Appears daily on the app market a large number of new programs. Apps for devices running the Android operating system, however, occupy a significant share, partly due to the fact that it allows you to implement more functions on it compared to other platforms.

So that you do not get lost among the huge variety, website made a review of the most useful applications for Android, which are really worthy of attention and place in your mobile device.

Saving web pages for reading

There are plenty of messaging services out there. The popular Viber, iMessage and Telegram have also been joined by Facebook Messenger, whose audience has already exceeded 200 million users. It features a minimalistic design and excellent functionality: in addition to sending text messages, the application allows you to share photos, audio recordings and videos, as well as make and receive calls.

Alarm

Waking up in the morning is not easy for anyone. We all, of course, set the alarm clock on right time, but as soon as it starts ringing, we postpone the call again and again with the usual movement. The Puzzle Alarm Clock application, available on Android devices, will help you overcome this addiction. To turn off the melody, it offers several options for action: solving puzzles, mathematical problems, unpleasant flickering of the flash, and, for especially difficult cases, a fine for each change in the alarm time!

Physical activity

Activity tracking services are gaining popularity. So Google launched its Google Fit application, which allows you to collect the activity statistics you need and monitor all indicators using sensors. The program keeps track of how much you have walked, run or cycled and counts calories burned.

Increase Productivity

If you're familiar with the concept of procrastination, the Focus Lock app for Android can help you be more productive. It allows you to temporarily block all "harmful" applications that distract and prevent you from concentrating on an important matter. All that is required of you is to set time intervals for work and rest, and the program itself will give a signal when you have the opportunity to use the blocked services. When you try to launch a prohibited application, nothing will work for you, and you will not be able to remove the lock in Focus Lock itself. For some, such a cardinal method can be a salvation.

Application sync

The great IFTTT automation app is now available on Android. The service allows you to save your time by creating links between actions in different applications. For example, you can duplicate all the photos you add to Instagram on Twitter, or save files received by mail to Dropbox. There are a huge number of recipes, you can find ready-made ones in the application, or you can create your own.

Weather

Now Android device owners can use Yahoo's amazing weather app! - Yahoo Weather. It features one of the most beautiful interfaces: beautiful photos from Flickr are selected for each city and weather. In addition to the air temperature, there are also animated data on the strength of the wind, a map of the city, the phase of the moon and the current position of the sun.

Convenient calendar

Users mobile devices Android users can use a variety of apps to organize their day. It can be either a full-fledged calendar planned for months in advance, or a simple to-do list containing just a list of tasks. Accomplish combines both of these approaches: you can drag tasks directly from your to-do list onto your calendar and schedule when it's convenient for you to do each task.

Organization of time

Another useful application that allows you to plan and organize your time. MyLifeOrganized will become your personal secretary, who is constantly by your side, keeps a to-do list and reminds you of the need to complete them in time. Tasks can be combined into groups and the dependence of the implementation of some tasks on the execution of others can be established. There is even an option to specify the location where the reminder should work (for example, remind you to buy batteries when you are in the store).

Learning new words

If you are tired of your usual routine, the cool Shuffle My Life app will help you overcome boredom and bring a little spontaneity to your every day. The application will offer you to complete one of the random tasks, of which there are currently more than four hundred. For example, take a photo of five unusual objects on the way to work, read a new book, or write a speech on an arbitrary topic and record it on a voice recorder. The program controls the execution of tasks, so do not try to cheat.

Task manager

Greetings my dear readers! AT Google Play Store has a great variety of applications and their number is growing at an unrealistic rate every day, how to navigate through them and identify the best? I'll try to make a list best android applications. I will try to make everything as structured as possible and categorized for better navigation.

No matter what you're looking for, this collection is sure to have the app you're looking for. Enjoy reading and let us know if, in your opinion, the selection is not complete enough and some applications are unfairly not included in this TOP.

Last year, you really liked the article about, it's time to make a similar TOP and about applications (and if you want to run them on a computer, then you know what to do). I won’t use emulators - we’ll run everything on a smartphone and test it, so don’t worry about being up to date ... everything has been personally tested on a live device and I can guarantee the full functionality of all the programs on today’s list.

