Here are the best useful applications for Android, the most necessary programs for everyday work. Install them on your mobile devices and gadgets. Also read detailed review each android program before downloading the apk application to your phone. The Android version does not have of great importance; the main thing is that the smartphone or tablet is not too outdated.
We have selected the most useful applications for Android, making detailed review mobile programs, with all the associated pros and cons. Each Android application review contains screenshots and comments from real users of mobile applications. Any application in question on the Android platform can be downloaded for free - as an apk file - and installed safely. Also, you can read detailed description functions of a particular utility, study the application settings and main functions. At the bottom of the review there is a link to software for Android, so it will be easy to download the application on Android through our website or by going to Google Play Market.
Also in this section, we reviewed popular Android applications in various categories: browsers, cameras, archivers, torrent clients and other software. In general, we tried to make a selection of the most interesting “useful” programs for Android, so that one or another participant would not be too popular. After all, sometimes among not the most popular programs you can find a successful copy that is worthy of taking up space in the memory of your phone.
Greetings my dear readers! On Google Play Store There are a great many applications and their number is growing at an unrealistic rate every day, how to navigate them and identify the best ones? I'll try to make a list best android applications. I will try to make everything as structured as possible and into categories for better navigation.
No matter what you're looking for, this selection is sure to have the app you need. Enjoy reading and let me know if in your opinion the selection is not complete enough and some applications are undeservedly not included in this TOP.
Last year you really liked the note about, it’s time to make a similar TOP about applications (and if you want to run them on your computer, then you know what to do). I won’t use emulators - we’ll run everything on a smartphone and test it, so don’t worry about its relevance... everything has been personally tested on a live device and I can guarantee the full functionality of all the programs on today’s list.
Android interface customization
Users usually think about changing the Android interface when they have been using their smartphone for quite a long time and their soul requires changes, at least in external design systems. So the question arises, what interesting applications for Android exist that customize the appearance.
I repeat that I selected the list of programs according to my taste and opinion is purely subjective... but I tried to listen to the opinions of friends and did not use completely unknown programs - they are all very popular on Google Play and highly rated by users
Pixel Icon Pack
It's no secret that the flagship of the good corporation, Google Pixel, received a unique interface, so it was a matter of time to expect icons and design from this device. Meet the Pixel Icon Pack. In my opinion, one of the nicest icon sets (there are many more collections there, but only free ones from Pixel)
The screenshots below show appearance After activating the icons and design - it looks great to me, the smartphone interface has changed completely.
To apply this icon pack, you need to install it and click “Apply” in the application menu next to “Pixel Icon Pack”, do not pay attention to the English interface, everything in the menus themselves will be Russified. However, there is one small problem: to install this set of graphics you need a third-party launcher... the list of supported ones is quite large, I used Apex Launcher for testing (just click on the name and press the Install button)
I really liked this set of resources and can recommend it to anyone who is tired of the boring and boring appearance of their smartphone interface
Next Lock Screen
When I owned the Nokia Lumia 920, I really liked the lock screen on Windows Phone (especially the Bing pictures that changed every day). Unfortunately, this device no longer covered my needs and we had to part ways, but I still have nostalgia for the Lock Screen Lumiya. Imagine my surprise when I found out that Microsoft itself had released an application for the Green Robot, which allows you to see this screen on my Android device.
After launching, you need to set permissions for the application, in general everything is intuitive - a good alternative to the standard lock screen.
Of course, this is not an exact copy of Windows Phone, but the main features have been preserved. In general, a strange trend, Microsoft has given up on its own devices, but releases software for competitors’ third-party platforms
SwiftKey Keyboard
It is difficult to overestimate the importance of input methods in your smartphone, because we come across text typing every day. If you are not satisfied with the standard Android keyboard, then there is a choice - SwiftKey Keyboard and you will never go back to the stock keyboard.
What's the trick? is a customizable interface and themes. You can choose the location of the buttons, whether to display the number pad on the screen and at what moments to do it, and choose from hundreds of different themes the design to suit your taste. There should be no problems with the installation; quite clear prompts will pop up that will show you where to point your finger.
Apparently I have become so old that I have no desire to use third-party keyboards and I prefer to stay on the stock one from Android
Browsers
The list of the best programs for Android will not be complete without considering the most interesting browsers in my opinion. A modern smartphone is simply useless without the Internet nowadays, and it is the browser that shows us the contents of the World Wide Web.
