Android Application Development: Top 5 Must-Have Android Apps

Author: jayvaliya


The number of things your smartphone can do increases in direct proportion to the number of good applications you have installed in it. This article discusses the five best applications that Android OS users can install in their devices. Android OS has rapidly cornered a large portion of the smartphone market, and Android application development is almost as popular as iPhone application development. Today, Android is the most popular operating system for smartphones and tablets all over the world. Smartphone users are known for their keenness toward apps, and developers around the world are working overtime to create innovative, entertaining and useful apps for Android users.

While most people with smartphones are completely aware of the apps in the market and know what apps they want, there are many new users who cannot really decide upon the right apps for their smartphone. While is almost impossible to choose the five best apps for Android, there are some apps that have cemented their place in the hearts of Android smartphone users. The following are, in my opinion, the five best and most ubiquitous Android apps, and you are not taking full advantage of your phone if your phone does not have these apps.

Google Voice
This is, arguably, the best application for people who use Android smartphones. It is the pride of Android users and the envy of iPhone enthusiasts (iPhone does not allow its subscribers to use the voice version of this app). Using Google Voice you can call a number of different places, access you text messages on the internet, and also hear your voicemail on the internet. On top of this, you can use this app and make calls using your smartphone, and at the same time make it look like you are calling from your Google Voice number. This app shows why android application development is the best!

Pandora
This is the almost-perfect internet streaming radio station for Android users who love music. If you make a habit of using your smartphone as an iPod, this application will bring all your musical fantasies to life. You can create personalized, personal radio stations by entering the names of songs or artists in the search box; Pandora will search for similar artists and play similar songs on the radio station all day long!

Amazon Kindle
If it is reading you are interested in and not music, Amazon Kindle will make it possible for you to read conveniently using your Android smartphone. Reading long texts on your smartphone is never going to be a pleasant experience, but using this app you can read a book anytime you want.

Google Sky Map
Google Maps and Google Satellite are important applications that let you do a number of things, but if you are looking for a fun and entertaining app that lets you understand the night skies, Google Sky Map is made for you. All you need to do is point your smartphone at the sky and the phone will tell you what planet or star you are looking at!

Evernote
This is the best and simplest utility app ever created by an Android application development team. Not only does this app make it easy for you to save any scrap of information in audio or data format, it even lets you search for relevant data and take all kinds of notes. Additionally, this application will also let you synchronize the data with almost all your other machines!
