Apps that will make Android even better

These apps are tried and tested and can transform the look, automate tasks and make working with the device more convenient.

1. Gboard or SwiftKey

Android devices are divided into two types: those with preinstalled Gboard , and those whose native keyboard you want to immediately replace with something more sane. Gboard and its SwiftKey counterpart are arguably the two best keyboards on Google Play.

They differ slightly in appearance, settings, and gestures, but generally provide roughly the same feature set. Both are completely free and contain no ads (although SwiftKey has paid themes).

2. IFTTT

Probably all the readers of Lifehacker know about the IFTTT service . And those who don't know are simply obliged to get to know him. This is an incredibly powerful and flexible tool that has tons of recipes. Automatically send a message to a colleague if you're late?

You are welcome. Save Instagram likes to Dropbox? Easy. The application also knows how to control the functions of your phone, smart home and work in tandem with voice assistants. Try it, you won't regret it.

3. Navbar

This application can style the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen where the Back, Home, and Browse soft buttons are located. Navbar has a lot of themes - both discreet and stylish, as well as fun: with Garfield the cat, rainbow ponies and watermelons.

In addition, the application can change the color of the navigation bar to match the application that is currently open.

The only drawback: Navbar does not work with Huawei devices, and some functions are available only in the paid version. An alternative is Paphonb's Custom Navigation Bar, which makes the Android Nougat bar look like Android O.
