Greetings my dear readers! The Google Play Store has a great variety of applications and their number is growing at an unrealistic pace every day, how to navigate through them and identify the best ones? I will try to compile a list of the best Android apps. I will try to make everything as structured as possible and categorized for better navigation.

No matter what you're looking for, this collection is sure to have the app you're looking for. Enjoy reading and let us know if, in your opinion, the selection is not complete enough and some applications are unfairly not included in this TOP.

Last year, you really liked the article about, it's time to make a similar TOP and about applications (and if you want to run them on a 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 being up to date ... 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

Users usually think about changing the Android interface when they have been using their smartphone for a long time and the soul requires changes, at least in the external design of the system. So the question arises, what are the interesting applications for Android that perform customization of appearance.

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

Pixel Icon Pack

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

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

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

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

Next Lock Screen

When I was the owner of the 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 leave, but I still have nostalgia for Lumiya's Lock Screen. What was my surprise when I learned that Microsoft itself 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 to the standard lock screen.

Of course, this is not an exact copy from Windows Phone, but the main features have been preserved. In general, a strange trend, Microsoft scored on their devices, but they release software for a third-party platform of competitors

SwiftKey Keyboard

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

What's the point? is a customizable interface and themes. You can choose the location of the buttons yourself, whether to display the digital block on the screen and at what moments to do it, well, choose from hundreds of different themes the design to your liking. There should be no problems with the installation, quite understandable prompts pop up that will show where you need to poke your finger.

Apparently I have become so old that I have no desire to use third-party keyboards and I prefer to stay on stock from Android

Browsers

The list of the best programs for android will not be complete if you do not consider the most interesting browsers in my opinion. A modern smartphone is simply useless without the Internet at the present time, namely the browser 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 is Dolphin Browser or Puffin, they are all slowly losing their popularity and are less and less common on mobile devices.

Yandex.Browser - with protection

You can scold Yandex for a very long time for the policy of distributing Yandex Browser to computers, but for Android the application came out just fine - I can recommend it to everyone and use it myself. All thanks to the fast and stable operation of the browser, and the feed will help you find interesting information when you want to look at something, but you don’t know exactly what.

I really like that the search line 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 Firefox browser

On my computer, I use the Mozilla Firefox browser as the main one, so I decided to add it to our TOP. To be honest, I'm a little disappointed ... on a computer, to fill in a couple of tabs of 5-6 gigabytes of RAM, he spit once, 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 tabbed organization and convenient customizable browser start screen. However, if you have a sufficiently productive smartphone, then this browser may appeal to you - I do not recommend owners of ultrabudgets.

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

Google Chrome: fast browser

Scratching a note about the best apps for Android and not mentioning Google Chrome would be a crime. The most popular browser for Andryusha, but historically it didn’t work out for me. I sat on the Fox all my life, and then I discovered Yandex.Browser ... I’ll leave the link just in case, and with a high probability it is already installed on your smartphone.

In general, nothing special, just a mobile version of one of the best browsers for a personal computer based on the Chromium engine.

An excellent browser from Android developers, but there is no chip in it 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 ... oh, nostalgia. However, surprisingly, the browser on the new platform just feels great and has a fairly rich functionality.

A nice homepage, a powerful ad blocker, a smooth interface, a night mode - this is just a drop in the wide possibilities 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 the operating system from Google is an open file system, so there are many interesting file managers for Android in the store, now we will try to find out which ones deserve your attention.

ES Explorer

I think many will agree with me if I say that ES File Explorer is one of the best applications for android. True, the functionality has long gone beyond the scope of a simple file manager - in a few years it has grown very much, but this did not greatly affect performance ... everything works, as always, quickly and without any problems.

What is so interesting about this conductor? - First of all, support for ZIP and RAR archives is important to me, since almost none of the stock ones can do this. When the program starts, we will find out that ES Explorer can search all types of files on your device and it does it 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 familiar standard structure of files and folders. A place analyzer has appeared in the program, which will tell you what is large and superfluous lies in the depths of your phone and crushes the free space on the drive. Of course, there are unobtrusive ads in the free version, but it is quite possible to put up with this given the available functionality.

I tried to analyze the free space of my phone and you can see the result below, and in the picture on the right I was able to access the network folder on my home computer without any problems - at home you can watch movies over the network via Wi Fi, conveniently.

MK Explorer

If for some reason you didn’t have a stock file manager, and you don’t need other functionality than browsing folders and copy / paste, the MK Explorer application would be an excellent solution. The program is insanely simple and practically does not take up 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 the file manager, MK Explorer will be more than ever useful for you.

Social networks and messengers

If a couple of years ago the primary purpose of smartphones was calls, then in 2017 everything has changed dramatically. Currently, calls have faded into the background, and social networks and instant messengers have come to the fore - well, most smartphones do not buy to make calls, the main thing is that VKontakte works stably and you can call or send a message via Whats App.

In contact with

The undisputed leader in the Russian market is certainly Vkontakte, probably almost every smartphone has a client of this social network installed. There are a huge number of unofficial applications, but we will consider the most popular. So what's so interesting about it?