Looking ahead, I would like to warn you that it is simply impossible to describe absolutely all web browsers - this includes Dolphin Browser or Puffin, all of them are slowly losing their popularity and can be found less and less on mobile devices.
Yandex.Browser - with protection
You can scold the Yandex company for a very long time for the policy of distributing Yandex Browser on computers, but for Android the application turned out to be simply excellent - I can recommend it to everyone and I use it myself. All thanks to the fast and stable operation of the browser, and the feed will help you find interesting information when you want to watch something, but you don’t know what exactly.
I really like that the search bar is at the bottom, it’s very convenient as the owner of a 5.5-inch device... on Google Chrome or Firefox they are at the top and you have to take the phone with two hands or try to reach this element with your finger.
Fast browser Firefox
On my computer I use Mozilla Firefox as my main browser, so I decided to include it in our TOP. To be honest, I’m a little disappointed... on a computer, filling up 5-6 gigs of RAM with a couple of tabs is a piece of cake, but as it turned out, on Android the fox also slows down in comparison with the same Yandex Browser. Otherwise everything is fine, maybe updates will fix the performance problem.
In Firefox, I liked the organization of work with tabs and the convenient, customizable browser start screen. However, if you have a fairly powerful smartphone, then you may like this browser - I do not recommend it to owners of ultra-budget devices.
Just a good and interesting web browser, definitely worth a look... who knows, maybe it will become the main one for you
Google Chrome: Fast Browser
It would be simply a crime to scratch a note about the best applications on Android and not mention Google Chrome. The most popular browser for Andryusha, but historically it didn’t work out for me. I've been using Fox all my life, and then I discovered Yandex.Browser... I'll leave the link just in case, since it's highly likely that it's already installed on your smartphone.
Overall nothing special, just mobile version one of the best browsers for a personal computer based on the Chromium engine.
An excellent browser from Android developers, but it doesn’t have a feature or something... something is missing to use it
UC Browser - UC Browser
Probably one of the best browsers, which is more relevant than ever since the leadership of Nokia and Symbiam... ah, nostalgia. However, surprisingly, the browser feels great on the new platform and has quite rich functionality.
A nice home page, a powerful ad blocker, a smooth interface, a night mode - these are just a drop in the wide capabilities of a web browser, I can definitely recommend installing it on a smartphone.
UC Browser is not only a browser, it is also a huge number of services available from the program menu
File managers
A huge advantage of Google's operating system is its open file system, so there are many interesting file managers for Android in the store. Now we will try to find out which of them deserve your attention.
ES Explorer
I think many will agree with me if I say that ES Explorer is one of best apps for android. True, the functionality has long gone beyond the scope of a simple file manager - over the course of several years it has grown very much, but this has not greatly affected performance... everything works as always quickly and without special problems.
What's so interesting about this guide? — Firstly, support for ZIP and RAR archives is important to me, since almost none of the stock ones can do this. When we start the program, we learn that ES Explorer can search all types of files on your device and it does this in real time - let's go directly to the application itself.
The picture below shows that you can use both the new menu and the standard file and folder structure familiar to everyone. The program now has a space analyzer that will tell you what large and unnecessary things lie in the depths of your phone and are crushing the free space on the drive. Of course, the free version contains unobtrusive advertising, but this is quite acceptable given the available functionality.
I tried to analyze free place your phone and you can see the result below, and in the picture on the right I was able to access a network folder on my home computer without any problems - at home via Wi Fi you can watch movies over the network, it’s convenient.
MK Explorer
If for some reason you don’t have a stock file manager, and you don’t need any other functionality other than viewing folders and copy/paste, the MK Explorer application would be an excellent solution. The program is incredibly simple and takes up virtually no space in the device's memory.
As in ES Explorer, there is the ability to browse both by category and a standard file manager with direct access to the file system.
If you don’t require much from a file manager, MK Explorer will come in handy for you more than ever
Social networks and instant messengers
If a couple of years ago the primary purpose of smartphones was calls, then in 2017 everything changed dramatically. Currently, calls have faded into the background, and social networks and instant messengers have come to the forefront - well, most people don’t buy smartphones to make calls, the main thing is that VKontakte works stably and you can call or send a message using Whats App.
