Top 10 Android Apps In 2018
1. NIAGARA LAUNCHER
Looking for a fresh new skin for your Android phone? The
Niagara launcher is worth considering. It’s sleek and stylish, scaled back, and
adds a few features that you might find useful. For example, you can quickly
and easily change the size of app icons, and rename apps. You can also toggle
on a “pure black” mode — which is essentially a dark theme mode, and more. The
launcher is currently in development, but you can download an early version of
it from the Google Play Store.
2. BOUNCER
Privacy is of growing concern in today’s modern society, and as such you might want to gain a little more control over your app permissions. Bouncer helps you do that. Through the app, you can temporarily grant an app permissions — meaning you could allow Twitter to access your camera, but only for a few seconds when you open the camera in the Twitter app. In other words, with Bouncer you don’t need to worry about what apps are doing in the background.
3. 1LYRICS
1lyrics aims to be the only lyric-related app you ever need.
The app works in conjunction with the likes of Spotify, Google Play Music, and
Amazon Music to show you the lyrics to the song you’re listening to, when
you’re listening to it. Through 1lyrics, you can download lyrics to view
offline, change the theme of the app to suit your style, and more.
4. SPOILERS BLOCKER
Are you constantly worried you’ll run into online spoilers
regarding your favorite movies or TV shows? Spoilers Blocker is for you. The
in-development app, as you might assume, allows you to enter movies and TV
shows that you don’t want spoilers about, after which the app will block
certain text that might contain keywords related to spoilers. It won’t be as
effective as avoiding related content altogether but it may help in case you
unwillingly stumble across something
5. TOR BROWSER
Tor Browser is largely hailed as the most secure internet
browser out there, and now there is a version of the browser for Android. It is
still under development, and you do have to install Orbot because of that,
which is a proxy app that the browser uses to connect to the Tor network, but
if security is of concern to you then it may be well worth the hassle and
potential bugs. The browser blocks trackers, prevents surveillance, and so on.
6. NETFLIX
Netflix is one of the best video-streaming services. There’s
a huge selection of movies and TV shows for subscribers and the performance is
silky smooth. This is as entertained as you can get starting at $8 a month.
7. HULU
Hulu offers thousands of movies and TV shows — many which
are updated with the latest episodes after they air. Hulu offers various
subscription models, including one that opens up the entire streaming library
for $8 a month, and another that removes mid-stream ads for $12 a month
8. YOUTUBE
YouTube’s mobile app is sleek and intuitive, bringing the
entirety of the video sharing site to the palm of your hand. For those
subscribed to YouTube Red, you’ll have access to all the premium content, as well
as special features like audio playback while the screen is off.
9. SPOTIFY
Spotify is the best full-featured streaming service. With
this app, you can stream any music from any type of device, make your own
playlists, follow artists, and sync tracks for offline listening.
10. SOUNDCLOUD
If you’re looking for an all-you-can-eat buffet of sound
with no ads and no subscription fees, you’ve found it. You can discover new
music and stream it from the cloud, but this is no Spotify replacement.
