Greenify App Hibernator

Greenify is a fantastic utility that lets you take complete control over your Android by telling it which apps to put to sleep. Greenify includes a fantastic auto-hibernation mode that will extend your battery life by a great deal. Just try it if you don’t believe me.

If you have root access, Greenify can do even more, but even without root privileges, Greenify is a must-have for any Android device. If you have apps on your phone that you know suck your battery power, Greenify lets you put a short leash on them. Why wait? Take control of your phone right now.

AirDroid

AirDroid is best described as “the app” that finally pushed me into the arms of the Android platform. While my phone is charging in the other room, I have in-browser access to everything on my phone. SMS, access to incoming/outgoing calls, all of my files and of course, my apps. When my phone isn’t charging, I could also use AirDroid for remote camera access and convergent clipboard. The ability to access my phone’s clipboard has saved me a ton of time.

Photos

Google Photos was unveiled at Google I/O 2015 and made headlines for being a free app which offers unlimited photo and video storage (though there are some restrictions on file types).

Photos combines automatic backup, sharing and editing functions, as well as just about the best photo organization tool you can find, to create a powerful photo app which is hard to beat. Seriously, every gallery app should have “click and drag” style selection, shouldn’t it?

Dreamstime: Sell Your Photos

Dreamstime is not only free, but it actively helps you make money too. Ever thought those photos taken with your fancy smartphone camera could be worth some money? Well, with Dreamstime they can because this app lets you upload your photos to a Dreamstime’s stock photography archive, where millions of people will be able to buy them.

It’s a fantastic idea, and using the app you can track sales of your photos, and receive tips on how to present them to maximize sales.

Everypost

If you have anywhere near as many social channels going as me, then you know how important it is to streamline your social posting schedule. Everypost lets you register multiple accounts with practically every social network around, to which you can post individually, as a group or even schedule for the future. Once you’ve gone through the setup procedure, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without Everypost.

Audible for Android

If you haven’t got time to read a book, that doesn’t mean you can’t listen to it! With Audible for Android installed on your phone, you can listen to books on the go from about 150K titles, of all different genres. Perfect for the commute, going for a run or a long road trip.

The app is really well made, with a bunch of features like bookmarking, sleep mode, variable narration speed, multitasking features, etc. It’s quite complex!

SwiftKey

If you haven’t heard of SwiftKey then you must have been living under a rock for the last couple of years. Or been using an iPhone. Either way, SwiftKey is the class leader for swipe-typing apps, and it doesn’t get any better than this.
