Google Drive

Google drive is great storage app that lets you store most of your data on the cloud. The app allows you to access your data from anywhere and from any device. It also lets you share your data with others. While uploading your data into the google drive, the app allows you to set your privacy i.e. if you want your data to be visible to you only or to anyone around the world. The app comes really handy when you need your important files on the go. You can create spreadsheets, presentations and text that can be shared with your boss and colleagues. The app is free but allows a limited storage space. It is an obvious app if you are short on storage.
Firefox
Android devices usually come with two built-in browsers: “Internet and Chrome”. The browser named “internet” is considered as the “internet explorer for android”. On the other hand, chrome is slightly better than that. But If you want a customization browser, you should probably try Firefox for android. The browser is Fast, Smart, Safe and Smooth. It is easily downloadable through the play store.
Evernote
A must-have app that organizes your life in a much better way. The app comes with numerous useful features and allows to you add notes, to do lists, voice recordings and the possibly the best feature I came across : it lets you search text within the images or in pdf files. The app Evernote is no less than gold if you find it hard to organize your work. Most of all : the app is free on the google play.
Netflix

We all know what Netflix is. For those who don’t know ; Netflix redefines entertainment. An amazing app that helps you kill your free time. If you have a Netflix subscription you can watch HD movies and shows on your tv but you can’t carry your tv along with you during your boring trips. So all you need to do is to download the Netflix app on your phone and log in with your existing subscription, lay back and enjoy.
MX player
It is a the best and the most powerful media player that one can come across. MX player supports almost every type of video file that you could think of. Now you can watch your favorite movies in a really smooth environment and you can also load your subtitles that can be customized according to your needs. Moreover, the app lets you multitask and lets you minimize the screen while listening to the video songs. Clearly a winner amongst many other media players.
Swiftkey keyboard
The built in android keyboard is a mess sometimes. So here’s an alternative to that. The app is called swiftkey keyboard; it makes texting easier and fun than before. With the huge list of unique features the app stands above many other apps of the same category. The app comes with a powerful prediction dictionary so you don’t have to write a lot while texting your friends.
Bonus: The app was launched as a paid app but now it is free on google play. Download it here to give a boost to your keyboard before you have to pay for it:
