 Best Android Apps 2021: The Ultimate Guide

(Pocket-lint) - The Google Play Store has nearly three million apps for you to choose from. With so many apps, browsing the store can get overwhelming, and a few poor choices in what to download can cause you to stick out in general.

But, at Pocket-lint, we've been using the Google Play Store faithfully since its launch (remember "Android Market"?) Ten years ago. So we've put our expertise to the test and put together this comprehensive guide, to help you find the best that the Play Store has to offer. We've organized everything by category, so it should be easy to find exactly what you want.
