7th place: File manager
Each of us uses the capabilities of our smartphone in different ways: it depends on the type of activity, the range of tasks to be solved, interests and other factors. Some, in the old fashioned way, are content only with the telephone capabilities of the device, others combine voice communication with communication in in social networks, web surfing and games, others use gadgets with might and main for taking photos and videos, navigating, banking, reading books. There are also many who use a smartphone or tablet in business activities: to work with electronic correspondence and documents, operational communications with colleagues and partners, business development. The scope of mobile technology is huge, but few are aware of the existence of products in the Google Play app store that allow you to look at familiar devices from a completely different perspective and fully reveal their potential. Interested? Then let's move on to an illustrated review of the twenty most unusual applications for Android!
Our TOP 20 opens with a couple of applications that have the same name Smart Tools and are available for download at this and this links on Google Play. With their help, it will not be difficult to turn a smartphone into a “Swiss army knife” and use it as a sound level meter, range finder, vibration meter, metal detector, light meter, thermometer, radar for measuring the speed of moving objects, level, magnifying glass, metronome, tuning fork, cardiograph and a dozen other useful household tools. For the full operation of both programs, it is necessary to support a whole bunch of sensors in the mobile device: illumination, proximity, accelerometer / gyroscope, magnetometer (digital compass), barometer and others. Of course, you should not count on the accuracy of the measurements made by Smart Tools, but in some cases such a set of software assistants can do a good job. For example, it can be useful for searching on hastily flush wiring in wall or leveling washing machine along the horizontal plane.
Since we are talking about measuring tools, Planimeter can be a great addition to the applications mentioned above - a tool for determining distance, area, perimeter, angles on the ground with using Google Maps and built-in smartphone GPS/GLONASS receiver. Such a program can be used in various fields: field and agricultural work, planning, construction, travel and entertainment. It can also be useful for real estate agents. To calculate the perimeter or area of any object (for example, land plot) it is enough to set the starting point on the map, enable route tracking and then go around the object. Planimeter will automatically perform all calculations and give you the measurement result. Similarly, you can measure the distance between two points on the map and the angles between lines.
More progressive in terms of measurements is the Radioactivity Counter program, which allows you to seriously use your smartphone as ... the simplest radiation dosimeter! To monitor the radiation situation, a photosensitive matrix of a mobile phone camera is used, the lens of which must first be covered with a dark film - for example, from a floppy disk or an x-ray. After that, you will need to calibrate the application according to the instructions on the developers' website, and you can start measuring the background radiation. The link also presents various research materials, the results of experiments using professional equipment and demonstration videos, confirming the practical value and performance of the Radioactivity Counter.
High school students and students of technical universities will definitely enjoy the PhotoMath application for solving mathematical problems using a smartphone camera and optical recognition technology for Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tests. The principle of working with the program is simple, like everything ingenious: just point the camera at a mathematical problem, and PhotoMath will immediately give an answer and give a detailed step-by-step solution. The capabilities of the application allow you to recognize not only printed, but also handwritten text, as well as make edits to scanned formulas and equations. To be fair, we note that this mobile assistant can be useful not only for students, but also for parents - to check the correctness of children's homework.
The review would not be complete without mentioning Im2Calories, Google's experimental application that allows you to determine the calorie content of food from a photo. developers involved in the technology program artificial intelligence and machine learning allow it to determine the type of food, its ingredients and serving size with high accuracy, and then, based on the information received, infer the number of calories in the dish. However, it is not necessary that the picture be high resolution, - even a photo from Instagram is enough. Unfortunately, not yet known, when will it take place full release Im2 Calories. As soon as the application sees the light, we will definitely tell you more about it.
Another noteworthy creation Google Teams- PhotoScan application for creating digital copies of memorable and dear paper photos. According to the creators of the program, it does not just take a snapshot of the image, but transfers it to digital media from high quality. Using artificial intelligence technologies, PhotoScan independently determines the boundaries, aligns the image, changes its orientation, and removes unnecessary glare. As a result of scanning, copies of the correct rectangular shape with corrected perspective are obtained, which can be saved in the smartphone’s memory or in cloud service Google photos.
