7 Fun Android Apps for Geeks




The following is a guest post by Weird Droid.

This era is for Android.

In today’s world, people like to use smartphones more than personal computers. Who would not want to use smartphones?

Smartphones are like powerful mini-computers that we can carry in our pockets. Especially if we talk about the Android platform, the users are growing in a large number every year because of  budget price and advanced features.

Android ROMs come with many useful features but are those features enough for an Android Geek? of course not!

Here we’ve filtered out some cool and fun applications who can extend or add more features to your Android smartphone and will give you the feel of a pro user.

Are you ready? Let’s see what we have in the list.

#1. Beta Maniac

Price: Free

This application is for them who love to use the Beta version of apps to get early access to the upcoming features. But isn’t it boring to look for the beta version of apps one by one by going through the Play Store?

Beta Maniac application lists all the beta versions of apps from the Google Play store. You just need to sign in to the app and there you will see a never-ending list of the beta versions of the apps that are available on the Play Store.


Beta Maniac
If you see a green tick mark on an app, then it means you are already using the beta version of that app. But if you see a blue tick mark on an app, then it means the beta version of that app is available on the Play Store.

Click on the beta version to install it. You can also scan for a new beta version of any application authorized by the Play Store using the Beta Maniac application.

#2. Typewise Keyboard

Price: Free/Pro

Who doesn’t like to use different gesture control ideas? Most people hide there navigation bar and make their smartphones full screen just to use the gesture feature. Well, only those who use the latest models of Android smartphones.

It is okay to use gestures for navigation or to take a screenshot but if it comes to gesture typing, not so many people are interested to use this feature. Google keyboard already comes with the gesture typing feature but we bet you most people don’t use it.


Typewise Keyboard

But Typewise Keyboard is different. If you use this keyboard only for once you will fell in love with gesture typing.

There are many gestures in this keyboard and it was not easy for us to find out all the gestures but we’ve managed to figure out that if you swipe it horizontally to the left it will delete the sentence or word and if you swipe it horizontally again to the right, it will restore the deleted sentence.

Figure out the features yourselves!
