Here is a brand new device. Whether you're migrating from another operating system to, or just trying out the world of smartphones, you'll definitely need a set of essential apps to get you started. Next, we will tell you about a few of them.

ES File Explorer

Perhaps the most powerful yet intuitive file manager. Everything is here. Tons of settings, tools, browsing files on your computer, FTP access, Wi-Fi Direct for file sharing, managing root directories and much more. You can also connect several cloud storages to ES File Explorer at once.

Messengers have firmly entered our lives, and WhatsApp is their brightest representative. Just having the Internet is enough to start chatting with friends, making calls, participating in group chats, sending images, voice recordings, etc. In principle, it doesn’t matter what you install: WhatsApp, Viber or Telegram. The main thing is to have at least something, because your friends are probably already using some messenger from this list.

AirDroid allows you to "link" your computer (regardless of OS) and smartphone in such a way that all notifications will be transferred to the desktop. In addition, you can remotely launch applications and access files. Interestingly, AirDroid does not require a separate program on the computer, but works directly in the browser.

If for some reason you are not satisfied with the standard contact manager, then you can install one of the best third-party solutions in the form of Contacts +. The program automatically synchronizes the list with friends on Facebook, Google Plus and other social networks, thus adding more detailed information and avatars to existing contacts.

Truecaller will help you not to get confused during an incoming call from an unknown number. The application can automatically filter out spam and block numbers.

With WPS Office +PDF, you can easily open any office document or PDF file. However, the application is a universal solution for storing files of various formats and allows you to connect many popular cloud storages. The program is also rich in all kinds of settings for reading and editing documents.

In principle, this includes all social network clients that you use. Of course, most of them have specially designed mobile web versions, but clients make it easier and faster to access information. No wonder they are constantly in the top of the Play Store.

By the way, for devices with not the most powerful stuffing -

Chrome doesn't need much introduction. Perhaps this is the best browser for Android with the ability to quickly sync and save traffic. Often it is already installed on most gadgets, but if your device is not included in this number, then we advise you to at least try it. You will surely like it.

Google's new mailbox solution looks a bit odd at first glance, but many people don't return to standard Gmail after using it. In Inbox, you can set reminders, create labels and distribute incoming correspondence to them, postpone letters for later, and much more. Not so long ago, Google canceled invites, which means that anyone can try Inbox in action.

This was our list of useful applications that are worth putting on a freshly purchased device. Do you have anything to add?

One of the reasons smartphones have got huge widescreens is to watch videos. Processors today can consume almost no energy when the smartphone is in video player mode, and in terms of the number of formats that a typical Android smartphone “pulls”, it is even cooler than computers. In theory, it will handle both the ancient videos of the early 90s and the new 4K video.

In theory, because standard video players in smartphones are made according to the principle “if only something would be played somehow”. If you happen to record a bunch of movies from your computer to your smartphone to watch them on the go, you run the risk of finding that half of the videos either won't open or play without picture and/or sound.

MX Player is an excellent omnivorous video player on Android

All this can be fixed by installing a truly omnivorous player. There are many of them, but MX is one of the most authoritative and sophisticated among its kind. It plays any video and music in a very economical mode even on old smartphones, can make the volume in videos twice as high as a standard player (in films with a quiet soundtrack, this is very useful), switch between several types of voice acting, scale the frame with a “pinch” ”, as in photos, and open videos from sites in a convenient Android player.

MX Player itself is free, but it is loaded with ads. The ad-free version is already worth the money. The only trouble is that, due to the greed of patent holders, support for the AC3 format (multichannel sound in modern films) needs to be downloaded and “fastened” separately. But take my word for it - the player is very good and deserves such trouble.

ES File Explorer - clean your smartphone from debris and transfer files over Wi-Fi

A long time ago, when Android was a semi-finished product, there were no smart file managers in it. In order to flaunt before the owners of iPhones the fact “look, I have everything laid out in folders, like on a computer!”, it was necessary to download a separate application for managing files.

Those days are long gone, and now there are commonplace programs for renaming, moving or copying files in every smartphone. But there are no quality ones among them.

