Official Social Network Apps
Let’s not get into the Facebook vs. Twitter war, and instead just get the best of both worlds. In fact, you can get the best of all social networking worlds. Our most pertinent advice would be to download the official version of each social networking app to start off with. There are great third-party apps for everything, but it’s best to start with the official experience. Google+ will be pre-installed with Android.
Pro Tip: If you’re running low on storage, it would be wise to install Facebook Lite to save storage space on your phone.

Official Cloud Storage Apps
Again, let’s not worry about which is the best cloud storage app and just grab the ones you use. They are all free for download anyway. Google Drive comes pre-installed with Android.
It’s always useful to have at least one cloud drive with a lot of storage space on it, in case you want to backup music or photos. This keeps your phone’s memory free, while still giving you access to all your data. You can get 100GB of OneDrive space for free with a few clicks.

Microsoft Office
Just because you’re on a mobile screen does not mean you won’t get the full power of Microsoft’s productivity suite. Microsoft Office is a free download on Android and totally worth it.
There are other great office suites on Android, but Microsoft Office’s compatibility with the file formats you use so often makes it a winner, especially in how well it displays the content of files.

It is more difficult to multi-task on a mobile screen because of the limited real estate. So when you come across an article or video you want to check out, what do you do? Add it to Pocket, the best bookmarking app out there, and check it out later.
This way, you get an uninterrupted browsing experience, without missing out on anything. Plus, Pocket also downloads and caches articles when you are connected to WiFi, so you save yourself some data and don’t have to wait when you want to read.

TrueCaller or Facebook Hello
On a mobile phone, you often get calls from unknown numbers. Yup, it’s annoying, and it can be a security risk when getting calls from malicious numbers. But you can actually find out who is calling, or at least get an idea, and automatically block harmful callers.
The two best options are TrueCaller and Facebook Hello. TrueCaller is a crowd-sourced phone book, which will almost always show you who is calling, but the data might not be completely accurate. Facebook Hello gives you perfect data, but won’t always show you who is calling. We recommend downloading Hello if you are an avid Facebook user, but getting TrueCaller if you aren’t.

Contacts+
Your contacts list is one of the most important parts of your phone, so don’t compromise on that. Contacts+ is the absolute best app for contacts, whether it’s managing them, placing calls, sending text messages, or using widgets to quick-reply and speed dial.

AirDroid
Your smartphone and your computer will often need to play nice with each other, whether it’s transferring data, managing contacts, or even quickly replying to a text message while you’re on your laptop.
AirDroid creates a seamless wireless connection between phones and PCs, over a WiFi network or through Internet data, with which you can do all of the above actions. And if your phone is rooted, you will also be able to cast your phone’s screen to your PC.
