I will check those, interested in first too on Priority!
 
- 3G Watch Dog (3G/4G data usage monitor)
- DrWeb Light (free antivirus)
- Opera Browser (browser)
- OperaMax (3G/4G data saving and compression)
- CamScanner (document scanning app)
 
Thanks for the kore suggestion was sitting at my pc and looking over to the tv when choosing what to watch on kodi before now like a noob :D and it works pretty well so far
 
1. AndFTP - For accessing ftp servers
2. GasBuddy - For Finding The Cheapest Gas
3. Fuel Buddy - For tracking my fuel economy(My daily driver is bare bones, no onboard computer to track it for me)
4. Baccode Scaner - It reads QR Codes Too!
5. Parallels X2 Client - For remote controlling my computers with Remote Desktop
6. Google Authenticator - For logging into TPU with 2-Factor Authentication...and other sites, but TPU is the most important ;)
7. GPS Status - Mainly just used to clear the GPS Cache data/reset the A-GPS state to fix the odd time when the GPS just stops working(It's only happened once in the year since I got my LG phone, but it used to happen all the time when I had my Motorola phones) It also lets you download the GPS Assistant data, to speed up GPS lock for a few days, useful if you plan to travel to an area you don't know and want almost instant GPS connection when you open Maps.
8. SMS Backup+ - For backing up/restoring Text Messages and the Call Log to my Gmail account.
9. Where's My Droid - Send your phone a text message, and it responds with GPS location. You can also set up and account, and log into a dashboard to see the location of your phone. Life saver if your phone is lost or stolen.
10. Nova Launcher - GUI replacement. I don't really need it with my LG on Marshmallow, but some of these other brands of phones(especially the cheap pre-pay ones) really benefit from Nova. It is lightweight and snappy and easy to use.


I'm mainly just adding to the list that was already said, because some of the apps already posted are must haves for me too.

I use the one from Farproc.
 
Do anyone know such apps:-

1. One which switch to different profile , suppose anyone asks my phone I can switch to different profile let them only access what they want.
2. One touch Video record/ photo function app
3. In Phone Video Cutter
 
Must have data saving apps if you are on tight data plan:

Onavo Extend (the first I ever found, but doesn't seem to do much these days)
OperaMax (works really well and also optimizes things no others can, for example music streaming services and video services with minimal image/audio quality degradation)
Neopard (saves data on everything and it works really well, especially if you're willing to sacrifice some privacy and enable HTTPS optimization)

At least OperaMax and Neopard can save over 50% of data, meaning for 1GB of transferred data, you'd actually consume 512MB of your data plan. That's pretty cool.
 
1. Adaway(avoid seeing ads while online)
2. Cabinet(allows you to browse and manipulate your phone's files/folders)
3. Servicely(can keep rogue apps under control)
4. Wakelock Detector(can figure out which apps are draining your battery)
5. Titanium Backup(can be used to freeze and/or delete system apps that are wasting space)

Some of the programs above require your phone is rooted for full functionality.
 
1. ES file explorer. Transmits between android devices, and windows shares/NAS devices. I can use it on my phone to load files off my NAS and play them with...
2. MX player. Be it the play store version or the public alpha/beta releases, its ridonculous. With their custom audio codec and the new beta, i can play 1080p H265 HEVC 5.1 channel audio on my phone, and my shitey android TV box.
3. Adaway. You need root, but a system wide ad blocker is amazeballs. No popup adds in freeware games!
 
1)Wifi analyzer
2)Dolphin Browser (has good addons and lastpass integration)
3)Adaway (needs root)
4)PowerAmp
5)Intellicast
6)Fing
7)Speedtest
8Wakelock detector
9)CPU-Z
10)FX file explorer/ESfile explorer
 
1. Power Amp (Great Music Player)
2. Unified Remote
3. Speedtest
4. 9gag (my mobile data depleted in matter of 2-3 weeks, if there is no wifi)
5. CPU-Z
6. Polaris Office
7. LINE
8. Firefox ( I can't live without this one)
 
net guard sets up a local vpn loop so it doesn't need root
 
artecture for drawing drawing
skrwt for editing some pictures
 
my votes moved from ES file explorer to solid explorer so hard, a sexual joke about yo mama belongs here.


Solid might cost a penny or three, but with its OTG plugin for phones that lack native OTG support it just works, and works so well... (adds things like NTFS support that otherwise might be missing) and using the split-screen view to copy files to/from my NAS is just incredibly easy.
 
I'll assume you have root so here goes:

-Xposed (and Gravity Box, if you have AOSP)
-AdAway or AdFree (both work well)
-BetterBatteryStats
-Recently (keeps he recents tab neat and in check)
-MiXplorer (seriously, absolutely the best browser out there)
-OneCalculator
-MxPlayer
-QuickPic (up to version 4.5.2)
-Viper4Android
-Kernel Adiutor (for kernel tweaking)
 
These are the must ones for me..

Wifi analyzer
puevpn
candy
xposed
polaris office
one calculator
dropbox
facebook
techpowerup
whatsapp
 
Spaceteam!! I must have when having lunch in a food court with ya mates
 
ES File explorer, PlayerPro with DSP pack, Titanium Backup (requires root), Tiny flashlight + LED, PG Calculator Pro, Stopwatch timer, oh yes, and NenaMark2 v2.4 & Antutu.
 
-Avast
-VLC Player
-Dokkan Battle because its the only game i play on the phone lol
