I’m sure there are countless apps out there that are incredibly cool, interesting, or useful, but just haven’t hit the mainstream yet. Maybe it’s a productivity tool that’s boosted your efficiency, a unique game that’s kept you entertained for hours, or a niche app that’s catered perfectly to one of your hobbies or interests.

What are some Android hidden gem apps that you’ve used a bunch or think it’s really cool/interesting/useful?

Please share your recommendations, and if possible, a brief description of what the app does and why you find it so valuable.

Looking forward to uncovering some hidden treasures in the Android app world. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

    X-plore file manager. I’ve been using it since UIQ days.

    If you are not streaming music, but play your local library - PowerAmp.

    Accubattery

            Winamp. Everybody line up so I can just run down the row while holding my fist at face hight.

        blackplayer used to be my favorite but it’s not as actively developed as it once was.

      X-Plore is amazing. Especially the FTP server is so useful, there simply is no easier way of moving files between devices.

      And they provide a native SmartTV app you can control with the remote, it’s excellent.

      I feel like poweramp has a mind of its own on whether or not it wants to actually shuffle your music. Whenever I put my music on shuffle, it’ll shuffle the songs, but then it’ll just play an entire album in order.

        There are separate options for shuffling songs and categories (albums, artists, folders, genre, etc) and you can toggle them independently of each other.

      I’ve been using Ghost Commander, but I might give that a whirl
