen to try GRABPOINTS please use my invite code: S6FMAC Hope this helps!

Hi , I worked for more than 1 year by myself for this app: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.NoDev.WarBot
and due to a lot of download farms, my app is useless.
It doesn't matter if you do a great app, useful and you work hard because no one will know about it.
This promoting stuff is becoming impossible for those without money to invest in.
I took a look at your app and I must say, it stinks. Instead of wasting money on promotion, create a fun and engaging game.
Very nice content about mobile apps of 2016.thanks for sharing
Nice List. , For android developer as well as user both can see about android apps...
Here are 3 more
1)Touch Lock
2) WalkCam
3)App Delay
DGApps.weebly.com
And definitely check them out on Google play
Its funny to see you guys have missed so many insanely beautiful apps like "ReadyGo weather app" etc.
<a href="http:/www.appsdrives.com/2016/02/kingroot-apk.html/" I Need to free download </a>
that is huge list
MY two favorite apps is 1) Snoopsnitch.apk which monitors your phone for hacking use systems such as "Stingray" and "Dirtybox". 2) PrecisionGPS.apk uses an array of satellites to pinpoint your GPS. I compared it to my parcel information and it was spot on.
There is no app for the network scanning
10 Must Have Apps For Your Android Phone..!!
Nice List. , I have found one new app "Funny Droid" . Same as imgur.
Sorry but X-plore is THE BEST file manager out there and it's totally free. You should give it a try cause I tried many myself and would never change it.
you should also try Total launcher... A very powerful and customizable launcher (maybe too much).
Found out this super useful new location-based app called "Getmii"!
Introduced by my university friend in Boston! You can instantly ask for what you need to people around you! (for example, any kind of advice, student and classes information, apartment looking, internship seeking, etc...) You can probably make a sell/purchase by doing this as well! Check it out! It's really interesting!
Cool list. But consider adding Weblifier. You can bookmark this page and automatically get notified of any new comments. You can bookmark Any Facebook or forum post to follow the development. You can automatically find and browse rss feeds on a bookmark. You can see, browse and bookmark all the alexa top websites. You can search Google and amazon and Yahoo and YouTube from a single page and have them open in new tabs; so you can keep searching. You can do wonderful BRAND NEW things with Weblifier. This app should make the list, clearly...
Hi guys,
Check out the new Shift It app from Macondo Software Labs designed to help you with your weekly schedule. It's extremely helpful, easy to use and pleasing to the eye!
I absolutely love parental control apps because they are great for my chilren and I can tell it's a top suggestion you have there. Another one I could recommend is studylock
Please advise how we can get our Lock Screen App reviewed.
It allows users to unlock their Android smartphone with their Instagram photos as a memorable and secure way of protecting their phone.
The clever bit is the security where the keypad uses the same photos but they are in a different order each time the user logs in. This turns the same password sequence into a one-time password for every login.
It can be downloaded from Google's Play Store by searching 'IconLogin' or from our website www.iconlogin.com
Thanks for any advice.
you forgot about Business Card Reader Base CRM app. it will help to quickly create a contact with a business card in your phone, gmail or CRM system. Supports voice memos. This app saves my time not one time.
There are a number of apps you've missed like Pi music player it has bass boost an EQ and an built in ring tone maker that works quite well. Far and away the best launcher is Apex. I've tried just about all of them and Apex is the best IMHO. ES Global removed the adds. I like ES file explorers functionality and the look of the classic theme (which is not available in the pro version sadly). The biggest plus for me is it handles the handoff of streaming video over my LAN from a windows share to the VLC app seamlessly. Sorry it's not getting uninstalled on my phone. If you like live wallpaper Earth-Moon pro is awesome. Also if you like to lock apps away from prying eyes Smart Applock pro is the best there is. I like the feature where it takes the intruders picture when they can't guess your passcode/pattern. Rotation Control by CrapeMyrtle is a very good rotation control program that places it's control mechanism in your notification drop down. Also has app rotation protection that won't let apps rotate the screen. The only app missing on this list is a good alternative to the stock phone app. All the ones I have tried are lacking.
How often do you think you'll catch someone trying to access the locked apps? Don't you use a lock screen password? Do you often have strangers (or anyone else you might know) accessing your device?
These apps can be useful to alleviate paranoia but in reality the majority of users should have no need to waste storage and resources by installing these types of apps.
Peace ✌
