Most Indispensable Android Apps

Dot Commander Dot Commander 9,775 views 39 items 144 voters
The most indispensable Android apps allow users to perform almost any task from their smartphones and/or tablets, with just a few clicks. Whether it's an app that helps prevent sloppy typing (SwiftKey 3 Keyboard) or one that helps users find exactly where they need to go (Google Maps), these are the Android apps that many would be lost without. What are the most important Android apps you use? Vote them up! And add any apps to this list that you absolutely must have to function on a daily basis -- whether it's for business, or pleasure.

What defines "indispensable," anyway? It's an app for Android that provides some key function that you almost have to use to do anything. Certainly Words With Friends is fun, but is it truly indispensable? Probably not. Adobe Flash Player 11, however, is needed. Gmail is really important for communication. Arguments can be made that one app or another isn't truly indispensable, but that depends on the person. Don't let that stop you from adding Instagram because you love it, or Twitter if you can't stand to not know what everyone's doing all the time.

Now, it's time to vote: You decide what Android apps are the ones you'd be totally lost without.

    “ Record and share your GPS tracks with My Tracks.

    My Tracks records your path, speed, distance, and elevation while you walk, run, bike, or do anything else outdoors. While recording, you can view your data live, annotate your path, and hear periodic voice announcements of your progress.

    With My Tracks, you can share your GPS tracks and stats online:
    - Via Google+, Facebook, or Twitter
    - Using Google Maps, Google Fusion Tables, or Google Docs
    - As a GPX, KML, CSV, or TCX file

    My Tracks uses the GPS sensor in your phone to record geographic and velocity statistics, but the app also syncs with third-party biometric sensors, including:
    - Zephyr HxM Bluetooth heart rate monitor
    - Polar WearLink Bluetooth heart rate monitor
    - ANT+ heart rate and speed distance monitors (these require an ANT+ compatible phone)

    My Tracks is an open source project. If you like to contribute, please visit:

    "Glympse: The Coolest Thing Your Smartphone Can Do"
    -FastCompany

    Glympse is the easy way to safely share your location in real-time. No sign-up needed. No social network to manage. Just send a Glympse to anyone via email, SMS, Facebook, or Twitter. Your location is only shared for the duration you specify and then stops.

    Glympse works on all phones and tablets running Android 1.5 or newer.

    Note about PERMISSIONS: If you have any questions about which Android permissions we require or how we use them, please visit... http://glympse.com/perms

    Note about our WIDGET: Many versions of Android do not allow widgets to work for apps installed to the SD card. If you encounter this issue, moving the application back to main memory should resolve the issue.

    We LOVE TO HEAR FROM CUSTOMERS. If you have an issue or suggestion, please send us a mail at support@glympse.com or use the "Send us Feedback" feature in the app under Settings. We have no way to respond to you for more information if you post your issue in the comments of the Android Market.