Android interface customization

About change android interface users usually think when they have been using their smartphone for a long time and the soul requires changes, at least in the external design of the system. So the question arises, what are the interesting applications for Android that perform customization of appearance.

I repeat that I selected the list of programs to my taste and the opinion is purely subjective ... but I tried to listen to the opinions of my friends and did not use completely unknown programs - they are all very popular on Google Play and highly appreciated by users

Pixel Icon Pack

It's no secret that the flagship of the corporation of goodness is Google Pixel received a unique interface, so it was a matter of time to wait for icons and design from this device. Meet Pixel Icon Pack. In my opinion one of the nicest icon packs (there are many more collections, but only free ones from Pixel)

The screenshots below show appearance after activating the icons and design - as for me it looks great, the smartphone interface has changed completely.

To apply this icon pack, you need to install it and in the application menu next to "Pixel Icon Pack" click "Apply", do not pay attention to the English interface, in the menus themselves everything will be Russified. However, there is one small but, to install this set of graphics, you need a third-party launcher ... the list of supported ones is quite large, I used Apex Launcher for testing (just click on the name and click the Install button)

I really liked this set of resources and I can recommend it to everyone who is tired of the boring and boring appearance of the interface of their smartphone

Next Lock Screen

When I was the owner Nokia Lumia 920 I really liked the lock screen on Windows phone (especially the Bing pictures that changed every day). Unfortunately, this device no longer covered my needs and we had to leave, but I still have nostalgia for Lumiya's Lock Screen. What was my surprise when I learned that Microsoft itself released an application for the Green Robot, which allows you to see this screen on my Android device.

After launch, you need to set permissions for the application, in general, everything is intuitive - a good alternative standard screen blocking.

Of course it's not exact copy with Windows Phone, but the main features are preserved. In general, a strange trend, Microsoft scored on their devices, but they release software for a third-party platform of competitors

SwiftKey Keyboard

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of input methods in your smartphone, because we are faced with typing every day. If you are not satisfied with the standard android keyboard, that is, the choice is SwiftKey Keyboard and you will never return to the stock keyboard.

What's the point? is a customizable interface and themes. You can choose the location of the buttons yourself, whether to display digital block on the screen and at what moments to do it, well, choose from hundreds of various topics decoration to your liking. There should be no problems with the installation, quite understandable prompts pop up that will show where you need to poke your finger.

Apparently I have become so old that I have no desire to use third-party keyboards and I prefer to stay on stock from Android

Browsers

List the best programs for android will not be complete if you do not consider the most interesting browsers in my opinion. Modern smartphone is simply useless without the internet at the present time, namely the browser shows us the contents of the world wide web.

Looking ahead, I would like to warn you that it is simply impossible to describe absolutely all web browsers - this is Dolphin Browser or Puffin, they are all slowly losing their popularity and they can be found less and less on mobile devices.

Yandex.Browser - with protection

You can scold Yandex for a very long time for the policy of distributing Yandex Browser to computers, but for Android the application came out just fine - I can recommend it to everyone and use it myself. All thanks to the fast and stable operation of the browser, and the feed will help you find interesting information when you want to look at something, but you don’t know exactly what.

I really like that the search line is at the bottom, it is very convenient as the owner of a 5.5-inch device ... on the same Google Chrome or Firefox, they are at the top and you have to take the phone in two hands or try to reach this element with your finger.

Fast Firefox browser

I use a browser on my computer Mozilla Firefox as the main one, so I decided to add it to our TOP. To be honest, I'm a little disappointed ... on the computer to score a couple of tabs of 5-6 gigs random access memory he doesn’t give a damn, but as it turned out, the fox also slows down on android in comparison with the same Yandex Browser. Otherwise, everything is fine, maybe updates will fix the performance problem.

In Firefox, I liked the organization of work with tabs and convenient customizable start screen browser. However, if you have a sufficiently productive smartphone, then this browser may appeal to you - I do not recommend owners of ultrabudgets.

Just a good and interesting web browser, definitely worth a look... who knows, maybe it will become the main one for you

Google Chrome: fast browser

Scratching a note about the best apps for Android and not mentioning Google Chrome would be a crime. The most popular browser for Andryusha, but historically it didn’t work out for me. I sat on the Fox all my life, and then I discovered Yandex.Browser ... I’ll leave the link just in case, and with a high probability it is already installed on your smartphone.