This article have been a blessing, I found it educative and interesting to read. Also some of the Apps suggested, have been downloaded and put use by me which made browsing easier through use of such apps. Thanks
it's really so
A good list of useful and best apps on playstore for android devices. I would also request you to try this amazing app which is very useful for chatting to people nearby you anonymously and at the same you can also give reviews about places near you and also ask people about how the place is before visiting..... Tha name of App is "HoHooChat" you can download it from playstore by just searching "HoHooChat" on playstore.
Headline wallpaper (the raindrops on what appears to be a Note 4) please ;)
Very important post. I generally use the Dasher Messenger.Thanks for this.
I only use Chrome and Drive from the list - I would disagree with every other entry.
Though I definitely disagree with the file Manager section - X-plore is without doubt the best.
Music player - Playerpro again without doubt the best
It's difficult to gauge the rest of the list, are you paid to promote the above mentioned apps? Or are they apps that you genuinely use everyday?
Peace ✌
AntiVirus app? Really?
Come on Androidpit, give us a list of viruses on Android. Better still, scribe a well-researched article about viruses on Android. You could could start by explaining how Android uses a 'sandbox' to run apps and what the pros and cons of this approach are.
Research might be somewhat challenging for your writers, I suspect.
Agreed. Until viruses affect my work with porn pop-ups why bother.
Its all the same list every time very disappointed 😞
I am sorry cant agree with the launcher Nova launcher prime is the best launcher made for Android so far.Antivirus apps dont work as helpful as they do in pcs and android has inbuilt security Google scans the app thats been installed or before installing for viruses so i dont think antivirus app helps.I dont agree with the Google drive as cloud storage is not safe as already google steals our data Its better to download tresorit which is safe as it offers end to end encryption for file uploading and downloading as well and more than millions of people tried to hack it but they couldnt they are so strong that they offer $50,000 for who hacks it and also ES FILE MANAGER OR EXPLORER PRO IS BEST NO MATTER WHAT.
Agree on action launcher 3, its just a money grab by the developer. just read the comments/review on google play and you can see its abandon, the last update was last year and all the problems highlighted by its users were ignored. very soon there will be ACTION LAUNCHER 4 and you will need to PAY ONE MORE TIME!
How can andoidpit recommend abandon ware? Disappointed.......
Now, this game is best to kill free time and is The Best if you read the description of the game.
It's called ' Real Run 2 - Go Nuts ' . available on android
Great list indeed .. Can I suggest that you add spysync.com application for monitoring and tracking ?
Quipsphere is the mobile app for sharing ideas, comments and opinions in the form of recorded voice message.. way better than twitter in my opinion.
Checkout an app named "Bucker" it's really cool!! You can get all things done is just one app, do a recharge, book a cab, compare prices and buy stuff online and so much more. Worth trying!
I refuse to use Google play music app anymore...won't let you download your music and if you activate too many devices you are out of luck. They let you deactivate once as a courtesy...But I trade phones every couple of months.
Is there no app for remainder like evernote or anything?
There’s this awesome app called GrabPoints. In a nutshell they pay you for trying out new apps and answering a couple of surveys. I love using it because they are always active on social media giving out points and the rewards are always fair. Like just for signing up you already get $1 then if you use a friend’s invite code you get 500 PTS and easy AND your friend gets points in return too! See even simply inviting people earns you money. If you ever happen to try GRABPOINTS please use my invite code: S6FMAC Hope this helps!
I'm using it some time and it is really great!
Wow that's pretty cool list, even some of the apps I've never heard of them. Thanks for these gems.
For unknown apps category, I think the mention above is a bit dated. So many great entrants; especially Nestob. This app will give you all the best websites in the world, grouped by country or categories. It's not a search engine but a search device (you have less control but it just works great and does what you need for the most part). Not only will you find your information but you will find many more exciting stuff to learn or do online. And it's free!
Here, Best app for financial management Bank Manager.... Check out in google playstore
Sure i will give them a try but You can also view wikipedia for top downloaded apps or visit www.freehax.net to download apk of the top most downloaded apps
www.msynch.com or www.spysync.com would be nice
let us include a reminder/to do list app
I came across a good location reminder called spotprompt,
Using this app you can send a reminder item to friends. You can also send locations.
It’s a really helpful tool.
i'ts free on playstore
It's great post, thank for sharing. I am using Best lock screen apps is really cool. You also visit more top android apps stuff. www.abeapps.com

