Best Apps For Android

While the Apple app store is certainly more well-known as a provider for great apps, it really isn't all that difficult to come up with some of the best apps for Android if you know what to look for. One thing important to note is that while Apple's iPad and iPhone games are top notch, the best apps for Android are far more functional in nature.

1. Dolphin Browser The Dolphin browser is simply a better browser for Android tablets and phones than the one that comes standard. Dolphin ranks as one of the best apps for Android because it offers better speed and functionality than what the default Android browser can offer.
2. Google Voice Google Voice works as a second phone line in a way, but what makes it one of the best apps for the Android is the fact that you can access both voicemail and text messages over the internet. This is one app that Apple refuses to offer in its store, making it all the better for Android users who get a special perk for having their Google-built phone or tablet OS.
3. Dropbox As more people move away from carrying around USB sticks and want a way to transfer data through the net, services like Dropbox will gain popularity. The fact that you can access your Dropbox account through your phone makes this one of the very best apps for Android.
4. FeedR Every good mobile device needs to have an RSS feeder they can be proud of. FeedR is one of the best apps for the Android because the app offers both pre-loaded feeds for the user to read as well as the ability to easily add their own feeds. FeedR also updates in the background automatically so users know their feeds are constantly up to date.
5. Barcode Scanner Barcode scanner is simply one of the best apps for the Android because of the amount of money it can conceivably save its users. With this app you simply scan the barcode of any item at any store and in seconds you will be searching the web looking for prices for that item. This app allows you to know whether you are getting a good deal or whether you should wait and order online.
6. Amazon Kindle While some people will say that Android phone screens are too small to be really useful eReaders, this still qualifies as one of the best apps for Android. This app comes in especially handy if you already have a Kindle, but you don't have it with you. You can read any book you also have on the Kindle even when you are on the go and have a few minutes to catch up on your reading.
