Opera should be no 2 and Xender on 5. Only if you know how useful it is. In absence of USB Cord i use it to transfer to PC with a speed of light. More importantly Xender is used by almost 90% Android users, while 10% goes to FlashShare and others.


Queenfav you are right about Mobdro.


And OP you forgot Apus Launcher, Vidmate.
