Top 10 Best Android Apps 2013
TOP 10 BEST ANDROID APPS 2013
With such a wide selection of apps available for your
Android device, we’ve narrowed down the top 10…
Free
The best notetaking application for mobile devices bar none,
3banana adds shortcuts to the contextsensitive long-press action in many apps,
enabling
you to clip content from web pages or emails into notes. It also
integrates with your camera app, meaning that you can take a photo then add a
caption or note to remember why you were taking it in the first
place. A home screen widget only adds to
the fun.
2.
ADOBE READER
FREE
If
your phone comes without the basic ability to read PDF documents then your
ability to use it for true productivity is hindered. Thanks to Adobe you can
add this functionality with the new official Adobe Reader app. It’s nicely
designed with plenty of usability flourishes, including support for multitouch
(although it can be a little slow when handling large or complex files).
3. SECRETS
Free
It’s important to keep some of the information you store on your
smartphone locker away. With Secrets – an app straight from Google – you can do
exactly that. It stores passwords, credit card logins, PIN numbers and other
information, all securely protected and easy to back up as well.
4. DOCUMENTS TO GO
$29.99
A must-have for anyone looking to use their phone
in the workplace.
Giving your Android device the ability to view and edit Word and Excel documents while retaining the formatting is
essential for any business user, and Documents To Go –
already well established on other mobile platforms –
is the best offering around.
5.FEEDR
$1.99
RSS feeds are an easy way to keep up to
date with the latest posts on your favourite sites without needing to check each site individually. FeedR is a classy app designed for this purpose – it can manage countless feeds
and update them on
a
schedule that suits your usage. Stories can be viewed within the app, or opened
up in the browser for the full web
experience.
6.HELIXLAUNCHER
FREE
One of the strengths of the Android system is
the way you can customise it any way you want, even so far as completely
replacing the home screens. With HelixLauncher you can replace your existing
launcher with
up to seven new home screens, add new widgets and even tweak the layout of the
screens so you can fit five app and shortcut icons on a single row. A delight for
tweakers.
7.SKYFIRE
FREE
SkyFire
shouldn’t be seen as a replacement for the built-in Android web browser
(although it can be set as your default browser), but as a companion for it. SkyFire’s
big strength is its ability to play web video
from
virtually any site, with a handy notification icon jumping out every time you open a page
with supported content on it.
8.
GOOGLE EARTH
FREE
It’s
big, so make sure you have enough memory on your device to squeeze it in, but
it is also undeniably impressive. Essentially the same app you get
on
your desktop with a spectacular 3D view of the world, Google Earth
on
Android is enhanced with a full multitouch experience. An amazing
example
of what a smartphone is capable of.
9.GOOGLE SKYMAP
FREE
One of
the best ways to show off the capabilities of your phone. Point SkyMap towards
the sky and it shows you which stars, planets or constellations you are looking
at. Of minimal practical value,
apart
from to a niche audience, but you’ll marvel at what it does nonetheless.
10. BEYONDPOD
$6.99
With
fast data connections and as much storage as you need on a memory card, an
Android phone makes for an ideal multimedia device. BeyondPod is an
app for downloading audio and video podcasts. It’s a fully featured tool that
enables you to manage what podcasts you download, how and when.
Grab them automatically as new ones are released or get them manually, and then
use the built-in player to play them. There’s also a handy widget, giving you
instant access to your content
without
needing to access the full app.
