Android is a system that is made around apps and the Google Play Store has the largest collection of apps for them. Almost everyone downloads apps from the Play Store. But there are many awesome apps which can’t be found out there. To get these apps on your Android phone, you have to go through a process called “sideloading”. We’ll explain the process later.

For starters, there are various rules and regulation that are needed to be followed to register an app on the Google Play Store. And many times, it’s not possible for developers to comply with these policies whilst making the best apps for the public. Such apps are either banned from the Play Store, or they never make it to the listings.

But worry not. To help you with all this, we’ve decided to do something about it and have come up with our own list of the best Android apps which aren’t available on the Google Play Store or are banned because of Google’s strict policies.

Sep 01, 2019  Android evolves every year and so do the apps. There are a bunch of great ones out there, but some rise above. Here are the best Android apps, ever!

But before starting, please read the below note carefully.

Note: Enable the Unknown sources from Settings >> Security to allow installation of the apps listed here.

So here in this article we have selected and listed out best Android apps that are not on Google Play Store:

Best Android Apps not on Google Play Store

1. Fortnite

Probably one of the most popular games on the planet, Fortnite by Epic Games isn’t available on Google Play Store! The reason is because of the Play Store’s expensive proposition and Fortnite’s plenty-of-things-to-buy revenue model.

Google charges 30% of all sales done in-app in exchange of Play Store’s valuable promotion, distribution and payment services. Also, Epic Games is a massive company with enough infrastructure to distribute software updates and process global payments.

To install Fortnite, you have to visit its website and download Fortnite Launcher which will download the actual game.

2. K-9 Mail

K-9 mail is also one of the open-sourced apps. This, as the name suggests, is a very advanced email client for Android. It includes features such as Push IMAP support, WebDAV support, BCC to self, per account notifications, black/white themes, multiple identities and more.

The K-9 Mail app was developed by Jesse Vincent. He created a simple patch to the Email app in Android 1.0 when its creators hadn’t yet figured out how to handle community contributions. He built a version of his own and made it open source.

3. XTunes

This app is for those who like to download music and audio on the go. Unlike other apps available on the Google Play Store, the user has the freedom to store the songs on their storage.

Most of the songs can be found on this app from old to the latest ones. Also, most of the songs that you will download from this app will have prefilled correct metadata like artist, album, year, track, cover photo in it. So, you will not have to worry about those and will be able to organize your music efficiently.

Almost all songs are available in high quality. We have found that all of the latest songs are available in 320kbps quality. If you are a music enthusiast, you will know when you see it. Also, you can search for an entire album and the songs from that album will be enlisted. You will also get an option to download the search song from YouTube if it’s not available in the app’s database. In fact, we consider it as the best song downloading app.

4. QuickLyric

As the name suggests, this app will show you the lyrics of the song which is playing or any song that you are going to search manually. You might also be wondering that what’s different between Quicklyric and the other apps available on the Google Play Store like MusiXmatch etc.

The difference is that, here in Quicklyric, you will be able to download lyrics offline for all the songs in a single click. As I recall, other apps don’t allow it for free. Also if you enable the option to refresh lyrics automatically, this app will search and download them whenever you add a new song to your device. You can also set it to show lyrics once the track changes. Seems awesome right!

Update: The app is now also available on Google Play Store. Here is the Google Play Store Link.

5. Viper4Android

If you have a rooted Android device, probably you may have heard about this app. This is an equalizer app, but don’t even think that so what? This is not just a simple equalizer; it is the father of all equalizer. You can configure almost anything this app. However, this comes with a limitation. You will need a rooted Android device to run this app. If you don’t have a rooted device, then you can try Poweramp music player who will deliver the near same experience.

If you are a music enthusiast, you will love the audio output that you are going to receive from this app. Not convinced yet, then let’s list out all of the features that this equalizer has to offer:

• AnalogX
• Spectrum Extensions
• x86 Support
• Speaker Optimization
• Differential Surround / Haas Effect
• Fidelity Control
• Headphone Surround+ (VHS+)
• Auditory System Protection (Cure Tech+)
• We can’t possibly list everything. It’s such a long list :P

This is the best equalizer for your Android device. So what do you think? If you install this app, do let us know your experience with it.

