I have tried to find relevant links to the apps to save people time from searching.  Hopefully the links I posted are the right ones.  Please share what apps you feel are great and worthy of mentioning.  Provide links when you can.  Paid apps are available free using alt market apps like Aptoide or Mobolism. Looking forward to see what other great apps are out there!

So many apps to choose from, I will have fun learning what each one of these does, well maybe not every single one but there certainly looks like there are a few great apps I could use here that would save me some time and be more convenient thanks for this.

true apple is so selfish when it comes to some application however if you jailbroke it then you can fully customize your ios device like change some fonts theme etc but you need to have 32gb to 64 to have a killer looking ios device i remember when i done that on my ipod 5th gen the sad part is it restored to its original setting by itself which is pretty dissapointing

I used only AirDroid when I couldn't boot up my phone because of low memory issues :D

Well here is an interesting new one.


Avast has a removal/unlock tool for the Cryptolocker Bitcoin Ransom Virus. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CryptoLocker)  Free to install and it supposedly removes the virus and unlocks the encryption from your phone or tablet.  Wonder if they have a PC version and if it really works?  I have not heard of any phone getting crypto locked.