As far as Samsung products go, can someone tell me their PERSONAL experiences with KNOX? I'm finding the more I read, the more confusing I get. (apologies to any pro's I'm irritating ) Just looking for the info I need in a more timely manner. Thanks.
I'm curious. I was using the DU apps for quite some time. The better reviews are coming from experts. Others are just quite confusing. Anything you could let me know about this company? They seem to be growing in numbers quite fast. Any real info would GREATLY be appreciated.
I don't know. I'm seeing lots of great stuff. Thanks for taking the time to educate (or attempt to ) the masses. I know I'm humbled by ALL knowledge, and the fact that we (ALL ) don't know EVERYTHING.
Take a look at the pushnshake personal safety app. On the Google play store.. So simple a child could use it.
Indeed is indeed the crappiest app I have used. How could you possibly include that one? :/
This was a waste of time. Read the entire, directed to another page, read more, and I did not get even one app name! Just another wanna be "guru" that talks like if he was a skilled it, but at the end he just talks...
Wow, is EVERYONE on here so rude to people who are simply TRYING to help. Please try an AA meeting, (attitude adjustment) and leave those of us who are interested in what this site provides...simple help to questions they do not have the answers to? Namaste.
Bunch of useless applications, most of them just junk for the phone.
How much do they pay you?
nice post thanxs for sharing. fusion image blender photo app is also good app. you should try.
I also use a nice app for findinf cheap flights. It is really easy to use with NO ADS at all and free:
https: //play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.org.bookingpro.cheapflights
Excellent post and app collection thanks for sharing with us . i have one more a its A.I Awake alarm clock which is also pretty cool and useful must check !
As far movies and more ShowBox is best and it's free
Thank you, Oscar. Very kind of you.
Thanks for great app tips. I will comment though that I think <a href=”www.digitalindianclub.com/2016/03/best-5-must-have-android-apps-2016.html” target=”_blank”>Here Is Top Android Apps</a>
Great Article!! This is really useful app list for android phone. I am using some apps such as MORECAST, The 7 Minute Workout, Avast and Google Play. I love them a lot as they are useful for me. MORECAST is the right way to make a smartphone weather app, and best of all, it's free. Thank you for sharing such a good article. Get more information about Android app development please visit Julyrapid android app development page.
Video2me: Video Editor, Gif Maker

I can't believe that App Delay by DGApps was not included. It is the best app for launching apps with delays, very useful.
Hi. Had one unexpected problem with pocket when I used it... it saved to the cloud only links to web stuff seen or read, rather than accepting snippets or saving snapshots. So something I read six weeks ago and want to come back to in pocket... may have disappeared! The webpage amended, updated or deleted, could mean pocket content Lost! Now I use Telegram or Podio for maintaining constancy.
Chrome is the best app? It's strange for me. In my opinion Opera, Delphin etc are better.
I prefer Dolphin as well.
I'm not sold on Opera yet. They've too many glitches (for me personally). JMO.
good collection of awesome apps, thanks for sharing

Check out the Pushnshake personal safety app at the play store. . So simple a child can use it.
Hey hi Scott , You have recognized our app Videoder under the header "Best app you won't find in the Play Store" . First of all many thanks for the recognition. But there's one major issue you have mistakenly GIVEN THE WRONG LINK UNDER OUR NAME . Please update the correct link as soon as possible . Here's the correct link www.videoder.net . Also we could provide you with the latest screenshots the app if you would like to update them. Waiting for your reply.
Thanks great apps info ,
here is another one must try!

