Android Central's guide to the best Android applications

Nova Launcher Prime

Behold, our updated list of the best Android apps around. It's our hand-picked list of the best Android applications around. These are some of the first Android apps you'll want to download.

Keeping track of Android apps can be a huge pain. With the meteoric rise of Android to the top of the heap, 200,000 300,000 550,000 850,000 Android devices activated a day (and 450,000 apps in the Google Play Store), the landscape is rapidly changing at an almost breakneck pace. Fortunately for y'all, you've got a secret weapon on your hands: us. We're tirelessly dedicated to sorting through the muck, and we've picked some of the best Android apps around. Hop past the break to see some of Android's latest and hottest apps available today.

​Best Android weather app: 1Weather

1WeatherAndroid has always been a hotbed for weather applications, and as we put another year behind us, developers consistently upped the ante in trying to create the perfect weather app.

We settled on 1Weather because of its gorgeous, intuitive interface, Ice Cream Sandwich-like navigation, and overall ease of use. You've got all the standard weather information at your fingertips like temperature, humidity, and precipitation, but you can also add things like the UV index and dew point.

1Weather can be found in the Google Play Store free of charge, with an in-app purchase of $1.99 to remove ads.

​Best Android password manager: mSecure

mSecureWe've sung mSecure's praises before, and for good reason. For starters, it uses 256-bit blowfish encryption, so you know your data is completely and utterly secure.

Next, it keeps all of your passwords, notes, clothing sizes, and bank information (to name a few), all in one place, so you don't need to go digging through app after app to find the login you need.

There's also Dropbox cloud sync, which lets you keep your information in the cloud, which is perfect for device junkies like ourselves.

mSecure is $9.99 in the Google Play Store.

Best Android music player: Google Play Music

Google Play MusicIt's been a wild ride for Google Play Music (formerly Google Music). When it first launched, it was little more than the default music app installed on Android devices, but it's finally matured into a fully-featured app worthy of its place on this list.

The selling point? Free cloud storage for 20,000 of your songs, no questions asked. And if you hit a bad data coverage area? You can also listen to songs stored on your SD card and make songs from your cloud locker available for offline listening.Add in tight integration with Google's push into selling media, and we'd say you have a winner on your hands.

Google Play Music is free in the Google Play Store.

​Best Android launcher: Nova Launcher (Prime)

Nova Launcher PrimeYeah, I know it might be an Ice Cream Sandwich-exclusive, but there's no doubt that Nova Launcher Prime certainly rules the roost in the launcher replacement department.

It's built off of the native ICS launcher, so it's got great functionality, plus a whole host of other bells and whistles like changing your grid size, gesture support, and hiding apps from the app drawer.

The developer, TeslaCoil, has some pretty incredible tricks coming down the pipe, too, so I'd buy in sooner rather than later.

Nova Launcher is free, and upgrading to Nova Launcher Prime is $4.00.

​Best Android browser: Chrome Beta

Chrome BetaTwo Ice Cream Sandwich-exclusive apps on one list? This is madness! Really, though, Chrome Beta is here because it handily earned its spot, and for good reason.

With account syncing, keeping track of all your tabs opened across all your devices, gestures to move from page-to-page, super quick load times, and the questionable Incognito mode, what more could you want?

Really though, folks, Chrome Beta is excellent. If you're using it, you know what I'm saying, and if you can't, you will when you can.

Chrome Beta is free in the Google Play Store.

Best Android messaging app: GO SMS Pro

Go SMS ProEver since the GO team landed on Android, they've been both creating stellar Android apps and making waves. GO SMS Pro might be one of the older apps on this list, but that doesn't mean it's any less deserving.

GO SMS Pro is chock full of little customizations that help tailor it to you, like custom themes for days, different animations as you slide from screen-to-screen or menu-to-menu, and multiple conversation style layouts.

At this point in time, I'd almost argue GO SMS Pro is part of the Android old guard, and that makes it's listing all the sweeter.

GO SMS Pro is free in the Google Play Store.

Best Android Twitter app: Plume

PlumeDynasties rise and fall, and the Twitter app field is already saturated to the brink. Plume has been a crowd (and personal) favorite for quite some time, but were losing their edge as of late.

