Greetings my dear readers! IN Google Play There are a great many applications in the Store and their number is growing at an unrealistic rate every day, how to navigate through them and identify the best ones? I'll try to make a list best android applications. I will try to make everything as structured as possible and into categories for better navigation.

No matter what you're looking for, this selection is sure to have it. the right application. Enjoy reading and let me know if in your opinion the selection is not complete enough and some applications are undeservedly not included in this TOP.

Last year you really liked the note about, it’s time to make a similar TOP about applications (and if you want to run them on your computer, then you know what to do). I won’t use emulators - we’ll run everything on a smartphone and test it, so don’t worry about its relevance... everything has been personally tested on a live device and I can guarantee the full functionality of all the programs on today’s list.

Android interface customization

About change Android interface Users usually think about it when they have been using their smartphone for quite a long time and their soul demands changes, at least in the external design of the system. So the question arises, what kind of interesting applications for Android that customizes the appearance.

I repeat that I selected the list of programs according to my taste and my opinion is purely subjective... but I tried to listen to the opinions of my friends and did not use it at all unknown programs- all of them are very popular on Google Play and highly rated by users

Pixel Icon Pack

It's no secret that the corporation's flagship for good, Google Pixel, has received unique interface, so it was a matter of time to wait for icons and design from this device. Meet the Pixel Icon Pack. In my opinion, one of the nicest icon sets (there are many more collections there, but only free ones from Pixel)

The screenshots below show appearance After activating the icons and design - it looks great to me, the smartphone interface has changed completely.

To apply this icon pack, you need to install it and click “Apply” in the application menu next to “Pixel Icon Pack”, do not pay attention to the English interface, everything in the menus themselves will be Russified. However, there is one small problem: to install this set of graphics you need a third-party launcher... the list of supported ones is quite large, I used it for testing Apex Launcher (just click on the name and press the Install button)

I really liked this set of resources and can recommend it to anyone who is tired of the boring and boring appearance of their smartphone interface

Next Lock Screen

When I was the owner Nokia Lumia 920 I really liked the lock screen on Windows Phone (especially the Bing pictures that changed every day). Unfortunately, this device no longer covered my needs and we had to part ways, but I still have nostalgia for the Lock Screen Lumiya. Imagine my surprise when I found out that Microsoft itself had released an application for the Green Robot, which allows you to see this screen on my Android device.

After launch, you need to set permissions for the application, in general everything is intuitive - a good alternative standard screen blocking.

Of course, this is not an exact copy of Windows Phone, but the main features have been preserved. In general, a strange trend, Microsoft has given up on its own devices, but releases software for competitors’ third-party platforms

SwiftKey Keyboard

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of input methods in your smartphone, because we come across text typing every day. If you are not satisfied with the standard Android keyboard, that is, the choice is SwiftKey Keyboard and you will never return to the stock keyboard.

What's the trick? is a customizable interface and themes. You can choose the location of the buttons, whether to display the number pad on the screen and at what moments to do it, and choose from hundreds of different themes the design to suit your taste. There should be no problems with the installation; quite clear prompts will pop up that will show you where to point your finger.

Apparently I've become so old that I don't want to use anyone third party keyboards I don’t have it and I prefer to stay on stock Android

Browsers

The list of the best programs for Android will not be complete without considering the most interesting browsers in my opinion. Modern smartphone is simply useless without the Internet nowadays, and it is the browser that shows us the contents of the World Wide Web.

Looking ahead, I would like to warn you that it is simply impossible to describe absolutely all web browsers - this includes Dolphin Browser or Puffin, they are all slowly losing their popularity and can be found less and less on mobile devices Oh.

Yandex.Browser - with protection

You can scold the Yandex company for a very long time for the policy of distributing Yandex Browser on computers, but for Android the application turned out to be simply excellent - I can recommend it to everyone and I use it myself. All thanks to the fast and stable work browser, and the feed will help you find interesting information when you want to watch something, but you don’t know what exactly.

I really like that the search bar is at the bottom, it’s very convenient as the owner of a 5.5 inch device... on the same Google Chrome or Firefox they are at the top and you have to take the phone in two hands or try to reach this element with your finger.