Hulu? I thought I heard something about them sharing private information of it's users.
Es File Explorer. Even though I've been using it for years I can't say I'm too happy with the developer. They crippled their app not too long ago so users would buy the pro version. What they should have done was offer more features for the pro version. The pro version is well worth $4.
For cloud storage app I use Es File Explorer and whatever cloud service I want.
Next Lock Screen, according to the Play Store reviews, latest update is not good.
Thanks for great app tips. I will comment though that I think jetaudio plus player is better audio quality then poweramp. Poweramp has arguably a better interface, but for playing music IMHO jetaudio has better audio playback and amazing extra purchased dsp add ons.
Thanks for great article.
Here is my list: 1. 1Weather 2. Flipagram 3. Tiny Scanner 4. Photo Grid 5. Musixmatch
Camera360 is a awesome app for girls like me. More selfie more beautiful :D
I would like to introduce my very cool game for relaxing: Cookie sweet. It's the coolest match 3 cookie game. "id=com.geniuspham.cookiesweet" Try it, it won't disappoint you.

Good list - I'd have an alternative here or there. I have to say the only reliable weather service for Canada is Environment Canada, and pretty graphics are no substitute for getting the forecast right. A bright young developer in Halifax called Fish&Whistle has really outdone the government in providing a polished, efficient and configurable app for Environment Canada.
Great article and great apps !! I also would like to share my recent game : "Hard To Tap" Please try it and give your feedback play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.gamesbox.hardtotap
There are a lot of useful apps, buth unfortunely BUZZINGA is not possibile for our country...
Great article!

Nice list but still missing some really good apps
hi there I also would like to share my recent app : "Best Video Downloader" Please try it and give your feedback. : play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobifad.video_downloader
Hi Scott, allow me to share with you the new app that I developed. Its name is DroceR - a simple, flexible, and integrated personal assistant software. I made this app because I'm not happy and comfortable with the existing apps out there. Please, consider this in your future review: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mindkrow.drocer.android

I think that is a great article on Android apps especially for new comers to Android.
I didn't see a category for Best Deals App, which helps people to find the best deals. There are many daily deals apps or coupon apps, but here is a very different one: DealsWatchDog. (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dealswatchdog.dealswatchdog&hl=en) The idea is that you enter what product you want to buy and the current market price for the product, the app will monitor many popular market places 24x7 for the product. If it noticed a better price than the price entered, it will notify the user for the deal. Think about the particular lawn mower you wanted to buy but in no hurry so you decided to wait until there was a sale...
Disclaimer: I'm the developer of this new Android app.
These are really great apps. However, if you just want to get a music player for your songs, then check out this beautiful music player app play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.musicplayer.mediaplayer
Plix isn't on this list.. Really? Its the coolest app I have come across this year. Tells me which of my friends might have my photos and I can request them. Let me get over 400 photos that my friends had clicked but never shared!!
That sounds brilliant.
Are you interested in a way to try out the hottest new apps… and get PAID to do it?

