8 Android App Recommendations

Android App RecommendationsSince I am primarily using the Samsung Galaxy SIII phone and the Galaxy 10.1 tablet now I have been discovering some new apps to use on my Android devices. Here are eight of the latest apps I have started using that I am really happy with.

  • 7 Little Words – Game
    This is a word game. You are given clues and the answers are all in word parts to pick from. I am highly addicted to it. The game itself has free parts, but you can also buy more packs of games for 99¢.
  • AfterFocus – Photo Editing
    This app lets you make the background of your device photos have that cool blurry look. Kind of like what your friends with the super cool cameras can take. Very easy to use.
  • Dolphin Browser – Utility
    My husband recommended this app to me. It is an internet browser but with lots of extra add-ons to customize it as you please. If you browse the web with your phone this is the one app I would for sure.
  • HD Widgets – Customizer
    One of the things people really do enjoy about Android phones is the seemingly endless ways you can customize it. HD Widgets gives you a time/date/weather widget of multiple sizes and a gazillion different style and color combinations.
  • Mighty Grocery Lite – Shopping
    I am a list maker and this app lets me make multiple lists for different stores. This app, even this lite version, has a lot to offer. You can add in costs, tax rates, coupons, change skins, backup to the cloud, and on and on. I have not even begun to tap into the full power of this, but even just using for individual shopping lists for different stores I go to is worth it.
  • PicSay Pro – Photo Editing
    I happened to get this on sale for 25¢ – love it! This is the photo editor I use the most for general editing from my phone or tablet.
  • TrustGo Antivirus and Mobile Security – Utility
    I actually found this to start as an add-on for the Dolphin Browser. It does more though and scans your apps for malware, helps with memory management, etc.
  • Enjoy Learning World Map Puzzle – Education
    This game is challenging. It is great for anyone who wants to learn a bit more about where all the countries are. I know I find Europe and Africa particularly difficult to keep up with. It keeps track of your time to complete even so you can challenge yourself or others.

What is your favorite app for your smartphone or tablet?

Disclosure: None, just sharing some apps I like.

    i love afterfocus. i think i had the picsay free version for awhile, but it’s not one of my favorites. i have SEVERAL photo editing apps lol i’m a big fan of cymera, fxcamera, retro camera, line camera, pixlromatic and pudding camera. pudding camera hasdifferent cameras like fisheye, triple lens, motion 2×2, motion 4, plus a few others along w various filters. LOVE it. i don’t use a lot of utility or productivity apps, but i’m going to check out the dolphin browser and trustgo.

      Thank you for all the suggestions! Going to take a look at them now!

    I like how you always put the links in to look at things! Just recently, I went to the Google store and put a few things on my computer. HUGE mistake as I am now hooked again on Poppit. Your word game up there looks very addictive but a good one!

      Well it is much easier for my readers if I have links for sure.

      I lose track of time in the Play store also.

    Hey Robyn, as of today you have 177 emails to check :o) Happy reading. I am sure you follow the rule that says don’t respond to everyone immediately as they come in – set aside ‘email time’ to check and it rolls up to part of your day’s accomplishments.

      LOL – I wish that it was only 177 emails!

    I use Dropbox and Evernote the most on my iPad. I’ll have to see if I can start using Mighty Grocery Lite – Shopping…sounds helpful!

  • Shannon Whitfield

    I was reading about Mighty Grocery Lite, and my mind is blowing! I can’t believe everything it can do. Must get this immediately! I’m a list maker (the mere thought of checking things off on a list is EXCITING to me:), I would use it all the time.

      If you start using Mighty Grocery Lite and have any tips please share!

  • Tiffany Winner

    Mighty Grocery would be soooo helpful for me thismomwins@gmail.com

  • Jennifer Peaslee

    7 Little Words sounds like one I would really enjoy…I don’t have a smartphone so the only game I’ve tried (one someone else’s) was Fruit Ninja…have you tried that one? So mindless but still so fun! lol :) jenniferpeaslee at gmail dot com

    I don’t have an android, but I think it’s a great interface. I like finding comparable apps in the Apple appstore.
