5 less known Android apps you should be using

Android is a widely used Operating System. As of Q1 2017, over 85% of the smartphones spotted in the wild run on Android OS. So its no surprise that more and more developers are joining the App development forces to capitalize on this huge user base. There are over 3 million apps on the Play Store, and growing as we speak. Its thus natural to not know about some awesome apps that you should be using, but you do not know about due to the sheer size of the Play Store. Today, I bring to you 5 such apps that not a lot of people know about. You can download these apps, by clicking on the "Get it on Google Play icon".



Google Opinion Rewards


How many times it has happened that you were browsing the Play Store, and you found an app/game that you really liked, and wanted to download but couldn't because it was a paid app? I assume a LOT of times. Because, lets face it some of the best apps in the world demand money. This is where Google Opinion Rewards comes in.
What's it about? Opinion Rewards lets you earn Google Play credit with which you can BUY apps on the Play Store. All you need to do is, answer a survey comprised of 4-5 questions and boom, you will be rewarded with some credits. Now, don't expect to earn 100s of Rs. by answering just one or two surveys. Typically each survey pays you Rs. 8-10, but over time it accumulates to help you buy that dream app of yours! Easy, isn't it?






Knappily


If you're the curious kind, whose favourite words are What, Why, When, How? then this app is for you. No, seriously!
What's it about? Knappily is a news and feature app that provides you with the Whens, the Whats, the Whys and the Hows of the news appearing in your timeline and your TV. Its an outstanding way to educate yourself with the exact context, and history surrounding the current affairs of the country. Try it for a few days, and take my word, you'll have more knowledge than your friends in the next group discussions you guys have.




Tempmail


Consider this, how many times have you come across a site that won't let you access its content without signing up with your email? And you know, once you sign up for it, you suddenly receive tons of spam mails because the site sells user data. This is where tempmail comes in.
What's it about? Tempmail provides you with a temporary email id that you can use to sign up for sites, and hence, protect yourself from spam, phishing and bots and in the process keeping your inbox clean. This has quickly become my favourite app, and I wish I had found it earlier. My gmail wouldn't be this cluttered today.



Ike: To-Do List



The name might remind you of some Japanese item, but this app is a lot useful than it sounds. Let's face it, not all of us are good with time and task management. I am a huge procrastinator, putting off my work until there's a knife besides my neck. Enter: Ike.
What's it about? Ike is a to-do list app, that helps you organize your upcoming tasks into 4 categories: Important & urgent, Important & Not urgent, Not important but urgent, Not important and not urgent! This helps your prioritize your tasks a lot easily, and probably help you get out of that comfy little bed of yours.





PhotoMath


Maths is a subject that gives every student nightmares. I can't tell you the number of times I used to get stuck at one problem sum, that I just couldn't get right, and in the process, wasting my time. PhotoMath is a perfect solution for students to learn and solve maths problems.
What's it about? Photomath uses your camera to solve all your math related problems. Simply point your camera at a math problem, and boom, the app will show you the result with detailed step-by-step instructions! Who says magic doesn't exist?