To add to the best apps for musicians section, the best music theory app I've seen is 'Music Theory - Chords in Keys' by Stuart Bahn.
Great List I also would like to suggest few apps :)
1st: Download Manager Pro
It is a new app which speeds up your downloading and has the highest number of download threads it with the most Beautiful UI and Amazing UX Download Here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=adm.downloadmanager.pro.android
2nd: Hide Pictures in Hidey Vault
One of the best apps to hide all your private pictures and videos in a beautiful way. You have all the control over your images. Download Here: Hide Pictures https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.photolock.photohide.privacy
3rd: Hide Videos Video Locker
Mostly Focused on videos and perfect when you want to protect your private videos Download Here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hidevideos.videolocker
Wow.. really.. Plix didn't make it to the list or you forgot about it? Awesome app.. let me share 200 pics with my parents in 3 min flat.. and got so many memories back in return!
Why is Circle Guess not mentioned here? It is the most recent ground-breaking app for children yet it wasn't mentioned here. It's an easy app for toddlers and up which supposedly teaches them less and greater than numbers. We must not forget that the value of apps for kids rely mainly on how educational it is. Fun and educational must be the benchmark for all children's app. For more info about how to get your kids learn from having fun, download Circle Guess on Appstore, Playstore, or Amazon Appstore. Or message me for more resources.
I think is Es file explorer is the best file manager..for me.
Pocketcasts is the best podcasting app, Tunein Radio is also a good choice if one wants to listen to both Podcasts and other radio channels
Hello, I would like to introduce you my new Android Live Wallpaper called LIVING CELLS, it is interactive and very customizable live wallpaper. Try it now and watch those beautiful and colorful patterns ! You can get it here: www.play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.caller.generationslwp.android
I recommend "Tablica Mendelejewa"for Android.
Let's try Floating Web Browser, a multitasking browser that can use over other apps like popup window. It will save your time from switching between apps. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floating.web.browser
I use app called "Floating Toucher" it puts a floating button app on every screen, when pressed it opens up into a options wheel. You can customise it with many different options/apps/shortcuts.
Thanks for this list!! I have been traveling since 2002 and that time technology was not so advanced and we didn't have mobile applications to help while traveling and now there are so many applications that i sometimes get lost in the crowd searching for which are the best. Your list is a good consolidation of best apps!!
From past 2 years I have been using a travel diary called Roadlike. Roadlike is an app that lets me document my day to day moments. It is simple & innovative diary & works in OFFLINE MODE. It is one of my favorite app because it allows me to capture my daily moments & check in at places even in offline with exact locations tagged to it, few photos or a short video and small memory notes.
Also, it does this well when I am in offline mode (due to bad internet connection while travelling to remote areas or traveling internationally).
Link to their website is - www.roadlike.com
They are available on iOS - itunes.apple.com/us/app/roadlike-capture-moments-locations/id916457325?ls=1&mt=8 and
Android platform - play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roadlike.app.
Also, following are my top 6 good travel apps which i use:
Expensify for managing expense;
Roadlike for capturing travel moments with check ins, capturing locations, photos & videos;
PackPoint for not missing out on any item to pack before traveling;
TripAdvisor for recommendations of hotels & restaurants;
Expedia for booking travels; and
Pocket for reading while traveling - works in offline.
Good information all apps is best ....

Wow great article i also have some thing for you try out this app and enjoy the fun .there are many apps but this one is my favortie Military dress changer app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apexlogics1.armed.forces.dress.changer.free
I also recommend this app/game, i 've found it really addicitive. It's called ABABA
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.matlab.ababa
thanks for sharing nice aap list.
I m using "IPro Habit Tracker" for tracking the habits in android and iphone. Also its streak representation is best based on filter.
I like database backup and restore functionality of the application. Specially see backup file from document directory which is in decoding format, it is best for security purpose.
push-bullet is better than pocket and few more are missing.
Tasker
Damn that was a good list! You know there's actually an app called Phone Meter to track the number of times you touch your phone in a day. The crazy part is when you start comparing your numbers with your friends'! Look for the blue fist icon
I would argue that ShowBox is the best for TV show and Movie streaming. Yes you can't get it from the Play Store. But it still is much better then Hulu
Be aware though that showbox & popcorntime are illegal - you are downloading copyrighted material which if certain authorities find out could mean a loss of Internet (banned) fines or worse.
Though it is unlikely that they would bother with small time users. It's good to be aware...