6. Popcorn Time

First of all, let us know what comes to your mind when you say this app’s name? As the name suggest relaxation and movie time, this app will allow you to download your favorite TV series as well as movies with a single click. Now, when you are bored, you will not have to open torrent site and Google and stumble across the web to download the movies and tv shows you want. This app is godsend :D.

Several other apps are available on the web like Showbox etc. But none of these apps we found as complete and as bug-free as Popcorn Time. You might already start liking the app, but we haven’t told you the best part about it yet. You will also be able to watch the trailer before downloading, excellent quality of the video, select subtitles. And then you will just have to click the magnet button. This will start the download in your torrent client.

7. Torrent Search

There are lots of torrent websites available on the internet. Let us give you a hint, if you start counting all of the torrent sites, you won’t be able to count! But some of the popular torrent sites have all the things that we need and are regularly updated.

But for searching in these torrent sites will require you first to open this sites one by one and search for the desired thing. What if you can reduce this work and just search all of these major torrent sites with a single click. Well, this app will be able to do that.

Just enter what you want to download and hit the search button. It will search all the major sites and will provide you the results with torrent size, the number of seeders and leechers and torrent age. Now click on the torrent that you want to download. Then the download will begin in your default torrent client. You can also search for the top torrents of the day, month, year and all time. If you don’t have a torrent client on your Android device, we would recommend using Flud, one of the best torrent downloaders for Android.

8. F-Droid

You might be aware of the open-source. F-Droid consists of all of the apps that are available as open-source. Here you can download the apps that are not available on Google Play Store. You can find some of the apps listed in this article on F-Droid.

This app doesn’t consist of any pirated or cracked software. You might have heard about an app named “Black Market.” This app is nothing like that. This app is great for exploring the new open-source apps that you can’t find on Google Play Store.

MiXplorer is a file manager which comprises of many useful features. The design is quite similar to the Solid Explorer. In fact, you can say that it combines both ES File Explorer and Solid Explorer. It offers tab support and dual pane support which makes the working on different location simpler.

The features to connect best cloud storage services like Google Drive, Mediafire, FTP, etc. makes it even handy to control remote storage right from the file manager. It has its archive manager, e-book reader, file encryption, media player and many more features that you can explore by yourself.

10. Tubemate

You might also have heard about this app somewhere or may have read about it. As the name suggests, it helps you to download the videos from YouTube. It can also download and extract MP3 from the videos.

A while ago when downloading videos from YouTube was not against their terms and condition, there were several apps available on the Google Play Store to do that. But the new ToS doesn’t allow it. So you will have to rely on the apps that are not available in the Google Play Store, and luckily TubeMate is one of the best apps for downloading YouTube Videos.

11. Tachiyomi

If you’re interested in Manga, then you’ll absolutely love Tachiyomi. Tachiyomi is a free and open-source manga reader specially made for Android. You can read Manga from popular sources such as KissManga, MangaDex and more using this app. You can read Manga on the go after downloading them.

And there are a whole lot of modules available for Xposed which will make your android device awesome.

However, for Xposed to work, you will need a rooted Android device. Otherwise, you are out of luck. There is also an app known as Substratum (Available on Google Play Store) which is also perfect for customization. But it will also need a rooted device.

14. AdAway

Whenever you download apps for free from Google Play Store, they are likely to have advertisement popping all over it. It’s nothing to worry about, but when they are placed in such a way that every time you click it accidentally, it becomes annoying.

Also read: How to access blocked websites?

This app is one of the best ad blockers for Android will let you remove all the ads from every app on your Android device. Hence saving you some time and also in case some bandwidth. However, for this, you will need root access on your Android device. Also, there is a nice feature that you can check for the updates so that if a new ad network comes in you can block, so it won’t be able to display ads.

Also, note that if you disable advertisements some apps like XTunes will be stuck and it will not function properly as it used to be. However, this is not the case with most of the apps. Almost all the apps we have tried so far worked fine.

15. Lucky Patcher

Lucky Patcher is a handy app when it comes to removing ads, patching, remove license verification, modifying APKs, backup/restore and much more. You will also need a rooted device for this app. This app just can’t be explained in ordinary words. You will just have to try this app out to test its features. Do let us know what you think about it.