Then, in a brilliant move, LevelUp Studio updated Plume with new, fancy Ice Cream Sandwich design guidelines and effects. 

With an extremely easy to use interface, customization out the wazoo (go colors!), and top-notch notifications, Plume is everything you'll need in a Twitter clitent.

Plume is free (with ads) or ad-free for $4.99 in the Google Play Store.

Google Play Store Website link

 

​Best Android podcatching app: PocketCasts

PocketCastsIn the world of the Highlander, there can be only one. The Android app scene is a bit different, but if I had​ to pick only one podcatching app, it'd be PocketCasts.

Search for podcasts you want to listen to, add them to your list, and PocketCasts will let you know when there's new episodes to be had.

Set it to auto-download, if you so please, and you'll never have to worry about making sure you've got the latest and greatest for your listening pleasure.

PocketCasts is $2.99 in the Google Play Store.

Google Play Store Website link

 

​Best Android instant messaging app: IM+

IM+You're all hip and cool, Android smartphone in tow, but what if you need to IM your friends? Enter IM+ for Android.

Like most all-in-one messaging apps, IM+ has an impressive list of supported services (including our very own Google Talk), and battery saving push notifications.

Unique to IM+, though, is Beep. Beep is SHAPE's stab at a BBM/iMessage/Google+ Messenger-type service that's only usable with other IM+ users.

IM+ is free in the Google Play Store.

Without a doubt "GOSMS Pro" out does Handscent on every aspect ESPECIALLY customisation, it's fast, smooth, and ridiculously customisable with Emoji plugin, Wallpaper creator, Lots of themes, list and bubble chat view etc etc etc etc etc and then much more!

Android Market Link: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jb.gosms&feature=search_result

an_icon says:

i use all the GO products except contacts

bumpandrun says:

same here. GOContacts is SLOW!

Splendad says:

Absolutely: Go Launcher EX dominates (better than LauncherPro or adw or tw or any others). And all the scrollable widgets and many other things that say they "require" LauncherPro or ADW, for example, run just fine on Go. I also use their SMS. They just know what they are doing. Smooth. Customizable.

sag7392 says:

I'm with you on that as well...Go Launcher EX and SMS Pro are just that damn good! I was using LPP for a very long time and made the switch and haven't looked back. Now if they can get Go Launcher HD up to the EX level...which I know they will.

cowbutt says:

I started using GO SMS back on my Hero, when I missed resend (e.g. due to poor signal) and re-download MMS (e.g. being connected to Wi-Fi when the MMS comes in, and my network only allows MMS to be downloaded when connected to 3G) options in the stock SMS app.

I switched to GO Launcher EX after the stock TouchWiz launcher on my SGS2 forgot my painstaking manual app organization. I couldn't live without organized apps, so I tried a few, looking for one that could back up its config so I'd never have to do it again. GO Launcher EX does that, and I was confident about its quality after my experience with their SMS app. It hasn't let me down.

Add https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ma.deskmigrate to make the migration easy, and I'm happy.

JeffDenver says:

Meh...its cool. No, it is not as customizable. I like the iPhone-like bubbles Handcent has....I dont see an easy way to make GOSMS look like that.

I do use GoLauncher and I do like GoContacts(Just like the dialer part mostly).

Demodave says:

Have you seen the iPhone Go SMS theme?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jb.gosms.theme.goiphon...

aspeo says:

I don't know about you, but GOSMS asked me in the setup when I installed it if I wanted regular conversation style or bubble conversation style.

I'm pretty sure you can go into the settings and change it back and forth whenever you want also.

Chewieez says:

My issue with GOSMS has always been that their pop-up would not show up on top of the HTC Sense lockscreen on Sense 2.0+ roms. Handcent made a workaround option that you can select to make it work.

I haven't used GOSMS in a few months, have they added this functionality yet?

an_icon says:

where can i get that wallpaper ?????(the android one)

bumpandrun says:

I have an Evo 4G running 2.2 and my browser doesn't look anything like the image you show here. It also doesn't have tabbed windows like I believe I see in your image. Am I missing something? I much prefer the other browser (such as Dolphin) features but they are just too slow. I would love to have tabbed browsing in the stock app if I can get it.

