Catch Notes
Catch notes is an awesome tool for keeping and recording any notes, managing task lists, as well saving any images for later use all within this same app. This app requires you to create an account on catch.com which will let you keep your notes, recording and other things synced with your account so that you can access them whenever and wherever.
This app has a stunning UI on both phones and tablets, while the UI on phones is better than that of tablets, as on phones you will find an interesting circle, which lets you select what you want to create, whether a note, or recording, or task or something else.
With this app you can maintain your notes and other things in an easy and beautiful way, and you can select a colour for individual notes to distinguish them easily.
Angry Birds Star Wars
Angry Birds is back and this time be ready to live the life of Star Wars, as you will be having some serious Star Wars experience throwing birds in the space. This version of Angry Birds is much more entertaining, as you can do a whole lot of things with the birds like the weapons and tactics seen in Star Wars.
With this version you will be getting a feel of the previous version of Angry Birds, which is the Angry Birds Space, while you will also be able to play in an environment of Star Wars.
The action is pumped up, so be ready to face some serious challenges and do some mind blowing action with this game.
Evi
Evi is an awesome assistant which will guide you in every situation and will also be a partner for you when you are getting bored or need someone to talk with. This app is quite intelligent, and can answer your question pretty smartly.
You can ask your question directly by speaking, or you can as well type your questions if you are not pretty good with pronunciation. This is not just an app that finds answers to your question, it is a type of app like Siri, which answers your every question smartly and in the way any normal human would do.
If you are bored, then you can just sit around, and kill time with this stunning app. Just keep on asking questions to Evi and see what replies you get from it, and I am sure you will love it.
Google Currents
Google Currents is another wonder from Google for us. Like reading magazines, then you will surely love this app, as it presents any news or article from your favourite blogs or sites in an appealing way kind of like a magazine, which is enjoyable to read.
You can add your favourite blogs and sites to your currents list and you will be presented with the latest posts from those blogs on your Currents home screen. The UI is simply awesome after a recent update. I am not much of a fan of reading, but with this app, I can read thousands of lines without getting bored.
To help you get started, you can read daPazze on Google Currents, just add daPazze to your currents list and you are all set to go.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is now available on Android, so if you have loved playing this game, which I assume that you have, you will love this game on Android, as it’s more or less the same game perfectly crafted for Android devices to give you a feel of the real GTA on your Android device.
Currently this game is available for Android devices of higher resolutions which makes it unplayable on devices like smartphones. I can’t install it on my Galaxy S II, though I have tested this on a Galaxy Tab, and it feels just awesome.

Smart Connect
Smart Connect is an awesome app from Sony, which lets you control your device by managing what happens to your device when you connect something to your device. You can choose from a wide range of options to do when you connect a particular thing to your device.
For example, you can choose to automatically start playing music whenever you connect an earphone to your smartphone or tablet and next time whenever you will plug in your earphone, your device will start playing music automatically.
This is a very handy tool, and you can have total control over your devices without even going through complicated menus.
Finally we come to the end of the list and I hope that these above mentioned Android apps will help you in your daily activities in the new year. If you have any suggestion for an app or have any query please feel free to post your comments below and we will have a look. A very happy new year to you in advance.
