Android Applications for Indian Users

Advertisements

One of the first activities after buying a new Android phone or tablet is downloading applications on the device. On one hand, there are generic apps like Facebook for Android, or Twitter or music players or games that work for everyone across locations, but then there are service based apps or location based apps that are useful only for select countries or regions. In this guide, we will list some of the best applications that will be useful for Indian Android users and are not generic like Facebook or Pulse or Feedly.

It is possible that we might have missed a few apps that you might be aware of; in that case please list those apps with the market links in the comments section.

Nice coverage of Indian Apps.

There is an app which maintains list of regional apps (country, city, community etc) which might be of interests people belonging to that location. Try “Android India”. worth a try.

I have purchased HTC desire. Copied movie HD files from PC to mobile. Unable to run movies like avi, mp4 etc. Do I need to convert this into lower resolution. Please advise? If HD movies run on HTC desire, please guide for the player instead. Require your comments on this?

Try mx video player available for free in the market.install codecs for the same if needed.you would be able to play most of major formats without any problems.

Really nice collection of great apps for my Android phone.
I really like the CricketNext Live for Android to get all my cricket updates.
Also checked Androidos.in app, its also very cool.

Worth a look at PlanHound – a good utility app for all mobile users. It measures your usage automatically and suggests the right plan or topup right on the phone, instantly. And for free.

Missed another great app… Lets you accumulate reward points each time you just visit shops while shopping (just visiting shops is enough 😉 ) and redeem them with cool gifts.. Freely available at
