Top 10 Play Store Apps

In nearly no time, the Google Play Store has grown to 700,000 apps. What are some must have apps if you're on an android; here's my list.

1. Facebook - this is really a no-brainer. Usually pre-installed, the Facebook app for Android devices makes it easy to update and keep in touch with your account, share photos and edit your timeline.

2. Angry Birds - because I feel this game deserves a spot above all other utilities. Who doesn't play Angry Birds today? It would be unfair to limit the Angry Birds market to the casual gamer; even serious gamers will put Angry Birds up with games like Call of Duty, or Grand Theft Auto.

3. Instagram

4. Chrome - if you're using chrome on your pc or mac, then Chrome for Android is a must have. Tip - synchronize your Google Account to get all your bookmarks, history and other browsing data on your device.

5. Quick Profiles - with the limited profile capabilities that the Android OS comes equipped with, a previous Nokia or IOS user will feel unsettled to know they can't really do much with their profiles. This app helps make your own profiles from scratch. Particularly useful if you want to have a separate one for separate times of the day.

6. BBC News - a great user interface, a must have if you read BBC publications daily.

7. Flashlight - there does come a point where we all need this must-have utility.

8. Google Maps - comes preinstalled; but is one of the most widely used apps worldwide. +1 for great user interface and ease of usability.

9. Dropbox - synchronize your files wirelessly through your dropbox app (assuming you have an account). Great to have if you don't like copying stuff via usb (like me).

10. Google Calendar - +1 for the homescreen widget, and it's extremely convenient to have your calendar with you on the go. To be honest, the interface could be better, but seeing as to how Calendar has helped my university schedule work out, I'm not complaining.
