    I think for notes Evernote is more versatile and worthy to be more of professional note taking application.

    Very nice list of apps and among all these apps, ES File Explorer is the app that all Android user must have. It could be a browser, media player, send a file with high speed like ShareIt.

    I actually have most of the listed apps already installed. Exception is ES explorer! I mean, really? Is it really that good? I prefer using ASUS file manager instead & it doesn’t matter if you’ve asus phone or not. Its really easy & fast!

      Hi Roshan, ES File Explorer is really easy to use. We haven’t tried ASUS file explorer as of now but when it comes to Android phones, ES File Explorer is one of the best options :)

        Yeah maybe! But, I think I have used it a while before & comparing it with Asus, I felt Asus way better. Its also not limited to Asus devices only.

    Thanks for this article Shaunak!

    I would also recommend NearMinder, which is the only app to send you reminders based on your proximity to your contacts and places! With this app, you can easily set reminders for things you have to do when meeting people and get notified when these people are nearby. It also works for location-based reminders.