16. Lawnchair

You might be wondering what the heck is Lawnchair. Actually, it is the name given by its developer to the customized pixel launcher. Now you will think that how is it different from the Google pixel launcher that is available everywhere.

As you might know that if you want to get swipe to google now to work then you will need to turn the pixel launcher to the system app. This is only possible on rooted android devices but what about others. So, the lawnchair brings all the different customization on pixel launcher along with google now support.

17. YouTube Vanced

YouTube Vanced is a modded app from XDA Devs and Team Vanced. It has most of the features of YouTube Premium like Background Playback, Offline Videos, Picture-in-Picture, Themes, etc. Additional features like forced VP9 and HDR support, override maximal resolution.

It can be installed on both rooted as well as non-rooted Android devices. You can download YouTube Vanced by clicking here.

18. GCam (Google Camera)

Google Camera is available on play store, so why we have listed it here?

It is because when you install Google Camera on any device other than the Nexus or Pixel line, you will not get HDR+ mode. This is because Google made this feature limited to its own devices for now.

HDR+ is an image processing technique which takes multiple photos with different exposure and then combines them for the best possible result. It is far better than normal HDR mode and that is why photos on Google Pixel comes out amazing. So how to get this exclusive feature on your Android device?

The answer is modded Google Camera app. For now, this app is only supported on Qualcomm Snapdragon 820,821,835 and later chipset with Hexagon. The developer is trying to make this possible on every device and then the front camera will also have HDR+ in future.

19. Amazon App Store

The Amazon App Store was launched in 2011, soon after Amazon Underground app was shut down. The app is available in more than 200 countries. Just like Apple and Google, Amazon also charges 30% of the price of app / in-app purchases for the Amazon App Store.

The Amazon App Store features a free App of the Day, which lets you download a free app/game for free. When the App Store was launched in 2011, the free app was Angry Birds (ad-free). Amazon’s Kindle devices all use the Amazon App Store instead of Google’s services entierly. As of 2019, the Amazon App Store has more than 450,000 apps registered.

You can download the Amazon App Store by clicking here.

20. APK Mirror (Unofficial)

Every time a new app is released by a vendor, APK mirror is usually the first website which uploads its apk on their site so that you can download it and install it on your android device. Thumbs up for such awesome service :D

And it is trusted by every developer because they never mess with the APKs and insert malware or unwanted code. That’s why everyone loves them. But for some of us, it’s pain in the a** to open APK Mirror and search for android apps.

So the unofficial APK Mirror app will help you to browse through APK Mirror and lets you download your favorite Android apps right from the app.

21. Mobdro

Services like Netflix & Amazon Prime Video costs plenty of bucks. The price is decreasing slowly but for sure it will never be free. This is where Mobdro comes in. It is an awesome app which can stream live TV right to your smartphone.

There are more than 200 channels that you can select from. Additionally, it comes with Chromecast support which means you can easily cast it to a supported device. Though this app has ads it’s not annoying. There is also a premium version which you can opt for an ad-free experience.

So there you have it, our Top 21 Best Android apps not on the Google Play Store this year. Do let us know what you think about these apps and what was your experience while trying them out. If you have any better suggestion or if we have missed any app, do let us know in the comment section below.

Check XDA Labs :)

The Google Play store contains more than 2.7 million apps; some are masterpieces and others are real duds. Don't waste your time trying to sort through all of them on your own. We've picked out the 100 best apps for your Android phone, informed by our long history of covering the platform.

We organized our collection of apps into 14 categories, including music, productivity, security, and utilities, so it's easy to find the kind of apps you're looking for. Each app name also links to the Google Play page. Note that we don't include any games in this roundup; for those, check out our separate list of the best Android games.

If this is your first time with an Android device, 100 apps might be overwhelming right off the bat. Take a look at our list of 10 must-have Android apps instead, to cover all the basics. If your wallet is feeling a little light, know that many of the entries in both lists are free.

When we choose apps to include in our roundups, we're after those that primarily excel in two areas: function and design. A functional app is either unique in its capabilities or simply works better than others. Apps with great designs are a joy to use. Android 9.0 Pie introduced a good range of app-specific improvements, so we also prioritize those apps that use new system features and reflect the latest visual styles.

