4. Package Disabler Pro (Samsung)
Although this app is only available for Samsung users I think that every single one of them should have it installed.
It’s a little known fact that only users who rooted their phone can control what apps will be running in the background and there are a lot of them that are just choking your phone to death. With this app you will be in full control without having to root your phone.

8. Shazam
I think that there is no app that I used more than this one. Shazam is just amazing and works like a charm every time!
This app is used to discover music. If you hear a song that you like but don’t know the name of it, just turn on Shazam, let it listen to the song for a bit and bam you will have the artist and song name in no time!

9. Night Screen
While browsing at night it would be healthier to have your screen light dimmed. Sometimes though the default minimum is just not low enough.
Night screen main goal is to reduce the brightness of your screen lower than you can achieve with the default settings. This application applies an overlay filter that acts as a dimmer to darken the screen. It helps to avoid headache and eye pain in a dark environment or at night.

10. Build In Flashlight
Now this last one is an Easter egg that you probably didn’t know of. Yes, you can find a flashlight in the app store but how about turning a the flash light on only by voice control? On Android devices all you need to do is to use some phrases from the Harry Potter movie. Once you say “ok Google” and the phone starts listening follow up with “lumos” to turn it on. The word “Nox” turns it off.
And that’s it! I hope that you enjoyed the list and discovered some new and useful apps. If asa please leave your suggestions in the comments below!
