Guide to the Top Free Android Apps

The Android mobile platform has become a major player in the smartphone market and there are thousands of apps to choose from. While the top iPhone apps continue to rack up impressive sales figures it seems that Android users expect a little more for free. Sales of paid Android apps simply haven't taken off in the same way. Luckily there are loads of great free Android apps.

It is worth noting that not every Android cell phone will be able to run every app out there, because of variable hardware specifications and versions of the OS.

We've all seen app round ups before and they often include apps that come as standard with most phones, for example Google Maps, Facebook, and Twitter. We'll skip those here and try to dig out some other free options that you'll be interested in.