Every app on the list is excellent in its own way. Taken together, our collection is a snapshot of the Google Play Store's best apps at the time of writing. If we've missed your favorite app, be sure to leave a comment. We keep this list current, so your suggestions may make it into the next update.

We didn't forget about iPhone users. For the iOS faithful, check out our roundup of the 100 Best iPhone Apps.

Best Android Browser Apps

Brave Privacy Browser

Free

Brave Browser offers a host of features aimed at protecting your security and privacy on the web. For instance, it includes built-in blockers for ads, pop-ups, scripts, and third-party cookies. It even implements the HTTPS Everywhere extension, so you can ensure that your connections to sites are secure. The lightweight, minimal design looks great, too.

Firefox

Free

Firefox is lickety-split fast and has a clean design that is a joy to use. Mozilla makes a big point about how it doesn't collect your data, and we are pleased to see that the app comes with a full complement of security settings—including an option to protect your information from advertisers and a private browsing mode. Like the desktop version, Firefox for mobile has a robust selection of plug-ins, excellent tab management, and a dynamic start page for bookmarks and the latest headlines. You can even sync settings, history, and tabs with the desktop variant

Microsoft Edge

Free

Microsoft Edge allows you to easily sync web pages, bookmarks, and browsing history between your Android device and the Edge browser on your desktop. Top features of the mobile browser include an integrated reading view, news ratings (handled by NewsGuard), and a content blocker (powered by Adblock Plus). You can search with Bing using your voice or by selecting a photo, as well as earn points via the Microsoft Rewards program. Both Microsoft Edge's dark and light theme look elegant and are easy to navigate.

Tor Browser

Free

Privacy stalwarts rejoice! Tor now has an official (and modern-looking) Android app. The Tor project operates under the principle that 'internet users should have private access to an uncensored web.' Make sure to read the overview of how Tor works before you start using it, as it addresses specific types of privacy threats (and does so very well). The Tor browser may perform more slowly than other browsers, given its complicated inner workings, but that drawback should be negligible for the users who appreciate and rely on its protections.

Best Android Communication Apps

Facebook Messenger

Free

The problem with most mobile messengers is convincing your friends to sign up. But the odds are that most people you know are already on Facebook. This is handy, because the Facebook Messenger app is fantastic. It's simple, clean, and easily handles voice and video calling. But for me, the best part will always be the gorgeous stickers.

LinkedIn

Free

Most people are probably familiar with LinkedIn as a service only visited in times of desperation; after being laid off or after a day in the office so bad that you're just not going to take it anymore. While that might still be true, the LinkedIn app aims to be a companion to LinkedIn web service that you check every day. Sure there's the all-important profile pages showing off your work experience, and the handy tools for networking, but the service now includes visitor metrics and a newsfeed for a decidedly more social feel. It's also sometimes the only way to chat with a businessperson you're looking to connect with. It's like Facebook for grown-ups.

Snapchat

Free

At first, Snapchat was a little dangerous, popular with the hip and the young, and utterly baffling to everyone else. With Snapchat, you quickly snap and exchange photos with one or several friends. The app also supports video snaps, as well as voice and video calling. The catch is that whatever you send will vanish after a few seconds. It's just a fun and ephemeral way to share the world around you. New updates make the service much easier to use, let you save old snaps, and build ongoing public stories. The more things change, the more they just turn into Facebook.

Signal Private Messenger

Free

There are a lot of apps out there that pay lip service to security and privacy, but Signal was built from the ground up with the goal of letting people easily communicate without having to worry about being overheard. The Signal app is a complete phone and SMS client replacement (though it works just fine as a standalone app, too) for sending and receiving encrypted calls and messages. A recent update has greatly improved the app's look and feel, proving that security and usability don't have to be at odds.

Textra

Free, $3.99 for premium

Textra is an excellent alternative to Messages on Android. The app includes tons of visual customization options that you won't find with the stock messaging app, including custom contact colors, text bubble styles, and notification icons. Additionally, you get extra features such as text scheduling, the ability to blacklist contacts, and the option to rename group conversations. Textra also has excellent light and dark modes.

