Top 3 Must Have Android Apps For Your Android Device

There are numerous apps in android market and hence it makes one a bit confused about which one to have. It is practically possible to download and test each and every app. So therefore we guys are here to help you out, this time we’re back with 3 coolest android apps that are must have for your android smartphone.

Norton Mobile Security

Price: $29.95

Almost all of the major security software vendors have jumped onto the smartphone bandwagon, including industry heavyweight Symantec. Just like its desktop security suite, the Norton Mobile Security app for Android is one of the most comprehensive available, covering not only the expected virus scanning and blocking of fraudulent/ malicious websites, but also anti-theft features, and the ability to block calls and text messages from particular numbers.

The anti-theft security features are similar to the ones found in Find My iPhone, but they’re slightly more sophisticated – in theory. As well as providing an online portal where you can remotely lock your phone, locate it on a map, and send a custom message, you can remotely trigger your phone’s front-facing camera (assuming it has one) to take a photo of the thief. You can also trigger the anti-theft features by sending a specifically-worded SMS to your phone, and the remote tracking command returns a link to the Google Maps location of your device as well as a text telling you approximately how far away your phone is from your current location. But Symantec doesn’t seem to have factored in the possibility of having a task manager built into Android’s multi-tasking window, as the Samsung Galaxy S II does.

When the phone is remotely locked, there’s a half-second window in which you can launch the task manager before the remote lock screen appears again, and that’s all we needed to hit the “Exit all” option in the task manager, effectively killing Norton Mobile Security. Like Find my iPhone, Norton Mobile Security is also deactivated when you remove the SIM card, and while it includes a device lock that requires you to enter a password whenever the SIM card is changed, this is once again easily circumvented using the task manager.

YELP

Price: Free

The popular community rating service for local businesses – big in theUnited States and Europe – has finally launched inAustralia, providing yet another outlet for users to comment on everything from restaurants and bars to accountants and dry cleaners. It incorporates elements of Layar and Foursquare as well, letting you “see” ratings of businesses using an augmented reality view through the camera, check into particular locations, earn badges and take advantage of special deals and offers in the area.

Obviously it’ll take a while for the reviews to start building up, but within a few days of the service’s launch there were a thousand businesses reviewed in the eastern suburbs ofSydney(it threw up an error once we tried to scroll past that number). You can browse through listings by category or search for particular things like frozen yogurt, electricians and hairdressers, although not all of the remits will have ratings und user reviews.

Exfoliate

Price: $2.99

Ever wish you could just wipe out a big chunk of your Faceoook history in one clean sweep so you could get rid of any content you added before you were smart enough to know better? Facebook doesn’t give you that option (and probably never will), but if you have on Android smartphone or tablet, you can clean up your social networking past using the simple Exfoliate app. This permanently removes any pests, comments, likes or photos that you’ve added to your or your friends’ walls that are older than a date you specify. Depending on how much you have to delete, the process can take hours, or even days, but you can start and stop the app so that it’s only running when convenient (such as when you’re asleep and/or connected to a Wi-Fi network).
