6 Great free Apps for Android Smartphones

Recently I wrote a post about my new Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone. Now it is time for a post about some of the favorite apps I have installed on it. Like most other people I have of cause installed apps like Facebook, Twitter and E-mail on my new phone, but besides those apps here are 6 other great apps I have installed and use very often.

1. Go Power Master

GO Power Master

I do love my new smartphone, but one of the first think I needed to find was an app to reduce the power usages of my new phone. Go power is really a great app helping with that. You can configure it in many ways, to reduce power usages. E.g. will it disable Wi-Fi when the screen locks gets activated. That is a really big power saver on a modern smartphone, but Go Power master lets you make your own profile that you can customize the way you want. Go Power Master is also available in a Pro edition

 

2. Endomondo Sports Tracker

Endomondo_ Sports_Tracker

I like to stay in good physical condition via both cycling and running. However I still am a geek and love to keep track of my activity. Endomondo is a great app for just that. You can see all kind of info about your activity and you upload it to Facebook if you want your friends to feel bad about themselves not being as active as you 😉

 

3. Evernote

Evernote

Evernote is a great app to keep your notes organized and accessible anywhere. I enter all kind of information that I found useful to have with me on the road. When I am at home I keep them updated in my browser and when I need the information somewhere I can access them at all time from my phone. I use Evernote for to-do lists and even some times if I get an idea for a blog post I write a note on Evernote so I don’t forget it when I get back home.

4. Wi-Fi Analyzer

Wi-Fi Analyzer

Great app for analyzing and testing Wi-Fi signals. A lot easier than carrying around a laptop to find the best spot. It is a also good to find the best available channel in the neighborhood for your Wi-Fi router.

5. Handy scanner

Handy Scanner

This app lets you use your Smartphone camera as a scanner. You can use it to scan documents and upload them to Dropbox or send them as e-mail. This way you can always have your documents with you on the go. Handy Scanner is also available in a Pro edition.

6. IMDb

IMDb

Have you ever been sitting in your couch watching a movie wondering in what other movie you have seen this actors/actresses? You could of cause start up your computer, but why not just reach out for your smartphone and use this great app to search the Internet Movie Database while you can still keep an eye on the movie you are watching 🙂


You can find all the above apps on Google Play and they are all free apps for you to download.
Please drop me a comment below and tell me what your favorite Android apps are.

203 Thoughts to “6 Great free Apps for Android Smartphones”

  1. Thanks for the tip on the Go Power app. My android phone sucks power like nobody’s business. I use an app called CamScanner that sounds a lot like your Handy Scanner app. It uploads to a lot of different places like dropbox, google drive, box, etc. and does some other cool things too. I think they might have a pro/premium version as well. I try not to DL a lot of apps — especially ones like wikipedia or IMDB that have really good mobile sites. Have a great day!

    1. Hi Tom
      You should give Go Power Master a try. It has done a major difference on the power usage of my phone. God point you got about not installing apps that have great mobile websites.

  2. That Power Master is the killer app!

    Right now I only use my Droid Incredible for testing websites, but man does that power go quick.

    I’m going to grab that and hopefully shut down some of the non-essential stuff…

    1. Hi John
      I hope it will resolve your power issue. I has been a big help on my phone.

  3. Karen Woodham

    Great collection of apps there Thomas, I’ve just got rid of my iPhone and moved to an Android, got so used to my Nexus 7, it was the next step really.

    One of the apps I always must have on any device is IMDB, you know why 😉

    1. Hi Karen

      Of cause you have IMDB on all your devices 🙂

      1. Karen Woodham

        lol you know me so well Thomas 😉 On a serious note though, I do have to say that the Android is certainly out performing the iPhone (or whyPhone as I used to call it), probably one of the better decisions I’ve made when it comes to a new phone.

        1. I have never had an iPhone, but I hear more and more people switching to Samsung phones with Android. What phone do you have now?

          1. Karen Woodham

            I Moved to a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2, does what I need it to do, great on my budget and it’s fast 😉

  4. Mikemilton

  19. Todd - iPhone Application Developer

    Hi Thomas,

  23. Endomondo Sports Tracker is the one of the good app i use in my android mini laptop

  24. Handy scanner and Wi-Fi analyzer are most amazing apps for smart phones.Nice blog.Thanks for sharing.

  25. Hi Thomas,

    I recently purchased Galaxy Note 2, i know its an amazing phone but as everybody knows android phones have below average battery life compared to other operating systems. And the Go Power master and similar kind of apps like Battery doctor etc. And i have been experiencing great response but i am confused that by using them will these apps affect the battery life in real ?

  26. Shaun Hoobler

    Nicely done. Will download the Go Power Master now on my Android phone. With how I often I use it, it badly needs to prolong its battery life.

  27. good …i never know about the handy scanner…today i must download it

  28. I love the WiFi and Handy Scanner App, they are just amazing.

  29. Elina

    That Power Master is the killer app!
    Right now I only use my Droid Incredible for testing websites, but man does that power go quick

  30. I have windows phone so i can’t use all apps there but i have used handy scanner and that’s too good.

  31. Ronaldo Ferrer

    Hi Thomas,

    I’ve been using Wifi analyzer since last year and I’m really satisfied with it. Anyway, I love the list of the other free apps you’ve mentioned. Right now, I’m planning to download Evernote and Go Power Master. Thanks for sharing! 😀

  32. Alain

    I really like the free app Llama to set up some profiles to switch WiFi or Bluetooth on/off, reduce volume or screen brightness, etc…
    It is very clever, it uses the telecommunication masts to find out where it is. You just need to “teach” it what masts belong to what areas, and off you go!

