My pick of the 10 most essential Android Apps

For anyone who has a smart phone of any kind probably has several applications that are pretty useless and were only used once or twice. The best apps are the ones that can really help us throughout our day to day lives, yes even “Angry birds” counts as it helps pass the time waiting tediously in busy lines.


In no specific order, I have arranged a simple, yet essential list of apps for the Android (though I’m sure you can find most of these apps in other smart phones).


The List of Essential Apps:

1. Facebook - In order for facebook to take up so much time in our lives, it must be on our phones to ensure we stay connected at all times .


2. Twitter- (Note: Yes, I know there are a few twitter apps out there, this is regarding twitter in general on your phone) Not an app for everyone, this is for the person who must, repeat, MUST tell everyone what they’re doing and where they’re going.


3.Kindle - For the e-book readers amongst us, it’s a great and simple app that will keep you busy for hours as you read e-books (even the free ones)


4.Google Sky Map - This is just simply cool whether you’re a geek or just want to be amazed. Take your phone (silly as it may look) and literally point it to the sky. This app will do the rest and then become amazed as your phone begins to identify the sky and beyond.


5. Lighting bug – If you have trouble sleeping, this app is for you! It is a visual sound machine that will help you relax and fall asleep. With sounds of Rain, Waves, White Noise, Lightning, you’ll be sure to pass out like a baby or like my second cousin when he drinks.


6. ConvertMe - This app is very uselful, I think I use this app at least once a day. It is a converter, currency converter, and tip calculator. You will see how much this will come in handy.


7. JEFIT - This is a great app that everyone should have, after all ,we all should be exercising. It’s a great workout planner with hundreds of exercises and tracking tools.


8. Toddler Lock  – Sorry childless people, this one isn’t for you. Parents will love this app because it will keep your child busy playing with your phone and not to mention, keeping them quiet.


9.Barcode Scanner - Simply scan a any type of barcode you see (books, shopping labels etc) and then this app will search for the product you have just scanned, which of course, is powered by Google.


10. WeFi - This is the WeFi blog, so it’s gonna be here on this list ,silly! I’m assuming you already have WeFi on your phone – so here’s something to tell you friends in case they don’t.
WeFi locates Wi-Fi hotspots and will connect you automatically.It runs on the background, looking for the best open Wi-Fi signal and when it finds a good connection, boom, you’re connected!

What are the apps you that cannot live without? Maybe they will make the next list... let me know