Do not lag behind and domestic organizations, including state. One of them is federal Service for the regulation of the alcohol market (Rosalkogolregulirovanie), which created the Anti-Counterfeit Alco application, which is relevant for lovers of “take on the chest”, which is designed to determine the authenticity of alcoholic products. Using the phone camera, the program reads the excise stamp (or the barcode on the check), checks with the Unified State Automated information system(EGAIS) and displays the results of the check on the screen. You can immediately report the found violation to the Federal Alcohol Regulation Agency and notify the department about the illegal point of sale of alcohol. Also in the application there is a map of stores that have a license to sell alcohol. In the light of cases of mass poisoning of the population with methyl alcohol and counterfeit alcoholic products, widely discussed in the media, it is definitely not worth writing off AntiCounterfeit Alco.
For motorists, our selection includes three programs at once: Auto Acceleration, Car Alarm and MeteoMoyka. The first allows you to turn your smartphone into a device for measuring the acceleration time of a car up to 100 km/h, the second into a simple alarm to protect against theft, damage or evacuation of a car, the third into an assistant that suggests the most successful day for car washing and automatically builds a route to the nearest car washes. The fundamental difference between the Auto Acceleration application and its competitors is the use of information from two sensors: a GPS receiver and an accelerometer. They are also involved in Car Alarm, which controls the location of the vehicle and, in case of an alarm, notifies the owner by a call or SMS. A feature of MeteoMoyka is a system for analyzing meteorological data and evaluating the weather forecast for several days in advance. It is she who determines the most suitable time for washing vehicles.

A good addition to the set of mentioned programs for motorists is the Nexar application - AI Dashcam, which turns a smartphone into an advanced DVR that can simultaneously record video from the front and rear cameras, analyze the traffic situation on the fly and inform the driver about emerging dangers.
Thanks to the ABBYY FineScanner app, your smartphone can Android based can cope with the role of a pocket scanner for documents and books. Created by a Russian developer, the product allows you to create PDF or JPG files from any printed documents(invoices, certificates, contracts, personal documents). The program has built-in OCR technology that recognizes texts in 193 languages and uploads results in 12 popular formats, including DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, PDF, while maintaining formatting. Ready documents can be transferred to any of the eight cloud storage, print, email, open in another PDF application. To scan book and magazine publications, ABBYY FineScanner provides the BookScan function, which automatically splits a photographed spread of a book into two pages, straightens line bends, removes defects, and makes a scanner copy that can be recognized and received as an edited file.
IT system administrators should bookmark the aptly named Web Monitor for monitoring and diagnosing servers on TCP/IP networks. The program periodically, with a specified time interval, sends requests to the sites set in the settings, captures the responses received from them and generates detailed statistics on the operation of network nodes. When using such a mobile tool, it will not be difficult to find out if the server is functioning, whether it “hangs” and when it was unavailable, as well as analyze the quality and load of the communication channel. In fact, Web Monitor is an advanced version of the Ping diagnostic utility, which is included with all modern operating systems and is designed to check connections in networks based on TCP / IP.
A more perfect and technologically advanced analogue of Web Monitor is Pulseway - software package for comprehensive monitoring of workstations and servers running Windows platforms, macOS and Linux, as well as virtual environments Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware and XenServer, MS database management systems SQL Server, IIS servers, Exchange, Active Directory and other enterprise level services. With it, you can remotely monitor the operation of devices and tasks performed, view screenshots, analyze equipment performance, receive information about the status of services and services, as well as errors and failures in the systems. Pulseway allows you to send commands remote machines: reboot them, suspend processes, send messages to authorized users and perform other operations with complete list which can be found on the pulseway.com product site. The collection of necessary information and management of computers is carried out through special software clients installed on workstations and servers.
Well, the WiFi Analyzer mobile tool closes our selection, allowing you to use your smartphone as a network scanner. The program scans the air for a subject wifi signals, determines the signal level of each of the detected networks, as well as their characteristics (SSID, channel, encryption method, MAC address of the router, etc.) and, based on the information collected, draws visual graphs that reflect a clear picture wireless networks. WiFi Analyzer supports various frequency bands and can be used to determine the optimal settings and location of Wi-Fi devices in order to improve the quality of signal reception and properly build wireless LANs in an organization. The application can serve well when conducting a network security audit and troubleshooting network equipment.
There are over 2 million applications on Google Play, most of which copy the functionality of each other or are simply outright slag. It is difficult to choose software that will become your assistant and will roam from smartphone to smartphone, and the tasks of all users are different. But we are sure that our rating, which includes only the best programs for Android, will add a couple of titles to the list of your favorite programs.
Another Call Recorder
ACR is one of the simplest, most intuitive and well-functioning call recording programs. The application offers an extensive number of settings: more than 8 audio formats, automatic and manual recording, uploading files to the cloud, protecting recordings with a password, deleting them after a specified time, and much more.
