BEST PRODUCTIVITY APP
Google Drive
Free
Google Drive is one of the most refined cloud storage apps
on the Play store, offering a combination of simple design with deep
functionality. The app itself uses a stripped back menu system, and everything
you need can be accessed in just a few presses and swipes of the screen. The
same can be said about the content uploader, which cuts out the fuss of having
to manually go through several menus to upload just a single document, and
instead allows for painless bulk uploads of files.
What makes this particular cloud storage app stand out from
the strong competition is how it integrates with other Google apps. All your
Google Calendar appointments can be added, music purchased through Google Music
can be uploaded, and you can also create, edit and upload documents through the
Google Docs integration. To be a fantastic application, you don't need fancy
design and cutting-edge features, and Google
Drive is living testament to that theory. Performing a
function that people need, and repeatedly doing it well, is the sole reason why
Google Drive is one of the best apps you can add to your tablet.
BEST SOCIAL APP
Pinterest
Free
Although Pinterest, as a social media site, is still playing
catch-up with the likes of Facebook and Twitter, Pinterest is one step ahead in
creating a superb official app. All the main features have been ported over to
the tablet version of the app, with a few tweaks and modifications along the
way. As well as creating your very own pinboard, in which you can add your own
posts, including audio and video, you can view other pinboards, leave comments
and also sync your account with the main desktop version.
BEST READING APP
GameQ
Free
Despite heavy competition from both the Kindle and Dark
Horse Comics apps, GameQ wins for one very key reason - design. From the team
at GameFly, GameQ is an interactive gaming magazine that offers a great mix of
original content. Features are varied, reviews are thorough and comprehensive
and every issue is completely free to download. Text is easy to read, and can
be resized and customized to help. Although it's a rather niche subject, GameQ
should be celebrated for displaying what magazines should do on Android tablets.
BEST MULTIMEDIA APP
FilmOn TV
Free
FilmOn gives you access to 120 high-quality TV channels in
the UK, USA and Europe, which you can watch on your Android device. Channels are quick to buffer, and streaming quality is
great compared to similar apps. The planner feature lets you make a schedule of
every programme you want to watch in the future, and then alerts you to them
when they're a few minutes from starting. With the latest update you’ll
automatically be taken to your scheduled programme when it's about to start.
With several overseas channels supported, you'll also discover new content that
you might enjoy.
BEST CREATIVE APP
Adobe Photoshop Touch
Although it isn't as thorough as its desktop counterpart, Photoshop
Touch is a class above any photo and image editing app on the Play store by a
clear distance. The level of editing is phenomenal, and no matter what kind of
changes, big or small, you'll find an answer within the app. There's a steep
learning curve to get started with the app, and people with little knowledge
about design may struggle at first, but once you get used to it, you'll find
one of the most engaging and useful apps available on the Play store.