Lumos says:

If you're looking at the stock browser picture, those aren't tabs. You see up at the very top of this website, the top bar that shows Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, etc? That's what you see that looks like tabs on the phone. Hope that helps!

I_Am_Incredible says:

First off... why is your EVO running 2.2 and not Gingerbread? It was released a year ago for the EVO. And I think you're talking about the Chrome Browser... which is only available on ICS

psouza4 says:

I think you failed to realize that the comment you're replying to is several months old.

AndroidCentral kept all the old comments and re-released this blog entry with a different list of apps...... for some unknown reason.

Check the comment dates.

Ronnie2 says:

Its the Google Chrome beta for phones. Only for ICS though which is probably why you've never seen it.

Jarkof says:

Agree all the way down until the Internet browser. It lacks many features that any techy would really want. If your phone isnt one of the first models I would say that dolphin browser far exceeds the idea of a true customizable browser. I actually wrote a review at http://androviews.blogspot.com/2011/08/few-android-browsers.html
Check it out. I write many reviews. I actually didn't even include the stock browser. The only thing I liked about it was the built in flash. But dolphin has that now too.

Personal opinion

lightyear420 says:

your 8 month old review is way too outdated for me to even bother clicking the link. if you think a review written when 2.3 was the newest android is still relevant, you shouldn't be writing them because you are too far out of touch with technology!

oh, btw.....chrome mobile wasn't even out when you wrote that lmfao! how can you say something isn't deserving of a vote for best browser, based on a review written before said best browser was even available? remind me to NEVER read any of your blogs!

kzibart says:

His comment above referencing his 8 month old review was also written almost 8 months ago. Check the date on the comment. This entire post is almost 8 months old, apparently just updated but retaining the original comments. That's why most of the early comments don't make much sense.

cenonmin says:

Best Launcher, Launcher Pro really!

You better update this rating, that launcher is so dated and not much development and support. There are other way better ones now. GO Launcher, Regina, MX Home come to mind that are all free and beat LPP hands down.

sag7392 says:

LPP is not on the list...it's Nova Prime, lol.

jayman350 says:

LPP was on the original list, when this was first published in Sept. check the date of the comment 29 weeks ago. No idea why they kept the original comments when a majority of the apps that people commented on aren't even on the list anymore.

arrigob says:

Agree with most but stock browser can only go so far. Dolphin or Miren browser are way better. Started on Dolphin and now I am on Miren browser.

georgy271980 says:

Why is it. So diffult to root a phone

cowbutt says:

Android isn't intended to be rooted at all. Therefore, if it was easier, malware would be an even bigger problem than it is.

There's a valid debate about whether or not users should have full admin rights on their own devices; power users say yes, networks say no, and ordinary users are probably happy to trade away admin rights for a device that Just Flippin' Works, all the time.

cfreeman90 says:

Wouldn't be "open source" if it wasn't to be rooted!!....IJS

dskwerl says:

I wish I could use GoSMS or Handcent on my HTC Evo View. I liked both them.

klau25 says:

ppl, the android stock browser isn't chrome. the chrome beta browser is a separate download app and only works in ICS.

mattyb1085 says:

OI Safe is a great and also free password manager. It is Holo themed also so it fits perfectly with ICS.

o2bnclemson says:

Here's what I love about Android - I disagree with all of these "Best Apps" and that's fine. I'm not going to argue because with Android "Best" is subjective - I can use whatever is best for me, and you can use whatever is best for you. Choice, customization and control. The 3 C's of Android!

HAAS599 says:

You are correct but this article is presenting it as fact. If this was titled "My Favorite Apps" then I wouldn't feel the need to argue.

Joshua Munoz says:

You're more than welcome to disagree, but why do you feel the need to argue?

HAAS599 says:

Doggcatcher is the best podcast app

BeWeather is the best weather app (1weather widget is fugly)

BuddyLee says:

Doggcatcher is really the best podcasting app period.

