10 apps to make your Android experience better

Recently bought a new smartphone? Looking for some cools apps that you can run on it? Look no further. Here is a list of some nice (and free) apps that you can get for your Android smartphones. While some of these will help you do your job in a better way, a few others will help you give your phone a new look and interface.<br/><br/><b>Traffline </b><br/><br/><span class="storycentimg"><img align="left" alt="" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2014September/traffline_650_100914034128.jpg" title="" vspace="0" /></span>Stuck in a traffic jam and thinking that you should have taken a different route? Well, you should have used the Traffline. This is an app that will help you avoid traffic jams every day. Or every night. Traffline is powered by a community of users, who provide live update on traffic in their respective areas. This makes it a real-time traffic map.<br/><br/>Whenever you are stuck in traffic, you can always find a shorter and traffic-free path with the help of Traffline. You can also give your inputs about the traffic situations in your area. The app, for now, is available only in major metro cities of India as Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, and Hyderabad.<br/><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.draw.map" target="_blank"><i>Download from Play store</i></a><br/><br/> <br/><br/><b>Offtime </b><br/><br/><span class="storycentimg"><img align="left" alt="" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2014September/offtime_650_100914034128.jpg" title="" vspace="0" /></span>Offtime is an app that helps you limit your smartphone usage. It does so by keeping an eye on the apps you are using and then creating a report that helps you recognise the apps which are consuming most of your time. You can also use it to set time periods for which you don't want to be disturbed, say when you have a deadline to meet. When you are in 'busy mode', you will receive notifications only from the apps authorised by you and calls only from people who you deem important. Not just that, if you try to access some app that are not 'permitted' to disturb you, you will get a firm reminder on why you shouldn't be accessing it.<br/><br/>In short, the app is a brilliant attempt at time-management. Give it a try, we suggest.<br/><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.offtime.kit" target="_blank"><i>Download from Play store</i></a><br/><br/> <br/><br/><b>PicsArt</b><br/><br/><span class="storycentimg"><img align="left" alt="" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2014September/picsart_650_100914034128.jpg" title="" vspace="0" /></span>There are many photo editing photo apps in the Play store. But PicsArt stands apart from other apps because it doesn't just offer numerous filters. It is actually an 'art' app. You can edit photos, make collage, turn your photos into a work of art with draw tools and DrawCam.<br/><br/>The app also offers its own social network where you can share your photos and interact with other users.<br/><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.picsart.studio" target="_blank"><i>Download from Play store</i></a><br/><br/> <br/><br/><b>DU Speed Booster</b><br/><br/><span class="storycentimg"><img align="left" alt="" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2014September/du-booster_650_100914034128.jpg" title="" vspace="0" /></span>Most of the Android users have installed DU Battery Saver at one point of time or other. And most of the Android users will also agree that it is a gem of an application. DU Speed Booster is an app from the same company. But unlike the battery app, which only concerns itself with the battery, the Speed Booster aims to maintain the complete performance.<br/><br/>The DU Speed Booster comes with a feature called Privacy Advisor. The Privacy Advisor shows what services are being accessed by which applications. Yes, it will show all the permissions you have granted to all the apps, all at one place. Isn't that cool (and useful)?<br/><br/>There are other features as apps manager, RAM accelerator, game booster, trash cleaner, and speed test. The UI is simple and easy-to-use even for a first-time user. Also, it's a light app, so doesn't eat much of the memory in your phone.<br/><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dianxinos.optimizer.duplay"><i>Download from Play store</i></a><br/><br/> <br/><br/><b>doubleTwist </b><br/><br/><span class="storycentimg"><img align="left" alt="" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2014September/doubletwist_650_100914034128.jpg" title="" vspace="0" /></span>This app is more like the Swiss knife of multimedia apps. You can use it to listen to radio, play music on your device, stream podcasts, or watch videos. What makes it different from other apps is its ability to sync playlists and songs on your devices, even from iTunes with the help of AirSync.