These 15 Apps should be on Your Phone before the Start of new year

 Best Apps of 2015
Hello friends! As the countdown begins for 2016, I would like to bring back some flashback of some of the most successful apps which were leave their mark on its users. I would concentrate on the free apps only because I know still most of us would not like to spend money of apps.
Well the list begins now.


1. Seven Minute Workout.
This is probably the best workout app on android. It’s simple, easy to follow and time saving. It basically focuses on short, high intensity workouts which are scientifically proven and can actually help you out to get those extra pounds off your body.
You just need to download the app and you are ready to go. You need not to go with registration and all the hassles which other apps ask you to go through.




2. Android Device Manager.
This app was launched by Google to help the users to find out their devices if lost and to manage their devices online. You can login into your account from a browser and can get access to your phone. You can locate your phone, secure them and wipe out the entire data if required. You need to give the app administrator access in order to use these features but as the app is built by Google only you can rely on it.





3. Fleksy.
This is the best keyboard to use if you are not having Google keyboard or not using it. It is one of the easiest keyboards available on playstore with tons of shortcuts and gestures.
Its experience gets better as you keep on using it.




4. ES file explorer.
Well over the time ES file explorer has come up with some really great features and now it is the only app in its field with this many features and options available on play store. You can use it as an explorer, zip and unzip files, hide folders, download manager, cloud storage and the list goes on. If I discuss all the features of this app I think it would take another article to finish its usability.





5. Google Maps.
If you are talking about the best apps available, you cannot leave this one out. Many apps have been released in last few years with offline maps but still the accuracy with which Google maps works still cannot be achieved. It has also added the feature of saving any particular area of the map. So basically Google maps has all the features required to make it the best Apps in this section.



6. LastPass
It a password manager and is available on Playstore without any charges. You can get its premium service after a basic payment and with that you can sync this app to your desktop also. It not only saves your passwords but also auto fills them on the apps which you use frequently.


7. Pocket.
This app allows you to save webpages which you can read afterwards or refer to them whenever you want. I know it sound really simple but still this is one of the apps which every Smartphone user must have. You can save pages not only from your phone but also from your desktop browser. You just need to install an addin of this software and login into your account and you are good to go.


8. Google Play Music.
Well Google has a knack of making the apps which can sustain into their segment and maintain their position on the top. Google Play Music is also among one of these apps. It is not just a music player but you can download songs, rate them and even share your account with your friends and relatives. So basically you can get choices of others also in selecting your music albums.



9. Photos
Again one of Google’s App manages to get a spot in the top 15 Apps of the year. Photos was launched this year only but it managed to attract a lot of users since its launch. It not just a image gallery but it also allows user to do some basic editing of the images and has some really interesting features like albums, Collage and sharing of albums and photos via Photos app also. You can also store the images on cloud and can access them from your desktop.



10. Khan Academy.
With large number of followers of Khan Academy and a large user database Khan Academy app was an instant hit. It is only app to cover such variety of topics with detailed explanation and videos on the topics. It is definitely one of the best apps in the knowledge and learning section.


11. Nova Launcher.
This app is available for free on the Playstore but some of its features are available on the paid version only. I have used both the free version and paid version of this app and I would recommend you to use this app even though you are using the free version only. With this app you can customise the look of your phone to whole new level. You can change the icons, its size, fonts, lock screen, scrolling and other whole bunch of features. It offers so many options that you can really spend days customising your phone still you will have features left to try on.


12. Evernote.
This note taking app has taken long strides in this field and is now not limited to simple note taking only. You can actually write down the reminders or notes instead of typing them. You can add images as notes. You can make your notes as reminders also. All these features made this app one of the most popular app in this field.


13. Pushbullets.
This app connects your cell to your desktop through a web browser. You can transfer files, check notifications, answer messages for some of the services. This app comes in handy for regular uses and is really simple to use.


14. English.
This dictionary app brings in a really huge database of words and you need to get online every time you use this app. It gives you detailed meanings, synonyms and sentences related to the word. Its really simple to use this app and comes in really handy for regular usage.


15. Whatsapp.
Well Whatsapp has to be in here otherwise the list won’t look complete. Many messaging apps have started gaining ground in the last year but still the user base of Whatsapp is far ahead of any of these apps. Whatsapp has upgraded in the last one year and has added some cool features but still lags behind other apps when it comes to transferring files, no of emogis etc. But still it will always have of advantage of being the first of its kind in the messaging field.

Whatsapp update for android and what's the new stuff in!!!!

WHATSAPP 2.12.367 UPDATE
                         

 Hello friends!! The new version of Whastsapp (2.12.367) is out on playstore and on its home website. You can update it directly from Playstore or from the link whatsapp. There are few new features which you may have noticed till now but still I will try to list them out for those who have not looked out for these new feautres.

With this update your get a better control over messaging than the previous version. Also there are some new emogis with similar array of skin tones as was introduced in the earlier update. I will list out these new features separately in this blog.

1.       Star Mark Messages :

It is basically similar to bookmark feature available in internet browsers. You can star mark the messages and these messages will appear in a separate “Starred Messages” option in the main window. In order to star mark any message, long press the message. Once it gets selected you can see the star option in the top along with the delete, copy and forward options.
Once star marked you can find the message in the “Starred Messages” window in the menu option on the home screen

  





2.       New Emogis.
This Update brings some new emogis and it was really surprising to find that now you can send a middle finger also from whatsapp. Some other emogis are also added with the same array of skin tones which came in the last update

.  









3.       Link Preview.
With this update a shared link will give preview of the content  on the link page. Basically the title of the webpage and preview image of the page is shown along with the link. This feature does not add to the usability of the software but adds to the overall user experience.






4.       Custom Notifications for People.
Last update of whatsapp introduced the feature of custom notification but it was limited to groups only. Now you can customize the notification of individual contacts also. It works in the same manner and has similar options as with groups custom notification feature.








5.       Easy to Clear Chats.
With this update whatsapp gives you an easier way to clear chats and messages as compared to the older version. You can get options to clear messages older than 6 months or 30 days.






6.       Backup Messages
.    Whatsapp gave this feature to some of the devices  but with this updated this feature has come in an enhancedway. Now you can select option to backup messages with specified duration. You can backup messages daily, weekly, monthly or yo   u can do it manually whenever you want.
