Android apps you can trust for
productivity and infotainment
Check out the
smart applications your mobile device is probably missing
Whether
you are new to Android or a long time
enthusiast, Google Play Store’s catalogue of 3.5 million apps can be
intimidating. While there are many excellent apps that you should consider
trying, covering everything from entertainment to information to productivity
and more, here is a list of essentials we believe you simply can’t do without.
LastPass
Free
Most of us are bad at creating
passwords, and we are bad at remembering things. Thankfully, there are password
managers like LastPass. When you need to log in, LastPass fills in the correct
information for you. LastPass also securely stores your personal information so
you can quickly fill out those tedious forms when you are signing up for a
service. It includes a way to safely share passwords with other people, even
after you have left this world.
Comixology
Comics
Free
Getting to the few remaining comic
book stores in the US is a hassle, as is storing all of your bagged-andboarded
treasures. But Comics is an excellent app from digital comics groundbreaker
Comixology where you can browse the seemingly endless lists of titles and then
buy new books with a tap. The Comixology Unlimited feature gives
all-you-canread access for $5.99 a month.
Evernote
Free, plans
begin at $34.99 per month
Evernote is your list keeper, note
taker, voice recorder, todo manager, webpage clipper, and all-around digital
multi-tool. It’s overwhelming at first, but you will quickly find a number of
ways to put it to good use. One of the popular features is optical character
recognition (OCR), which makes text in photos searchable.
NordVPN
Free, plans
begin at $3.29 per month
When you connect to a public WiFi
network, it’s possible that nefarious individuals could be intercepting all of
your information. That’s why virtual private networks are so important, and
NordVPN is among the best. Other fun tricks you can do with a VPN? Hiding your
IP address from advertisers and accessing region-locked content.
Pocket Casts
$3.99
Podcasts are a great way to catch
up with the news, learn more about a subject, or listen to entertaining stories.
The sleek and highly customisable Pocket Casts is the perfect companion for
chilling out with an episode of your favourite show. The app can also sync your
audio across different devices, so that you can pick up where you left off. It
is never a bad time to get hooked on a podcast.
Snapseed
Free
Google-owned Snapseed straddles
the line between fullfledged image editor and filter app, all in a sleek and
attractive package. Best of all is the amount of control it gives you over how
filters and effects are applied to your images. It even lets you make
non-destructive edits to RAW files and fine-tuned adjustments to exposure and
detail levels. For creative mobile photographers, it’s an excellent option.