Overall nothing special, just mobile version one of best browsers for a personal computer on the Chromium engine.

An excellent browser from Android developers, but there is no chip in it or something ... something is missing to use it

UC Browser - UC Browser

Probably one of the best browsers, which is more relevant than ever since the leadership of Nokia and Symbiam ... oh, nostalgia. However, surprisingly, the browser on the new platform just feels great and has a fairly rich functionality.

Pleasant Homepage, powerful ad blocker, smooth interface, night mode- this is just a drop in the wide possibilities of a web browser, I can definitely recommend installing it on a smartphone.

UC Browser is not only a browser, it is also a huge number of services available from the program menu

File managers

A huge advantage of Google's operating system is its open file system, so there are many interesting file managers for Android in the store, now we will try to find out which ones deserve your attention.

ES Explorer

I think many will agree with me if I say that ES File Explorer is one of the best applications for android. True, the functionality has long gone beyond simple file manager- over the years it has grown very much, but this did not greatly affect performance ... everything works as always quickly and without any problems.

What is so interesting about this conductor? - First of all, support for ZIP and RAR archives is important to me, since almost none of the stock ones can do this. When the program starts, we will find out that ES Explorer can search all types of files on your device and it does it in real time - let's go directly to the application itself.

The picture below shows that you can use both the new menu and the familiar standard structure of files and folders. A place analyzer has appeared in the program, which will tell you what is large and superfluous lies in the depths of your phone and crushes the free space on the drive. Of course in free version there is unobtrusive advertising, but it is quite possible to put up with this given the available functionality.

I tried to analyze the free space of my phone and you can see the result below, and in the picture on the right, I was able to enter without any problems network folder on the home computer- at home via Wi Fi you can watch movies over the network, conveniently.

MK Explorer

If for some reason you didn’t have a stock file manager, and you don’t need other functionality than browsing folders and copy / paste, the MK Explorer application would be an excellent solution. The program is insanely simple and practically does not take up space in the device's memory.

As in ES Explorer, there is the ability to browse both by category and a standard file manager with direct access to the file system.

If you don’t require much from the file manager, MK Explorer will be more than ever useful for you.

Social networks and messengers

If a couple of years ago the primary purpose of smartphones was calls, then in 2017 everything has changed dramatically. Currently, calls have faded into the background, and social networks and instant messengers have come to the fore - well, most smartphones are not bought to make calls, the main thing is that VKontakte works stably and you can call or send a message via Whats App.

In contact with

The undisputed leader in the Russian market is certainly Vkontakte, probably almost every smartphone has a client of this social network. There are a huge number of unofficial applications, but we will consider the most popular. So what's so interesting about it?

I think many will agree with me that the consistency of such clients is a functionality that is fully implemented and can repeat everything that is on the computer version. In general, if you do not dig very deep, then all daily activities can be done from your smartphone without touching the computer.

Viber

Another interesting application for your Android smartphone is the Viber messenger. I did not use it for a long time until I persuaded my mother to switch from push-button telephone on an android device. As it turned out, she had many acquaintances abroad, and after Skype on a computer, they all almost migrated to Viber and were satisfied.

Excellent application design, intuitive interface… animated stickers and other goodies bribe many users and it makes no sense to use competing solutions… but with the main task (these are calls and messages via the Internet) the application makes it easy and without any problems.

Almost all instant messengers are similar to each other - my advice: use the application that is more common in your circle

whats app

The pioneer among Internet messengers was, of course, Whats App. Somehow, historically, it didn’t work out for me with him, maybe it’s just that the bulk of my friends are on VK and there was simply no need to install Whats App ... however, it’s stupid to deny that this application very interesting and does a great job.

Verdict? — An excellent internet messenger not overloaded with useless functionality, nothing superfluous… what else do you need?

Telegram

Thanks to Roskomnadzor Telegram messenger became very popular in Russia - the brainchild of Pavel Durov ... messages in which no one will be able to read thanks to modern methods encryption directly on the device itself, and not on the program's servers.

Otherwise, everything is like everyone else, however, there are various groups and channels, which is a little more functional than analogues ... however, there is no Russian language, but this is a small problem - it's not worth the trouble to figure it out.

