Best Android Apps

FurbtasticM · 16-01-11, 04:53 PM

After some help from eXceem members, young Furbs decided to go for the HTC Desire HD. I've only had a quick play on it but am impressed, definitely a good choice.

I'd be interested to hear your recommendations for the best Android apps to get hold of?

Cheers,

Furbs

How about angry birds? I'm sure he will probably like it, everybody seems to

A lot of the popular apps on iphone are on Android so look for the popular 1s on the iphone app store and see if is available for android. Although there aren't as many apps in the android store there is still a pretty big selection to choose from!

Top 50 downloaded Android Apps Chart - i used to look at that when i wanted to get a new app to download

dont forget whatsapp though - free SMS/MMS between blackberrys androids and iphones

Stupid question, but how do you get the apps onto the HTC? I'm assuming there isn't an equivalent to the App store?

HTC if running android should have "Market"

Or do you mean downloading apps on your pc and transferring to the phone via a data cable?

Found "Market", that should do it, thanks.

Are you going to upgrade it with custom firmware and root it?

If so there are plenty of guides on modaco for it

FurbtasticM · 16-01-11, 09:40 PM

It's not my phone, just helping young Furbs out. Will let her get used to it before I mention any custom stuff.

**xploit** · 16-01-11, 09:55 PM

when i did mine i lost some data as i hadnt backed things up - just thought it maybe easier to update now rather than later so if there is any data loss it will have minimal impact

Definitely replace the default browser... I have the Dolphin browser which is much better!

I wish Apple would be a bit more open about the numbers and types of apps they offer! So many brilliant apps for free on Android!