WhatsApp Messenger

Free

In a world rife with messenger apps, WhatsApp is among the most successful, boasting an enormous and dedicated user base. Add to that an integrated web version that lets users take their chats to the desktop. Recently, this app was bolstered by encrypted messaging provided by the minds behind Signal. It might just be the largest secure messaging service out there.

Wickr Me

Free

Sometimes the most secure message is one that simply doesn't exist. That's the thinking behind Wickr Me, a fully encrypted secure messaging service that even handles media messages. The twist is that you set a lifespan for each message, ensuring that your private messages stay private, the way Snapchat message do. And, if you doubt their security chops, here's what the company's founder told the FBI when they asked for a backdoor.

Best Android Food Apps

Cookpad

Free

Cookpad connects you with a vibrant array of recipes. Easily add favorite recipes, manage shopping lists, and find new recipes you'll love based on those you already like. Once you start using it, you'll have one less excuse to eat out.

Seamless

Free

Remember the bad old days of ordering food? You needed takeout menus, knowledge of the terrain ('will they even deliver out here?'), cash, and faith that the person jotting down your order got it right. Seamless takes care of all that, even letting you pay via credit card from your Android. The only drawback? It's not available in every city (or even every state), though it has expanded its range dramatically since it was first included on this list.

Untappd

Free

Untappd helps you record each brew you try along with a rating and tasting notes. Think of it as Swarm for beer! No more staring at a tap list, trying to remember which ones you've had before. The app also has a vibrant community of beer drinkers that can point you toward new discoveries and an extensive list of beers. It's also a handy way to find your favorite brew near your current location. While it's not perfect, it can change the way you think of beer.

Yelp

Free

It pays to be a little skeptical of crowd-sourced reviews, but Yelp can tell you a lot more than just what people thought of a bar, restaurant, or just about any other place where you spend money. Many locations list hours of operation, contact information, and menus, making it easy to find the perfect spot in your neighborhood or a new city.

Best Android Health & Fitness Apps

Clue

Free

Menstruators the world over will rejoice over Clue, a simple app with a beautiful design for tracking your period and predicting when the next will occur. Using the data you enter about your cycle—and other factors—you can use Clue to plan ahead, whether it's for pregnancy or just to keep ahead of your cycle. Reminders and a handy calendar tool can help take the guesswork out of life. Best of all, it's totally gender neutral, and not the expected pink.

Eve by Glow

Free

Tracking your period isn't just about knowing the cycle, but also the other factors surrounding it. Eve by Glow lets you track physical and emotional states, which can lead to some important insights when you take the time to interpret your own data. Eve also boasts a vibrant community and a wealth of information about sexual health built right in.

Fitbit

Free

You might know Fitbit from its popular fitness trackers, but the app that powers those devices works well on its own, too. Using your just your smartphone (assuming you meet the minimum hardware requirements), this fitness app can count steps and log activities to help you achieve daily goals. There are also social features, so you can compete against your friends. It's a must-have (really, you must have it) for Fitbit users, but also a smart choice for anyone looking to be more active.

MyFitnessPal

Free

This calorie counter and exercise tracker aims to help you lose weight the old-fashioned way—expending more calories than you take in. With its smart design and an extensive library of foods, it makes quickly logging the calories you take in and what you burn while exercising a snap. A barcode scanner makes it even easier to log that post-workout snack. This fitness app also plays nice with other such apps, so your data won't be tied up in just one place. MyFitnessPal won't give you a whole workout regimen, but it can make you more aware of your habits. PCMag has a full review of MyFitnessPal for the iPhone.

Runtastic PRO

$4.99

Runtastic PRO can do much more than just track your favorite running routes. This excellent fitness app keeps track of all sorts of useful data and can return information-rich maps to help you plan future outings. It also features a fully integrated music player, for a seamless workout experience. Use it for cycling, hiking, and walking, too.

Zocdoc

Free

Zocdoc makes it easy to research nearby doctors on your health insurance plan and book appointments from your phone. When you first sign up for the app, you can enter your insurance information manually or scan your card to get started. The app itself looks slick too, with a modern, bright design that makes the experience of scheduling visits less stressful. Zocdoc even saves your history of appointments and makes recommendations for future ones, so you can stay on top of your health history.

