Hooray! You have become the owner of a real smartphone running the Android operating system. We quickly figured out the standard set of functions, connected Wi-Fi and already tried the Google Play Market to find applications that significantly expand the functionality of the phone. But the number of applications on Google Play has long passed over a million, and it is difficult to choose the really necessary program. Our small list is here to help you solve this problem. All recommended apps are free.
1. CM Security - perhaps the download should be started from this application or its analogue, for example, Kaspersky Internet Security. It is a special program that protects your operating system from viruses and malware. Without good protection on the Internet - nowhere.
2. Call recording function can be useful - if you are in business negotiations or just want to record the voices of relatives. Automatic Call Recorder is perfect for this purpose.
3. For comfortable work on the Internet, you must install a suitable browser. Opera Mini is definitely considered the best browser, but many people prefer the software product from Google.
4. Battery Doctor is an excellent battery saving program. It runs in the background, killing unnecessary processes. In active mode, it helps to assess how much energy certain applications are spending. Moreover, when charging the device, the "doctor" writes how much time is left until a full charge, and with the help of a unique technology "drip charging" increases the battery life.
5. You need Clean Master to clean the OS and app leftovers. It optimizes Android, speeds it up, identifies "garbage" and allows you to remove it with a swipe of your finger. In addition, it allows you to see how much space a particular file or application is taking up.
6. Tiny Flashlight is nothing more than a flashlight. A flash is used as a beam of light. Install this application and you will never be left in the dark!
7. If you like surfing the Internet, you will need a special program Evernote to save useful and interesting links. It is the most versatile and power-hungry in a number of similar applications.
8. For synchronization between "cloud data" - Google or Yandex or some other service - DropBox is perfect. Of course, it can be used to synchronize with a computer or with another device, which is irreplaceable in some situations.
9. SwiftKey Keyboard is positioned by developers as the best alternative keyboard for Android. It's up to you to use it or choose something else. One thing is for sure: the standard keyboard is really inconvenient, and it is better to choose something else with the Flow function - when you type on the keyboard without lifting your finger.
10. Pixlr Express is a great photo editor. In addition to the standard functions of cropping, color correction, etc., it has retouching, blurring, color calibration of the selection and many other special effects.
11. It is better to use MX Player to watch video. It allows you to watch both movies from a flash card and videos on the Internet. Supports subtitles.
12. If you love listening to music, then the doubleTwist Player application is a godsend for you. Perhaps the best alternative to the standard turntable. Allows you to easily sort your music, adjust the equalizer, automatically adjust the volume and a lot of other useful little things.
13. Any. Do is an excellent task scheduler. In fact, there are few planners for Android, and even fewer of high quality ones. It's great for making to-do lists. The done things are easily crossed out with a finger, the upcoming tasks are notified by a bell - and no dancing with a tambourine!
14. If you are a frequenter of social networks, then pay attention to the software products of the corporations Vkontakte and Facebook. They have all the functions of their computer versions.
15. Foursquare is a useful app for those who like to hang out and have fun. It marks hot spots on your map with addresses and routes, how to get there, and comments from visitors. Sometimes this is simply irreplaceable!
