[div style="text-align: center;"]The Google Play Store is a rather large place, filled with enough apps to boggle the minds of the uninitiated. There are roughly three million apps available there, offering everything from game emulators to complex weather-tracking radar. So where do you even thing to get started?[/div][div style="text-align: center;"][br][/div][div style="text-align: center;"]Here are a few apps we think are essential for anyone using an Android device for the first time.[/div][br]1.[strong]Nova Launcher[/strong][br][br]First things first: Here’s a launcher that will let you customize the appearance and layout of your lock screen to your heart’s content. Nova launcher lets you decide what your phone will look like.[br][br][div style="text-align: center;"]
[/div][br][strong]AirDroid[/strong][br][br]This app is like a giant cord connecting your computer to your phone. Airdroid[a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid&hl=en"]d[/a] lets you transfer photos and files between your phone and your computer. It also allows you to respond to mobile notifications from a computer.[br][br][div style="text-align: center;"]
[/div][br][strong]Firefox[/strong][br][br]If you’re not a fan of Google Chrome (I am, but I understand why some might not be) or the native Android Browser, Mozilla’s Firefox[a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox&hl=en"]x[/a]is a good alternative.[br][br][br][div style="text-align: center;"]
[/div][br][br][strong]LastPass Password Manager[/strong][br][br]Password manager acts like a combination vault and autofill service, generating passwords and login information for all of your sites.[br][br][br][div style="text-align: center;"]
[/div][br][strong]Email App (Gmail; Blue Mail; etc)[/strong][br][br]Frankly, it doesn’t really matter what email app you have on your phone — just that you have one. I prefer Email app in all things, but that’s mostly because I juggle multiple Google accounts, so switching between them in-app is fairly easy.[br][br][br][div style="text-align: center;"]
[/div][br][br][strong]Google Keep[/strong][br][br]Trust me, I’m not trying to flog Google — not on purpose, anyway. It just happens it offers excellent apps for devices of both stripes.[br][br][br][div style="text-align: center;"]
[/div][br][br][strong]ASUS File Manager[/strong][br][br]Managing the information on your Android device can be relatively simple and straightforward, if you have the right app. ASUS’s file managet app is about as light and easy a device as you’re likely to find.[br][br][br][div style="text-align: center;"]
