10 Most Popular Free Android Apps 2010
How often have you struggled across the net in search of free good android apps? And if you have found some, you have generally not found them o you interesting. So here we bring to you the ten most popular free android apps to ease your problem.
1. Listen 1.1.3
Every smartphone needs a good podcast client, and Google Listen fits the bill on Android. Listen lets you subscribe to individual podcasts or find podcasts using terms you like. Downloading and storing podcasts will let you play them even when you aren’t connected to a network. Fixing the rewind and forward options so they behave less erratically would be a welcome improvement, but overall Listen is a great way to get radio-style content onto your Android phone.
2. Meebo IM 22
Meebo still holds the spot on our list for an Android-based multi-platform IM program. Along with the usual AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, Google, and ICQ instant messaging networks, Meebo also supports Facebook and MySpace IM, which is pretty cool. Social networking contacts come with photos and status messages, and you can keep multiple conversations going at once.
3. Photoshop.com Mobile 1.2.0
Still the best free photo editing app out there, Adobe’s Photoshop.com Mobile gives you an arsenal of tools to use on your Android phone. You can crop, rotate, color-correct, or change images to black-and-white with a beautifully intuitive interface. The app integrates with free Photoshop.com online accounts, but unfortunately, not other popular services such as Flickr.
4. Pandora Radio 1.3
Internet radio gives you an endless amount of music for your Android phone, albeit at the cost of battery life. Picking between Slacker and Pandora really just comes down to personal preference; this round, we picked Pandora. Pandora lets you tap into custom radio stations that you create based on songs or artists. Pandora will play best over Wi-Fi, but it also works over 3G.
5. Movies by Flixster 2.9.4
There are a lot of good movie apps out there, such as Fandango and Moviefone, but Movies by Flixster gets our nod here because of its complete experience. Movies will inform you of the latest top flicks and movies coming out, as well as theaters near whatever location you enter. It provides trailers, reviews, information, and Rotten Tomatoes results for all the current movies. And yes, you can even buy tickets to select participating theaters as well.
6. Jewels 1.60
Jewels is a highly-polished, free Bejeweled clone. The game is highly addictive and serves as a great way to pass the time on your commute. Different modes let you play this as a strategy game or an action game, and if you’re competitive, you can share your scores with others.
7. Google Sky Map 1.5.2
Google Sky Map helps you put names to all the stars, planets, and constellations. The app syncs with your GPS in order to provide you with a map of the sky wherever you are. The only tricky thing can be getting your phone and the sky aligned exactly right. However, with a little patience, Sky Map will locate and name some of the brightest celestial objects you point to in the sky.
8. Mint 1.4
Mint.com’s impressive app allows Android users to easily manage their finances on the go. You can see real-time account balances, compare your spending budget against your monthly budget, keep track of recent transactions, and edit transaction details. Exclusive to Android, home screen widgets display overall cash flow and financial updates.
9. PageOnce Personal Assistant 1.4
PageOnce Personal Assistant lets you monitor your financial accounts, but that’s just the start. PageOnce also tracks anything flight related (frequent flyer miles, itineraries, flight times), cell phone minutes, bills due, your Netflix queue, eBay bids, and a wide variety of social network feeds. PageOnce says they use top-notch encryption and are fully insured, so you don’t have to worry about the security of your data. A $6.99 “premium” version lets you ditch ads.
10. TV.com 1.3
You can’t hit Hulu on Android yet, but TV.com is a good alternative. This streaming video app lets you select programming from CBS, The CW, CNET, ET, Showtime, CBS News, Gamespot, CBS Sports, and more. We’d recommend streaming over Wi-Fi rather than 3G, as we didn’t get reliable video quality on a 3G link. Not all channels allow you to watch full episodes, but the ones that do offer the ability to browse and skip chapters.
