10 Android apps I can live without but would rather not…

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

I’ve been an Android user for a while now, and during that time I’ve tested a few application before getting to a point where I have 10 favorites that somehow make life a whole lot easier. Not saying these are the only ones I use – they’re just more important.

Seesmic

I was a Twidroid user for a long time, but now? Seesmic all the way. The best twitter app.

Facebook for Android

Sometimes you just have to stay updated. The app itself is mediocre at best, but since there are no good alternatives…

3banana

Great for taking notes on the run (or sitting down). Online sync is a big plus.

Camera ZOOM FX

I started out with FxCamera, which was a great supplement to the standard camera app. This is even better. Paid app though.

CardioTrainer

Records all my cardio exercises. For use with GPS or add tracks/activities manually. Great way to see improvements.

Apps Organizer

I was tired of the mess that was my home screen(s). Apps Organizer lets you put shortcuts within a shortcut! Instead of 16 icons on your homes creen, how about one or two?

NetCounter

Using Mobile Network can prove to be quite expensive. This let’s me keep track of bytes transferred instead of giving me a shock when the bill arrives. Separate counters for WiFi and Mobile Network.

Spotify

Only for premium members of Spotify, but a must for anyone who enjoys checking out new tunes on the go. Has the ability to download playlists if you want to check it out when you’re out of WiFi range.

Uninstaller

The standard way of uninstalling is the most time consuming thing in the entire world. With Uninstaller though: One click… gone. A must for anyone who likes testing out apps just for the fun of it (because you’ll end up uninstalling 75% of the time).

ES Task Manager

My HTC Hero has a tendency to get a bit slow after a while.  This app gives you a great overview of processes running and the ability to kill the ones you don’t need to free memory.
