Best Android FREE Apps

Cut the clutter and discover the best free applications (apps) for your Android phone.

The number of phones with Android OS from Google is growing very quickly across the globe. Along with its success, the number of good apps for this incredible OS is also multiplying every day. That's great news but, as it happens with the iPhone, it is necessary to find ways to promote and explore what is worth it installing or not. And, in my opinion, the best way to do that is through collaboration, since the wisdom of the crowds always works. I hand-picked and tested all apps below, but really believe this page will continue to be relevant only through your contribution.

Looking for the best apps for your shiny new Android phone? This is the place to go. Found out about an amazing app and want to spread the news? You are more than welcome to make this page better every day. Add your favorite apps or rate them up and down according to your preference. Enjoy!

Installing your apps

Scan this code to add this page as a bookmark on your phone.The most straightforward way to install apps is by clicking on the "Market" icon on your phone and searching for the desired application. However, you can also quickly download apps from your computer by scanning the QR Codes (like the one you see next to this text). To do that, go to the Android Market on your phone and search for "Barcode Scanner".

Recently Google launched their web version of the Android Market. Find your app, click on install and the app will be added wirelessly to your phone.

Trivia

Did you know that...
.... the deserts chosen to name each Android version start with sequential alphabet letters? See all versions below:

Eclair
Froyo
Gingerbread
Honeycomb
Ice Cream Sandwich

I wonder if A-D versions were internal only, since the first OS starts with an E (Eclair)