Best weather imo is WeatherBug Elite.

sanibel says:

Google Play Music and Chrome Beta? Both got lukewarm reception by users. Yikes. Give me Music Pro and Dolphin HD browser!

blz2 says:

Definitely like Dolphin better than Chrome. Chrome doesn't even support Flash. Unless its been updated since I uninstalled it :)

thedan862 says:

PowerAmp (the paid version), in my opinion, the greatest music app on the market. I have been useing it (almost everyday) for a couple years now and have never had any issues. I curently own the Rezound and the first thing i loaded on it was PowerAmp. It has so many high level customization settings, its unreal. It also has a beats audio setting to utilize the beats audio on my Rezound. Again...my opinion....PowerAmp blows em all outa the water.

Robbzilla says:

I agree. The most important feature to me is the folder choice for media files. I'm not one who uses playlists a lot, so it's nice to let the app cycle through and not hit my ringtones.

Also, I don't rely on cloud-based storage for most of my music, so the killer feature of Google Music isn't all that killer for me. Power Amp is simply the best app out there for me.

lightyear420 says:

i agree with most.... however, my favorite launcher is apex because it has every single feature listed above, it's easier on ram, and it's free. my favorite weather is weatherflow....it has everything 1weather has and it's more my taste....that's just up to preference ;)

firefyte01 says:

I use Go Launcher EX, and I found MyWeather to be a pretty decent weather app. It moves pretty fast and you can have multiple places. Best part it is a free app

fabs109#AC says:

OK what weather widget is that? Its not 1weathers because 1weathers widget is round and ugly! But I really like the one in the picture above

HufflepuffBR says:

Google Play Music still needs to be available here in Brazil

Firedrake1 says:

Woah, anyone know what weather widget that is on the nova launcher screen shot?

HAAS599 says:

Beautiful widgets with a custom icon pack downloaded.

Beweather also lets you use beautiful widget icon packs in their widgets.

So Josh thinks an app with a widget so fugly he has to go download a seperate app just to have a good widget is the best andriod app. *facepalm*

Firedrake1 says:

Thanks for the quick reply!
*jumps on the play store*

Joshua Munoz says:

For the record, I've been using Beautiful Widgets for a long, long time, and will probably continue to do so in the future. I use 1Weather for the app.

tlogank says:

*facepalm*
You don't get it. Beautiful widgets is only intended to be used as a real-time weather monitor/clock widget. 1Weather has much more detailed information with Radar, hourly breakdowns, warnings, and much more. I, like many other users I know, use both apps.

Joshua Munoz says:

Truth, sir!

geezagame says:

I would also like to know, I quite like the wallpaper and the digital clock too, so if anyone knows then please let us know

darrylmendo says:

Great article. What about the best launcher and browser that is not exclusive to ICS? Most android users still don't have ICS so I think it would be fair to write about those categories. IMO I love Go Launcher HD. It's buttery smooth, visually appealing, and simple. As for browsers I do prefer Dolphin Browser HD but I just can't stand the icon. I wish it was just a regular globe icon or something that makes it look like it is a browser.

geezagame says:

Why not download the icon you want to use (or extract one from an apk) and use desktop visualizer to create a custom shortcut to dolphin...just an idea

Moonshadowkati says:

If you are using Go Launcher, just long press the icon and press "replace". I just used the one built in to my theme.

axel droid says:

what is the clock widget? i was looking for a clock with roboto font for such a long time

Mortiel says:

To any one curious, I believe the weather/clock widget in the Nova Launcher screen shot is Beautiful Widgets' SuperClock. I may be wrong and it may be something packaged into Nova, but I can make Beautiful Widgets look just like that.

Joshua Munoz says:

Beautiful Widgets with the Vanilla ICS clock.

fldude99 says:

I would vote for Keepass as the best PW manager. It also uses dropbox for sync purposes and it's free. Roboform is almost a tie with Keepass however.

milrtime83 says:

Browser: Dolphin is the only one I have found works with Lastpass bookmarklets so I don't need to subscribe to lastpass premium for the once a month I need to use it.

Launcher: I haven't used Nova, but Go Launcher does most (or all?) of the things that Nova has listed on their website as features. And it's completely free.

tlogank says:

People use Nova because they like the look/feel of the stock ICS launcher...which Nova retains. Go Launcher is great for Android 2.* versions, but not so much for ICS phones...unless you want your phone to look like it's running an older version of Android.

ps4rh says:

Google Music. Can you get that outside of the US yet?

