The 12 Must Have Android Apps Every User Should Download
By MAX MILLER
Authenticator
Digital security is a growing concern for many as data breaches become more common. Luckily, Google Authenticator can turn your phone into a digital Fort Knox.
The Google Authenticator app provides easily accessible authenticator codes, security features like anti-screenshot protection, and it backs up your codes to your Google account.
Surfshark
While there are many VPN options, Surfshark remains one of the best. It provides excellent IP address masking and only requires a single subscription for all your devices.
Surfshark’s Android app is clean and intuitive, and the MultiHop feature allows you to route your connection through multiple countries, making it even harder to trace.
KWGT
Android’s main benefit is its infinite customization. You can take this further with the custom widget-building app KWGT.
The app can be tricky to figure out, but it gives seemingly endless customization options, from minimalist designs to recreating the computer interfaces from “Iron Man.”
Tasker
The Tasker app allows you to automate parts of your life by programming action strings that can be triggered by performing other actions.
It can do things like opening your workout playlist when you connect to a Bluetooth speaker. It may be challenging to master initially, but it’s worth it in the end.
PhotoScan
PhotoScan is perhaps one of the most underappreciated apps Google offers. This program provides a simple way to scan photos and documents.
While the images don’t quite match those of a high-quality scanner in terms of resolution, the app comes surprisingly close, making it a great option for most people.
