Among the many useful applications that can be found by reading specialized magazines and blogs such as Navigaweb.net, there are always some that are of vital importance and general utility for almost every user. Speaking of Android apps, I want to share here the list of that dozen of applications that I really recommend to always install, to all friends and those who want to have advice, on smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy, Huawei P8, P9 and P10, Nexus, OnePlus and any other with Android system. These are, of course, quite popular applications, many of which are probably already installed on many people's phones, but which are always worth recommending for all those less informed people, who are the majority. The basic applications of the phones are obviously neglected, such as Whatsapp, Facebook, Google Maps, Youtube, which are always present.

1) Nova Launcher
Although this application offers the best by paying the Nova Launcher Prime version, it can still be used almost completely for free.
It is simply the best launcher for Android, better than the one pre-installed in any other smartphone whether Samsung, Huawei or others, to enrich the phone with functions, make it more modern and more customizable.
2) GBoard
Gboard is the name of the Google keyboard, truly the most complete to write on the phone, capable of adapting to specific needs as well.
In another article, all the tricks to use GBoard at its best.
3) Pushbullet
This is the app that puts the PC in communication with the phone in order to receive notifications that arrive on the Android smartphone on the computer.
Pushbullet may not be really useful for anyone, but it is really recommended and recommended for anyone who works on the PC every day.
In another article, the guide to receiving Android notifications on your PC in real time. Pushbullet is also very convenient for transferring files from phone to PC quickly.
4) Teamviewer or Chrome Remote Desktop .
These two applications are equivalent and it is worth prefering Chrome remote desktop if you use Chrome on PC as the default browser and if you do not have particularly advanced needs, otherwise better Teamviewer which is a more powerful program. The purpose of these apps is to connect remotely to the PC, in order to control it remotely wherever we are.
5) Macrodroid
This is the application that I always recommend to automate Android and make it more energy efficient.
Alternatively, IFTTT for Android can be recommended, simpler even if with different functions.
6) Google Keep
Keep is a fundamental app because it allows you to have a notepad that synchronizes safely so you can review what is written / drawn / photographed even on a PC or other smartphone.
7) Google Photos
In just two years from its first release, this has become a fundamental basic app for every phone not only with Android system.
I always recommend installing this application to activate unlimited photo backup, which forever solves the problem of transferring photos taken on a computer and eliminates the risk of losing photos if the phone breaks or is lost.
Google Photos is also a powerful photo and video editor, to edit and improve your shots and recordings in a personalized, easy and professional way.
8) Google Drive
Also this Google application is super recommended not only because it offers a free cloud space in which to store files and documents, but also because it integrates with Google Keep and Gmail and above all because it includes the functions to open and read Office documents (Word, Excel and Powerpoint ) as well as PDFs.
9) Truecaller
This application has become fundamental for all Italians today, given that it provides a barrier and a brake on the commercial calls that haunt us every day.
In addition to automatically blocking calls from call center numbers, Truecaller is also the best app for recognizing unknown numbers.
10) Total Commander
This is the app I recommend today to manage Android files in order to navigate folders as you would on Windows.
Total Commander is free, without limitations, light and also capable of being enhanced through plugins.
11) Waze
Even if all Android smartphones have already installed the Gogoel Maps app that works very well as a satellite navigator, Waze is still recommended and recommended for use in times when traffic seems congested.
As already written, with the Waze app in the car you always arrive first even in traffic.
12) Google Datally
Always Google is another very important application that allows you to save bandwidth and data traffic in every internet connection.
In this way, you save internet data on a limited level and also when you connect from abroad.
13) Google Authenticator
This application is one of the most important ever, because it allows you to use two-factor authentication on sites like Google, Facebook and Microsoft, which is one of the essential security measures of Android.
14) Google Files Go, the best app to free up space and manage internal memory.
