Top 10 Android Application for Sure

The chances that you'll actually encounter malware for your Android are pretty slim—but it's a chance not worth taking. avast! Mobile Security & Antivirus comes packed not only with anti malware tools, but anti-theft tools, privacy tools, and more besides. It's also got an unbeatable price tag: free. If you're willing to spend a bit of cash, Bit defender is our Editors' Choice for paid Android security apps. You should also familiarize yourself with Android Device Manager, which is a good backup to the your security apps' anti-theft tools.

Everyone knows they should be using a complex, unique password for each and every website and application, but very few people do. That's because people are bad at passwords. Thankfully, computers are way better at them, so let Last Pass do the heavy lifting for you. Last Pass can generate new passwords and remember your existing ones. A recent update means that the app can even auto fill your passwords into apps, though its Copy Notifications feature is a great way to get your info from the app to the login screen.

Though the app and service are free, using it on a mobile device costs $12 a year, or $1 a month. Trust me, it's well worth the price of admission.

Google Reader was the best thing to happen to the Internet since sliced blogs, but it has passed on to the big Google graveyard in the sky. If reading news and blog posts on your Android is your jam, you need Feedly, an easy, pretty reader. It's a versatile platform, but what I like about it is that you can do all your reading in a single app. If you're looking for something a bit more stylish, try the magazine-style Flipboard.

Statistically speaking, you're probably using a Samsung phone, which is why I use one for my Android testing. Readers, let me tell you: I hate the Samsung keyboard. That's why the Google Keyboard app is the first thing I install on any fresh phone. This free app brings Swype-like gesture typing to the masses, and is cleaner and easier to use than Samsung's monstrosity.

If you're looking for even more typing features, check out the original Swype and Swiftkey, both Editors' Choices for Android keyboards.

Google Drive is a great cloud storage service, but it does double duty as an excellent mobile office suite. With Drive, you can access your important files from anywhere; create new spreadsheet, text, and presentation documents; and collaborate with other people, all from your Android. Throw Quickoffice into the mix, and you'll be able to create and edit MS Office documents on the go.

Chrome is a great browser and is being bundled with more and more Android devices, but I encourage everyone to take a look at Firefox. The venerable browser's mobile offering is as fast and robust as ever, and it gives you special tools to safeguard your privacy while browsing online.

Ever note is your digital multi tool. It’s a great list keeper, note taker, voice recorder, to-do manager, and web clipper. It's so open and powerful that it's overwhelming at first, but you'll quickly find smart ways to use it. My favorite feature? Optical Character Recognition, which makes text in photos searchable.

While you can use Ever note for just about everything, you might start to feel that a standalone app will serve you better. Take a look at Any.do for to-do lists and Pocket for web-clipping.

You all know Netflix: it's the premiere movie and TV streaming service that has helped redefine what entertainment means in the 21st Century. You've probably got it hooked into your TV already, but you might have overlooked it when downloading your first round of apps. Though it struggles on most cellular connections (and will probably suck your data dry), Netflix is great over WI-Fi. It's the perfect companion for long trips and lonely hotel rooms.

If video isn't your thing, check out the Kindle app for books, Comics for digital comics, and Umano for news articles read by professional voice actors.

There are many, many ways to get music onto your phone, but we like Slacker Radio best. This service has a huge library of songs, but it also stands out for its excellent curated playlists and wide variety of streaming content. There's a little bit of something for everyone in here, but check out Spottily if you must have on-demand Led Zeppelin.

But seriously, who would ever want that?

Your Android probably has a camera attached to it. Take those pictures from good to great on the go with Snap seed. This handy photo editor has tons of features and fine-grain controls so your pictures come out perfect. If you're in a hurry, the app also has powerful auto correct features to boot.

Looking for something to do with your nicely edited images? Share them on Instagram, or try to fill up your free terabyte of space by uploading all of them to Flickr.
