Is there a list of recommended android apps in the forum?

 

I have a friend that just bought a cheap smartphone and I said there's a list of best apps in linustechtips forum.

I have found none.

 

I want to know what apps Linus uses too.  ;)

 

Any category pls.

Recommended apps for texting, contacts, music, etc.

 

Thanks.

What phone did he get?

 

Some of my go-to ones are:

Helium: For backups

Convert Everything: Conversion App

Flashlight: Obvious...

Clean Master: Helps keep your phones storage as clean as possible (Removing caches, uninstalling bloatware)

Poweramp: Amazing music player with many features, $3.99

Soundcloud: Listen to music, better than Youtube for music

Quickoffice: Pretty much Google Drive for Android, helpful for school

Kii Keyboard: Great keyboard replacement for the stock Android one

ES File Explorer: Amazing file explorer, great step up from the stock Android One

 

That's pretty much all the useful apps that I have.

 

If you friend is tech-savvy I suggest he roots his phone to get access to great things such as overclocking you phone and other great tweaks.

My Current Build: 

Intel i5 3570K @ 4.4GHz 1.11V, Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, Asrock Z77 Extreme4, Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz, Samsung 840 EVO 250GB, Asus GTX 760 DCII Overclocked, Corsair CX600M

Just a <$100 phone because he is still a student. Are those free? is the free poweramp good?

How about battery saving apps?

Most of them are free excpet for Poweramp I am pretty sure. But there is always other ways to acquire them ;) Also I don't use any battery saver apps. Just keep you data off and your brightness low and you will be fine :)