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

Viber

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

Excellent application design, intuitive interface… animated stickers and other goodies bribe many users and it makes no sense to use competing solutions… well, with the main task (these are calls and messages via the Internet) the application makes it easy and without any problems.

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

whats app

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

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

Telegram

Thanks to Roskomnadzor, the Telegram messenger has become very popular in Russia - the brainchild of Pavel Durov ... messages in which no one can read thanks to modern encryption methods directly on the device itself, and not on the program's servers.

Otherwise, everything is like everyone else, however, there are various groups and channels, which is a little more functional than 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 only top-end devices for a lot of money were equipped with GPS sensors, now satellite navigation is probably even in the most budget-friendly Android device ... and for navigation there are many interesting programs for OS from Google Corporation.

Yandex.Maps - search for places and navigator

As for me, the standard for the Russian Federation is the Yandex.Maps application. Why such a choice? - My city is not in the same 2 Gis, and 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 navigating in an unfamiliar city

2GIS: reference book and navigator

If you choose an application for orientation in large cities, then 2GIS will probably be the best choice. He helped me a lot to navigate in Samara, everything works smartly and support for offline mode is implemented. 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 fast and has a huge database of organizations with easy navigation - everything is on business and nothing more.

However, as I already said, there are no small towns on the list and my native Buzuluk is not here - this obviously cannot be written down as an advantage of an 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 delight, there are developments by third-party programmers that make a worthy alternative to standard applications.

What can we say about music, in the age of high-speed Internet and affordable distribution, audio albums can not be downloaded to your phone - everything works great online with human sorting, names and covers (I remember before I bothered with tags, looking for album covers - now it's all available online and does not take up space on the device at all)

Photo and video

A standard video player is only good when there is nothing else ... but there are a lot of interesting alternative programs in the android world, and when it comes to multimedia, then here in general put out the light 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 spoiled this player and it can be safely recommended for installation.

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

VLC is already dominating PCs and this mobile app is firmly positioning it as the best in the mobile sector.

MX Player

Probably a couple of years ago, I would have called it the best video player, but nowadays, compared to competitors, it has too complicated settings and there are difficulties with installing codecs ... it achieves all this with the presence of ads 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 like an amateur. I'm not saying that the player is bad, it's incredibly good, but I convey 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 Gallery

If for some reason you do not like the standard Gallery application, then try the alternative in the face 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 present you a couple of interesting applications for Android to diversify your collection and bring you closer to music.

Yandex.Radio - music online

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 conventional radio stations ... we always have a choice - listen to this song or not

There is also Yandex.Music, but I don’t include it in the top due to the fact that it is paid ... but this is one of the applications for which I bought a subscription, from now on it makes no sense to look for songs on the Internet at all - everything is available online and in excellent quality .

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

Google Play Music

When Google gave away 3 months of free use of their Google Play Music service, the inner Jew woke up in me and I purchased a subscription. Even though it came out for free to me, but after using Yandex.Music, I still couldn’t switch to the Google service ... however, it’s not just here, if you haven’t used any of these programs yet, you might like Google Music more.

I really didn’t like the lack of rewinding tracks in the application, although this feature is present in the browser version… and the interface as a whole is not very clear, but it’s more of 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 (Hopefully it gets better with updates).

Results and information for reflection

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

I’m afraid that it’s simply unrealistic to describe everything you want, but I tried to present the information to you as detailed and structured as possible ... however, if I missed a really worthwhile application, write in the comments, we will definitely add them to our popular top of interesting android programs. All the best!

Every day, PlayMarket is replenished with dozens of Android programs: almost any software has several analogues (sometimes they number in dozens).

Convenient calendar

Users of mobile devices running Android can use various applications to organize their day. It can be either a full-fledged calendar planned for months in advance, or a simple to-do list containing just a list of tasks. Accomplish combines both of these approaches: you can drag tasks directly from your to-do list onto your calendar and schedule when it's convenient for you to do each task.

Organization of time

Another useful application that allows you to plan and organize your time. MyLifeOrganized will become your personal secretary, who is constantly by your side, keeps a to-do list and reminds you of the need to complete them in time.

The program controls the execution of tasks, so do not try to cheat.

Every day, the number of applications available on the Android operating system is steadily growing, and Google play is filled with new interesting solutions. Developers make sure that their offspring is unique and useful, however, the Market also comes across a large number of samples of not the highest quality programs. On the contrary, some applets stand out from the crowd and overtake all the closest competitors by several steps. 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 is clear that the most popular applications for android are presented directly on the main page of the Market. 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 Editors' Choice category, in which applications are often only interesting, rather than really needed on board Android devices. Attempts to build the current top of the best applications for android are now being made by many connoisseurs of various levels of professionalism, 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 made up our top Android apps deserve great attention, since the number of applications on Google Play is now approaching a million: this figure speaks for itself. It is insanely difficult to choose only 10 programs from such a sea of ​​​​options, 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 variety of atmospheres for your shots. There is a powerful adjustable zoom and a convenient timer. The application uses all the buttons to perform certain functions: all this 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 now very popular, however, ZOOM FX is certainly beyond praise.

9. Navitel Navigator

Great solution for GPS navigation. Intuitive interface and elementary control. There are detailed maps of all of Russia and many European countries.
