out the newly released native android app with much improved speeds and easier
navigation. 
<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.plus" target="_blank">Google+</a> – Google+ is one of the best
looking and most fluid social networking apps currently available in the
market. If you haven’t yet joined the growing social network, this app is a
good excuse to jump in with both feet. 
<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jv.falcon.pro" target="_blank">Falcon Pro</a> / <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.levelup.touiteur" target="_blank">Plume</a> – Twitter has a pretty decent native
application, but if you’re looking for something with a little more eye candy,
then try out either Falcon Pro or Plume. Both are very well designed and fully
functional. Also check out the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jv.falcon" target="_blank">Falcon widget</a> (a separate app) for some beautiful
home screen Twitter action.

are the best and most beautiful photo sharing apps out there. 
<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.niksoftware.snapseed" target="_blank">Snapseed</a> – Speaking of photos, Snapseed
(recently acquired by Google) is a beautiful and full featured photo-editing
software. You’ll be hard pressed to find anything more robust then Snapseed
when it comes to editing capabilities. 
<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pinterest" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> – If you’re a girl (or a man who

<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey" target="_blank">SwiftKey 3</a> –  There is nothing more
productive than speeding up your typing. SwiftKey does accurately that by

over time. Not only does it work great, but it looks great as well, with
multiple themes.

love Wunderlist and Any.do. Check out both of them, but we personally like
Wunderlist because they have apps and webapps across all devices and platforms.

looks great! 
<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zenfield.files.adfree" target="_blank">Zenfield File Manager</a> / <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.metago.astro&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5tZXRhZ28uYXN0cm8iXQ.." target="_blank">Astro File Manager</a>- There are many great
looking File Manager apps on the market, but Zenfield and Astro look most like
a “stock Android” app, which is why they made our list.
