Productivity/Organization
Bump
Free
Bump lets two users tap their phones together to immediately share photos, contacts, and apps. Amazingly, it works cross-platform between iOS and Android users as well.
Box
Box is a more secure version of Dropbox. Like the latter, Box lets you sync and store your files "in the cloud" and access them from another Internet-connected device or PC. Box also encrypts your stored files and requires a passcode for when the app times out. New users qualify for a 50MB promotion.
Catch Notes
Free
Catch is a free cloud-based service that lets you save notes of all kinds--audio memos, typed notes, and photos. It’s similar to Evernote, and its well customized for Android phones, so if Evernote isn’t quite your speed but you’re looking for something similar, Catch is worth a try.
Documents ToGo Full Version Key
$14.99-$29.99
Business users and tech-savvy professors (as well as serious students) need a document editing and creation application suite for their mobile devices, and Documents ToGo is the one worth buying if you have an Android phone. You can try the free "lite" version Documents To Go 3.0 Main App first, which lets you view many of the file formats you'll need (.doc,. docx,. xls,. xlsx,. ppt,. pptx.) but not edit them.
Dropbox
Free
If your files live all over the place—your office computer, home desktop, laptop—having a dependable syncing program is a must. Dropbox, the service that lets you store your files in the cloud and access them from anywhere you have a signal, fills that role nicely with an Android app. Dropbox updated its Android app to 2.0 in December, streamlining the interface and adding numerous features for an even slicker experience. College kids can receive 500MB for free.
Evernote
free; $45 per year for optional Premium subscription
If you weren't an Evernote early adopter, the freemium note-taking and organization app that synchs all your files to a cloud service, there's no shame in being late to the party. On an Android phone, Evernote works smoothly, looks great, and most importantly, integrates with dozens of other apps and services.
LastPass Password Mgr Premium*
$1 per month
LastPass manages and fills in your usernames and passwords for you automatically. You'll only have to remember one password ever again: the one to get into LastPass, so make it strong. Another advantage of using a password manager is it ensures you use a different password for all the sites you visit, as recycling passwords leaves you prone to identity theft and other online crimes.
Pageonce Free or $4.99 for gold
If you're looking for a more robust, fresh alternative to Mint.com, check out this true mobile wallet from a startup in Palo Alto. Pageonce securely stores all your cards, reminds you of when to pay bills, and even supports bill payments for $0.30 per transaction. If money management stresses you out, Pageonce makes it all so much easier.
Task List Pro - Todo List - Pro
$1.99
Task List Pro is a customizable to-do list that comes with some interesting and deep customization options. For example, you can program the app’s input gestures, like left-right swipe, to be tied to whatever function you want. The two-buck app comes with the ability to email all your tasks as a CSV file.—Next: Best Apps 46-52: Communication >
