What makes a good smartphone? For the tech savvy out there, a smartphone is a mobile phone with almost the same capabilities of a computer. One of the best smartphones out there are the ones that use the Google Android OS. However, a smartphone is only as good as the apps you put into or else it’s just a regular mobile phone.

Here are the Top 5 Android apps that can increase the functionality of your unit.

First, there’s Google Voice. It’s a must have for talkers out there. Some of the features of the Android app are its capability to make your phone number private by allowing you to use a Google voice number instead of your real mobile number. It also increases your phone’s communications by allowing you to call virtually any device and countries.

Next there’s the Drop Box. For file hoarders out there, this Android app reduces the chances of creating duplicate files. It is frustrating sometimes when you created a word file and saved it, make a copy, edit the copy and then transferred the original file to your USB instead of the edited copy.

Heavy Android app users may also benefit with the use of an Advanced Task Killer app. If you open multiple apps at the same time, there’s a chance that the batter life will degrade. ATK will shut down extra apps at the click of the screen.

Here’s a nice app for note takers, the Evernote is a handy Android app that can allow you to take down notes and then sync it with the rest of your gadgets so you don’t have cluttered text files that will leave you wondering if it’s safe to delete or not.

Finally e book lovers will love the Amazon Kindle Android app. If you don’t like the original Amazon Kindle device because it lacks any type of functionality other than an e-reader, then the Kindle App for Android will turn your device into an e-reader! Enjoy your favorite e-books; make calls and more with only one device.
