My Favorite Android Apps

When I first got my Android Smartphone, a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, the first thing I did was do some research. I googled "best free Android Apps" and started downloading them into my phone, and checking them out.  Some started out to be promising and interesting, then further updates annoyed me by getting pretty demanding, and asking for tons of information that, to me, had nothing to do with what their app was offering -- I immediately uninstalled those. Some just didn't work. Some were not really very useful.  But some were exactly what I was looking for, what I needed, and wanted - some seriously cool apps!

A year after, here is a list of some of my favorite apps, in no particular order. Basically, they should provide a pleasant, clean and predictable interface, should be intuitive to use, should be correct and comprehensive in what they do, should not be taking up all my memory all the time, and should not stress me by demanding for uncalled-for permissions.  In my next blog I will describe each, what they are useful for and what I like about them.