In android application development, orientation is the deciding factors for presenting the layout in a row wise or a column wise fashion. Set orientations are used for setting the values and values can either is horizontal or vertical.
It seems like just yesterday that Instagram was adding video. Then direct messaging. And now the image sharing service that made us all fall in love with filters brings enhanced photo editing features that let it compete with the likes of Snapseed. What hasn't changed is the passionate userbase sharing incredible photos from around the world.
Although my favorite hands down is still (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.system.app.uninstaller) its basically a way for you to uninstall apps from android. Highly recommended adding this to the list too.
I haven't used these apps that you have shared. Perhaps I should get my hands on those two as well. Currently I'm using Weather Mate which provides pretty accurate and reliable weather updates. It has nice features such as interactive weather maps, personal weather stations, weather history, travel planner, severe weather alerts and plenty more. I'm happy with it but would definitely try those ones as well.
Nova launcher.. worth every second I spent learning how to set up, my first launcher you never forget the first time.... Yahoo like Nova,was my first weather app and tried lot's of alternatives but Yahoo remains my default go to weather cos it works and look's great....
Go android
Everyone who hasn't tried should go try them
They are so fun
Tried a. Bunch of these
Hi, try out this new app. It's called "We're arriving", and it's a location-based alarm manager. The idea is help people that often go to unknown places, or frequently use public transport and enjoy being distracted by a book, music, landscape or take a good nap. Now they can rest assured that the We're arriving will notify them when entering the alarm trigger area. Check it out at play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.acacio.jatachegandotrial
Thanks for sharing this article. Mobility has become a global phenomenon. Will share this link in my social networks.
I've been using a few of these from quite some time. I must say you've got many areas covered. There's just one suggestion I'd like to make. Though it's pretty new, you must still give it a go. You'd surprised pleasantly as I was. It's a music player named Solo Music Player. It won't be wrong to say that it's among the most beautiful android apps I've ever seen. It is too good to be missed out.
Please don't recommend AVG. It's a mediocre antivirus at best, and they've recently come out and flat out told people they were going to sell their personal info to make up for the fact they're using a free AV. If anything, an AV like Avast, F-Secure, Trend Micro or Webroot would be a much better suggestion.
What an awesome list! A lot of these are already my favorites so I trust your taste and I have several of the recommendations downloading as I type. I've been using Smart Launcher for a few years now and won't use anything else. Same with Swiftkey keyboard which I will put aside for now to test out your recommendation of Flesky. Always gotta try new apps and make sure your favorites aren't outdated ideas that have been improved on by someone else. Usually when I try to find articles like this, I find ones that are simply people being paid to promote an app. This list seems like legit research has gone into it and honest opinion. Great work!

Since today morning this is my second post on the same topic and i just want to tell that if you can not believe yourself, no other people will ever trust you.
Thanks for sharing this motivational and inspiring post and I would love to copy few of the content to write in my personal diary.
Wave calendar app is a great choice for a calendar
Did not suggest an Android transfer app. Wireless transfer your staff to PC , like AirMore. A free and utility app.
Catsup - Ask the world, anonymously. A great free app for questions you can't.
I suggest Camera MX as camera app. For people who are not into tons of vintage filters it also free (like 360)
Search for Pronounce IT app by APPortunity on playstore. Its a really amazing application!
Ask any questions to this app which is world's first answering engine The Light App . The app gives answers to any of ur questions from the web and from experts saving your time which you spend on the net searching for answers
Well, I'm a 62-years young (to you, "an old fart") relative newcomer to smart phones, so I appreciate your site and your articles. How about some tips on apps to stay away from?
Thanx!
I've never saw or read a review on the CM apps (cheetah mobile), I've got all of them, the CM launcher, Browser and lock apps and love them all

