Duolingo. The best thing about this app is that its free and there are no hidden charges and no ads. Plus, you can invite
your friend to use Duolingo and compete with them in interesting language challenges. Duolingo allows you to translate any
real-world phrase into the language youre trying to learn. An independent study (static.duolingo.com) that was funded by the
app makers showed that 34 hours on Duolingo is about equivalent to 11 weeks or one semester of a college language
course. So what are you waiting for?
6. Quora
The Quora app can become your best source for knowledge once you try using it. You can ask questions, get answers from
people who have years of experience. You can also blog about things you know. Quora is one of the best places to get an

physics by creating complex structures (bridges, tree houses, ferris wheels etc.) and working through different engineering
quandaries. If you want to win, make sure your design is strong and cheap. To test the build strength of your creation, you

You already pay enough each month for your Android phone's monthly data plan, so why pay even more for
apps?
The good news is that many of the best options available through the Google Play store are free.
The true challenge is sorting the must-downloads from the apps that will just waste storage space. From
news readers, utilities, games, to photo editors, media players and social networking tools, here are 40 of
our favorite free Android apps.
1. Mailbox
Here's another way to manage your get-bigger-genitals and sex-herb spam emails. Mailbox is compatible
with both Gmail and iCloud email accounts, pulling in your messages to a fantastically stylish interface from
which you can manage emails in more of an SMS-like chat system. Swiping away, snoozing senders,
reminders and more populate a packed feature list that put this among 2014's most impressive apps
released thus far.
2. Twitter
Another must-have for those who want to keep up to date with what's going on in the world in 140
characters or fewer. Now that Twitter has put the shackles on most of its alternatives, the official app is one
of the best to use, with functionality so simple anyone can use it - and seeing some of the hashtags that
trend, it looks like anyone does.
3. BBC Weather
Free from the BBC, which arrived late to the weather app party in 2013 and delivered a completely stonking, triple-A
meteorological experience. A variety of stylish widgets, long-range forecasts, location-aware settings and support for multiple
locations make finding out how much it's raining everywhere a joy.
4. HTC Zoe
HTC's camera application has plenty of interesting tricks inside it, and using it on phones with better
cameras than the ones HTC's been putting in its own mobiles recently is an excellent idea.
The selling point of Zoe is that it creates short animated clips, which are shareable with friends who then
make edits too.
The results can then be shared to the big social networks like Instagram or Facebook, or kept within Zoe's
own walled garden.
5. Glympse
Relative newcomer Glympse simplifies the endless check-in-check-out location-based app concept no end by
coming with one key trick the ability to share your location with anyone.

Using GPS to accurately pinpoint the coffee shop from which you're stealing the Wi-Fi, the results are sent to
friends in a format that displays in the web browser of the recipient so they don't need the app to know
where you are.
You can even share live data, so people can watch you flitting about town from hotspot to hotspot.
6. Google Now Launcher
Exclusive to Nexus devices since launch, the Google Now Launcher has recently been opened up to owners of any Android
phone running version 4.1 of the OS or higher. Install it and you get the weird experience that is having Google Now fill an
entire Home screen, dumping a permanent collection of you cards to the left of the existing Home screen setup. Useful if you
use Google Now. Not so much if you don't.
7. Vine
The movie-making sensation took a little while to appear on Android, then took a while for the numerous
bugs to disappear but now it's all good. It's a simple recording/stop-motion/animation tool, letting you
shoot live video on your phone and share it via social networks. The app is also the best way of browsing
Vines from others, as the categories and pages mean you can leaf through it like telly, favouriting users.
8. Dropbox
Pretty much essential for anyone juggling a work PC, home PC, laptop, tablet, phone and internet fridge,
Dropbox's key power lies in letting you access any files anywhere. It can also automatically upload photos
taken on your phone to your account, meaning that, after a bit of uploading and downloading, all your shots
are *right there* on your desktop without any tedious cable connecting.
9. Speedtest
Get angry about how slow your internet is. Get smug about how fast your internet is. Spy on the network
speeds of your friends and neighbours. If one of your frequent conversations with your mates is how fast
your internet currently is, then Speedtest is for you. You can do unlimited broadband up/down speed tests
on any boring weekday evening.
10. Handcent SMS
If you wish to rage against Google's Hangouts enforcement push and Facebook Messenger, get Handcent SMS. It's one of
the most popular alternative SMS apps, with the recent 6.0 update arriving with an all-new, on-message, late-2014-season,
flat graphic design update. It's always been an ugly but reliable workhorse for hardcore texters, now it's a really pretty
workhorse for those who get anywhere near hitting their 5,000-a-month SMS usage limits.
11. Feedly
If you felt a bit lost and disconnected from the News Borg when Google shut down its Reader RSS
aggregator, Feedly will help. It's a more glamorous and swishy-slidy way of getting data from RSS feeds,
with numerous ways of displaying site snippets and navigating through your unread pile of possibly
interesting things.
12. BBC iPlayer
Took some time for the BBC to gradually get BBC iPlayer to full parity with the iOS release, but it's just
about there now for the vast majority of popular Android models. A piecemeal approach to introducing
offline download support has annoyed some users, but it remains a superb way of using your phone as a
modern portable telly for the bedroom, as long as your broadband's up to the task.