The program is shareware, the Pro version without ads costs a little more than a dollar, it also adds the ability to automate recording for individual contacts. When running in the background, ACR consumes little to no battery. Judging by the reviews, 95% of users have no problems with the launch and operation of ACR, so in terms of stability this is the best call recording program for Android.
Mindly
Mindly is a great free mind mapping app, and if you don't know what it is, we highly recommend you catch up. Memory cards can be used to plan tasks, create notes and abstracts, prepare for a speech or a business event - any thoughts and ideas, designed visually, are much easier to navigate than ordinary notes.
Unlike other similar programs, in Midnly there is not only a limit on the number of elements inside the map, but also advertising, and images and extended notes can be attached to any icon. It is definitely one of the most useful free apps in Play Market!
Lightning QR Scanner
Many people still do not understand why a smartphone needs a QR scanner and why decoding a QR code may be required. But it’s worth keeping abreast of technology: such tags provide fast access to extended information on goods, addresses, tickets, attractions, they allow you to follow an encrypted link on the Internet, get a discount on goods or instantly pay for utilities.
The best QR code reader for Android is Lightning QR Scanner, it is fast and error-free, has the most unobtrusive ads in the free version of all analogues and works equally effectively with regular barcodes. Simple, fast and free - what else do you need?
MapcamDroid
An indispensable assistant for any driver, MapcamDroid, performs the functions of an anti-radar and warns of approaching traffic police posts, speed cameras and places with high accident rates. Internet is not required for operation, it is enough to download the database for your region when installing the application. About 250 countries are available in the program, including Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.
The application works without problems in the background and is synchronized with any navigators and video recorders. MapcamDroid is undoubtedly the best anti-radar program for Android, it is supported by tens of thousands of users who update the database daily and check the correctness of the information available.
Pedometer by Leap Fitness Group
The Market is full of carbon copy pedometers similar friend against each other, and they all suffer from the same disease - inaccurate calculations. The application from Leap Fitness Group stands out with a minimum number of false positives, it works according to the readings of the accelerometer sensor (whose sensitivity can be adjusted according to yourself), which means that there is no excess battery consumption due to constantly active GPS.
The pedometer has a nice minimalist design, it is completely free, it supports extended physical activity statistics and many other interesting features. In general, if you need a pedometer program for Android, this is the best choice.
Nova Launcher
Of all the launchers, Nova is the most customizable, smooth and beautiful. If you are tired of the stock interface of your smartphone, this application will help you change it beyond recognition. Nova brings not only visual changes, but also functionality - enhanced support for gestures, an unread application counter on desktop shortcuts, the ability to flexibly customize the application menu, context menu on icons.
The launcher is completely in Russian, it is not demanding on resources and works correctly even on old smartphones (Android 4.1+ is required), another indisputable plus is the thorough support from developers who quickly fix any bugs and release updates regularly. In general, Nova Launcher must be included in any top Android programs.
Google Photos
Everyone knows about Google Photo android users, but many do not use this great application, preferring the usual gallery to it. Of course, you can use something like QuickPick to view images, but this is not the beauty of the product from the Good Corporation - Google Photo automatically uploads photos to the cloud. Imagine: you came home from vacation, and the pictures on the computer are already waiting for you to view them.
Add built-in processing tools here, automatic creation collages, animations and mini-movies, grouping photos by places, objects and faces, a reminder of the photo events of the past days and get one of the most useful applications for smartphones in principle.
Snapseed
Snapseed has been and remains a top-notch color grading tool, with comprehensive functionality including RGB curves and light balance, retouching, noise reduction, sharpening, and many presets and effects, including double exposure.
This editor is ideal for an amateur photographer, but this is not the kind of program where cool processing is obtained at the touch of a button. Snapseed allows you to achieve amazing results even with cameras budget smartphones, but you need to learn how to work in it at least minimally. If you are interested best apps for Android for photo editing, where the whole process is fully automated, download Photo Lab and enjoy a variety of colorful photo effects and filters.
LAZY IPTV
The most advanced and at the same time free client for watching IPTV, which also supports playing videos from VK, YouTube and listening to Internet radio.

With the functionality of LAZY IPTV, it will take a very long time to list everything that this client can do. In general, deal with the application and you will not need other best programs for watching TV on Android.
Where are my children
A spy program for Android designed to be used for good purposes. By using this application you will be able to track in real time on the map the location of family members who have similar software installed on their phones. 
