Below is a list of my top ten favorite free Android apps. You might be asking yourself, ‘what does this have to do with personal finance?’ Well, that’s simple! All of the apps that I will share with you in this post are free. This, in turn, should save you money so that you don’t have to buy apps that do the same thing. Here is the list:
1. Mint – This is a simple to use money management app where you can view ALL of your finances in one place.
2. Craigsnotifica – Search for deals on Craigslist and be notified instantly when your criteria is met.
3. Amazon Appstore – Like Android Market, with an added bonus of one FREE (normally paid for) app per day.
4. Soundhound – Can’t figure out the name of a song or who sings it? Just fire this app up, sing the tune, and it will magically tell you.
5. Skype – My wife and I talked while I was in Cairo for FREE. This is an unbelieveable app if you are trying to keep in touch with someone oversees.
6. Lookout Mobile – This is a security app that has multiple features: virus scan, file back up, and you can even locate your phone if you lose it by logging in online in order to activate a loud siren on your phone.
7. Dropbox – Put your important files in the cloud and be able to access not only from your phone, but virtually any device that has internet.
8. Evernote – Tired of making notes in your phone, only to sell that phone a few months later and loose every note? You don’t have to worry about that any more with this app. It stores your notes in the cloud.
9. Amazon MP3 – Store all your music in the cloud and be able to access it anywhere, including your cell phone.
10. Google Translate – Speak into your phone in your language and it will translate it into your desired language.