13. WhoSampled
If you need to know who did the original of the twee music from that supermarket advert, then get
WhoSampled.
It's the app version of the music database website that tells you who's stolen bass lines from whom over the
years, and gives music lovers an instant mass of trivia.
It'll even offer to scan your existing music collection to pinpoint exactly where that addictive loop you can't
get enough of first appeared. And you erroneously thought Gary Barlow came up with himself. (Spoiler: it
was probably the Bee Gees again).
14. eBay
The app itself isn't what you'd call attractive, but eBay lets you browse, watch items and buy stuff,
integrating a Paypal sign-in for quick getting of things. Better still, now Android phones all have immense
cameras on them, it's a doddle to sell items straight through the app - take a photo, upload it, have most of
the listing data pre-filled for you. The app is better as a selling tool than the desktop site, in fact.
15. WhatsApp
The instant messaging behemoth is an essential Android install, especially if you can convince the people
you message most frequently to use it too. The concept is simple - it takes over text messaging on your
mobile, routing messages through any Wi-Fi connection instead. Which means no more SMS allowances, no
size restrictions, plus images are sent at a decent resolution.
16. Nokia HERE
One of Nokia's long-standing key apps is now on Android, just about, with the Windows Phone maker doing
a deal to place its HERE mapping tool exclusively within the Samsung App Store.
Users of larger Samsung mobiles running Android 4.1 or higher can download it, then enjoy a featurepacked tool with full offline map support that's a damn fine rival or replacement for Google's omnipresent
Maps.
17. Amazon Appstore
It's a bit of a fuss to get Amazon Appstore on your phone as Google's not too keen on rival app stores
popping up on Google Play, but it's worth doing. Mainly for the freeloading aspect, as Amazon sticks up a
paid-for app for free every day. Most are a bit rubbish, but some properly decent paid apps do occasionally
pop up. Add it to your daily trawl, just in case.
18. Google Keep
Google's so proud of its Google Keep, its cross-platform note-taking tool that it's recently started pre-loading
it as part of the core Android feature set. It comes with a stylish widget, integrates voice dictation for those
Alan Partridge moments of creative inspiration, plus if you use Keep on a Chromebook it seamlessly syncs
with mobile notes saved there. A great way of coordinating mobile and laptop lives.
19. Spotify
No, wait. it is free. Sort of. Spotify now comes with a stipped-down playlist-cum-radio combo for users who
don't pay for the service but still want to use it on mobile, accompanied by a swish new tablet interface that
has much more in common with the free desktop browser player. So yes, it's free. hobbled a bit, but free.

20. Unclouded
Unclouded is a simple and very stylish way of integrating Google and Dropbox cloud services, resulting in
one single app that lets you see what stuff you've got backed up to each service. It makes it easy to pull out
file duplicates and see breakdowns of the percentages used up by each folder. It's not groundbreaking, but it
is a nicely designed thing and a pleasure to use.
21. Airbnb
A posh B&B listings service designed specifically around mobile app use, the selling point of Airbnb is that it
personalises the hosts, so if you really want to stay in Glasgow with a cheery looking alternative lifestyle
man called Dave snoring in the next room, it's ideal.
22. DashClock Widget
DashClock Widget is a stonking addition to any Android phone running version 4.2 of Google's code or
higher, as it adds new active plugins to the lock screen. This means your lock screen can have a torch
button, the weather, unread text messages and more, plus there's a development community out there
building new extra features all the time.
23. Instagram
One of those services you might as well start using because everyone's using it. The Instagram Android app
took a while to appear, but is now live, looking good and offers a simple way of taking and editing your
square photographs of lunch, sunsets, cats etc. Plus it now has fashionable effect tilt shift for making things
look small. Not that that's ever something we've wanted. Quite the opposite, usually.
24. Kindle
Amazon's Kindle app connects seamlessly with its online book shop services, letting account holders send
books to the app, sync existing libraries via the cloud, and access books across the many Android phones
and tablets people have kicking about the place these days. Of course there's also a shop in it, as flogging
you books is the reason Amazon is offering this comprehensive cloud reader for free.
25. Tinder
Tinder is a how do we put this? It's a dating app, to put it nicely, one that uses your Facebook account (or
a hurriedly created secondary one) and location details to generate a list of other users of the app that are
also bored, probably drunk, and nearby. You then get a list of others to swipe through, starring any you like
the look of. It's not a deep process. Should any of them star you back, you're able to start chatting and
maybe more. So they say, anyway. I've never used it.
26. Endomodo PRO
The popular sports tracker covers every sport you can think of apart from curling, managing to track your
runs, rides, kayaking journeys, hill walks and other excursions with ease. The paid Endomodo PRO unlocks
more stats and a handy terrain chart, letting you see how steep the hard parts were and providing a
useful excuse for poor performance.
27. SwiftKey Keyboard
This one pioneered the concept of the alternative keyboard, with SwiftKey the first to offer to 'learn' your
writing style and attempt to predict your next word. The hope being that, with practice, it'll know what
phrases you commonly use and might save you quite a bit of fuss in typing a simple message to a friend.
28. Google Camera