Best Android Music & Podcast Apps

Anchor

Free

If you want to record your own podcast, Anchor is likely one of the easiest ways to do it. This app lets you record by yourself or with friends and build out entire podcast episodes entirely from your phone. Anchor even implements some basic audio editing tools for perfecting each clip in the app. Recently, the service announced a monetization program for creators on the platform.

Apple Music

Free

Marking one of Apple's first forays into Android development, Apple Music brings the company's impressive musical catalog to Android. The app is built around Apple's subscription-based streaming service, which dishes up all-you-can-listen music for $9.99 per month, or just $4.99 for eligible students. It suffers a bit on Android for being divorced from the Apple ecosystem, however.

Bandcamp

Free

Filled with both up-and-coming and established acts, Bandcamp is one of the most exciting music marketplaces there is. The app was initially built around streaming songs you'd already purchased on Bandcamp, but now it's a one-stop shop for digital and physical band merch. If you want to keep your finger on the pulse of music, this is an essential app.

BlackPlayer

Free

Streaming services are all the rage, but if you still keep music locally, BlackPlayer is worth your attention. We particularly like the Discover option, which shuffles through 10-second previews of seldom-played tracks in your library continuously, until you decide on what to listen to next. There's also a built-in tag editor and a ton of customization options for button styles, fonts, themes, and now playing notifications.

Pocket Casts

$3.99

Android has struggled with podcasts (they don't call 'em 'Droidcasts,' after all), but Pocket Casts is here to help. This highly customizable app is great for chilling out with an episode of your favorite casts, and it can also sync among different devices so that you can pick up right where you left off. Time to start listening.

LiveXlive

$9.99 per month

While Pandora may have introduced the world to streaming radio, LiveXLive Powered by Slacker has refined it. You can listen to what Slacker thinks you'll like, or try out one of its human-curated channels and playlists. It also has hyper-specific playlists that appeal to particular tastes and moods, such as Yacht Rock. If you aren't ready to subscribe to Slacker Radio quite yet, you can try out its free version.

Songkick Concerts

Free

Songkick is the bridge between the music in your digital collection and concerts in your area. Once installed, Songkick scans your device for tunes and then lets you see when and where your favorite artists are playing. If you see a show you're interested in, you can also purchase tickets all from within the app. Add multiple locations to Songkick to catch concerts when you're on the road.

Spotify

$9.99 per month

With its huge inventory of music, Spotify has become a mainstay for free, legal music streaming. You can shuffle through smartly selected songs, find your favorite albums, or explore one of the service's excellent playlists. Close ties with artists means that new tracks are sometimes available the same day they hit the shelves in record shops. Those still exist, right? Spotify also offers a limited free version.

Stitcher

Free

Though its interface is a bit tricky, Stitcher connects you with just about every podcast out there. Podcasts are organized by subject, or you can just search for a familiar title. Shows can, in turn, be organized into playlists for a continuous stream. Once you've exhausted all your favorites, let Stitcher recommend something new. With a special emphasis on sources like NPR, CNN, and ESPN, Stitcher has a little bit of everything.

Best Android Productivity Apps

Any.do

Free

At its core, Any.do is a list manager. You can quickly create a shopping list and have it synced among your devices and even share the list with others. The app also doubles as a task manager, keeping you on top of what needs to be done. This very capable app sports many features, but we particularly like one called the Any.do Moment, which encourages you to take a second and review your plans for the day. Lists are one thing, but building good productivity habits is quite another.

Evernote

Free

Once you start using Evernote, this note-taking app becomes a powerful tool for organizing just about everything. Notes can be anything—text, images, audio, or a mix—and are organized into notebooks. One of its killer features is optical character recognition, which makes the text in images searchable. Cloud-storage makes it the perfect tool for organizing the little pieces of a project into a finished draft.

IFTTT

Free

IFTTT, which stands for 'if this, then that,' helps you create custom automations between various online services and devices without any coding experience. The mobile app makes it simple to set up these Applets (previously called recipes) on your own or implement any of the community-created ones. IFTTT is particularly great for controlling smart home devices.

