The Android launcher is attractive but very basic in design and function, and LauncherPro takes any
Android phone to the next level.
I may be hard on Google for the mess that it has created with Android Honeycomb tablets, but on the
smartphone front Android is still going strong. That is with good reason, Android phones are as good as
anything on the market, and made even better with the right apps installed. No matter if you are a fan of
HTC Sense phones with its attractive UI, Samsung TouchWiz phones, or stock Android phones, there are
five apps that should be installed on every Android phone to make them better.
LauncherPro.
The Android launcher is attractive but very basic in design and function, and LauncherPro takes any
Android phone to the next level. This alternative launcher adds a customizable dock bar for launching apps,
but that is only a fraction of the functionality it brings to the home screen. Speaking of home screens,
LauncherPro brings a totally revamped home screen environment, with a new app drawer for launching
apps included. The app also makes a suite of home screen widgets available that can be added as desired to
install a raft of new functionality on the home screens as desired. These widgets can be customized to the
heart’s desire, and are skinnable to make them look just right. The Gmail widget alone is worth the price of
LauncherPro. There are other alternative launchers but none match LauncherPro for features. You must
have the Pro version to unlock all the features including the widgets. $3.49.
Beautiful Widgets.
The strength of Android is the ability to make the interface very personal, and Beautiful Widgets is the
daddy of them all. The app installs a bunch of home screen widgets of varying sizes that make it a breeze to
tailor the look and feel of the screens to the user’s personal taste. The widgets include HTC Sense
look-alikes for those who like the clock and weather screens on those devices, but that’s just for starters.
There are hundreds of clock, weather and battery meter skins for download within Beautiful Widgets that
can make the phone screen look any way you want. The various widgets can be combined in any number of
ways to fit your style. There is even a live wallpaper that changes the screen background to match the time
of day and local weather conditions. €1.99.
Amazon MP3.
This free app has morphed from a simple way to get free music on Android phones into a full-fledged
cloud music playing system. The free MP3 of the day is still there, along with easy access to cheap album
deals in the Amazon music store, but with the launch of the Cloud Drive the Amazon MP3 app has evolved
into a must-have for Android phone owners. Once you upload your music library to the Amazon Cloud,
streaming it to any Android device (and computer) is a simple tap on the screen. Purchased (and free) music
is automatically put into your Cloud Drive for instant access on the phone. The app also plays music store
locally on the phone for those not into the whole cloud thing. Free.
Dolphin Browser HD.
The web browsers installed on Android phones are pretty good, but they don’t hold a candle to the Dolphin

Browser HD. This browser is as fast as can be for rendering web pages in perfect form, and has a unique
touch system for improved web browsing. The bookmark system is as sophisticated as that on any desktop
browser, yet is as easy to operate as tapping on the screen. Dolphin also has a plug-in system that adds tons
of functionality to the browser as desired. There is a configurable gesture system in Dolphin that lets you
trigger actions by drawing on the screen with a fingertip, a tremendously useful feature. There is a free
version that is ad-supported in the settings menus, or a $4.99 version without ads.
Multicon Widget.
Phone screens can only hold so much information due to the small size, and sometimes you need to put
more icons for apps than will fit. The free Multicon widget lets you put up to 4 app icons in the space
normally occupied by one, which greatly extends the screen real estate. The four icon slots are not restricted
to apps, you can put shortcuts for actions and special functions like Wi-Fi toggle in the slots. This is the
most useful widget for a free app.
These five Android apps add incredible value to the smartphone, but they are not the only good apps in the
Android Market. What are your must-have apps for Android?