Fast browser Firefox

On my computer I use a browser Mozilla Firefox as the main one, so I decided to add it to our TOP. To be honest, I’m a little disappointed... on a computer, filling up 5-6 gigs of RAM with a couple of tabs is a piece of cake, but as it turned out, on Android the fox also slows down in comparison with the same Yandex Browser. Otherwise everything is fine, maybe updates will fix the performance problem.

In Firefox, I liked the organization of work with tabs and the convenient, customizable browser start screen. However, if you have a fairly powerful smartphone, then this browser You might like it - I don’t recommend it to owners of ultra-budget phones.

Just a good and interesting web browser, definitely worth a look... who knows, maybe it will become your main one

Google Chrome: Fast Browser

Scratch a note about best apps on Android and not mentioning Google Chrome would be simply a crime. The most popular browser for Andryusha, but historically it didn’t work out for me. I've been using Fox all my life, and then I discovered Yandex.Browser... I'll leave the link just in case, since it's highly likely that it's already installed on your smartphone.

Overall nothing special, just mobile version one of best browsers for a personal computer running on the Chromium engine.

An excellent browser from Android developers, but it doesn’t have a feature or something... something is missing to use it

UC Browser - UC Browser

Probably one of the best browsers, which is more relevant than ever since the leadership of Nokia and Symbiam... ah, nostalgia. However, surprisingly, the browser and new platform It just feels great and has quite a lot of functionality.

Pleasant Homepage, a powerful ad blocker, smooth interface, night mode - these are just a drop in the wide capabilities of a web browser, I can definitely recommend installing it on a smartphone.

UC Browser is not only a browser, it is also a huge number of services available from the program menu

File managers

A huge advantage of Google's operating system is its open file system, so there are many interesting file managers for Android in the store, now we will try to find out which of them deserve your attention.

ES Explorer

I think many will agree with me if I say that ES Explorer is one of the best applications for Android. True, the functionality has long gone beyond the simple file manager— over several years it has grown very much, but this has not greatly affected performance... everything works as always quickly and without any problems.

What's so interesting about this guide? — First of all, support is important to me ZIP archives and RAR, since almost none of the stock ones can do this. When we start the program, we learn that ES Explorer can search all types of files on your device and it does this in real time - let's go directly to the application itself.

The picture below shows that you can use both the new menu and the standard file and folder structure familiar to everyone. The program now has a space analyzer that will tell you what large and unnecessary things lie in the depths of your phone and are crushing you free space on the drive. Of course in free version There is unobtrusive advertising, but this is quite acceptable given the available functionality.

I tried to analyze free place your phone and you can see the result below, and in the picture on the right I was able to access the network folder on home computer— at home via Wi Fi you can watch movies online, it’s convenient.

MK Explorer

If for some reason you don’t have a stock file manager, and you don’t need any other functionality other than viewing folders and copy/paste, the MK Explorer application would be an excellent solution. The program is incredibly simple and takes up virtually no space in the device's memory.

As in ES Explorer, there is the ability to browse both by category and a standard file manager with direct access to the file system.

If you don’t require much from a file manager, MK Explorer will come in handy for you more than ever

Social networks and instant messengers

If a couple of years ago the primary purpose of smartphones was calls, then in 2017 everything changed dramatically. Currently, calls have faded into the background, and have come to the forefront social media and instant messengers - well, most people don’t buy smartphones to make calls, the main thing is that VKontakte works stably and you can call or send a message using Whats App.

In contact with

The undisputed leader on the Russian market is definitely VKontakte; probably almost every smartphone has a client of this social network installed. There is a huge amount unofficial applications, but we will consider the most popular. So what's interesting about it?

I think many will agree with me that the viability of such clients is the functionality that is fully implemented and can repeat everything that is in the computer version. In general, if you don’t dig very deep, then all daily actions can be done from your smartphone without touching your computer.

Viber

Another interesting application for your Android smartphone is the Viber messenger. I didn’t use it for a long time until I persuaded my mother to switch from push-button telephone on an android device. As it turned out, she had many friends abroad, and after Skyping on the computer, they all almost migrated to Viber and were satisfied.

Excellent application design, intuitive interface... animated stickers and other goodies captivate many users and there is no point in using competing solutions... but with the main task (these are calls and messages via the Internet) The application does it with ease and without any problems.