Join

Free

For passing links, web addresses, or clipboard data between devices, Join is a great option. Setup and customization are easy and Join makes it simple to specify which notifications and actions you want to enable for each device. It even syncs SMS texts to a Chrome browser or the dedicated Windows 10 app. Unlike Pushbullet, it doesn't require a monthly subscription to use its features to the fullest. Our favorite features are its remote screenshot and screen-capture capabilities.

%displayPrice% at %seller%

Everyone needs to file their taxes every year. Most people will probably have an easier time using dedicated tax software (and some might still enjoy preparing them by hand), but more ambitions filers or those with simple tax returns can get away with using a mobile app. Intuit's TurboTax Tax Return App is the best one we reviewed this year. Among its top features are an excellent user interface, support for all major tax forms, and innovative help options. If you get stuck at any point, you can just open up the Virtual Assistant, which keeps a running dialogue of the help topics you searched for, or use SmartLook to connect to a tax expert via video chat.

Lightroom also notably syncs all these edits between the mobile and desktop apps.

Flickr

Free

Remember Flickr? The venerable photo-sharing service is an Editors' Choice web service, and the Android app has a lot to recommend it, too. It's more about the art of photography than the meme- and selfie-packed Instagram. Offering a well-designed interface and excellent photo and video editing tools, Flickr is more valuable than ever. Plus, the app connects you to the vibrant community of photographers on the service. Best of all, it can automatically back up photos from your phone. Free users can upload up to 1,000 photos and a $50 per year subscription gets you unlimited online photo storage.

Instagram

Free

Best Apk Apps For Firestick

It seems like just yesterday that Instagram was adding video. Then direct messaging. Then advanced photo editing put it on par with Photoshop Express for image correction and manipulation.

With a clean, minimalist interface, Instagram is the current king of social photo apps.

It even lets you make non-destructible edits to raw camera files and make adjustments to exposure and detail levels.

Use it to download titles, place holds on titles not yet available, and consume your borrowed content. The only requirement is a library card (or its digital equivalent).

With the close integration between Pocket and the Android sharing tools, you can pocket just about anything from your phone.

reddit is fun

There's no shortage of Reddit apps on the Google Play store and choosing one over another ultimately comes down to preference, but reddit is fun (RIF) is a great option to try. The default view features a dense, text-heavy layout which puts the best (and worst) of Reddit front and center. There's both a light and dark theme and tons of layout content customization options to try out, even if you don't opt for the paid version.

Amazon is the internet's marketplace; the one place where you can buy just about anything—and it's cheap too! On Android, two of our favorite features are the integrated Alexa voice commands and the photo search, which makes it easy to surreptitiously compare Amazon's prices to those of the brick and mortar stores it is killing. Amazon Video-related functionality has been moved over to its own dedicated app, but all of its other consumer services, including Fresh and Restaurants, make an appearance. Prime members rejoice; there's never been a better way to stay connected with your Amazon lifestyle.

Google Opinion Rewards is appropriately named. Google sends you surveys that ask you about places you've visited recently and you get Google Play Store credit for your participation. Polls don't come in very often, but you can increase your chances of receiving more, by enabling your location and answering surveys quickly and honestly when they do arrive. It's not going to earn you a ton of store credit, but it's enough to purchase an app or an album every so often. To add some perspective, one of our editors has earned about $64 since installing the app in late 2013.

Google Pay

Free

Google Pay has gone through many permutations over the years. Formerly known as Google Wallet, this person-to-person payment app from Google lets you easily send money without pesky cash or credit cards getting in the way. And in that role, it really excels. It's a strong alternative to our top choice, Venmo.

It's usually the app people ask about when the group is splitting up the check.

Best Android Travel Apps

Airbnb

Airbnb should be your go-to app for finding rooms, apartments, homes, and other unique accommodations when traveling, if you don't want to go with a traditional hotel.

Your choices are Dark Sky or Weather Bit.

Here in New York, it even tells you how many bikes are parked at local Citi Bike stands. This app keeps you in the know no matter where your travels take you.

Uber certainly has its problems. Between its questionable business tactics and its bad press, it's understandable to be suspicious. But the truth is that if you're looking for a way to get a ride, regardless of what city you're in, Uber will be there. You can even use it to order food in some areas. A great feature: You can request a wheelchair-accessible vehicle through Uber.
