Five apps that are better than Android pre-installs

Af­ter us­ing an An­droid mo­bile phone for the last four years, I'm not afraid to tell any­one think­ing of switch­ing to the plat­form from iOS to pre­pare them­selves for a slim­mer se­lec­tion of soft­ware in al­most every cat­e­go­ry.

Giv­en the rel­a­tive dearth of must-have apps com­pared to the flour­ish­ing iOS plat­form, it's con­stant­ly sur­pris­ing to me that more top-shelf apps aren't bun­dled with An­droid phones in­stead of the crap­ware that tends to in­fest them.

Even worse, most of these apps can't be unin­stalled or even moved to an SD card, so when you do find a bet­ter prod­uct, it's go­ing to live on the phone along­side soft­ware you won't ever use and prob­a­bly don't like very much.

That rais­es the stakes for a re­place­ment app, but some are ab­solute­ly worth con­sid­er­ing.