ES File Explorer will help you transfer files over Wi-Fi and clean your system of junk

ES File Explorer was one of the first noteworthy file managers on Android, today it has grown in breadth and can do much more than the average user needs. But an active android phone user will definitely need the following “goodies”:

• Ability to open files from the local network. For example, from a shared folder on your computer / laptop, or from a hard drive / flash drive that you plugged into the router.
• Working with archives. Someday they will send you a pack of photos, a Word / Excel document inside a .zip, .rar or something even worse. ES Explorer will be able to open such archives without problems.
• Drive Analysis. If the smartphone is full of files to the eyeballs, while it is not very clear why the place suddenly ended so abruptly, just press the "analysis" key in ES, after which it will show how much memory space is occupied by pictures / music / applications and games / documents, will arrange them from large to small and allow you to remove the "garbage" right in the same menu. An almost non-alternative function in terms of its convenience.
• Transfer files between smartphones at Wi-Fi speed. It is unlikely that you send photos, music and videos to nearby mobile phones as often as in the era of polyphonic ringtones, but Bluetooth has been and has remained a dull and slow method of communication since then, and the normal universal way to transfer files over Wi-Fi is not came up with. More precisely, they came up with, but only between identical applications. If you and your friend have ES Explorer, you can send large files in two clicks at the highest possible speed between mobile phones - the file manager has a "sender" function for this case.

WPS Office - Word, Excel and all-all-all

During the existence of smartphones, Microsoft Office standards files (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) were at first "unbearable" exotics, then a revelation with which everyone tried to edit texts on tiny screens. Today, there are no miracles in viewing and finely editing text in documents and presentations. Another thing is that such files (+ Adobe PDF documents) will be sent to you by e-mail from all sides, and there will be nothing to open them on a smartphone. You can, of course, keep the intrigue until you get to the desktop PC, but it is more reasonable to spend several tens of megabytes of memory on a ready-made set for opening and editing everything “office”.

WPS Office - Word, Excel and PowerPoint in your pocket

WPS Office (formerly Kingsoft Office, in case you're wondering) isn't the coolest office suite of its kind, but it's free, bug-free, fast, and doesn't lack features even when compared to expensive alternatives. Recommended.

Weather/news widgets - not to turn on the TV

As in the case of file managers, smartphones are not deprived of informers about the temperature outside the window and the latest news, but the quality of standard widgets almost always leaves much to be desired. Therefore, we advise you to decorate the desktop with informational details from other developers.

The appearance and functionality of widgets is always a matter of taste, but in our opinion, Yandex offers the least catchy and at the same time functional options for weather and news. A side effect is the constant “steaming” of search, the Taxi application and other company products.

Weather and news will make the smartphone desktop always an interesting sight

At first, looking at headlines and weather instead of “wallpaper” on your desktop will be unusual, but take my word for it - very soon you will begin to enjoy the fact that you will know all the main events in the world before TV viewers and news readers on the Internet. It is also not necessary to delve only into political conflicts - lovers of cars or electronic devices can only receive information on their favorite topics.

Shazam - find out what song is playing

Every day you hear music, among which there are songs from which you seem to be shocked. Because here, under this very song, you rushed under the Christmas tree as a child / were going on a first date / got a job / something else, but from the text in a foreign language it is still not clear what it is about, and you also don’t remember who He actually sings this song and what is the name of it.

With new smartphones, this is no longer a problem - you take out your “shovel” on Android from the wide legs, press the key. The smartphone listens to the song and calls the artist and the name of the song after a few seconds. That's what an app called Shazam is for.

Shazam: you will always know what music is playing nearby

Of course, Shazam, although it was one of the first, is far from the only one of its kind - Sony has similar applications, and even Google has recently begun to learn to recognize music. But Shazam has the largest knowledge base, so it's still the surest way to recognize music with a smartphone.

It seems to you now that such a function will not be needed regularly - when you begin to suffer after you heard a fragment of your favorite song, but did not find out who sings it, you will remember our words.

Currency converter - a tragedy with the dollar and the ruble in the lead roles

What are you laughing at? Have you already forgotten how you tore your hair on your head and rushed to stores for equipment in order to have time to buy it before the price tags are rewritten?

