Google Report: Top 10 Android Apps of 2012
Google recently announced their top best Android apps of 2012. The list is made of 10 of the most useful and successful applications ever to be downloaded on a smartphone. We downloaded them ourselves to see if they were indeed as good as advertised. And they were. Let’s see their names and what they can offer you.
1. Angry Birds
Who hasn’t heard of ? If you haven’t, though, this is a game created by a Finnish team. It’s very successful and people all over the world love it. So it was only natural that an app version would eventually come everyone’s way. This app can be found in several versions on Google’s Android app store. You can download either , , or if you feel like. Each of them is highly entertaining.
2. Pinterest
is another Android app which Google preferred over others. You can search various things with it and keep them organized for later use. You can create boards that are made of, say, places to visit this year, food to try tomorrow and so on. You can even share stuff that you think your friends might like.
3. Temple Run
is another example of a very popular game right after Angry Birds. If you like its description, be sure to get the version which says Temple Run 2, because that’s the latest one. And it has some new goodies which the previous version lacks. Once you download it, though, prepare to be sucked in and forget what time and date it is.
4. Grimm’s Snow White
is, you guessed it, connected to the famous fairy tale written by two equally famous brothers. From what Google said, this application is one of the most downloaded ones. But it doesn’t contain only Snow White. The rest of the fairy tales written by the brothers Grimm are also included. So you won’t miss any of the fun if you are a fan of them.
5. Evernote
is, according to the same Google, a very good rival to all of the above apps already discussed here at DroidGator. If you wish to have something that helps you create to-do lists and other such important ways of keeping track of important things, this is the app for you. Another advantage it offers is that you can read these notes online no matter where you are and no matter the time of day. So keep Evernote in mind if you ever feel like an agenda is not enough for your daily needs.
6. Fancy
