This has been my first experience with a Droid phone, and I was a little nervous about what apps I would find on the Android Market, since I had been exclusively using an iPhone. However, I have been pleasantly surprised to find out that ALL of the same apps I had on my iPhone are available for the droid! Another feature I loved was that they download almost instantly and don’t take much time at all to download!
The main app that is the most important for me is my Amazon MP3 App, since I’ve been purchasing music from Amazon for years! I have all my playlists ready to go, and I was concerned that I wouldn’t be able to access them. However, Android is completely compatible with all Amazon apps!
I even found this awesome article with the Top 100 Android Apps of 2013 that I’ve been sorting through as well! Google Play alone has over 800,000 apps! Yikes! That’s more than I’ll need in a lifetime!! However, the ones I feel are the most important that I’ve downloaded so far (Besides all the common Social Media like Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Etc.) are the following:
1. Avast Mobile Protection – Mobile security. I also use avast on my home PC and laptop.
2. Juice Defender – For battery life extension.
3. Dropbox– I use this for work all the time, and it makes all my files more mobile.
4. Soundhound- Because I’m always out in stores or in my car hearing a song, and can never remember the band/title!
5. Foursquare- Because I love to save!
6. Shopkick- My FAVORITE all time saving app! I’ve earned many Target Gift Cards with this one!
7. Target Cartwheel- You can stack Target Offers with Target Coupons AND Manufacturer’s coupons!!
8. MapMyRun- My all-time favorite running app. It tracks my distance, calories, etc. right from my GPS location!
9. BabyCenter– Because if you didn’t hear yet, I’m expecting! This is the BEST baby app ever!
10. Amazon Mp3– This is what I use for music when I jog/walk!!
There you have it! My top 10 favorites! I can’t express how much I love this new phone, and I know it will carry me into the next several years, which gives me peace o