Almost all messengers are similar to each other - my advice: use the application that is more widespread in your circle

Whats app

The pioneer among Internet messengers was, of course, Whats App. Somehow historically it didn’t work out for me with it, maybe it’s just that the majority of my acquaintances are on VK and there was simply no need to install Whats App... however, it’s stupid to deny that this application It's very interesting and does its job well.

Verdict? — An excellent Internet messenger, not overloaded with useless functionality, nothing superfluous... what else do you need?

Telegram

Thanks to Roskomnadzor Telegram messenger became very popular in Russia - the brainchild of Pavel Durov... messages in which no one will be able to read thanks to modern methods encryption directly on the device itself, and not on the program servers.

Otherwise, everything is the same as everyone else, however, there are various groups and channels, which is a little more functional compared to analogues... however, there is no Russian language, but this is a small problem - it’s not worth the trouble to figure it out.

Unlike Viber and VKontakte, Telega has a huge collection of free stickers - for many this can be a big plus in choosing their main application

Maps and navigation

If not so long ago GPS sensors only top-end devices were supplied for a lot of money, but now satellite navigation is probably available even in the most budget Android device... and there is a lot for navigation interesting programs for OS from Google Corporation.

Yandex.Maps - place search and navigator

As for me, the standard for the Russian Federation is the Yandex.Maps application. Why this choice? - My city is not in the same 2 Gis, but Yandex is full of organizations, and the presence of a people's map makes it simply mandatory to install.

I recommend that you familiarize yourself with all Yandex products - there are a lot of interesting and useful things there... for example, Yandex.Transport will tell you bus routes, which will be very useful for finding your way around an unfamiliar city

2GIS: directory and navigator

If you choose an application for orientation in large cities, then 2GIS will probably be the best choice. It really helped me navigate Samara, everything works quickly and supports offline mode. On the map you can see not only the streets and house numbers, but there is also the opportunity to look into shopping centers and see the location of the pavilions inside.

The application works quite quickly and has huge database organizations with easy navigation - everything to the point and nothing superfluous.

However, as I already said, there are no small towns on the list and my native Buzuluk is not here - this obviously cannot be counted as an advantage of the Android application

Multimedia applications

A modern smartphone without multimedia capabilities is practically useless. Quite often, the stock video player and gallery do not have the necessary functionality, but to our joy there are developments by third-party programmers who make a worthy alternative to standard applications.

What can we say about music, in this age high-speed Internet and available distribution of audio albums, you don’t have to download them to your phone - everything works great in online mode with human sorting, names and covers (I remember we used to bother with tags and look for album covers - now it’s all available online and doesn’t take up any space on the device)

Photo and video

A standard video player is only good when there is nothing else... but there are a lot of interesting things in the Android world alternative programs, and when it comes to multimedia, then here in general turn out the lights- Let's try to figure out what is worthy of your attention.

VLC media player

Surely many people are familiar with this player on a regular computer, I want to assure you that everything is fine with the Android version, no one has damaged this player and we can safely recommend it for installation.

If you often watch videos on your device, then VLC should be your default media player. Its arsenal includes support for a huge number of file types and incredibly convenient management on touch screen, and many applications from big brother cannot boast of this.

VLC already dominates personal computers, and this mobile app firmly positions it as the best in the mobile sector

MX Player

Probably a couple of years ago I would have called it best player video, but currently, compared to its competitors, its settings are too confusing and there are difficulties with installing codecs... all this is achieved by the presence of advertising in the free version. I understand that developers want to eat, but there are alternatives on the market without it.

Compared to VLC, I didn’t really like the controls, but it’s more of an acquired taste. I'm not saying that the player is bad, it's incredibly good, but I give my sympathy to the competing software.

Pay attention to the Software and Hardware decoders - play around with the settings, this way you can improve the smoothness of playback and significantly save battery power

Piktures – Photo Album Gallery

If for some reason you don't like it standard application"Gallery", then try the alternative in the form of Piktures (no, I didn't misspell the word).

An intuitive and clear application for Android that will make organizing your gallery more convenient and viewing photos easier.