<br/><br/>Using doubleTwist, you can connect your iPhone or Android phone using AirPlay or AirSync to Bluetooth speakers. The AirPlay and AirSync are not part of the free app but you can get them through a few in-app purchases. The app has a simple user interface, which helps a user access its features with ease.<br/><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doubleTwist.androidPlayer" target="_blank"><i>Download from Play store</i></a><br/><br/> <br/><br/><b>Duolingo</b><br/><br/><span class="storycentimg"><img align="left" alt="" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2014September/duolingo_650_100914034128.jpg" title="" vspace="0" /></span>This is an app that will help you learn new languages. With Duolingo you can learn Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, and English. The application uses a unique workflow that it won't be easy for you to skip or miss lessons.<br/><br/>The app is addictive and simple, you wouldn't realise when you move to sentence formation from learning just simple words. Daily progress bar and regular skill tests keep one motivated.<br/><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duolingo" target="_blank"><i>Download from Play store</i></a><br/><br/> <br/><br/><b>MX Player</b><br/><br/><span class="storycentimg"><img align="left" alt="" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2014September/mx-player_650_100914034128.jpg" title="" vspace="0" /></span>It's one of the most complete video player available for Android phones. MX Player is one of few video player apps that support different decoders, provide hardware and software acceleration and support to more than 10 subtitle formats.<br/><br/>The app has been developed keeping ease of use in mind. With just one touch you can increase, decrease sound and change screen brightness. It also lets you navigate through a video with just a swipe of your finger. And yes, there is a kid lock too. You can use it to keep movies rated NC-17 or R to keep away from kids when they are playing with your phone. Or you can use it to keep your private videos safe from your friends and office workers. Pretty handy, no?<br/><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad" target="_blank"><i>Download from Play store</i></a><br/><br/> <br/><br/><b>Quora</b><br/><br/><span class="storycentimg"><img align="left" alt="" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2014September/quora_650_100914034128.jpg" title="" vspace="0" /></span>It would take more than a research to find a better application if you are a curious one. In a few simple words, ask questions and get answers from experts on the topic -- that is the premise (and promise) of Quora.<br/><br/>This simple, yet amazing, app is heaven for anyone with why, how, what, when in his or her mind. You can get notifications on the questions you have followed. And you can start your own discussions on any given topic. Quora is a platform for all those who love to seek.<br/><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quora.android" target="_blank"><i>Download from Play store</i></a><br/><div></div>

The gap between the international and Indian releases of the company’s premier products has shortened. Recently the company unveiled the Desire 820 in India after a few weeks of the international release. Now HTC is about to bring its latest stars to India.<br/><br/>The listings on import/export website Zauba <a href="https://www.zauba.com/import-htc-one-m8-eye-hs-code.html">shows</a> the recently launched HTC One (E8 Eye) and HTC One (M8 Eye) will be making a footfall on Indian soil soon. The company had previously quietly launched the M8 Eye in the Chinese market, but it is apparent that the models will be up for purchase for Indian HTC enthusiasts as well.<br/><br/>It is said that the E8 Eye will be based on the HTC One (E8) and will differ in terms on the camera. It will have the superior HTC Eye experience in the camera department. In the recent Double Exposure event held by the company, it unveiled the Desire Eye with a 13 MP front camera which dwarfs all other selfie focused phones. It also unveiled the Go Pro like RE camera at the event. We got to spend a day with <a href="http://www.igyaan.in/86914/htc-desire-eye-htc-camera/">the new devices,</a> and they do look impressive.<br/><br/>The E8 Eye is expected to be launched in the sub-Rs. 30000 segments and is expected to be priced around Rs. 27,000. Whereas the HTC One (M8 Eye) will be priced at around Rs. 40,000. The Eye experience will definitely enhance the feature-filled devices by HTC and if  it released during this festive season, will earn a lot more customers for HTC.<br/><div class="grid"></div><br/><div class="article__meta  article--single__meta"><br/><h4></h4><br/></div><br/></article>
