Android devices have hundreds of applications an owner can choose from, but what applications are the best for your Android tablet? Well ask no more, this article will guide you to the top 5 Android tablet applications necessary to optimize your tablet experience.
#1 Amazon App Store
This application I feel is a necessity among phones and tablets alike. If you have an Android device this application should be one of the first you download.
The Amazon app store allows you to buy applications found in the Android Marketplace and lets you use credit cards, along with Amazon gift cards. But what truly gives this application the #1 spot on this list is a giant perk! Paid apps are great, but how much better would they be if you got them for free? Well fret no more, because the Amazon App Store gives you a free application every day! They release one application that you would normally have to pay for and give it to you for free. What a deal!
#2 Pulse
Do you look at your gaming, science, and national news all on different apps or internet pages? Do you look at Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube updates separately? What would you say if I told you that you can see all of these sites and more all in one application?
Pulse takes all of your news, social media, etc. and puts it all into one convenient location! Pulse is fully customizable, extremely friendly, and quick to setup. Pulse is free to use and brings you all the information your mind craves.
#3 Dropbox
Ditch the old flash drives, SD cards, and usb-connections and 2 Free GBs of data all on a cloud server ready for you to transfer between your tablet, PC, and phone. And if you need more space you can purchase up to 100 GBs of space.
Dropbox allows you to store and transfer files that would otherwise take up space in physical devices and place those files into a server that only you have access to. You can even give individuals access to specific folders in your Dropbox, allowing for quick and easy access to that team project you’re doing at the last minute.
Put your term paper, or maybe an email or book you want to save for later into your Dropbox and you won’t have to worry about it taking up space on your device.
#4 CNBC
Ever want to check your stocks on the go? Well CNBC has you covered with this application. Keep up to date with all the real-time stock market information necessary to know when it is best to buy the biggest upcoming stock or sell your overstuffed golden egg for a huge profit.
You are able to watch up to eight stocks satisfying your personal interests and see top CNBC stories. Along with these perks you are also given the ability to go directly to their website page where you can get news on almost anything related to money. Whether you’re a big business executive or a college student trying to pay for graduate school, this is the app for all your stock market needs.
#5 Swiftkey Tablet X
This is the only application you have to pay for on this list, but I must say this is the best Android tablet keyboard versus both stock keyboards and other market keyboards. This keyboard comes with an amazing word prediction system and has an awesome layout modifier. The word prediction AI can correct your fast, incorrect typing, and it can predict words before you even begin typing!
The layout modifier is, in my own opinion, the coolest component of this application. I’m sure you have had problems typing while in the landscape position, but thanks to Swiftkey’s built in modifier you can change that. Swiftkey turns your spaced out keyboard into a two sided, thumb friendly keyboard with an independent num pad sitting in the middle. If you want a sleek, cool, and user-friendly keyboard, Swiftkey is the most obvious choice.

#1 Splashtop Remote HD
#2 Evernote
#3 Paper Camera
#4 Pulse
#5 System Panel
I’m seriously dissapointed that your writer put an APP STORE as #1 choice for app of the year. Really? An App store?
Nokia OVI map is rlaely still the BEST. The “problem” with Google maps is that you still need to go online. For OVI, you can download worldmaps into your phone for FREE, then you can travel anywhere OFFLINE as long as your phone has GPS.

I’m not a fan of Pulse – I find Taptu a lot better.
Nice list, but I have to disagree with #4 being here. An app for monitoring stocks is probably going to have no appeal for more than a few of us. If you could prove to me that a simple majority of Android tablet owners have a significant (more than one or two companies) stock portfolio, then I’ll eat my words.
The other four apps are great mentions that are worth looking into for almost everyone. For those unaware: Pulse isn’t just for people looking to merge their Facebook/Twitter feeds into one app, it’s also an outstanding RSS reader that can import your subscriptions from Google Reader.
In place of CNBC, I would suggest the Opera Mobile web browser (Mobile, NOT Mini; important distinction). It boasts a noticeable performance improvement over the stock browser, handles downloads much more effectively (including videos that normally try to stream), and still allows you to change between tablet/desktop for the user agent string (and supports desktop mode very well).
A BIG +1 on Swiftkey Tablet X. Swiftkey (on both the phone and tablet) is not free, but in my opinion, is the best keyboard replacement out there.
I disagree! I personally had a stock portfolio when I was a student and I would have loved to have had an app like this! It definitely beats the iPhone app for CNBC.
I found swype to be a very useful add-on as it increases speed of typing immensely.
Thank you very much for that big article