15israellai says:

Yes. Google it yourself, there're some workarounds. Supposed to be illicit, though.

yutsoku says:

​Best Android instant messaging app: IM+

I highly disagree. IMO IM( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imo.android.imoim )is the best messenger app... That or trillian. IM+ is good but it FC's a lot and it's service doesn't seem to function very well with push notifications.

eerongal says:

This ^

IM+ has a lot of issues on every device i've tried it on. Issues with force closing, not reconnecting and things like that made me stop using it. I shifted to using trillian, and it's easily the better choice of the two. I never tried imo im, though, but I love that trillian can keep chat logs synched no matter where i IM from (android, desktop or web)

Nosferatu524 says:

For everyone's comments on launchers the one main thing for me that makes Go Launcher EX stick out from the rest is it allows folders in the app drawer... When you have over 100 apps I don't want to be constantly flicking through pages. Until the others allow this I'm not switching.

tony bag o donuts says:

HD Widgets and SBSH Safewallet for me....
Poweramp for music player, hands down.

danfinger says:

can poweramp stream from online content and native music files?

pappy53 says:

How about Chomp SMS? It has done me well.

Demodocus says:

Plume is pretty awesome, but at the rate Boid is getting developed and updated, it might take the crown from them.

The Peanut Master says:

Definitely, it has done one of the best ICS interface integrations I've seen thus far. Very very impressive Twitter app and the one I'm currently using.

bullydogger says:

Prefer Handscent for SMS had several issues with GO SMS on my Bionic had to uninstall...

KineticMD says:

I love 1Weather, I just wish it would support HD resolution screens.

unclemike#ac says:

Call me paranoid if you wish, but I'm not about to trust all my login credentials to an app that has full Internet access; it's part of my caution and common sense approach to keeping safe on Android. That's why I passed on mSecure, even when it was available for $0.49 during the Play Store rollout.

n0obpr0 says:

I cannot believe google music player beat PowerAMP...smh

windsorhollow says:

Agreed!!! PowerAMP is much more powerful, and the EQ settings are fun and fully featured.

elias0441 says:

You should also mention the the best keyboard app : Swiftkey X....Swiftkey 3

CeluGeek says:

As usual, most of these apps won't run on tablets. Anyone still wondering why Android tablets can't compete with the iPad?

mobilemedic20 says:

Great article! I just downloaded Go SMS and chrome beta. I've always used Handcent and Dolphin (easily among my most frequently used apps) but these might be suitable upgrades, at least to try. I didn't think anything could beat Dolphin but damn, chrome is nice!

evobb100 says:

In same apps I agree with you but like Google play music, plume Twitter app, and chrome beta are not one of the best adnroid app. May be we can say good apps.
Finally I really appreciate you for your wonderful article coz I got two best apps from here.

stevozip says:

Chrome is nice, but it won't launch built in apps from web links; links like Wikipedia and Youtube.

vansmack says:

That was so 10 minutes ago.... ;)

jsheehan223 says:

For a launcher, I use ssLauncher. It's very different. HIGH level of customization. It's fairly new and at this point is just above 1000+ (paid version). The free has 100k downloads. Give it a try, but don't get frustrated at the beginning. Take your time and play and customize. I used GO Launcher until I started flashing Gingerbread roms on my OG Droid. I had to get rid of it because it was too slow. I went to Zeam, Rocketlauncher then finally I stopped with ADW. ADW was the only one lightweight and feature rich enough to make me happy (Zeam is extremely lightweight, but it doesn't have a lot of features).

For a podcatcher, I use BeyondPod. When I first got my OG Droid, I found this and have never looked back. I have checked out a few other podcatchers, but none have the polish and usability of BeyondPod. This one does have a tablet version, too (BeyondPod for Honeycomb).

That's my $.02

Robbzilla says:

I'll take Power AMP over Google Play Music any day...

thedan862 says:

chck ou my reply to "zguy" above

svenEDGE says:

I think most of these picks are spot on but the only thing that makes Play Music better than PowerAMP is the fact that cloud storage is supported. Other than that PowerAMP is miles ahead of Play Music. I wish they would implement some more features into Play Music such as the ability to search for album art and a full EQ like on PowerAMP.

