Useful Apps for Android

(All of these are apps I have personally used, with the exception of the automation apps, IRC Radio, Greenify, CloudMagic, Helium, and Wigle.)

  • AK Notepad / Notes
  • AndroIRC / IRC Radio
  • Automation: IFTTT, Tasker, Condi, AutomateIt, Automagic, Trigger
  • Avast Mobile Security (I don’t really need the virus protection, but it saved my skin when I forgot my unlock PIN code once!)
  • Bubble (It’s a bubble level!)
  • CamCard Free (Snap pics of business cards, extract info from them using OCR, and keep them in a digital cardholder. Less to keep track of!)
