Top 5 New Essential Applications of Android

In the below post, we will be discussing about some of most interesting Android applications which were released recently or have seen a major upgrade recently.

TouchDown HD

For anyone dealing with business email on an Android tablet, the bundled email app for use with IMAP and Exchange accounts isn't very good. There's no synchronizing of tasks or notes, and no search facility, which can be a real pain if you're out and about and need to dig out an old memo* TouchDown HD fixes all these problems, adding a few useful extras, including encryption and a brilliantly effective remote-wipe facility. This lets you send an email with a kill code to your email address, which will wipe data from a lost or stolen tablet.

Due Today

Everyone needs to make to-do lists at one time or another, but Android offers no such facility as standard. That's a pretty big omission, but Due Today fills the gap with admirable aplomb. Naturally, you can create simple lists of tasks, give them priorities and due dates as normal, but that's not all Tasks can be assigned to "contexts" -to help you keep work and home items separate, for instance - projects and people. It's easy to use, with a simple yet effective front-end, and it also synchronizes with the online to-do list service, Toodledo.

LogMeIn Ignition

For those times when you simply must have access to your desktop PC. you'll need a remote desktop application and there's a wide choice. LogMeln Ignition, though, remains our top pick. Connection is a doddle - no fiddling around with port forwarding is needed - and response times are quick. It's a little pricey on Android, but is free on iOS, with cloud storage and other features available as an annual in-app purchase.

ES File Explorer

ES File Explorer is almost insanely powerful for a free app, functioning as a file explorer for both local device storage and networked devices, an application manager, a file viewer, Bluetooth transfer tool and it will even sync with your cloud storage client. It's not the simplest of apps to use, but it makes up for it with the breadth of its functionality - a must download for any Android user.

SwiftKey Tablet X Keyboard

SwiftKey is a popular keyboard option for Android phones and has recently made the shift to tablet devices. SwiftKey helps you increase your typing speed using a virtual keyboard by use of clever Al predictive text (which learns from your vocabulary). It also allows for a split screen keyboard, letting you thumb type while still holding the device.