Of course, I would like to believe that the worst is behind us, and in the coming years we will not find sharp fluctuations of the ruble against the US dollar, but it will not be superfluous to keep an eye on how the national currency is doing so that later we will not learn the shocking truth last, from the evening news reports. And in general, a convenient tool for converting between currencies of different countries will come in handy on vacation and on business trips.

How is our long-suffering ruble doing there?

There are a lot of applications that can convert currencies, we will recommend one of the most obvious among them - Easy Currency Converter. Simple in appearance, with the ability to select "favorite" currencies and a chart with the dynamics of the exchange rate. That is, in addition to the current figures, you can always see how the ruble bounced / fell against the dollar over the next days, months or even years. Gourmets, by the way, can even glance at the so-called Russian Zen - the "holy trinity" of the dollar, euro and the price of a barrel of oil.

Messengers - VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, WhatsApp, Viber, Skype and others

A very naive item in our selection, but if you have just recently bought a smartphone, you should know that “smart phones” differ from simple ones by focusing on constant communication not only for calls and SMS in GSM networks, but also via the Internet. The ability to correspond in "ICQ" was in ancient times, but in new Android smartphones you have the opportunity to share huge amounts of information, video recordings, make video calls abroad for free!

A smartphone is an opportunity to communicate without regard to tariffs and distances

Because cellular operators have long transferred everyone to tariffs with a monthly fee, to which the serious shred of the Internet is “nailed”. This is enough to stop sending SMS and switch to communicating with friends and relatives online.

It is not necessary to install all instant messengers at once (although it is desirable) - select those in which you will keep in touch with someone. This will be enough.

Video on the network - "telly", online cinemas or short jokes

Of course, with a limited amount of traffic in the new cellular tariffs (Russian operators have removed the unlimited amount farther away in order to “milk” subscribers more efficiently) it does not allow to accelerate much, but the Internet package is enough for a certain amount of video entertainment. And with periodic Wi-Fi at home or at work, you can get out even more efficiently.

If you didn’t know, the “big three” (MTS, Beeline, MegaFon) mobile operators have applications for watching TV via 3G/4G without spending traffic from the tariff. In MTS, for such a pleasure, they want a little money in excess of the tariff, in Beeline there are a small number of free channels + paid ones, MegaFon varies the number of free tariffs depending on the amount of the subscription fee for your tariff. In any case, if you would like to watch TV away from the "box", pay attention to such services of cellular operators.

TV, movies or short videos - Android has it all

And if, on the contrary, you don’t want the TV to reach you from your mobile phone, install an online cinema for yourself to watch feature films or music videos. The most popular applications of this kind remain ivi.ru and Megogo, among unofficial (which are not on Google Play) and completely free clients, one can note video mix , HD VideoBox and LazyIPTV.

Surely most people are thinking about how to make their gadget as useful as possible. Those who say that a phone is just a dialer have no idea how useful and effective a multimedia device their device can become. Today we will talk about what applications for Android are the most necessary.

Antivirus

Since we are going to create a powerful working platform from a common gadget, we will start by protecting it. Whether you will be surfing the Internet, downloading data (music and movies) from there, or just surfing, reliable antivirus protection is important for any device. Of course, such programs eat up the lion's share of resources even on personal computers, so you need to carefully install them on mobile gadgets. However, if resources allow you to install these applications, you will have to. These are almost the most needed apps for Android.

Dr.Web Light is a simplified version of the world famous antivirus. Perhaps the best solution to protect your device. Programs from this manufacturer are distinguished not only by reliability, but also by low requirements for device resources.

Avast! Mobile security is a relatively new antivirus. Nimble and good quality. However, judging by user reviews, finding a good version will be problematic. The Internet is full of links to installers with viruses.

Browser

No matter what the gadget manufacturers say, the browsers preinstalled on the phone and tablet are almost never convenient to use. Despite the fact that these are the most necessary applications for Android, developers treat them clearly carelessly. To replace less successful programs, you can use the following applications.

Google Chrome is the leader among browsers in terms of speed. It is small in size and reproduces information on the screen with high quality. In addition, it supports account synchronization. Thus, if you sign in to your Google account on another device, all bookmarks and history will be transferred to it. In addition, this application can use voice search, which is very convenient for people who have their hands full all the time (for example, drivers).

