The Android App List That Just Keeps On Growing

Advice By Phil Toronto Jun 22nd |

I threw a list of my favorite Android apps out on the interwebs back in April… and now it’s time to add on to this list to make sure you have the hottest home screen out of your Android-phone-touting friends.  Are all of the apps on this list incredibly useful? I’d say the answer to that question is “Definitely Maybe”.

1.  Google Voice

If you don’t know about Google Voice, that’s OK.  It is Google’s phone service where the end user gets to choose his or her phone number and incoming calls to this number are forwarded to any cell phone or home phone that he or she chooses.  A user may also place outgoing calls with the Google Voice number as well.  Oh… and it’s free.

That’s great, right? Cool. What’s even greater is the fact that Google has a Google Voice Android app that completely integrates the service into your phone.  You are able to easily make calls and send texts from within the Google Voice app as well as check your call logs.  It’s just like having two cell phone numbers for one phone.  It is phenomenal and I love the service.

2.  Missed Call

The Missed Call app offers you some additional customization for your Android phone.  Missed Call allows for customizable LED, sound, vibrate notifications for missed calls, incoming calls, SMS, Bluetooth and Calendar events.  You aren’t restricted to the standard green blinking LED notifications, you can branch out with Missed Call!

3.  mp3tagger

I’m a geek.  There’s no way around this fact (nor do I want there to be).  I get very picky about how my MP3 files are tagged (artist, song, album title, etc.).  mp3tagger allows you to edit the tags of the MP3′s that you store on your Android phone.  It really comes in handy and keeps my OCD in check.

4.  Runstar

This app choice is a personal preference because the functionality of this app is a bit lacking when compared to other similar apps in the Android Market.  Why do I love this app so much? The UI is gorgeous! It’s very iPhone-esque and I’m a big fan of that.  Runstar will map out your runs with GPS and store this data on your phone.  You’re also able to input monthly goals for mileage.  More functionality will eventually be released (although it hasn’t been updated in quite some time).  It works for me, you might want something a bit more functional such as RunKeeper.

5.  Bebbled

I hate this game.  I hate it because once I start playing it, I can’t stop.  I won’t even bother going through a long-winded explanation for Bebbled.  If you’re looking for a game that requires superior problem-solving skills, download Bebbled.  It’s free.

This is my second Android apps list… what apps did I miss?

    My Favorite applications are “Twitter” apps. I currently have used Twidroid, Hootsuite, Seesmic, Tweetcast and Twitters own application. I Like Hootsuite because of its easy organization and I like Twidroid because you can cross “Twitter” streams if you have multiple accounts to see waht everyone is saying all at once.

    I also like the VoiceRecorder app (to record) and the AdvancedTaskManager application (to manage my applications/programs).
