What was the first thing that you did when you first got yourself an Android phone? Set time and date? Put it on charging? If you didn’t do this, then you probably shouldn’t be using an Android phone- DOWNLOAD APP! I don’t know about you but for me an exhaustive list of apps was already made by me, much before (to people’s amusement) my phone arrived. I wanted the Kindle app, the Kobo app, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter (you get the drift), all this and even more right on my phone. Life suddenly seemed to have changed tracks; things seemed to look up just by mere installation of some apps. And thus an era of app began. People shot to fame by designing apps! (Tell your parents this and they would probably be befuddled). So this had be covered, a not-so-exhaustive list of apps which should make its way to your android devices (i.e. if they already haven’t). The must have and nominated to be the best apps in no particular order are-
QuizUp

Timehop
Caution: Don’t install this if you looked cringe-worthy in your past pictures.
If basically synchronizes with your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and all the other social networking forums where you share your pictures, and replays these pictures from the past reminding you of some key events which would leave you with a nostalgic feeling.

iSupr8
If you are an avid Instgram lover, then this is the app for you. It shoots beautiful vintage videos which is Instagram friendly. So if your phone has a decent camera, then your video would look something straight out of the 50s or 60s television.
Kindle
Many find the concept of shelling out money for a book reader ridiculous. Like why would you spend your money on a mere book reader if you can get a tab at the same price? Well, if you are one of those, then Amazon Kindle app is just meant for you. Download books (free and paid) and read to your heart’s content.
Duolingo
You’ve gotta love this app. It would reform you into a polyglot (well, almost) in no time. It comes armed with Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese and would make you conversant enough in all these tongues. Rad, isn’t it?
Apex Launcher Pro
This is a paid app, but is worth giving a try. As once you try it, you’ll keep going back to it for more. This app revamps your screen layout and the user interface looks fancy and nothing like the boring standard ones.
