3 Essential Android Apps That You'll Wonder How You Ever Managed Without

These 3 essential apps are different to other 'recommended' lists. They tend to focus on apps for a particular topic such as business, gaming or productivity. These apps do things that you wish your Android phone did out-of-the-box, but unfortunately doesn't. In short, they make your Android phone better and your mobile life simpler.

1. Quick Profiles

Before you had an Android phone you probably had something like a Nokia with in-built profiles that let you quickly switch sound and vibration settings depending on if you were in a meeting or outdoors, etc. Quick Profiles enables you to do this on your Android phone and a whole lot more.

With Quick Profiles you can turn other settings on/off such as WiFi and Bluetooth. So, for example, I have a 'car' profile which turns Bluetooth on, WiFi off and the volume for calls and notifications up to the max.

2. SDrescan

Have you ever edited any of your photos and then seen the annoying 'broken photo' icon in the Photo Gallery? SDrescan fixes that and many other things - quickly and easily. It doesn't need any more explanation than that.

3. Caller ID Manager

OK, I'm biased - this is my first app, my baby. I use my mobile for work but don't always want clients to have my mobile number, so I hide it. Then I want to make a call to someone I know at the end of the day and I want to show it again. This is a real pain to do through the Android Settings menus However, with this app you can quickly show/hide your number on all calls at the touch of a button. By default it is set up for UK networks/carriers - but is configurable to work in other countries and on other networks.
