Hi Larry
A very well described and balanced description of various android apps.
As you know well android is becoming one of the basic necessities of cell users because of the variety of features and options it offers.
All the apps you mentioned are awesome. Especially the performance monitor and party planner are really amazing apps.
I will surely install the journey and note because while travelling I badly feel to work on ideas which comes into my mind while enjoying my journey.
Thanks a lot for sharing this very useful post. I also shared it at Twitter.

Hello Ravi,
The word “Crazy” is not qualified when looking for what to say about the rate at which people want to explore more on their android devices, thereby downloding any app they come across.
It’s good that your love the CAMERA51 thats great, so it’s good you download it and enjoy the heck out of it.

Hey Larry,
That was a nice one for the android users. Though I do not really make use of android devices but from all you have just revealed, the features of these apps are indeed awesome.
Seems i’ll go get an android device in no distant time.
Thanks for sharing this with us
Hello Joseph,
Welcome one again to my blog, sure the above listed apps rock, but it’s quite unfortunate that you don’t use an Android device, anyway you got your reasons for that, but android devices are interesting, it’s good you want to go for one, you definitely gonna enjoy it.
Thanks for stopping by.
Nice android apps but am not using android.
Lol.. Philip,
You can recommend these apps to your friends who use androif devices, so as they don’t miss it.
Thanks for stopping by, do have a wonderful day ahead.
Hi Larry,
I’m not an Android user; in fact, I’m a die hard iOS fan!
However, your presentation of these apps and what they are capable of doing really made me wish I had a phone with such awesome capability (not complaining though, iOS has it’s own fair share of awesome apps). But, too much of any good thing can’t be bad, right?
Maybe, it’s time to have an Android as ‘backup’.
Do make the day great!
Always,
Terungwa
Hello Terungwa,
It’s shoking that you don’t use an android device and aswell no an android fan, I was thinking that every smartphone lover in Nigeria prefers Android devices to others, all thesame, iOS are one other nice ones.
It’s good you want to purchase an Android device, that would be great 🙂 I hope you’ll install this apps when you must have purchased it.
Thanks for stopping by, do have a wonderful day ahead.
Hey,
This is cool! I am personally an IPhone user but I will be definitely looking these up in the app store to see if they are there! The camera one sounds pretty cool although OFFTIME sounds AMAZING!!
As a small business, I tend to find myself working around the clock, every day and never have the phone off time … but if this is on the IPhone, totally going to invest in it!
Thanks for sharing, I really appreciate your knowledge and love to share!
Thanks,
Ally
Hello Allysha,
welcome to my blog. 🙂 it’s good you saw some apps that you love here, and you wish to have them, but unfortunately they are for android smartphones alone 🙁 I’m so sorry about that, but as you said, you’ll check for these apps in your iPhone’s apps store, that’s really gonna be nice if you find them there.
Wish you luck to find them.
thanks for your kind words, and do have a wonderful day ahead. i appreciate your stopping by.
you’re right, android rocks!! especially their apps and games. Good list of apps you listed, and I noted they’re also free. Just downloaded camera51, first one that got my attention, now I can’t wait to take a selfie so I can share on facebook. The review you gave for off-time app sounds cool, got annoying callers i’d always wanted to put on off for a while, guess I’ve just found the right app for that.
Won’t be travelling this Christmas, but atleast I’ll have these apps to while away time with this holiday. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Gracia,
Sure android apps rock, but unfortunately, I don’t use one, but that’s by the way. I’m glad that you like these apps and have already downloaded one, I won’t be asking you if the app app interests you as you’ve already said how much you are in lopve with it.
I’ll be waiting to see the picture you’ve taken with the Camera51, make sure you give me a tag. same here I’m not traveling for the holiday, but in my case, blogging will keep me company.
Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy the season with these apps.
