Software

Google Slides

Google Slides is a free productivity app from Google that allows you to edit and create Google Presentations and share them with your co-workers. It’s also compatible with Power Point so you can open and edit and save PPT files, and apart from offering several editing tools, you can even use this offline.

Photo Private & Lock

Photo Private Lock from Metro 8 has a pretty descriptive name, because that’s exactly what it does, keep your personal photos and videos private. These days we use Widows Mobile as much for work as for personal matters and entertainment, and to prevent people from accidentally seeing your personal stuff, you can use this app to hide them.

Autodesk SketchBook Free Edition

Autodesk Sketchbook Free Edition was developed expressly for mobile, and while the company is best known for their 3D software this 2D drawing app is well designed. There’s a single in-app purchase option to access some features, but the free edition should be sufficient for casual doodling and sketching.

Replay Video Editor for Instagram

Posting images on Instagram is fun, but wouldn’t it be even cooler if you could bring those pictures and videos as one? With Replay Video Editor from Stupeflix you can do just that. It works similar to a slideshow but with more options, and it is easier to use; so even if you’re not a techie getting this to work is a snap.

Echo Notification Lockscreen

Android is a well-designed OS, but its lockscreen capabilities can use some improvement, and that’s where Echo Lockscreen Notification comes in. Created by Double Labs, it’s a lockscreen that’s both cool and functional and won’t use up a lot of resources on your mobile. As the name says, it’s a lockscreen with notifications.

Miranda IM

Miranda IM is a free instant messaging client for Windows, and while it doesn’t have the fancy features of other IM clients, it’s very functional and provides basic but solid features. Most important, however, is that it’s free and easy to use. With this software you can easily add accounts from your other IM clients, and that’s only for starters.

GroupMe

GroupMe is a group chat app that allows you to organize the conversations you have with your friends. With the app you can arrange messages by specific groups / topics so one group has your conversations about basketball, the other about politics, another for your travels and so on.
