In this age of smartphones, we all have read about those messages proclaiming the era of smartphones where they are just getting smarter and smarter. This edge over the other phones is often attributed to the software, the applications running on the device.
And it’s no alien fact that a device is far more efficient if loaded with the right apps. Let’s roll down to see which Android apps for Indians perfectly suit the attribute of making smartphones smarter and more efficient.
1. WhatsApp
A must have messaging app for every smartphone user. It’s like if you don’t have WhatsApp, you probably don’t have a smartphone, pretty definitive! What’s more is that it’s free and compatible with every smartphone. And recently being acquired by Facebook, this app seems to have become very popular.
2. DropBox
Now being a student myself, I would never put down an app like this; efficient, light and so cool. It works up like the virtual notebook for all my files. It not only helps me save my files but also enables me to share them with my classmates. It works on the basis of uploading files on a virtual server so you/your shared contacts can access it anytime or from anywhere.
3. Zomato
Searching for a restaurant in your city? Looking for a good place to share those delightful moments with school buddies but not sure if any match your filters? Rest assured, for Zomato does this for you. A must have app for foodies like me, and all others too who look down upon that galli (street) scouting for a good bite. There’s a selection of restaurants for every major city with varying preference filters.
4. YouTube
You just can’t ignore this app.
It’s like the big daddy of all apps for watching videos online on your smartphone. Simple, elegant yet highly efficient! Content that can be accessed include video clips, educational videos, music videos, TV clips, original videos and much more.
5. Bookmyshow
I couldn’t have missed this one in the list of best Android apps for Indians. It’s the one stop pit for all ticket bookings not only for movies but plays, concerts and events are also included in this app too. Apart from booking tickets online, this app also caters to providing information regarding upcoming movies, venue and other details.
6. Hike
Now this is an app made by an Indian, for Indians and of Indians! The advantages of using this app are its universality, easy UI and great stickers. Add to this the facility to send free SMS and this app seems to champion all messaging apps. Send files, audio and photos in your chat seamlessly and share interesting stickers with your friends using hike!
7. TrueCaller
I didn’t have this app a while ago and then I’d been getting prank calls from some nutpicks. But with the installation of this app, I now can block unwanted numbers from totally accessing me in any form. Plus I get to see who’s calling from any number. It’s a great Android app for Indians and a smart one.
8. Flipkart
With e-commerce trends sky rocketing with every passing year, Flipkart has entered this list for its easy accessibility to mobile shopping. Now shopping online using your smartphone in a never-before-like fashion enjoying the comfort of your couch has been made possible.
9. OLX
This app has not only garnered 1 crore plus users but has earned a reputed tagline to it too, “Kuch nahi toh OLX pe bech de!” Quite comfy, but what makes the app indispensable is its wide variety of categories which cater to every kind of barter system and selling needs.
10. Saavn
Saavn is one of the most favourite app of the music lovers.
It allows the user to listen to the latest and the classic songs free over the internet. Users can also make their custom playlist for enjoying their favourite music tracks without any interruption.
Despite the inexhaustible number of Android apps for Indians, I’ve prudently enlisted the best apps that should transform your smartphone to an entirely new device. Do tell me if I missed your favourite!
