Free
What more can we say about this essential app that should be on the home screen of every Android user?
Google Drive gets better with each iteration - its killer feature right now is offline access, which lets you edit Google documents without an Internet connection.
We are just waiting for Google to include a word count feature in future updates.
Google Keep
Free
This is Google's answer to Evernote. While rudimentary, the app has all you need to take notes, which can be augmented with images snapped from your phone camera and voice annotations.
You can even create to-do lists, giving the single-purpose app Do It Tomorrow, a run for its money. All notes are housed on Google's cloud so you can be sure that your notes are kept safe when you switch devices.
OfficeSuite Pro 7
$18.60
Power users should look to OfficeSuite Pro, a nearly complete Office productivity suite for mobile devices.
While Google Drive has enough features for you to stay productive on the road, OfficeSuite Pro offers more advanced tools, such as text highlighting, a built-in spell checker and support for tables, images and footnotes.
Unlike Google Drive, this lets you edit presentation slides too.
XE Currency
Free
A handy app to have on a holiday or business trip, this lets you perform conversions between two currencies. You can store up to 10 currencies and set the base currency based on your destination.
The app also uses the phone's accelerometer to allow you to reset the conversion amount to one unit of the base currency by simply shaking the phone.
Forex traders can also use the app to track a currency's performance against others over time.
Evernote
Free
As one of the market leaders for note-taking apps, Evernote continues to raise the bar with its Android app. It was updated recently to let you pack multiple photos into a single note.
The revamped app now includes a document scanner. An onscreen rectangle helps you to align the camera with the document to be scanned, assuring you of picture-perfect scans on the go.
Camcard
Free
This nifty app takes only a couple of seconds to file a new name card into your address book.
After capturing a card image, the app automatically trims and enhances the image before scanning the contact information using optical character recognition, or OCR, technology.
Camcard lets you save notes and capture both sides of a card in a single record. Contacts can be saved on the phone or exported to Google.
AndroZip
Free
This file manager and compression app lets you manage all files across directories on an Android device. Fast and smooth, it can even load thumbnails of photos taken with a phone camera.
As its name suggests, AndroZip will also zip and unzip files, a handy tool for road warriors who need to send multiple files to co-workers and clients from a mobile device.
Record My Call
Free
If you have always wanted to record a phone call on your Android device, this is the app for you.
The app runs in the background and starts recording the moment you initiate or pick up a call. The only caveat is that you have to switch on the speakerphone mode on your device during a call to record the voice of the other party. All recordings are saved as MP3 files.
Astrid
Free
Create tasks and task lists with Astrid and share them with friends, and be notified when the tasks are completed. The app can be customised with various colour themes, and users can also import tasks from Google Task.
As all tasks are hosted on the cloud, you can still access your task lists through a Web browser on Astrid's website at astrid.com.
