Can you guys recommend any useful Android apps?

Not games and such. Rather apps that you use a lot or find useful.

Android or iOS - What are your most used apps?

Here are some apps that I found really interesting or helpful for a variety of different uses:

It maps the sky and tells you the names of the stars. It is really cool if you find yourself in a place where the stars are bright.

Program your cell phone with triggers to automate a bunch of different things. Possibly a bit difficult to get into, but really powerful once you understand what it can do.

For all your cricketing news and live updates.

For all your podcasting requirements. May be a bit daunting of interface at first, but once you get the hang of it, it really is feature rich for a free app

It’s Discord on your phone, and you can connect even if you are not in front of your PC, like say playing Xbox or PS4 games…

When dealing with any other language in daily life, this app is fantastic, and I love the live translate as someone is talking or just pointing the camera to text and it translating it on screen. Has helped me many times.

Truecaller - identifying unknown callers and such
Baconreader - reddit app that I use
Call Recorder - records your calls, has saved my ass twice already
SpaceX Now - everything SpaceX, launch times and information, popular reddit threads, etc.
SwiftKey - keyboard app which learns from messages and emails how you type, to predict better. Also supports multiple dictionaries, etc.
