7 Google Applications You Should Have On Your Android Device by swisscarter(m): 12:13pm On Jan 25, 2017
There are wide varieties of applications all around the world, but Google applications tend to stand out due to the simplicity of their material design, user friendly interface, uniqueness and resourcefulness.

Without wasting your time, here are the applications!

Google App:

The Google app is one of the most resourceful applications by Google. With this app you can get every information you need on the go, from weather forecast, traffic informations, latest news based on your interests, sports and so much more. The Google app also features a hands free search option using voice prompt via Google assistant which make things easier as you can search or request actions to be taken; actions like turn on device flashlight, turn on Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, play music. One good aspect of this voice feature is that they can be done offline (without cellular data).

The voice search (Google assistant) can be activated by using the OK Google keyword from any screen. Any questions asked, the Google app would speak the answer aloud. Feeds can also be personalized based on your interests and will be displayed just by so swiping to the right when the Google app is integrated with the Google now launcher or pixel launcher.

Keep:

Google keep is another resourceful application from Google. It can be used to add notes, tasks list, and also photos. Keep also record voice memo and after recording, it automatically transcribes it. Organization is one of the key features of this application as you can add labels and colors to each memo/notes in order to easily find a particular thing you saved.

Synchronization is another key feature of Google keep as every note or memo you add is synced across all your devices. Location based reminders can also be set for lists; like going to a supermarket, Google keep brings up the list upon arriving to the location.

Google Photos:

Google photos is a gallery app by Google with a whole bunch of cool features. Google photos offers unlimited cloud storage which can help backup your photos instantly to the cloud as soon as they are taken and you can actually delete the from your device storage in case of low storage issues.

Google Chrome:

Google chrome! Wow! Where do I begin from?? This browser is simply the best for me! And I hope for you too cause it carries tons of amazing features. Google chrome saves data as it has an inbuilt data saver feature that saves data up to 50% and it also saves time by bringing up searches instantly as you type and allows you to access previously loaded pages without much load time.

Just like the Google app, you could also use the Google voice feature to search on the go without typing. Google chrome allows you to download pages so they can be viewed offline. Synchronization as it as always been allows you to view open tabs, recent searches and bookmarks from various devices seemlessly. Google chrome also supports the translate feature to translate a web page from one language to another. So what are you waiting for? Go get your chrome.

Google Drive:

Google drive is a free online storage platform by Google. Which offers free 15GB of storage as soon as you create a new Google account. Files saved on Google drive can be easily accessed both online and offline. Privacy is one of the main concerns of every user, with Google drive privacy isn't an issue as you can set who can view, comment and edit files stored in Google drive.

Google drive uses you device camera as a scanner to scan hard copy documents and automatically upload them. Google drive can access photos from Google photos and also save them.

Google Allo:

Google Allo is a smart messaging app by Google in the sense that allo has a smart reply feature that learns with time and can reply or respond to text messages and photos to suite your style. Google Allo also utilises the new Google assistant feature which can be activated in conversations by the keyword @google.

Security is not really a problem here as messages are secured with end to end encryption. Notifications can be made private as Allo features incognito mode found in most browsers.
