My Favorite Android Apps

This is my first blog on Android apps; so I should tell you why I have decided to blog on this and why you should read this blog to know more about Android Apps. So, one of the things that I don't forget to do any day is check for latest android apps. And that makes me an Android evangelist. I spend hours installing, using, and looking for new Android apps. And since before downloading an app, I check its rating and user comments, I have a collection of cool Android Apps on my Android. And I love to tell people why they should be using an app. So, trust me you will be able to make most of your Android by reading this blog. You may not believe this but one of my colleagues decided to switch to a basic Nokia phone because she was not happy with the Android Keyboard. I was flabbergasted by her comparison of Android with a basic Nokia phone and I am here to share some really cool apps with you. To solve the problem of all those Android users that are not happy with their Keyboard, I am going to write about a few Android Keyboard Apps.

Top Free Android Keyboard Apps : The app of the day is Swift Keyboard

Recently, some keyboards have been in news for amazing features and they are Swype and SlideIt, which are similar in use and they are really cool keyboard apps. However, Swype has resolution issues on Nexus and I would like to see it fixed. In spite of them being the most innovative Keyboard apps, they are not my first preference. I would like to see them offering the gesture writing feature for messages and emails and that would make these apps the most sought after ones. Until then, I recommend using Swift Keyboard, which is indeed swifter than the Android default keyboard app and it reads your mind and throws suggestions even when you haven't tapped a letter. No keyboard beats Swift in its guessing game. It's amazing and is available for free in the Android Market. Make your life easy with Swift until we have a better Keyboard app available in the market. No doubt, this lacks a good skin and many other features that Swype and SlideIt offer, but for Free it's a very good bargain. Go for it!