For many, the function of sorting by calendar or setting a PIN code to enter the gallery will be useful; this is much more functional than the stock application

Music

Many people cannot imagine themselves without music, so I decided to introduce you to a couple of interesting applications for Android to diversify your collection and bring you closer to music.

Yandex.Radio - online music

If earlier online radio seemed to be something incomprehensible and why is it needed when there is a regular one... now Yandex.Radio is one of the best music applications for Android. We choose a genre or mood and enjoy the music selected for us - songs can be skipped, this gives an advantage over regular radio stations... we always have a choice - to listen to a given composition or not

There is also Yandex.Music, but I don’t include it in the top because it’s paid... but this is one of the applications for which I bought a subscription, from now on there is no point in looking for songs on the Internet - everything is available online and in excellent quality .

You can use Yandex.Radio on your computer without any problems - that’s all standard services Yandex and everything is available directly from the browser on their website

Google Play Music

When Google gave away 3 months of free use of them Google service Play Music, then my inner Jew woke up and I purchased a subscription. Even though it was free for me, after using Yandex.Music I was never able to switch to the Google service... however, it’s here for a reason, if you haven’t used any of these programs yet, perhaps you’ll like Google Music more.

I really didn’t like the lack of rewinding tracks in the application, although this option is present in the browser version... and the interface as a whole is not very clear, but it’s more a matter of habit...

As I understand it, Google launched this service for Russia not so long ago, so in the future we are waiting for improvements and replenishment of the collection of tracks (I hope the situation will get better with updates).

Results and food for thought

Friends, it was very difficult for me to write a note about the best applications for Android - I installed it all on my phone, tested it, took screenshots and tried to find the pros and cons of each program. I understand that you can also add weather applications, online shopping and many other wonderful applications here.

I’m afraid that it’s simply impossible to describe everything you want, but I tried to present you with the information in as much detail and structure as possible... however, if I really missed worthwhile application- write in the comments, we will definitely add them to our popular top of interesting programs for Android. All the best!

Every day the number of applications available on operating system Android is growing steadily, and Google Play is filled with more and more interesting solutions. The developers make sure that their brainchild is unique and useful, however, there are also a large number of samples of not the highest quality programs on the Market. On the contrary, some applets stand out from the crowd and are several steps ahead of all their closest competitors. Interesting applications for Android open up new horizons of possibilities. It is precisely these decisions that I would like to pay special attention to. To collect our collection of must-have programs, we will try to compile a kind of top 10 applications for Android, which will include only the best of the best. This list should contain a variety of applets that efficiently and affordably implement the entire range of functions of a mobile gadget.

Top 10 Android Apps

It's clear that the most popular apps for android are presented directly on home page Marketa. But they change there almost every day, and there are too many of them, besides, not all of them, as practice shows, are needed by the average user. This is especially true for the “Editor's Choice” category, in which applications are often just interesting rather than actually needed on board an Android device. Attempts to build the current top best applications for Android are now being made by many connoisseurs of various levels of professionalism, and we will try to do this too. We will try to be objective and take into account all the nuances.

Best in their categories

I would like to note that the position in one or another position of the top is not as important as the very presence in it. One way or another, absolutely all the programs that make up our top applications for Android deserve great attention, since the number of applications on Google Play is now approaching a million: this figure speaks for itself. Choosing just 10 programs from such a sea of ​​options is incredibly difficult, however, let’s try to bring this idea to life. So, what closes the top ten, which, in our opinion, contains the most interesting applications for Android?

10. ZOOM FX camera

An excellent camera with a huge number of built-in effects to create a very different atmosphere in your photos. There is a powerful customizable zoom and a convenient timer. The application uses all the buttons to perform certain functions: everything is very thoughtful, ergonomic and simple. Images can be processed and uploaded to Fickr and Facebook in a few clicks. Cool applications for Android that replace the standard camera are very popular now, however, ZOOM FX is certainly beyond praise.

9. Navitel Navigator

An excellent solution for GPS navigation. Intuitive interface and basic controls. There are detailed maps of all of Russia and many European countries. All junctions are made in 3D, you can calculate routes and find the necessary objects by searching. Additionally, there is a view of road conditions based on traffic jams, weather updates and measurement of the current speed.