Unlike Viber and VKontakte, Telega has a huge collection of free stickers- for many, this can be a big plus in choosing their main application

Maps and navigation

If not so long ago only top-end devices were equipped with GPS sensors for a lot of money, now satellite navigation is probably even in the most budget Android device ... and there are many for navigation interesting programs for OS from Google Corporation.

Yandex.Maps - search for places and navigator

As for me, the standard for the Russian Federation is the Yandex.Maps application. Why such a choice? - My city is not in the same 2 Gis, and Yandex is full of organizations, and the presence of a people's map makes it simply mandatory to install.

I recommend that you familiarize yourself with all Yandex products - there are a lot of interesting and useful things there ... for example, Yandex.Transport will tell you bus routes, which will be very useful for navigating in an unfamiliar city

2GIS: reference book and navigator

If you choose an application for orientation in large cities, then probably the best choice will become 2GIS. He helped me a lot to navigate in Samara, everything works smartly and support for offline mode is implemented. On the map, you can see not only the streets and house numbers, but there is also the opportunity to look into shopping centers and see the location of the pavilions inside.

The application works quite fast and has a huge database of organizations with easy navigation - everything is on business and nothing more.

However, as I already said, there are no small towns on the list and my native Buzuluk is not here - this obviously cannot be written down as an advantage of an android application

Multimedia applications

A modern smartphone without multimedia capabilities is practically useless. Quite often, the stock video player and gallery do not have the necessary functionality, but to our delight, there are developments by third-party programmers that make a worthy alternative to standard applications.

What to say about music, in a century high speed internet and affordable distribution of audio albums, you can not download to your phone - everything works great in online mode with human sorting, names and covers (I remember before I bothered with tags, looking for album covers - now it's all available online and does not take up space on the device at all)

Photo and video

A standard video player is only good when there is nothing else ... but there are a lot of interesting alternative programs in the android world, and if it comes to multimedia, then here in general put out the light Let's try to figure out what is worthy of your attention.

VLC media player

Surely many people are familiar with this player on regular computer, I want to assure you - everything is fine with the android version, no one spoiled this player and it can be safely recommended for installation.

If you often watch videos on your device, then VLC should be your default media player. In its arsenal, support for a huge number of file types and incredibly convenient management on touch screen, and many applications from the big brother cannot boast of this.

VLC already dominates on personal computers, and this mobile app firmly positions it as the best in the mobile sector

MX Player

Probably a couple of years ago, I would have called it the best video player, but nowadays, compared to competitors, it has too complicated settings and there are difficulties with installing codecs ... it achieves all this with the presence of ads in the free version. I understand that developers want to eat, but there are alternatives on the market without it.

Compared to VLC, I didn’t really like the controls, but it’s more like an amateur. I'm not saying that the player is bad, it's incredibly good, but I convey my sympathy to the competing software.

Pay attention to the Software and Hardware decoders - play around with the settings, this way you can improve the smoothness of playback and significantly save battery power

Piktures - Photo Gallery

If for some reason you don't like standard application"Gallery", then try the alternative in the face of Piktures (no, I didn't misspell the word).

An intuitive and clear application for android that will make organizing your gallery more convenient and viewing photos easier.

For many, the function of sorting by calendar or setting a PIN code to enter the gallery will be useful, this is much more functional than the stock application

Music

Many people cannot imagine themselves without music, so I decided to present you a couple of interesting applications for Android to diversify your collection and bring you closer to music.

Yandex.Radio - music online

If before it seemed online radio this is something incomprehensible and why is it needed when there is the usual ... but now Yandex.Radio is one of the best music applications for android. We choose a genre or mood and enjoy the music selected for us - songs can be skipped, this gives an advantage over conventional radio stations ... we always have a choice - listen to this song or not

There is also Yandex.Music, but I don’t include it in the top due to the fact that it is paid ... but this is one of the applications for which I bought a subscription, from now on it makes no sense to look for songs on the Internet at all - everything is available online and in excellent quality .