Try the 'Everyday Calculation' app. It could easily be the best calculator for productivity
Pay store
I suggest Weigh-In Deluxe is very useful !
Great article
I am going to try out some of these new apps. I'm a 58 year old woman and phone scares me I have a galaxy 4. I am excited about but I decided to try out except for PLENTY OF FISH. POF. I found so many scammers. But, that I know about and can pick them out right away.
But, I love all the tips you give. Helps to know if you are using the app right.
Thanks,
Nola
I suggest DroidSms, is very useful and well designed
This is a cool list. Though I don't agree so much with VLC player. Though it's an awesome player, I like MX player a lot better.
Thanks for sharing Scott Adam Gordon
David tmo galaxy s5 on lollipop 5.1.1 will not send text messages. Need [email protected]
It's t mobile not the phone. I was having the same issue, make sure voice over lte is off and use your default messenger. Call t mobile if it keeps happening after that
Great post. Thanks. But nothing new.
Helpful. Thanks
same old crap being repeated again and again and again
For me it's SnoozySound it allows you to stream and to download music and relaxing nature sounds for free and mix them together.
UniQ Mobile Finder is the best android application to save your stolen smartphone and protect your personal info from unwelcome intruders.
stop ur marketing
Lotus, may be he is marketing but it is a great app. Thanks Aditya, for for posting your comment, great to know about this new app.
lotus you just shut up please. i think that's a best app who are you to stop me expressing my feelings. btw I saw here someone commented about that app and downloaded and found it useful.
Mr. Editor. It was really nice to know about the information you have shared and all of this information was helpful too. But i have a querry. It keeps bugging me about safety of the android devices when it comes to using a third party app or an app store. So how do you justify that your suggestion to use an alternate for "google play store" called "slide me" will have no breach which would affect the users? I want to use it but since i am more conscious with the security issues, i am asking you this. Hope you don't mind. Please reply with your valuable suggestions.
TubeMate gives multiple warnings about there being virus-laden versions out there on the 'Net, and to download it from a reputable source. I had used it before, downloaded from the app store at Amazon. But the last time I updated the app, it asked me to please log into my Google account, which it had never done before. So, already it didn't feel right. I typed maybe one or two characters of my Google password, when I noticed that my password text was completely visible (i.e. it was a cleartext form field). This was clearly a sign of phishing, as the true Google login always masks the password text with asterisks. I immediately exited the app and uninstalled it. My advice: be very careful downloading from third party sources. If you do use them, carefully read reviews and comments, and pay attention to the app's behavior. If something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. Uninstall.
play store
Full Battery Alarm Pro is an android app developed by Replay Creation which sounds an alarm once the battery is fully charged so that user can unplug the charger cable to avoid overcharging.

I have been using Swype keyboard for a long time now. Its auto correct feature makes it faster than using the predictive text feature of SwiftKey. It works very well with fat fingers too! LOL
Please link ANDROIDPITTRIPLE100XONEHUNDREDPAY
Uniq mobile finder is a great app and deserve to be in the list because of its stunning features for getting back the lost or stolen mobile phone.
I haven’t tried most of the stuff on your list. But I recently downloaded this app called GrabPoints and so far I’m liking it. They have lots of offers in a day and the surveys aren’t long. Points given out are quite high and they’re fair about giving the points. Oddly enough they always give out points on their social media accounts too! hahaha! Anyway here’s my invite code: S6FMAC you get 50PTS right away for using it. If you download GRABPOINTS you get 1$ just for signing up. You guys have to try it.
Musicxmatch is also a good app for music lovers
I'll take cheetah over dolphin any day & while it's not for everyone, Novakey is the best keyboard.
Android apps are just amazing and they are a big help in our daily lifestyle especially in the technology and entertainment aspect.
I think there needs to be a category for best Android wear app.

