Top 7 apps for Android
Google Play Store has over 6,00,000 apps, and it only gets tougher to whittle it down to the best ones. Despite this, we have found a few that are worth considering, particularly for Android users who are looking for ways to up their productivity game. So, if you are looking for an app that can help you boost your productivity or acquire a new skill, then these are the best apps to consider.
1. Microsoft Power BI

Microsoft Power BI, for its power-focused users, is a fun and easy way to analyze data. It is a visualisation and analytics tool for business intelligence, and it has some very neat features to offer. For example, it lets you explore and visualize business intelligence data, and show visualizations of your data as soon as you create it. And while you're at it, it will also help you write it up.
This is one of the biggest (though not the most visually pleasing) BI solutions in the market, and you can get started with it for free.
2. Camtasia

Camtasia (sometimes stylized as Camtasia) is perhaps the only video editing app in the world that's more powerful than its own app. This app supports desktop computers and mobile devices alike, and comes with a robust feature set.
It comes with a video recorder, and allows you to track multiple takes, record in customisable formats, and even let you control playback and insert in subtitles. In addition to all this, it also offers features like spatial audio, which helps in recording rich sound, and auto-enhance. The best part? It also offers a wide range of options, for a good user experience. It's a lot of fun, and a really good app if you're looking to make those videos stand out in the crowd.
3. RescueTime

The RescueTime app is known for two things: It gives you your online time, and even enables you to set a timeframe for completing tasks, and it tracks it as well. While you do so, it offers insights into your habits to help you improve your efficiency.
A lot of other apps do the same, but RescueTime gives you the user experience of a physical clock, and helps you track how long you are spending on various applications. If you are doing the job of a project manager or an admin, it can be invaluable.
4. Wunderlist

What's more productive than completing items on your to-do list? Well, there are a number of apps to help you do that, and Wunderlist is one of them. It provides a simple to-do list, so that you can quickly create lists, and can track the completion of each of them.
Unlike many of the other to-do list apps, Wunderlist is also usable on mobile devices. You can also use it as a mobile to-do list, with the power of the web accessible from your device. The app offers a number of features, from fast tracking and notes, to using voice memos to jot down a task. The icing on the cake is that you can integrate Google Calendar with the app, in order to sync tasks.
5. Google Keep

This is one of the easiest apps to use—and the best place to start if you are looking to make to-do lists. Unlike other apps that have a variety of applets to get you started, and endless widgets to let you create your list, Google Keep is a simple task list application.
Google Keep also comes with a slew of features, such as attaching photos to each task, and letting you tag each list with markers such as 'read', 'done', 'future', 'erased' and more. The app, if you are looking for something that's dead simple and designed for its primary purpose, is what you should consider.
6. Google Tasks

Another very simple to-do list app, Google Tasks allows you to do things with just a few swipes. Unlike other apps, Tasks puts all your to-do tasks in one place. You can quickly add a task, edit it, and place it on your to-do list.
This app also gives you to-do lists, which is a bit advanced.
7. Any.do

Another popular app, Any.do allows you to easily create lists to keep track of your daily tasks, and create reminders as well. You can set reminders for each task, or for the whole to-do list at a specific time, which are automatically scheduled.
The other thing that makes it a really good option is that it also integrates with Gmail. You can do things like open emails or pin important tasks in your inbox, at the time you are meant to open them. You can also create reminders by dragging and dropping icons to the taskbar.
