Android phones are capable of many things, but even experienced users sometimes discover new capabilities they didn’t know existed. If you have an Android phone, check out this list of the 10 best Android apps you didn’t know you needed. You might find that you can do things with your phone that you never thought possible!
1) Automatic Call Recorder
This app is really one of those don’t know how I lived without it deals. It records both sides of your phone calls—so you can go back and listen to both conversations if necessary—and saves them in MP3 files on your phone. The app is simple, easy to use, and gets great reviews on Google Play. If you want to record all your calls (or just certain ones), give Automatic Call Recorder a try.
2) Printoid – Print from your phone
Printers are pricey, and most of us don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on one. But what if you could print from your phone? Now you can. With Printoid, an app for your Android device, you can turn any compatible printer into a wireless printer that you can use with your smart phone or tablet. Printoid is perfect for business owners who want to add value to their business by increasing efficiency and quality when interacting with customers.
3) Nandroid
Use Nandroid to create a backup of your current operating system and apps. If anything goes wrong, you can revert to your old OS and install your previously downloaded apps, as if nothing happened. It’s worth doing at least once for every new device you get, just in case something does go awry.
4) Pushbullet
Even though we have smartphones and computers, that doesn’t mean we can’t use a little bit of extra help. Pushbullet is an app for transferring files between your computer and your phone by pushing things back and forth over Wi-Fi, but it also has some surprising uses for day-to-day life.
5) Tasker
By far, my favorite Android app of all time. Tasker is an automation tool that allows you to connect a series of commands to various triggers, but it’s also capable of much more than that. With it, you can set your phone to do a lot of things automatically; for example, if your phone isn’t being used and nobody’s around to bump into it, your device could mute itself so you don’t get woken up by notifications at night.
6) FolderSync Pro
For better or worse, we live in a cloud-connected world. Keeping your data synced across all of your devices is an essential part of that. If you’re looking for something simple, free and unobtrusive to do that on Android, FolderSync Pro is your answer.
7) ROM Toolbox Lite
We’ve all had that moment where we need to tweak something on our device that can’t be done easily—or at all—without an app. For example, you may want to turn off your device’s data while roaming overseas so you don’t get hit with massive roaming charges.
8) Disk Digger
Whether you’re running low on space on your PC or want to quickly find a document buried deep in your file cabinet, Disk Digger makes it easy to find what you’re looking for. This free Windows utility locates hidden, lost and previously deleted files in hard-drive folders. Disk Digger is compatible with all versions of Windows. It supports all three major database formats (DBF, dBase and FoxPro) and can read virtually any file format.
9) Battery Optimizer +
Managing your battery life is always a balancing act, but Battery Optimizer + for Android makes it a bit easier. This app keeps an eye on what’s using up your battery—be it apps or hardware—and lets you fine-tune power consumption accordingly. It’s not perfect, but Battery Optimizer + does manage to prolong that precious juice by limiting background processes and tweaking notification settings. The fact that it’s free doesn’t hurt either.
10) XKiller - Phone Booster
XKiller is a great application to boost your phone and make it run smoothly. It will optimize your RAM, clean cache, and clear background tasks. By freeing up storage space on your device, you can enjoy faster speeds and an overall better experience. We recommend every owner of an Android device have XKiller installed. This app has everything you need to keep your phone performing at its best!
