About this ebook

With over 600,000 apps available for Android devices, hunting down and evaluating every app that might be worthwhile can be a real challenge. Fortunately, this book saves you the trouble. We've compiled a list of the best made, best looking, and most useful Nexus 7 apps across twelve categories:
- Productivity

- Reading

- Social

- Graphics

- Audio

- Video

- Local

- Sports

- Utilities

- Health

- Games

- and a final category for apps we wanted to include, but which didn't fit into any of the other categories. In this book, our focus is on recommending nothing but the best; we think it will be a valuable addition to any Nexus 7 ebook library.

Ratings and reviews

If you're a new android user, you may find this book useful, but most of this information can be found for free by using a couple searches on the internet, like "Best Android Apps". If you've been using android for awhile and have already found many useful apps on your own, you may not find much new in this collection. The "book" has 127 pages, but there's a lot of white space. Another disappointment is that the book does not emphasis apps designed for tablets.

I have a Nexus 10 but still find this guide very useful. The information is presented in a simple user-friendly outline form. I am a compete newbie when it comes to navigating this particular technology. Maybe to more experienced users this book covers what may be found with a "simple" Google search. For a Slowsky like me however, this guide gives a place to start by listing apps used frequently. I'm especially excited to try the app that tells which constellation I am looking at when I point my Nexus at the night sky.

Nothing more then a best app list you can get on line for free.