I am using proofhub these days to manage my work. It's the best android app I have used for my work. I'd suggest you guys to check it out as well.
Where is "UNIQ MOBILE FINDER" in the list, Its one of the best app people must have in their android device. Using which people never lost their phone again. You can save your stolen smartphone and protect your personal info from unwelcome intruders. Must use app.
Its newly launched application but I loved it so much and its really having great features like taking intruders photo, video, phone location, tracking the phone and having almost all features to get back your lost mobile phone. other than that it has other features like get the contact backup in your mail, send the intruder details through SMS if you dont have internet connection and triggers the alarm if anybody move the phone without you knowledge. Its created by a small kid from India and hope its going to be one of best application in android market. Hope to see the some unique app also on the list soon.
UNIQ MOBILE FINDER is a great app to get back your lost or stolen mobile. It has really cool features. Its one of the best app every android device should have. This is going to be one of the most popular app in market soon.
Thanks Subramanian and Rupa. After I saw your comment I downloaded the app.
UNIQ MOBILE FINDER is deserve to be in this list. I totally agree with you.
Just wondering why there are no money making apps here? I'd like to suggest GrabPoints it's relatively new but it's a great contender to beat the outstanding SwagBucks reign. UX and UI is very streamlined and well thought of. Now they're beginning to be very active on social media giving out points all the time. Use my promocode when you check it out and you get 50PTS right off the bat: S6FMAC
Why there is no ArkMC, a streaming media center. Multi-functional application with YouTube streaming. Maybe you need not to choose only by the ratings, but by a try yourself.
Well, there are too many apps that are missing in this article. For example Mailwise - An Android email exchange app that can help you Sync your mail account for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, Outlook, Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL, GMX, Live.com, MSN, Gmail and even IMAP in seconds.
Robert you are correct. There are many applications who deserves to be in the list. Mailwise is a great app and it should be in the list of best app. And at the same time UNIQ MOBILE FINDER, A great concept by a small kid who deserve to be in the list because of his excellence. Awesome application.
Wow it's amazing and perfect. Best video app it's awesome.
You can also add Noom Coach to the fitness club. It has got a brilliant look and is too well organized. And what about CM Security? it does more than what you want it to do. Its time to refresh your list by adding the new apps :P
Cools apps loved the Magic Locker Main app !! I discovered one more cool app which saves alot of my time when I want to find something on the net . The app acts as an expert and finds answer to any of the questions you ask from the net and comes back with in moments with a exact or usable answer saving lot of my timing which i spend on the net searching for answers. The app is named TheLightApp check out its vid on youtube or www.thelightapp.com
Check Unique Widgets, it really worth to be in the list
You MUST checkout TapIt Launcher. Lets you Tap the back of your phone to perform actions. Makes life better :)
I think that the Chrome is the best browser for Android, not the Dolphin browser.
WhatsApp phone update were is it I have the latest version but I can't receive the phone update.
I now have the phone, The WhatsApp is great. Thanks to the people that helped.
these are really good apps
so ...after seeing that dolphin browser in this article there is no need to complete reading this ... I think it's a joke or just kinda of beginner class article cause when you ignore Firefox browser or chrome you must be kidding us
isnt it WAY TOO EARLY no matter from which perspective to rate the best <insert something here> of 2015???
I was going to say that myself. They can't even say best anything of 2015 Q1
This is true as well...
But ganes and such call themselves game of the year or whatever despite it sometimes even being January...
Or what I already heard "the best whatever of the Millennium or the century" i mean seriously, WTF?
Messenger apps makes communication easier and better. They are a must download for easy keeping in touch with your family and friends.
I'd recommend Pixel Dungeon or Swipurr cat gallery
Look for WWTUNER in Play Store.
The best Android radio player!
Does somebody if Poweramp is compatible with uFXloops? uFXloops is my favourite music creation app, but it has no EQ.
Camera360 Ultimate gives you the perfect and most flawless picture. You can also edit it according to your style and taste as it features are diverse.
I use Playerpro for my music, it has everything I need (edit, ID3 tags, multi EQ, customised sound settings etc, etc). I would highly recommend it, also X-plore file Manager is a must have!
I have had Poweramp of all of my phones for years and just won't use anything else. At sometime though you have to pay for it so be prepared.
I'm sick of reading about how good power amp is and me not having it. Time to get it I think
Try jair player
