Recommend any Android Apps?

Spring Onion · 2014-01-23 16:33:09

I have a HTC for over a year and I have only downloaded one app - Angry Birds. What other apps would you recommend? What am I missing out on? Thrill me with your acumen.

What do you like?

Apps fall in to a few categories for me.

1. Quick way of browsing a favourite website - Twitter, Facebook, BBC News, Journal.ie, Skyscanner
2. Aggregator apps - Apps that gather lots of information on a favourite subject - FotMob football app, Flixter
3. Games - Sudoku, Escape the Room etc.
4. Useful applications - Keep, Simple MP3 Downloader, Barcode Scanner, WiFi Auto Turn Off, ES File Explorer

So do a search based on the above criteria and you'll find a few good ones that suit your preferences.

Bubble shoot. Great for the boredom and easy on the battery. Tunein radio for the radio and hailo for getting a taxi provided you're in one of the places where it works.

Not sure really. I doubt I will play games much.

Just apps that make my life easier I suppose.

I do like weather and maps. Will try those.

Ridiculous Fishing is one of the best games on the store at the moment.
Also love Spelltower and Organ Trail.
Love using Feedly to gather up news.
Skyscanner good for checking up flights (and dreaming)
Sleeptime can be great as an alarm and to roughly figure out your sleeping pattern.
Duolingo great for learning a new language for free.
Whatsapp and Viber of course.