In contact with
The undisputed leader on Russian market Definitely VKontakte, probably almost every smartphone has a client of this social network installed. There are a huge number of unofficial applications, but we will look at the most popular ones. So what's interesting about it?
I think many will agree with me that the viability of such clients is the functionality that is fully implemented and can repeat everything that is on the computer version. In general, if you don’t dig very deep, then all daily actions can be done from your smartphone without touching your computer.
Viber
Another interesting application for your Android smartphone is the Viber messenger. I didn’t use it for a long time until I persuaded my mother to switch from a push-button phone to an Android device. As it turned out, she had many friends abroad, and after Skyping on the computer, they all almost migrated to Viber and were satisfied.
Excellent application design, intuitive interface... animated stickers and other goodies captivate many users and there is no point in using competing solutions... but with the main task (these are calls and messages via the Internet) The application does it with ease and without any problems.
Almost all messengers are similar to each other - my advice: use the application that is more widespread in your circle
Whats app
The pioneer among Internet messengers was, of course, Whats App. Somehow historically it didn’t work out for me with it, maybe it’s just that the majority of my acquaintances are on VK and there was simply no need to install Whats App... however, it’s stupid to deny that this application is very interesting and copes with its tasks perfectly.
Verdict? — An excellent Internet messenger, not overloaded with useless functionality, nothing superfluous... what else do you need?
Telegram
Thanks to Roskomnadzor, the Telegram messenger has become very popular in Russia - the brainchild of Pavel Durov... messages in which no one will be able to read thanks modern methods encryption directly on the device itself, and not on the program servers.
Otherwise, everything is the same as everyone else, however, there are various groups and channels, which is a little more functional compared to analogues... however, there is no Russian language, but this is a small problem - it’s not worth the trouble to figure it out.
Unlike Viber and VKontakte, Telega has a huge collection of free stickers - for many this can be a big plus in choosing their main application
Maps and navigation
If not so long ago only top-end devices for a lot of money were equipped with GPS sensors, now satellite navigation is probably available even in the most budget Android device... and for navigation there are many interesting programs for the OS from Google.
Yandex.Maps - place search and navigator
As for me, the standard for the Russian Federation is the Yandex.Maps application. Why this choice? - My city is not in the same 2 Gis, but Yandex is full of organizations, and the presence of a people's map makes it simply mandatory to install.
I recommend that you familiarize yourself with all Yandex products - there are a lot of interesting and useful things there... for example, Yandex.Transport will tell you bus routes, which will be very useful for finding your way around an unfamiliar city
2GIS: directory and navigator
If you choose an application for orientation in large cities, then probably best choice will become 2GIS. It really helped me navigate Samara, everything works quickly and supports offline mode. On the map you can see not only streets and house numbers, but also have the opportunity to look into shopping centers and see the location of the pavilions inside.
The application works quite quickly and has a huge database of organizations with easy navigation - everything is to the point and nothing superfluous.
However, as I already said, there are no small towns on the list and my native Buzuluk is not here - this obviously cannot be counted as an advantage of the Android application
Multimedia applications
A modern smartphone without multimedia capabilities is practically useless. Quite often, the stock video player and gallery do not have the necessary functionality, but to our joy there are developments by third-party programmers who make a worthy alternative to standard applications.
What can we say about music, in the age of high-speed Internet and accessible distribution of audio albums, you don’t have to download albums to your phone - everything works great online with human sorting, names and covers (I remember we used to bother with tags and look for album covers - now it’s all available online and doesn’t take up any space on the device)
Photo and video
A standard video player is good only when there is nothing else... but in the Android world there are a lot of interesting alternative programs, and when it comes to multimedia, then here in general turn out the lights- Let's try to figure out what is worthy of your attention.
VLC media player
Surely many people are familiar with this player on a regular computer, I want to assure you that everything is fine with the Android version, no one has damaged this player and we can safely recommend it for installation.
If you often watch videos on your device, then VLC should be your default media player. Its arsenal includes support for a huge number of file types and incredibly convenient controls on the touch screen, and this is something that many applications from its big brother cannot boast of.
VLC already dominates personal computers, and this mobile app firmly positions it as the best in the mobile sector
MX Player
Probably a couple of years ago I would have called it the best video player, but currently, compared to its competitors, its settings are too confusing and there are difficulties with installing codecs... all this is achieved by the presence of advertising in the free version. I understand that developers want to eat, but there are alternatives on the market without it.
