Top 10 Basic and Useful Android Apps of 2012

December 11, 2012 By Medha BN Leave a Comment

It’s that time of year where everyone is busy wrapping things going into the flashback of 2012 and making a forecast of things that are likely happen in the coming year 2013. Today I was using my android phone (Samsung galaxy) and I started wondering about the good and the bad apps that I installed, tried and retained a few of them and uninstalled quite a few others. For me the good apps means which have a purpose to serve and a problem to solve (games are included too since they are the biggest friends when it comes to solving the problem of loneliness and boredom). They must be user friendly and error free. Most importantly which do not adversely affect the life of the battery. Free apps are always welcome but there are also paid apps that are quite awesome and give value for money.

Here is the list of top ten apps that made to my list:

1. Temple Run

Have been playing temple run on my iPad but playing the same on every other device is great. This addictive game is now out for Android and the run for life begins after stealing the cursed idol from the temple. This is an interesting game and escaping from the evil Demon Monkeys tests our reflections. Jumping and sliding to avoid obstacles, swiping to turn, collecting to buy power ups and unlocking new characters is all fun.

9. Flipboard

I have been longing to use this app on my android smart phone as I always did on iPad and here it is. This app has been released for android and it’s just too good. You can read news and also connect your social media accounts to access them in the form of a magazine. This is an award winning experience to flip through the news from your Twitter timeline as well as from outlets like the BBC, USA Today, The Verge and not to forget the amazing time seeing the photos and feeds from friends and family on Facebook and Instagram.

She can tweet for you, provide parking information (real-time), needless to say she is capable of providing navigation directions, and many things endless. This super virtual assistant is endorsed by TechCrunch, CNET, Wired, Lifehacker, etc is worth giving a try.
