9 of the best apps you can find exclusively on Android

Most modern apps are developed for the two big mobile operating systems (OS): Google's Android and Apple's iOS.Android is the more flexible OS ofthe two, which means that it can be highly customisable with apps that are exclusive to it.Some of them actually allow you to change how the very system works, in a way.There are apps like Link Bubble and its unique browsing experience, for instance, or Action Launcher 3's re-imagination of a home screen.However, choice and flexibility also mean that it can be easy to get lost inside the hundreds of apps present in the Play Store.Here's a selection of nine useful appsthat can help you make the most of your Android device.1. Action Launcher 3 ' Customise the look and feel of your home screenAction 3 is one of many Android "launchers"home screen replacements that allow you to customise the look and feel of your device's main page.What you in the screenshot aboveis the "Quickbar," which allows you to look for things on Google as well as access apps or actions quickly with the icons you see at the top right.I have a mic to activate Voice Search, a shortcut to the Play Store, and the three-dot menu button to open Action 3's menu.One of Action's features is its vertical, alphabetically sorted app drawerYou're likely to be used to a more traditional app drawer where apps are all inside of a grid within pages, but developer Chris Lacy has come up with an innovative idea.Action 3 does offer the chance to use a traditional drawer (accessible with a swipe up from the bottom), but its default one shows apps vertically in alphabetical order.You can slide your fingers on the letters to blaze through apps faster.Action 3 also offers a clever way to make use of widgets and foldersYou may have noticed that in the previous screenshots, the fifth app in my dock was Google Chrome. And you'd be right! Tapping on it opens the browser.However, Action 3 offers the chance to create "Covers" that hide other apps beneath one.They're essentially folders, but theyallow you to avoid the ugly look of traditional folder stack or nests. Tap to open the first app of the folder and swipe up to actually open the folder hidden underneath it.You can also activate small visual indicators that remind you of which apps hide folders.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