Compared to VLC, I didn’t really like the controls, but it’s more of an acquired taste. I'm not saying that the player is bad, it's incredibly good, but I give my sympathy to the competing software.
Pay attention to the Software and Hardware decoders - play around with the settings, this way you can improve the smoothness of playback and significantly save battery power
Piktures – Photo Album Gallery
If for some reason you don’t like the standard Gallery application, then try the alternative Piktures (no, I didn't misspell the word).
An intuitive and clear application for Android that will make organizing your gallery more convenient and viewing photos easier.
For many, the function of sorting by calendar or setting a PIN code to enter the gallery will be useful; this is much more functional than the stock application
Music
Many people cannot imagine themselves without music, so I decided to introduce you to a couple of interesting applications for Android to diversify your collection and bring you closer to music.
Yandex.Radio - online music
If earlier online radio seemed to be something incomprehensible and why is it needed when there is a regular one... now Yandex.Radio is one of the best music applications for Android. We choose a genre or mood and enjoy the music selected for us - songs can be skipped, this gives an advantage over regular radio stations... we always have a choice - to listen to a given composition or not
There is also Yandex.Music, but I don’t include it in the top because it’s paid... but this is one of the applications for which I bought a subscription, from now on there is no point in looking for songs on the Internet - everything is available online and in excellent quality .
You can use Yandex.Radio on your computer without any problems - these are all standard Yandex services and everything is available directly from the browser on their website
Google Play Music
When Google gave away 3 months of free use of their Google Play Music service, my inner Jew woke up and I purchased a subscription. Even though it was free for me, after using Yandex.Music I was never able to switch to the Google service... however, it’s here for a reason, if you haven’t used any of these programs yet, perhaps you’ll like Google Music more.
I really didn’t like the lack of rewinding tracks in the application, although this option is present in the browser version... and the interface as a whole is not very clear, but it’s more a matter of habit...
As I understand it, Google launched this service for Russia not so long ago, so in the future we are waiting for improvements and additions to the collection of tracks (I hope the situation will get better with updates).
Results and food for thought
Friends, it was very difficult for me to write a note about the best applications for Android - I installed it all on my phone, tested it, took screenshots and tried to find the pros and cons of each program. I understand that you can also add weather applications, online shopping and many other wonderful applications here.
I’m afraid that it’s simply impossible to describe everything you want, but I tried to present you with information as detailed and structured as possible... however, if I missed a really worthwhile application, write in the comments, we will definitely add them to our popular top of interesting programs for Android. All the best!
I have been using an Android phone for a long time and on my website there is a menu section “Android”, so I decided to provide my selection of applications.
Again, this is mine and there are practically no applications in it that are recommended on other sites. To other website owners on the Internet - read the same ones as if they were carbon copies.
One more point - I provide only universal applications that can and should be installed on Android by all owners of smartphones and tablets, and not narrowly focused ones in one category.
For example, many people are only interested in games, but not everyone, so I won’t mention Android applications “not for everyone.”
Of course, it is impossible to create a list that will suit absolutely everyone: some live in the village, others in the city, some have the Internet, others do not, and so on.
My applications or programs, designed for the majority, are certainly useful and are not intended for gimmicks.
It would probably be better to start with a browser, because without it Android loses all its attractiveness, although the first thing that Android owners use most often is messaging and the camera.
Applications for both are installed by default. There are others, of course, but they don’t really stand out, and deleting the built-in ones is not always possible, so why clutter the device.
NOTE: all the applications I offer can be easily found and quickly downloaded from Google Play, so I don’t write links.
The second application that needs to be installed on Android is Flashlight
Flashlight is a flashlight application. Of course, it won’t be used all the time, because we spend most of our time during the day and sleep at night.
There are only times when absolutely anyone may need it, moreover, it does not require the Internet.
In the Google Play store you will find dozens of free ones, so you will have a large choice - I recommend experimenting.
The third application that needs to be installed on Android - catch the answer
Androids are most attractive to schoolchildren - for them it is prestige and frequent disputes about who is cooler.
School, of course, fades into the background, but there is an application that will allow them to help with something - it’s called “Catch the Answer.”
This is an amazing mathematical calculator that not only gives the correct answer, but also solves problems with examples.
