Here is a list of the best Android tools and utility apps to help you do more things.
1. Find My Phone
Find My Device is probably one of the most valuable Android tools and it's completely free. This app lets you ping the location of your device in the event that it becomes lost or stolen. It's compatible with phones, tablets, and even Wear OS smartwatches. You can also lock your device, erase it, and show a message on your device to plead to the finder to return it. It's a free service by Google and that makes it so nice.
2. CamScnanner
CamScanner is probably the best document scanner app on mobile. You use the app to scan documents into your phone and convert them to PDF format. You then send that document through email, save it to your device, and you can even fax it for a nominal fee. It seems to hit all the check boxes you’d want in an app like this. You can use most of the features for free or you can pay for a subscription if you intend on using it very heavily.
3. LastPass
Humans are bad at creating passwords, and we're bad at remembering things. Thankfully, there are password managers like LastPass. A password manager generates a unique, complex password for each site or app that requires one. When you need to log in, LastPass fills in the correct information for you. LastPass also securely stores your personal information so you can quickly fill out those tedious forms when you're signing up for a service. It includes a way to safely share passwords with other people, even after you've departed this mortal realm. A new pricing structure lets you create an account and sync passwords between all your devices—mobile or otherwise—for free.
4. Smart Tools
The most important application for everyday utilization is Smart Tools and it is at number two in our list of top 10 utility apps for Android users. Smart Tools application gives more than 40 DIY metering tools that can be extremely valuable, similar to a ruler, bubble level, auto speed screen, sound meter, Vibrometer, metal identifier, standardized identification/QR code scanner and that is recently the surface of it. Every one of the scales can be adjusted and it supports both metric and supreme unit formats. The application is free, yet accompanies the promotional ads. Note that a portion of the devices won’t work if your device doesn’t have supporting sensors.
5. Google Translate
Google Translate is awesome and one of the best utility app for Android to fall under this category. Simply type and Translate between 103+ languages from all over the world. You can also use the instant camera option to take pictures of text for higher-quality translations.