For greater security, an alert is provided when the child leaves the set area, there is a hidden dialer function that allows you to listen to what is happening around the baby, as well as a built-in chat for instant messaging. The application supports synchronization not only with smartphones, but also with children's smart watches. “Where are my children” is definitely a must-have for caring parents.
That's all, we reviewed the TOP 10 best programs for Android. We hope that this rating has opened something new for you and helped you choose a couple of useful assistants for yourself.
One of the reasons smartphones have got huge widescreens is to watch videos. Processors today can consume almost no energy when the smartphone is in video player mode, and in terms of the number of formats that a typical Android smartphone “pulls”, it is even cooler than computers. In theory, it will handle both the ancient videos of the early 90s and the new 4K video.
In theory, because standard video players in smartphones are made on the principle of "if only something would be played somehow." If you happen to record a bunch of movies from your computer to your smartphone to watch on the go, you run the risk of finding that half of the videos either won't open or play without picture and/or sound.
MX Player is an excellent omnivorous video player on Android
All this can be fixed by installing a truly omnivorous player. There are many of them, but MX is one of the most authoritative and sophisticated among its kind. It plays any video and music in a very economical mode even on old smartphones, it can make the volume in videos twice as high as a standard player (in films with a quiet sound track this is very handy), switch between several types of voice acting, scale the frame with a “pinch”, as in photographs, and open videos from sites in a convenient Android player.
MX Player itself is free, but it is loaded with ads. The ad-free version is already worth the money. The only trouble is that, due to the greed of patent holders, support for the AC3 format (multichannel sound in modern films) needs to be downloaded and “fastened” separately. But take my word for it - the player is very good and deserves such trouble.
ES File Explorer - clean your smartphone from debris and transfer files over Wi-Fi
A long time ago, when Android was a semi-finished product, there were no smart file managers in it. In order to flaunt before the owners of iPhones with the fact “look, I have everything laid out in folders, like on a computer!”, it was necessary to download separate application to manage files.
Those days are long gone, and now there are commonplace programs for renaming, moving or copying files in every smartphone. But there are no quality ones among them.
ES File Explorer will help you transfer files over Wi-Fi and clean your system of junk
ES File Explorer was one of the first noteworthy file managers on Android, today it has grown in breadth and can do much more than the average user needs. But an active android phone user will definitely need the following “goodies”:
- Ability to open files from local network . For example, from shared folder on your computer / laptop, or from a hard drive / flash drive that you plugged into the router.
- Working with archives. Someday they will send you a pack of photos, a Word / Excel document inside a .zip, .rar or something even worse. ES Explorer will be able to open such archives without problems.
- Drive Analysis. If the smartphone is full of files to the eyeballs, while it is not very clear why the place suddenly ended so abruptly, just press the "analysis" key in ES, after which it will show how much memory space is occupied by pictures / music / applications and games / documents, will arrange them from large to small and allow you to remove the "garbage" right in the same menu. An almost non-alternative function in terms of its convenience.
- Transfer files between smartphones at Wi-Fi speed. It is unlikely that you send photos, music and videos to nearby mobile phones as often as in the era of polyphonic ringtones, but Bluetooth has since been and has remained a dull and slow way of communication, but normal universal way transfer files over Wi-Fi did not come up with. More precisely, they came up with, but only between identical applications. If you and your friend have ES Explorer, you can send large files in two clicks at the highest possible speed between mobile phones - the file manager has a "sender" function for this case.
WPS Office - Word, Excel and all-all-all
During the existence of smartphones, standards files Microsoft Office(Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) at first were "heavy" exotics, then a revelation with which everyone tried to edit texts on tiny screens. Today, there are no miracles in viewing and finely editing text in documents and presentations. Another thing is that such files (+ Adobe PDF documents) will be sent to you by e-mail from all sides, and there will be nothing to open them on a smartphone. You can, of course, keep the intrigue until you get to the desktop PC, but it is more reasonable to spend several tens of megabytes of memory on a ready-made set for opening and editing everything “office”.
WPS Office - Word, Excel and PowerPoint in your pocket
WPS Office (formerly Kingsoft Office if you're interested) isn't the coolest office suite of its kind, but it's free, bug-free, fast, and doesn't lack features even when compared to expensive alternatives. Recommended.
Weather/news widgets - not to turn on the TV
As in the case with file managers, smartphones are not deprived of informers about the temperature outside the window and the latest news, but the quality of standard widgets almost always leaves much to be desired. Therefore, we advise you to decorate the desktop with informational details from other developers.