The fourth application that needs to be installed on Android is RoboForm
To enter there you need to enter a username and password, but you won’t need to do this if you install the roboform application.
Roboform will always fill out all the fields on all sites for you. Surprisingly not true? For example, I very often log into at least 20 sites where I need to enter a login and password.
It’s hard for me to remember them (it’s dangerous to put the same ones), but the robotic form has no problems with memory.
The fifth application that needs to be installed on Android is Navitel Navigator
We all sometimes find ourselves far from home, and the Navitel navigator application can help us navigate in unknown areas.
It does not need the Internet - it connects directly to the satellite. Having it, you can be sure that you will always return home by the shortest route.
Of course, this is not all the features of this amazing application - try it, you won’t regret it. I recommend searching on torrents, you can guess why I won’t write. 
The sixth application that needs to be installed on Android is Yowindow
Yowindow is an amazingly beautiful weather forecasting program. She is certainly not the only one, but the others cannot be compared.
After choosing your city, look out the window - if it’s raining, then it will be pouring in the program, if it’s snowing, then there will be snowdrifts in the program, if it’s cloudless, then you’ll see a sunny day in the program.
Also, at your discretion, you can specify a village, city, beach, and so on for the interface.
The seventh application that needs to be installed on Android is Root App Deleter.
Root App Deleter is a program that can be said to delete non-deletable files.
We constantly install various applications, and then some can become stubborn when uninstalling them.
Also, to optimize Android, many people delete system files, thus increasing the performance of their devices.
Having Root program App Deleter, you will get rid of many problems or at least simplify the process of ridding your device of unnecessary files.
The eighth application that needs to be installed on Android is the remote control
Now everyone has a TV with a remote control, but you can do without a remote control if you have a built-in program.
Which one depends on the TV - I have LG, as in the picture above. You may need another one, for example, Samsung.
These programs even surpass remote controls in their capabilities and work from a much greater distance.
The ninth application that needs to be installed on Android is transport.
Anyone who lives in the city uses city minibuses and knows how painful the wait is.
The solution is to install an application on your Android that will show where the minibus, trolleybus, tram is currently and how long to wait before arriving.
Almost every city has its own individual program. For example, I live in Ukraine, the city of Ternopil, and my city’s program is called “Where is the transport.”
I just looked at how long it would take for my minibus No. 25 to arrive at the installation.
The tenth application that needs to be installed on Android is Assistant
In conclusion, entertainment and help. This is an assistant program. You can even talk to her - she will answer all your questions.
Moreover, he will read SMS, mail, launch a program or find on the Internet what he ordered.
I will end here, although there is a lot that can be written, because there are more than 1 million Android applications, but only a few of them can change the way you use your phone.
The ones I've presented above will fill in some of the Android feature gaps, making your phone even more enjoyable to use.
In addition, they are free (with the exception of one, but anyone who wishes can find it on the Internet for free).
My top 10 programs should appeal to everyone and be useful. Didn't you like it? Write about it. Your opinion is very important to me and the readers. Good luck.
There are mobile applications that, despite all their advanced functionality, should not be installed on an Android smartphone. Typically, these applications include energy- and resource-intensive applications. And even more so, special vigilance is required when it comes to applications that top the ratings of resource hogs.
One of the latest ratings contains results as of the beginning of May 2017.
GooglePlayservices
The application is a tool used to update Google applications and applications obtained from Google Play. If you delete Google app Play services, some other applications may not work. By default, the Google Play services application is used; it is not recommended to remove it. At the same time, this application is one of the main battery drains. Therefore, if the problem of battery life is severe enough, then you can remove this application. To update other applications, you can temporarily install Google Play services. And then, after completing the update operations, remove Google Play services again.
The Facebook mobile app doesn't need much introduction. Social networks have become a part of our lives. Today social network For many people, Facebook replaces the morning newspaper as a source of news.
The Facebook mobile application, in addition to its many advantages, is also a universal resource hog: battery charge, memory space and data traffic. An easy alternative to the Facebook app is to access the social network through a regular browser. For more convenient access, you can create a shortcut on your smartphone desktop with a URL that will allow you to directly launch the Facebook website.
