10 Kick-Ass Places to Find the Best Android Apps

The Android phones are sleek devices, but let’s be honest. What really makes a smartphone sexy is the apps. The Android Market is getting deep! To help you find the best apps and find some outstanding reviews, today’s post will give you 10 different places to use to find some great apps you probably didn’t even know existed. Enjoy!

Android Zoom is what the Android Market should be on a desktop, rather than just a showcase. You can view the top 50 downloaded and top 50 viewed apps today, in the last 7 days or the last 30 days. Android Zoom doesn’t stop there. You can see the top climbers and fallers from the charts. Truly a valuable resource when digging for the best Android Apps.

Android Market is the official Android Market showcase, highlighting the featured and top free and paid apps from the Android Market. It is not all inclusive, but can give you a good idea which apps are the most popular.

AppVee Android Apps provides both written and video reviews of various Android apps. Built into their rating system is the site rating and user rating, using a 5 star approach. Also graded by stars is categories such as control, fun, graphics, playability and design.

Android-Apps.com is a site that is reliant on user ratings. Using a rating system of 10 stars, Android-Apps.com lets you sort by category and I like having the ability to search by recently added, most popular, best rated and most ratings. One thing that is a bit confusing though is when you rate an app, there is a 10 star rating and a thumbs up/thumbs down. I believe the 10 stars are providing the ability to vote for the post, while the thumbs up/thumbs down is how the ratings are calculated since the ratings seem to be using a 5-star system.

Best Android Apps Review has one of my favorite designs and provides posts under categories app news, top rated apps, top rated games, top rated widgets and even tutorials. The reviewers give their overall rating and provide their thoughts on both the pros and cons.

Androlib provides all the Android Apps with reviews by users and descriptions that look to be from the Android App Store. You can sort apps by date or rating and further filter by free or paid. It’s all user driven. Click on an app and click “I like this app” or “I don’t like this app.” One unique aspect of this site is the ability to view statistics for each app such as user satisfaction level and distribution of comments by country.

Android Tapp is another great source to find new apps. They feature an app of the week and 20 categories of apps to choose from, including the Best Apps category. Ratings are voted by users, but the reviews provide both description and video demonstrations. They also give you pros and cons of each app. I personally like viewing their list of Best Apps to see their thoughts.

101 Best Android Apps is one of the sites I’m most excited about on the list. Prior to this post, I was unaware of the site. 101 Best Android Apps lets users decide which are the best using a 5 plus sign rating system. The descriptions are pretty basic with no actual reviews, but having the ability to view the most popular user rated via today, this month, all-time, etc brings value.

aTrackDog is an Android application that runs on your device, monitoring your existing apps. The purpose of the app is to help you stay up-to-date with your apps, by showing you which require updates. Though this feature is very helpful, my favorite aspect is the aTrackDog site, which gives you the ability to sort through and view and most popular apps in the time period of your choice.  Want to see the most popular free apps in the last week? How about the most popular paid games of all-time? This site has you covered.