Taz89 says:

dont agree with nova launcher,should have been apex as that is free and offers all the features of the paid version of nova.

hmmm says:

Cluster fuck comments going on. Should wipe em out. The old with the new is confusing.

Michael Williams says:

GO SMS mucks up my Visual Voice Mail on Sprint. I had to uninstall it.

k.banking says:

Just my .2 cents, I use Fancy widgets which has about 5 Stock ICS widget clocks with a battery level indicator for those who are not rooted. It also has customizable weather widgets as well. For all you Star Wars fans out there, I'm using the Star Wars theme which has the twin suns from Tatooine and the Death Star as the moon.

I would also like to mention a useful video monitoring/recording app by Seedonk. You can use your IP web cam to stream video to your Android Device. It's really easy and convenient to use. I can view activity of my home while I'm at work to make sure no unexpected intruders are around. It's my most used on the go app.

DawgFan79 says:

I don't agree with Pocketcast being on this list. I tried it and it was a headache to deal with. I'm sure it's been updated since I used it but I would urge people to try Doggcatcher. I've been using it for a while and I am really pleased with it. It has everything I've ever looked up(pocketcast didn't)and the customer service is great. They've fixed my one or two issues I've had very quickly and they are very friendly. UI is great and it also has auto update so I never have to lift a finger and my new podcasts are there waiting on me.

thedan862 says:

PowerAmp (the paid version), in my opinion, the greatest music app on the market. I have been useing it (almost everyday) for a couple years now and have never had any issues.

It also has a beats audio setting to utilize the beats audio on my Rezound. Again...my opinion....PowerAmp blows em all outa the water.

DuDe75 says:

IMO the best Launcher for ICS is Apex Launcher because it has all the functionality of Nova Launcher plus more, and it's al free.

For Music player I vote for PowerAMP. Google Music would be nice if Google would put more countries on its map...and this goes for a bunch of other Google apps :(

ciollij says:

HELP I have the Samsung Galaxy S2 by Sprint. And my texting is horrible still. I used Swipe on it and double checked my settings. Had this phone for 6 months and I still mispell words with I text really fast. Sometimes I do not have time to check for if I misstouched a letter and go back and fix it. It have been so annoyin gto me is there a Keyboard you suggest APP that would fixed my problem? I have used Iphone before had no problem with texting on a Iphone. Any suggestions please respond.

Unless you want Joshua to keep posting the best list everyday :)

repligation says:

Google Play Music may be nice for cloud storage and their new free scan and match service is a big +1, but the app itself is not even as good as the stock Android Music Player. No folder view?! Garbage.

List of the Best Android Apps

http://liteurlife.com/our-list-of-the-best-android-apps/

Your Android phone may be the best hardware on the market, but everyone knows it’s the apps that help you make the most of your Android device—whether it’s brand new or a few years old. This time we’re highlighting the apps that help you stay productive, stay connected, and stay informed and entertained, not to mention a few that will make your Android phone just that much better.

Robbzilla says:

Too bad that the page is nothing but a huge spambot. I might have read this "article" if it hadn't been.

Han Ar says:

Hi,
well, I suggest to add ~SkyFish swipe launcher~ to add into this list. Recommended for all android user to have it and use it everyday, to faster launch. Launch or open apps , contacts, photo, video, music, shortcut copy word and even a widget ~in one swipe. I'm sure this the best launcher after use so many launcher from new app to well known app so far. I admit it's little difficult to learn how to use it than any app but after you learn it, you will feel more productive and faster.

this it is app link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.trashfeed.skyfishfree

Try it (^_^)
Thanks

rbess1965 says:

Had IM+ on my last phone and it was pretty nice. I don’t use it now but if they included a Corporate Exchange IM feature like Office Talk Free, I’d be all in.

2 disagreements: I'd rate both Dolphin and Opera Mobile over Chrome Beta, and PowerAMP and WinAmp over Google Music. That's like saying Google Reader is better than MoonReader. No way in Hell, unless you don't like to actually customize your experience. That's why I like Android: Customization. And Google Music is clown shoes on that front compared to PowerAMP.