The appearance and functionality of widgets is always a matter of taste, but in our opinion, Yandex offers the least catchy and at the same time functional options for weather and news. A side effect is the constant “steaming” of search, the Taxi application and other company products.
Weather and news will make the smartphone desktop always an interesting sight
At first, looking at headlines and weather instead of “wallpaper” on your desktop will be unusual, but take my word for it - very soon you will begin to enjoy the fact that you will know all the main events in the world before TV viewers and news readers on the Internet. It is also not necessary to delve only into political conflicts - car lovers or electronic devices can only receive information on their favorite topics.
Shazam - find out what song is playing
Every day you hear music, among which there are songs that seem to shock you. Because here, under this very song, you rushed under the Christmas tree as a child / were going on a first date / got a job / something else, but from the text in a foreign language it is still not clear what it is about, and you also don’t remember who He actually sings this song and what is the name of it.
With new smartphones, this is no longer a problem - you take out your “shovel” on Android from the wide legs, press the key. The smartphone listens to the song and calls the artist and the name of the song after a few seconds. That's what an app called Shazam is for.
Shazam: you will always know what music is playing nearby
Of course, Shazam, although it was one of the first, is far from the only one of its kind - Sony has similar applications, and even Google has recently begun to learn to recognize music. But Shazam has the largest knowledge base, so it's still the surest way to recognize music with a smartphone.
It seems to you now that such a function will not be needed regularly - when you begin to suffer after you heard a fragment of your favorite song, but did not find out who sings it, you will remember our words.
Currency converter - a tragedy with the dollar and the ruble in the lead roles
What are you laughing at? Have you already forgotten how you tore your hair on your head and rushed to stores for equipment in order to have time to buy it before the price tags are rewritten?
Of course, I would like to believe that the worst is behind us, and in the coming years we will not find sharp fluctuations of the ruble against the US dollar, but it will not be superfluous to keep an eye on how the national currency is doing so that later we will not learn the shocking truth last, from the evening news reports. And in general, a convenient tool for converting between currencies of different countries will come in handy on vacation and on business trips.
How is our long-suffering ruble doing there?
There are a lot of applications that can convert currencies, we will recommend one of the most obvious among them - Easy Currency Converter. Simple in appearance, with the ability to select "favorite" currencies and a chart with the dynamics of the exchange rate. That is, in addition to the current figures, you can always see how the ruble bounced / fell against the dollar over the next days, months or even years. Gourmets, by the way, can even glance at the so-called Russian Zen - the "holy trinity" of the dollar, euro and the price of a barrel of oil.
Messengers - VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, WhatsApp, Viber, Skype and others
A very naive item in our selection, but if you have just recently bought a smartphone, you should know that “smart phones” differ from simple ones by focusing on constant communication not only for calls and SMS in GSM networks, but also via the Internet. The ability to correspond in "ICQ" was in ancient times, but in new smartphones under Android control you have the opportunity to share huge amounts of information, video recordings, make video calls abroad for free!
A smartphone is an opportunity to communicate without regard to tariffs and distances
Because cellular operators have long transferred everyone to tariffs with a monthly fee, to which the serious shred of the Internet is “nailed”. This is enough to stop sending SMS and switch to communicating with friends and relatives online.
It is not necessary to install all instant messengers at once (although it is desirable) - select those in which you will keep in touch with someone. This will be enough.
Video on the network - "telly", online cinemas or short jokes
Of course, with a limited amount of traffic in the new cellular tariffs(Unlimited Russian operators have moved away in order to more effectively “milk” subscribers) does not allow to accelerate much, but the Internet package is enough for a certain amount of video entertainment. And with periodic Wi-Fi at home or at work, you can get out even more efficiently.
If you didn't know, the "big three" (MTS, Beeline, MegaFon) mobile operators there is applications for watching TV via 3G/4G without spending traffic from the tariff. In MTS, for such a pleasure, they want a little money in excess of the tariff, in Beeline there is a small amount free channels+ paid, MegaFon varies the number free tariffs depending on the amount of the subscription fee for your tariff. In any case, if you would like to watch TV away from the "box", pay attention to such services of cellular operators.
TV, movies or short videos - Android has it all
And if, on the contrary, you don’t want the TV to reach you from your mobile phone, install an online cinema for yourself to watch feature films or music videos. The most popular applications of this kind remain ivi.ru and Megogo, among unofficial (which are not in Google Play) and completely free clients you can note video mix , HD VideoBox and LazyIPTV.