For example, in the Chrome browser, such an operation to create the specified shortcut is called Add to Home screen. When using a browser, in the process of clearing history, it may be necessary to delete passwords and autofill data. There is a risk of forgetting your social password Facebook networks. You can store passwords using a free password manager, such as Dashlane. Another alternative to the Facebook app is to use the lightweight Facebook Lite app.
ChromeBrowser- Google
Without exaggeration, we can say that the Chrome browser is one of the best browsers. Many other browsers also have their fans. In many situations, using Chrome is the best solution.
If your smartphone has small amounts of memory, then it is preferable to refrain from installing this application. There are many alternative browsers that are less resource-demanding - AOSP, Dolphin Browser, Opera Mini, UC Browser.
CandyCrushSaga
The program is a children's toy. Bright people, a simple game similar to Tetris. The game is built with different levels difficulties. This toy will certainly be interesting for kids. And everything would be fine, but there is one problem - the toy tops the rating of programs that eat up battery power.
It is unlikely that children themselves will figure out the reasons why a smartphone quickly loses power. In this matter, children need the help and support of adults. If you often cannot reach your child because the smartphone battery has run out of charge, then check if there are any installed applications Candy Crush Saga toys.
An alternative is Cookie Crush Match 3 and other similar toys. And even better for a child - playing in the fresh air, playing music, playing sports, visiting museums and theaters. In this case, the smartphone will hold its charge longer, and the child will be healthier.
PetRescueSaga
One more one computer game, which was created for the development of children. This program has taken one of the top positions in the ranking of smartphone charge hogs. This is one of those games thanks to which adults can go about their business for a while, while the child is carried away by playing with colorful animals on the smartphone. The game is simply a beautiful “developmental game” for kids. Finding a replacement for her will not be difficult.
ClashofClans
The game is intended for ages 13 and above. Historical events and completely fictional plots are intertwined in this wonderful game. Millions of players around the world participate in these virtual battles. At the same time, the application eats up battery power at a tremendous speed, like a tribe of virtual hungry barbarians who feed on electricity. The alternative is to abandon this toy in favor of other, less voracious ones. Fortunately, there is a huge selection for the Android OS. For example, Castle Clash: Brave Squads, Battle of Zombies: Clans War, Boom Beach.
DespicableMe
The application is a game that will surely appeal to children and some adults. Participants in the game are invited to run with minions, jump, dodge and knock them off the track. This fun game in which about 800 million players around the world have already taken part. With all its undoubted advantages, this application is the leader among memory space eaters on the Android OS.
8
BallPool
The computer game 8 Ball Pool is electronic version a game called Pool-8 (or “eight” - from the English “eight-ball”), which is a type of American pool. This game, like traditional billiards, has many fans all over the world. Hundreds of millions have become participants in this game. However, the game is one of the most memory-hungry applications. mobile device. There are many other billiards apps that are an alternative to this game.
Tumblr
Tumblr is a microblogging service. Users can maintain their own blogs and subscribe to blogs of other service participants. The Tumblr website is a social network. The Tumblr application of the same name allows you to interact with the Tumblr online service. The Tumblr application is the most active traffic hog among applications for the Android OS on this moment. The alternatives here are simple - either use it, and then it is preferable to have unlimited Internet, or delete or abandon the Tumblr application, replacing it with other social networks.
Snapchat
The name of the application comes from English word Snap - a snapshot. The application allows you to share photos and videos. The Snapchat app requires a server connection. Being one of the most voracious traffic consumers, the Snapchat app consumes data traffic by exchanging data between the server and the mobile device. Alternatives - Slingshot, WindUp, Bolt (Instagram), MSQRD.
BBCNews
BBC News is a British public news television channel for an international audience. The BBC News app allows you to receive up-to-date information in high-quality English language from highly professional journalists. Unfortunately, this application is one of the most active data traffic eaters. Alternatives - Fox News, Sky News, The Guardian.
Instagram
Instagram is a free photo and video sharing application that is organized like a social network. The application is extremely popular. But for Android OS, the application was detected as one of the most voracious applications in terms of data traffic. An alternative is to use a connection through a browser if you have unlimited Internet.
Using smartphones is no longer possible without a variety of applications and games. Resourceful developers are constantly coming up with new Android applications that make our lives easier and allow us to pass the time.
However, their excessive abundance in the Play Market often forces us to download unnecessary or low-quality products. Therefore, it will be useful to know about the 20 most popular free Play apps Market.