Opera Mini - once this browser was number one among analogues. The ability to work with many bookmarks bribed. And reliability with the absence of failures attracted more and more fans. But now, these "gadgets" will not surprise anyone. The only unique advantage that this application guarantees is that it works only with the Tele2 operator. They have a tariff that allows you to use unlimited Internet for 3 rubles per day, but only if you surf with Opera Mini.

Manager

The next item is the necessary applications for "Android" called file managers. Most mobile devices do not have any utilities for managing files in memory. You just download a picture, music or movie, and it gets lost in an infinite number of folders on your gadget. To organize and not lose the necessary data, there are file managers.

Actually, the choice here is small. Despite the fact that such a utility simply must be on every gadget, developers do not please us with a variety. You can download File Manager or File Manager HD, but they almost completely copy each other. These utilities allow you to not only view, but fully manage all data, including archiving.

Social networks

It is difficult to imagine a modern person who does not use social networks. Housewives look for recipes in public, teenagers just communicate and organize meetings, and respectable businessmen exchange information. Accordingly, what applications for "Android" are the most necessary? Of course, these are programs that allow you to use social networks without a browser, which means they save a lot of time and traffic.

Downloading such a utility is outrageously simple. All of them are named similarly to sites - Facebook, VKontakte, and so on. Free, and most importantly safe, versions are available on PlayMarket. By the way, this is another mandatory program that will be one of the answers to the question: "What applications should I install on Android?"

Navigator

You can discuss and argue for a long time what applications are needed for "Android" devices, but not a single driver can do without a navigator, even if he knows the city perfectly. Taxi drivers, company cars - everyone will need such a program to know how to get to a specific entrance.

The leader among the programs of this series is Navitel Navigator. This application has the ability to download multiple maps, voice notification. The positioning system works quite clearly and without overlays. Of course, professional navigation devices are much better, but for those who currently do not have the funds to purchase a separate device, they will be quite satisfied.

Cards

Any person who loves to travel cannot do without a roadmap. The times when we used a hefty paper medium are long gone, since the digital version is much more convenient, and there are no problems with recharging the gadget in a cafe or car. It's safe to say that maps are almost the most needed applications for a tablet. "Android" - a device of a smaller size, of course, can also work with them, but due to the insufficient screen size, this will not always be convenient.

Google Maps is the world leader in interactive maps. It allows you not only to explore the area, but contains real pictures of cities, so you can always find yourself "live" in the desired area and orient yourself. The main problem of the application is the large volume and the need to connect to the Internet to download data.

"2GIS" is a worthy competitor to the previous version. If you are going on a tourist trip to another country, you can download a map of the city you need in advance. At the same time, you will have on your device not only a road map, but also a complete list of city organizations, their location, public transport patterns, and much more. "2GIS" is a real mobile guide, useful for any traveler and not only.

Connection

Let's look at the necessary applications for Android in a slightly different way. Namely, programs designed for alternative communication. Mobile operators can advertise profitable rates for sending SMS and calls as much as they like, but the fact remains that if you have unlimited Internet (via Wi-Fi or just from a SIM card), it is much more profitable to communicate through it.

Once the instant messaging system - ICQ - was especially popular, but now most people prefer Viber. But what is the most necessary application is Skype.

This program provides you with a conditional opportunity of free video and audio calls to any other digital device on which the client of this program is also installed. If you are unable to speak, you can always just send a message. In addition, Skype allows you to instantly share any files without uploading them to file sharing services.

Additional programs

Despite the fact that we have already considered the necessary applications for Android, there remains a small list of programs that are still worth installing.

• Adobe Flash Player - for greater convenience of working on the Internet and not only.
• MX Player is a great replacement for the built-in video player on any device, simply because it includes more codecs, is able to open a huge number of file types, and has a handy library to organize your video files.
• Cool Reader is a great "reader" for your smartphone or tablet. With it, you can open most of the known text formats with books.

That's all. Our list of Must-Have Apps for Android is running out, but that doesn't mean you don't have anything else to install. You can certainly find plenty of other apps on the internet that will be useful to you in your particular area of ​​work.

The basic equipment of the smartphone includes not only pre-installed applications, but also those that you can download for free from Google Play, including in the form of APK files.
