Initially, when you get the device, you are exposed to some pre-installed apps. These Apps have been installed by the OEM vendor to get you on the go.

But sometimes, if not always, you find the apps to be boring or annoying in most cases, and that’s when this post comes in – acting as a pointer to some apps that are really useful for droid devices.

Your better experience with Android devices is 80% based on the Android version the devices runs with, i.e: an android device of version 4.0 can never be compared with one running on 5.0 (lollipop) let alone 6.0 (Marshmallow)

Here are some Apps to get started with.

Quite long ago I realized that email is the worst thing on the planet, and have waited patiently for everyone else to get the memo. All thanks to the Google mail.

Google Inbox is among the superb options for any Android device. Instead of snubbing messages (as I used to do), Google Inbox lets you easily manage it.

That is why this app is very much essential (a must have) for you!. When you think of mobile photo editing, PicsArt Photo Studio brings not just filters but many more wonderful tools and features.

And if you’re a fan of Instagram, you can share your PicsArt creations to the envy of all your followers and rivals too.

Do Not Disturb

Do not disturb app comes pre-installed in newer devices but can also be download as an app in the Google play store. It lets you limit interruptions and silences your device so it doesn’t make sounds or vibrate when you feel like you don’t want them.

Benefits of “Do not disturb”

  • Silences all interruptions except alarms, this is so that you wake up on time.
