Folks through this post I would like to share with you the most needed applications on your android device.Hope you know that android is having a well stocked app store for their users and only some of them are useful in your daily life.So from my android experience I would like to share with you the same.
For the past 2 years I have been using numerous android based devices and in my personal collection I have a Google nexus 7 Tab & Sony Xperia Z smartphone. I like them a lot and I spend most of my free time with them and pass my time, ironically 'waste my time'. And I have downloaded hundreds of apps from the Google Play Store. I have also downloaded some other apps outside the market which would help me in my day to day life.
Initially, I would like to classify the whole Play Store Apps to two sections:
- Utility Applications
- Games and Time Pass Applications
Utility Applications
The Kindle app puts over a million books at your fingertips.
It’s the app for every reader, whether you’re a book reader, magazine reader,
or newspaper reader—and you don’t need to own a Kindle to use it. Choose from
over a million Kindle books from the Kindle Store or enjoy popular magazines
like The Economist and Reader’s Digest with high-resolution color images.*
• Read Free Books—Choose from thousands of free ebooks such
as Pride & Prejudice or The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
• Shop for Books—Easily shop for ebooks, including new
releases and New York Times Best Sellers.
• Use the Built-In Dictionary, Google, and Wikipedia—The
Kindle app has a built-in dictionary that allows you to look up words instantly
while you’re reading your ebooks. Simply tap and hold a word to view its
definition or use the Google and Wikipedia links to get more information.
• Sync Your eBooks—The Kindle app lets you read the same
book across devices and automatically syncs where you left off so you can start
reading on one device and pick up where you left off on another device. The app
syncs your furthest page read, bookmarks, notes, and highlights between Android,
PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, BlackBerry, Windows Phone 8, and any of our
Kindle devices using our Whispersync technology.

book for free before you decide to buy.

screen brightness, background color, and orientation (portrait or landscape) to
read your books.

local library and have them delivered wirelessly to your Kindle app.

print editions and provide features to help students study smarter including
ability to highlight passages, add margin notes, and search for keywords.
Whispersync technology saves and synchronizes your bookmarks, notes, and
highlights across your devices.