Google's Nexus line of phones have traditionally been dogged by the unfathomably awful stock camera apps
that ship with Android, but that's now changed - a bit - with this. Google Camera is a standalone camera
app that's available for users of all Android models, offering a simple interface, background blur effects and
not very much more. It actually has fewer features than the older official Android app, but it's tidy and fast,
so the hope is it'll quickly evolve into the premiere mobile photo tool.
29. Swype Keyboard
As rival SwiftKey invented the concept of word prediction, so Swype did the same for gesture input. The
concept is simple - you write "hello" by pressing the H, then swiping a line through E, L and O. Hopefully, if
you were accurate enough, the software guesses this right and you've just written a word easy-style. A
similar system has been adopted within newer versions of Android, but if you have an older phone this gets
you into the line-writing fun, too.
30. Plex
The idea behind Plex is that it assimilates your existing media collection and serves it up, through one
standard interface, via the cloud. It's a bit of a struggle to get going as you need a free account on Plex's
servers to access your stuff, but once it's all up and running it offers streaming and transcoding of files,
meaning everything ought to play everywhere. Supports Chromecast too, if you've bought into Google's own
media-managing dream.
31. Horizon
A one-trick special, sure but what a trick. Horizon normalises the rotation of your phone's camera output,
using the built-in accelerometer of Android phones to keep the horizons in your videos stable no matter how
much the phone moves.
This means you can hold it sideways, or at an angle, or while not really paying attention at all, and get
usable, stable results in return.
It crops the original resolution a little, mind, so there's some loss in clarity but it's a hit often worth taking
for smoother clips.
32. Apex Launcher Pro
The thing a lot of enthusiasts love about Android is the ability to switch to a new launcher. In layman's
terms, this means you can whack an entire new frontend on your phone, replacing the user interface with an
entirely custom skin. Apex Launcher's one of the oldest and most highly thought of, using the default
Android look as a base for numerous tweaks and additions. It's free to try, with the separate Apex Launcher
Pro key unlocking the full version.
33. Chromecast
Chromecast, Google's companion for its physical dongle, is essential if you're a user of its HDMI media
streamer, letting connected life living futurists beam their phone contents to their TV using nothing but the
air we breathe as a cable. This app also solves the problem of how you manage Chromecast's options, as
the little HDMI dongle obviously has no screen or buttons of its own. The wireless dream is even compatible
with older devices stuck on version 2.3 of Google's OS, resurrecting any ancient low-spec tablets you may
have stuck in the loft back in 2012.
34. Runtastic PRO

A hefty price, but what cost you not dying of obesity at age 52? That fitness promise is what you pay for
here, with the RunTastic Pro. It is able to map you, track you, automatically cheer you on, generate live
feedback and more, also covering interval training and letting users create their own regular routes to attack
again and again. Serious stuff for competitive people.
35. Tasker
Tasker is one of the first, and best, task managers for Android. It does it all. Turns stuff on or off depending
on location, manages multiple schedules for changing phone state depending on the time of day, even
letting users have their phone automatically reply to text messages if it's set to a quiet state. It's complex,
vast, and you'll wonder how you lived without it.
36. Ask Me Anything
Subtitled Reddit AMA just in case you don't get the reference, this is a simple front end that allows easy
access to the discussion site's insanely popular AMA Q&A sessions, where people (including celebrities of the
very highest order), set aside a bit of time to stop taking selfies to answer questions from members of the
public.
The results of which are usually fantastic, as the truly fanatical fans know all the right questions to ask.
37. Pocket
Hands down the best offline reader app on the market, Pocket (formerly Read It Later) offers up a simple
and effective way to read long form articles without the need of a web connection. A recent update has
made the app feel more like a website, complete with carousel, which makes finding older articles a little
easier. Couple this with a regular newsletter updating you on decent reads to Pocket and it's simply a
brilliant app.
38. TuneIn Radio Pro
Forget the physical side of radios, the best way to listen to random tunes and the occasional bit of travel
news is online. TuneIn Radio is the most comprehensive internet radio player by far, offering masses of
stations, favourite lists, and, in this paid upgrade, the ability to record direct off the radio.
39. Pocket Casts
The podcast is another option when it comes to being entertained through your ears, with the stylish Pocket
Casts one of the newest listening apps to hit Android. It comes with simple cloud syncing of your favourite
subscriptions, variable speed playback for skipping the boring bits, themes auto downloads and everything.
40. SoundHound
SoundHound is best described as a companion app for music, letting users ID tracks by recording a clip and
also attempting to guess the names of songs you sing and hum to it. It can also stream in lyrics, sell you
stuff and bring in news feeds covering artists you like, making it a really swish hub for people who are 'into'
music.