You can use Yandex.Radio on your computer without any problems - these are all standard Yandex services and everything is available directly from the browser on their website

Google Play Music

When Google gave away 3 months of free use of them Google service Play Music, then the inner Jew woke up in me and I purchased a subscription. Even though it came out for free to me, but after using Yandex.Music, I still couldn’t switch to the Google service ... however, it’s not just here, if you haven’t used any of these programs yet, you might like Google Music more.

I really didn’t like the lack of rewinding tracks in the application, although this feature is present in the browser version… and the interface as a whole is not very clear, but it’s more of a matter of habit…

As I understand it, Google launched this service for Russia not so long ago, so in the future we are waiting for improvements and replenishment of the collection of tracks (Hopefully it gets better with updates).

Results and information for reflection

Friends, it was very difficult for me to write a note about the best applications for Android - I installed all this on my phone, tested it, took screenshots and tried to find the pros and cons of each of the programs. I understand that you can still add applications with the weather, shopping in online stores and many other wonderful applications here.

I'm afraid that it's simply unrealistic to describe everything you want, but I tried to present the information to you as detailed and structured as possible ... however, if I really missed worthwhile application- write in the comments, we will definitely add them to our national top of interesting programs for android. All the best!

Every Android tablet owner mostly uses it for the same purposes. This is watching movies, reading the news, surfing the Internet and so on. So I decided to collect all the so-called "must-have" applications that everyone needs in one post. For beginners, I think it will be useful to familiarize yourself with the above list so as not to look for the necessary applications and choose the best through trial and error. I must say right away that we will not talk about games, about them some other time :)

I will try to look at things as objectively as possible and choose an application not only because I like it, but because most users like it. And who does not like the proposed program, pay attention to Alternative option. After describing the main application, I indicate its competitor, you may like it :)

I can't imagine a tablet without Office. Whether you need to cheat on an exam, or show important documents to a colleague, the program will help. She can show and edit files

text formats: DOC, DOCX, RTF, TXT
table formats: XLS, XLSX, CSV
presentation formats: PPT, PPTX, PPS, PPSX
as well as: PDF, EML

In addition, OfficeSuitePro 6 + can open zip archives thanks to the built-in file manager, allows you to transfer the desired document immediately from the application via Wi-Fi Direct, mail or print. Able to work with cloud services GoogleDrive and Dropbox. An excellent bonus is the built-in pdf converter. And it's also cool that the application interface is in Russian.

The program allows you to save and play your text, graphic and voice notes, and to-do/task lists on other devices. It might look something like this: you started writing an article on the road, and then you came home, sat down at the computer, your Evernote account was synchronized, and you can open and continue writing the article that you started writing on the tablet when you were driving home.

Thus, Evernote will not let you forget anything. The program client is available for iOS, Windows, MacOS and many others. There is also an online version.

Personally, I never found a use for Evernote for myself. But many owners of Android devices really liked it. That's why I included it in the article.

I think that I won’t be mistaken if I assume that this situation happens to everyone: you found an interesting web page or video on the Internet, but there is no time to read / watch the material, because you have to go somewhere. And the maximum that you could do in this case is to re-enter the page you are interested in on your tablet on the road, spending not so little money for mobile Internet.

Now everything has become much easier. You simply mark that you want to view this article or video in your browser and it will be downloaded to your tablet. Then, somewhere away from the Internet, you can enjoy the content you need through Pocket. Moreover, without any advertising or unnecessary elements of the site like the navigation menu. You can even without illustrations, it's all customizable.

Well, where without a file manager. FileManager HD is specially designed for tablets and supports all the functions necessary for such software: copy/paste, packing/unpacking archives, searching and transferring files, working with DropBox and GoogleDrive services, there is support for Root rights. It can also play streaming video from the network, has a built-in text editor, swf player, gallery.

In my opinion, the best alternative desktop for Android. And many will agree with me. It comes by default in some custom firmwares, and I liked it so much that now I always put it on any firmware.

It can be a lot, it's impossible to count everything. If you're tired of the standard bare-bones Android 4.X (which doesn't work on Android 2.X and 3.X), just try Apex Launcher or its alternative, they're pretty much the same.

Awesome video player with hardware decoding. Can play all the most popular video formats, including subtitles. Adapted for multi-core devices. Easily control brightness, volume, rewind and zoom with gestures during video playback. Average rating of MX Player by users in the Google Play store: 4.7 out of 5.
