One of the best things about Android is that apps have a lot more freedom compared to those found on iPhones.The iPhone might be the last word in smartphones for some people, but Android is much more customisable and you'll find apps in the Play Store that probably won't ever be offered to iPhone users.Today, most apps launch on both Android and iOS, but the most
interesting Android apps are exclusive to Android because they do
something Apple wouldn't allow.
1. Nova Launcher
Nova Launcher is one of the best launchers for Android, and one of the most customisable. It lets you do all sorts of things that you'd have to jailbreak an iPhone to replicate. You can have 3D transitions between home screens, change the appearance of icons and much, much more.
Price: Free
2. Tasker
With over 200 built-in actions, Tasker is another great app for deciding what your phone will do when a certain "action" occurs. You can create custom actions based on the app, time, day, location, event, widget, or shortcut, and there's even an built-in platform for creating and selling your own app.
Price:$2.99
3. Twilight
Staring LCD screens just before bed is a bad idea. Twilight changes your screen's colour temperature according to the sunset (or times you set) to reduce the blue light output which is proven to stimulate the brain and prevent you nodding off quickly.
Price: Free
4. Cerberus Anti-theft
Cerberus does a lot more than just let you track your stolen device. You
can control it remotely using the website or via text message, sound an
alarm even in silent mode, wipe everything, lock the device with a
code, record audio from the mic, see a list of sent and recieved calls
and even hide the Cerberus app so the thief doesn't notice it.
Price: Free trial
5. Airdroid
Want to wirelessly access your Android phone's files, messages and more
from your PC? AirDroid lets you do it for free. Like Mighty Text, below,
you can send and receive SMS messages, but you can also import and
export apk files, view and mange photos, and even view the phone's
screen in realtime and take screenshots!
Price: Free
6. HoverChat
HoverChat is a messaging app that lets you continue your conversations even while you're using another app or watching a movie. By resizing and deciding how transparent you want the messaging window to be, you can customize your messaging to fit what you're up to.
Price: Free
7. Light Flow
If your phone has an LED light for notifications, Light Flow will let
you assign a custom colour for when you receive a text, email, phone
call, calendar reminder or even when you're running low on battery.
Price: Free
