i use a basic android phone m8 with low processor speed and i tried quickPic and I can confirm that JustPictures was very fast in loading pics. even with my low end phone, there was no loading time...
On the other hand QuickPic had some 1 second loading time

Befunnky was not compatible to my phone

Re: Must have/favourite Android apps!!

can we have the first page like this ...?

No. Unless you volunteer to categorize apps in proper categories and ready to take some notes on each of them.

One problem is unlike the list of games in that thread, the number of the Android apps is TOO BIG. But if you willing to make a comprehensive list out of the list mentioned in this thread, we can work on to put them in the first thread.

 

[pramudit]

Re: Must have/favourite Android apps!!

Re: Must have/favourite Android apps!!
