Five More Must Have Android Apps

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a favorable review of the Samsung Galaxy S3, an Android smartphone that is capable of running version 4.4 (a.k.a. "Kit Kat") of the operating system. Since the writing of said article, I have found another five apps to make a list of. A couple of apps on this list will look familiar, as I have written individual reviews for them. Keep in mind that all of them are free, so there might be ad placement.

5) Tetris - Electronic Arts Click Here

This game has been ported seventy ways from Sunday since its initial debut on Nintendo's GameBoy. E.A.'s particular rendition is fairly decent and worth downloading. I have tried it a couple of times, and have not been disappointed by it. 

4) Acrobat Reader - Adobe Click Here

When I first saw this available in the Google Play Store, I might have scoffed at it. However, it has actually proven to be quite useful, because Google Cloud Print defaults to "Save as PDF" if you are using Chrome and it is also handy for storing coupons that are sent though a user's email address.

3) Messenger - Facebook Click Here

While not absolutely necessary, if you spend a lot of time on Facebook, it is quite handy to have. Apparently, a lot of Facebook applications that would normally be used in a desktop web browser instead have separate counterparts, and just like 'Words With Friends' and 'Candy Crush,' the chat feature of Facebook is no exception. I found this out the hard way when I tried to check a message using the regular Facebook mobile app.

2) Facebook - Facebook Click Here

As previously stated, it's pretty pointless to not have one app without the other. While the Facebook Messenger app allows a user to chat with others, the Facebook app allows a user to browse their news feed, as well as post status updates, and things like that. In a sense, it is the "Home" and "Profile" screens of the Facebook website, but redesigned for a user's mobile phone.

1) Remember the Milk - Click Here

This app tops the list because it initially got its own separate review (click here). It is a handy scheduling app that acts just like those old day planners that your high school used to give out for free at the beginning of the year and may or may not have had coupons included with them. I haven't had much experience with it, but I feel that once I either update my weekly goals, or enroll in college, it will prove to be quite useful.