    1. Hi Alain
      I have heard other speaking good about Llama too. Maybe I should check it out.

  33. Lalith

    Hii Thomas

  87. Jesse

    A rather good list. However, these apps are on the play store. There are great apps off the play store that are just as productive and useful. The only one I use for this list is the battery saver. It works fime for me so far.

  88. Hey Thomas, nice and helpful list indeed. Is there any other way to find out better sports or movement tracking apps on Google play store officially? Also I’ve a concern whether these apps work without any other health gadget or not. Thanks again. 🙂

    1. Hi Kailash
      I must admit that I stick with Endomondo when it comes to sports app. I is everything that I need and I am not even having the Pro version. I write a post about it a while ago:

      1. vijay

        haha ,,, you are quite lucky then bro, in india its a major problem 🙂 😛

  91. Aishwar

    Endomondo sports tracker. Yeah it’s helpful. Especially if you started to work out to be yourself fit. Sharing option is killer.

    Wifi analyzer. I’ve used it. In my location there are 5-7 active wifi networks. It helped me choose the best channel. I boosted my home’s wifi signal. That’s great. It also reduced my tablet battery usage.

    Cheers.

  97. shubha

  108. tarek

  113. Rahul

    Hey Thomas!
    I must say, You have shared amazing free apps for Android. I have to say that, You have too much similar taste like me. Will give Handy Scanner a try for sure.

  114. Handyscam all the way! It has been a life saver for me.. Never had to use a real life scanner.. It’s been years now. I used to enjoy using CamScanner but this works great..

  115. You can also include ColorNote, a very handy and smart note taking app for android smartphones or devices.

  116. i think you should make a new update and add some new apps like udemy app to start learning, candy crush to start enjoying your free times, and Du Speed Booster to speed up android phone 🙂

  117. Ragul

    Great list. off the track i use Wi-Fi Analyzer which does a good job and will try other apps in the future…

  118. Rezaul Karim Arif

    I don’t support people using Battery saver for ANdroid. IT doesn’t do any good. It kills your battery.

    http://byteziif.com/how-to-become-an-android-developer-with-google-courses/

  119. Hey there hi,
    I liked the Wi-Fi analyzer app i will download

  123. Thanks Thomas for creating such a wonderful post. However in 2k15 there is another great free app called Pocket which let you save all your favorite bookmarks all in one place!

  124. Evernote is the best android apps.. and best for the writers like me….

  125. Endomondo is still the best, same with the Go Power Master which is changed to GO Battery Saver now.
    Nice list.

  126. Pramod

    Thanks for the list, most of the apps are well popular and known but didn’t knew about the Endomondo but will go to try it.

    Thomas I’m benefited by Battery Master & WIFI analyzer really awesome apps. But most of my friends comment that Battery master is bloody apps!. They told it’s waste the battery power instead of save energy.
    So, is there any device compatibility issue in this problem?

    1. Hi
      I must admit that I don’t use it on my current phone, but I used it on my old phone with great results. It might be a matter of the phone and how you configure the app.

    hi Thomas,

    i prefer Du Battery Saver than any other battery Saver app, what do you think?

    i was already using Evernote as my daily driver app. and i will try rest of all.

    thanks for sharing 🙂

  156. allmobiletools

    i am using wifi analyser my personal experience says it is excellent app,

  157. Fey

    I use evernote. It is dope especially because I can login on desktop too.

    I should probably try the sports one and see how it works.

  158. Dhruv kumar

    I think handy scanner is a useful application it help us in many ways using your phone as a scanner a lot of pc work can be done using a smartphone it is a relevant app to use

  159. i think you should make a new update and add some new apps like udemy app to start learning, candy crush to start enjoying your free times, and Du Speed Booster to speed up android phone

  160. The outstanding app there for me is Evernote. Evernote is a must have, but I’m currently having problem with Evernote. After changing to a new device I haven’t been able to install Evernote on the device. I don’t know what may be causing this?

  161. Wi-Fi Analyzer & IMDB are the apps which I love most. Thanks for this article. 🙂

  162. GoPower and Handy scanner are two of my favourite apps from your list. Thanks for this article and useful apps

  163. Ghoomato

    Video Call is a nice to have feature but WhatsApp misses features that would be greater in a day to day basic use, for example the ability to store medias on a SD instead of the phone memory

  164. i use go power, handy scanner a lot. both are killer apps and i think widely used apps throughout.being an ios developer i am trying to make such killer app but till now didn’t got any success.

  165. Hi Thomas,

    I’ve been using Wifi analyzer since last year and I’m really satisfied with it. Anyway, I love the list of the other free apps you’ve mentioned. Right now, I’m planning to download Evernote and Go Power Master. Thanks for sharing!

  166. I surely do need the handy scanner. As have to send a few fils over the email to my subordonates sometimes and it can be a little annoying calling them all the time and also to get a print out of of the work everytime I need to get a work done with. Thanks and cheers to the amazing article.

  167. Ferdie

    Nice list of apps for android smartphones. This is a must read for everyone who have just gotten a new android device. Thanks for taking your time to compile this list

  168. Thanks for the tip on the Go Power app. My android phone sucks power like nobody’s business. I use an app called CamScanner that sounds a lot like your Handy Scanner app. It uploads to a lot of different places like dropbox, google drive, box, etc. and does some other cool things too. I think they might have a pro/premium version as well. I try not to DL a lot of apps — especially ones like wikipedia or IMDB that have really good mobile sites. Have a great day!

    PS. check my blog, and suggest i am new to this blogging thing.

  169. Nice article. I find evernote to be the best app that I’ve ever used. I’ll give others a try.

  170. Joeanz

    I really like the wifi analyzer because it helps to determine where the most good signal when in the area wifi area. Thx for information

    Go Power Master is my favourite, saves power and makes me do more even when I am in a place with inconsistent power supply.
