Android Apps I Can't Live Without!

Okay, so the title is a little dramatic; it's not that bad ;)...  But I sure would miss them a lot! Click on the name of the app to go directly to the Play Store link.

I use the Apex Launcher as the default launcher app. I have found it to be classy and extremely capable.


Home screen:

This is a beautiful, beautiful alarm clock. And I love the simple widget. Use my code: 0M7J-4JH1-7AB8 to earn two free points.

Yahoo Weather:
I love the minimalist look of the 1x1 widget of this app. The weather details are very accurate.

Brilliant Quotes:
I always liked quotations; so I have this widget on my home screen too.

Screen 2:

Any Do:
The best to-do manager with THE best interface around, in my opinion.

Contact shortcuts:
The remaining items on this screen are contact shortcuts. A nice pretty picture of my closest and dearest people for quick dialing and messaging... I don't use the "Direct Dial" or "Direct Message" option, just the "Contact" shortcut.

Screen 3:

Jorte Calendar:
My favorite calendar app; what's more it syncs with my Google calendar. Might have tried out the Google Calendar app, but it does not have a good monthly view, which is what I need.

Screen 4:

Google Now:
This screen is fully used up by the Google Now widget. I love the way Now predicts a lot of things. Personally, the privacy issues don't bother me much either, as long as I am given relevant info right when I need it!

Other Apps:

RealCalc:
For a while, I had gone back to my studies. I use this calculator when I need the scientific help; otherwise, I go with the stock calculator.

Out of Milk:
I use this one to keep stock of available items at home and also as a running shopping list. I have tried quite a few shopping list apps and zeroed it on this one at the end.

Yahoo Folder:
This folder holds my two favorite Yahoo apps, Yahoo Messenger and Yahoo! Mail.

Google Folder:
This folder holds my most frequently used Google apps, GMail, Keep, Google+, Hangouts, Maps, Translate and Play Books.

Facebook:
The official Facebook app is another one I use occasionally ;)

Google Search Bar:
The Google search bar is also included in this screen.

Play Music:
This app has a good interface, but I don't like the fact that I cannot see my music folder-wise.

MX Player:
An excellent video player.

Pixlr Express:
A very good image editor. I often use it to play around with my pics.

Snapseed: 
This is also a very good image editor. I use it less often though.

CamScanner:
I use this very often to scan my favorite articles, pics, documents, anything at all.

Ted:
This app gives quick access to Ted Conferences and Talks. An nice way to keep myself updated.

WordWeb:
A good dictionary and it works offline.

NewsHunt:
This app shows up all local papers in India, and I believe this is an easy way for Indians to keep up with the home news.

Clean Master:
I trust this app to keep my mobile clean.

Flipboard:
I love the magazines for both their content and beauty.

Your Magnifier:
I installed this to use as a magnifying glass, should the need arise.

Tiny Flashlight:
Again, installed this in case I need it some day.

TubeMate:
It allows to download videos to your mobile. I use it occasionally if the net speeds are too slow for offline watching. Be careful, though. This app is not available in Play Store.

YouTube:
Well, like all of u out there, I too love this one.

Astro File Manager:
I use this file manager. This one can also work with Google Drive, Dropbox etc...

Google Drive:
Quite indispensable in my work. Keep sharing docs between my home PC and office PC.

Wallpaper Changer:
I use this software to rotate my wallpapers regularly. Neat app. Does what it says well.

And the absolutely indispensable games..........

Dots:
A beautiful and addictive hit game!

WordKick:
The goal is to change one four-letter word into another four-letter word by changing only one letter at the time. Very good indeed!

One Touch Drawing 2:
The challenge: Draw given unique shapes without raising your finger. The problem: You cannot draw the same line twice. A very addictive puzzle game.

Hangman Classic:
When I am in a mood for the classic word puzzle game.

Jigsaw Puzzles:
This game has 4 game modes: regular jigsaw, shuffle, swap, rotate.

Diamond Blast:
My daughter simply loves this one!

Classic Words Free:
Still learning the ropes of this game.

Minesweeper Classic:
The classic game for all time.

Snake '97:
Pure nostalgia! A remake of the original Snake.

Word Search:
The best Word Search game. Love it!


Try these wonderful apps and as always, do comment on your favorites too...
