Google Chrome Browser

Among all the popular ones, with an overview of which you can find on our website, I highlight for myself Google chrome, because it is used most often. What do I like about him so much?

Firstly, it is a very convenient synchronization of the entire history of web surfing. You just need to enter your data google account  and you can view the same bookmarks that are stored on your PC or iOS device. Very convenient for those who have a lot of gadgets, so even on different operating systems.

Cool Reader has support for popular dictionaries such as ColorDict, GoldenDict, Fora Dictionary, Aard Dictionary. Here you can also purchase e-books in the LitRes online store, bookmarking, table of contents and text search functions are available.

Office suite Kingsoft Office

At first, I wanted to write about Quickoffice, but after becoming acquainted with Kingsoft Office, I realized that Google’s office suite is no match for Kingsoft Office in terms of functionality. The latter supports 23 formats, including .doc, .docx, .txt, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx and .pdf.

With Kingsoft Office, you can easily create and edit documents, spreadsheets and presentations on your phone or tablet. Here you can work with microsoft files  Office Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

There is a close integration with mail programs, support for cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, Box.net, etc.) thanks to the WebDAV protocol and the ability to perform many actions with gestures.

Clean Master application

Read full review  : how to free up RAM and clear the cache on Android.

One of the few and really best application  of a kind. Thanks to him, you can speed up your Android device, clearing the phone or tablet of debris, clogged cache and RAM.

The application consists of four main sections: "Garbage", "Acceleration of memory", "Protection and personal data", "Application Manager".

In the first Clean Master will scan the system for availability unnecessary files. In the mode "Acceleration of memory" the application can release rAMby closing running applications.

The section “Protection and Personal Data” stores your passwords, browser history and other information. And the latter performs the functions of removing applications and games. Here you can make a backup, that is, create backups  data.

Viber: calls and SMS via the Internet

Great application, available not only on iOS and Android, but also on Mac and Windows. Viber combines the functionality of Skype and WhatsApp: there is both a dialer and an instant messenger.

You do not need to create account  and invent a password - you just need to install the program on your smartphone, and it activates itself and connect to your number.

With Viber, you can create and send pictures, share photos and videos directly from the gallery of your smartphone or tablet, create correspondence with up to 100 participants, and Push notifications will not let you miss a call or message, even when you are not online.

Each owner of the Android-tablet in the majority uses it for the same purposes. This is watching movies, reading news, surfing the Internet and so on. So I decided to collect all the so-called "Masthev" applications needed by everyone in one post. For beginners, I think it will be useful to get acquainted with the above list, so as not to look for the necessary applications and choose the best by trial and error. I must say that it will not be about games, but about them some other time :)

I will try to look at things as objectively as possible and choose the application not only because I like it, but because most users like it. And who does not like the proposed program, pay attention to alternative option. After describing the main application, I indicate its competitor, perhaps you will like it :)

I can not imagine a tablet without the "Office". Whether you need to write off on the exam, or show important documents to a colleague, the program will help. She can show and edit files.

text formats: DOC, DOCX, RTF, TXT
  Table formats: XLS, XLSX, CSV
  presentation formats: PPT, PPTX, PPS, PPSX
  Also: PDF, EML

In addition, OfficeSuitePro 6 + is able to open zip-archives thanks to the built-in file manager, allows you to transfer the desired document directly from the application via Wi-Fi Direct, mail or print. Able to work with cloud services  GoogleDrive and DropBox. An excellent bonus is the built-in converter to pdf. And it's cool that the application interface is in Russian.

The program allows you to save and play on other devices, your text, graphics and voice notes, and to-do / task lists. It might look something like this: you started writing an article on the road, and then came home, sat down at a computer, an Evernote account synchronized, and you can open and continue writing the article that you started writing on your tablet when you went home.

Thus, Evernote will not let you forget anything. The client of the program is on iOS, Windows, MacOS and many others. There is also an online version.

Personally, I never found the use of Evernote for myself. But many owners of Android devices really liked it. That's why I included it in the article.

I think that I will not be mistaken if I suppose that this situation happens to everyone: you found an interesting web page or video on the Internet, and there is no time to read / see the material, since you have to go somewhere. And the maximum that you could do in this case is to re-enter the page of interest on your tablet on the road, spending not so little money for mobile Internet.

Now everything has become much easier. You just mark that you want to view this article or video in the browser, and they are downloaded to your tablet. Then somewhere far from the Internet you can enjoy the necessary materials through Pocket. Moreover, without any advertising or unnecessary elements of the site like the navigation menu. You can even without illustrations, it's all customizable.

Well, where without a file manager. FileManager HD is specially designed for tablets and supports all the necessary functions for such software: copy / paste, packing / unpacking archives, searching and transferring files, working with DropBox and GoogleDrive services, there is support for Root-rights. He can also play streaming video from the network, has a built-in text editor, swf player, gallery.

In my opinion, the best alternative desktop for Android. And many will agree with me. It comes by default in some custom firmware, and I liked it so much that now I always install it, on any firmware.

Maybe a lot, just do not count. If you are tired of the standard “naked” Android 4.X (and on Android 2.X and 3.X it does not work), just try Apex Launcher or its alternative, they are very similar.

Afigenny video player with hardware decoding. Able to play all the most popular video formats, including subtitles. Adapted for multi-core devices. Convenient control of brightness, volume, rewind and zoom gestures during video playback. Average MX Player score on GooglePlay store: 4.7 out of 5.
