How do you transform your Android device from interesting gadget to indispensable assistant? We have you covered. These 6 apps are among the best functionality-expanding
productivity tools available for Android today. Put them on your Android smartphone or tablet, and get ready to watch your productivity soar.
1. AIRDROID
AirDroid allows you to access and manage your Android phone or tablet from Windows, Mac or the Web, wirelessly, for free. Transfer files between your devices, and share files to your friends.
Better focused: Calls, SMS, and the app notifications you allowed, mirrored to the large computer screen you are focusing on.

2. OFFICESUITE 8
OfficeSuite 8 has won our last three Android office suite shoot-outs, and for good reason: It’s hands-down the best fully featured office suite available for Android users.
OfficeSuite Pro costs $14.99 plus another $10 for an essential font compatibility add-on (or $19.99 a year via an in-app purchase for the Premium version, if you’d rather go the subscription route) — but you get what you pay for: The program boasts an elegant design on both smartphones and tablets and is jam-packed with advanced desktoplike functionality for documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. It integrates with numerous cloud storage services and offers native PDF-markup commands.
Even with Microsoft’s own Office apps now available on Android, OfficeSuite 8 remains the most robust and user-friendly option the platform has to offer
3. GOOGLE NOW LAUNCHER
Android device makers love to muddy the OS’s interface with their attempts at visual design, but more often than not, those changes are a step in the wrong direction. Why not take matters into your own hands? The Google Now Launcher — loaded by default on Google’s own Nexus devices — gives you a clean and simple “stock” home screen setup that’ll improve your mobile experience and make you more productive.
Key features:
• Swipe right from your Home screen to see Google Now cards that bring you just the right information, at just the right time.
• Quick access to Search from every Home screen.
• Say “Ok Google” to search with your voice, or tell your phone what to do: send a text message, get directions, play a song, and much more.
• A-Z apps list, with fast scrolling and quick searching of apps on your device and the Play Store.
• App Suggestions bring the app you’re looking for to the top of your A-Z list.

4. CHROME REMOTE DESKTOP
Want full remote access to your PC from your Android phone or tablet? Google’s free Chrome Remote Desktop is all you need. Simply install the companion app for the Chrome desktop browser — compatible with any operating system where the browser is supported — and within minutes, you’ll be securely connecting to your computer from your mobile device.
Once connected, you can use your Android device to open folders, manipulate files, and run programs on your desktop system as if you were sitting right in front of it. You can connect multiple computers to the service, too; all you have to do is install and configure the Chrome app on each additional system, and it’ll show up as an option in the app.
5. MICROSOFT OUTLOOK
Meet Outlook for Android, the app that helps millions of users connect all their email accounts, calendars and files in one convenient spot. Newly redesigned, Outlook for Android lets you do more from one powerful inbox. See what matters most first with the Focused inbox that keeps the important messages on top. Switch between your emails and calendar to schedule your next meeting or share your availability with just a few taps. Or grab a document from your Files list and attach it to an email seamlessly.
6. TODAY CALENDAR 2016
Despite being derived from the same stock android calendar as the majority of alternative calendars on the Play Store, Today Calendar sets itself apart from the competition by being the only calendar app to combine high functionality with stunning aesthetics.
The stock calendar’s UI was completely overhauled to create Today Calendar. The old cluttered grey-on-grey layout was replaced with a clean themeable design to create a truly beautiful calendar app.
Today calendar contains all the features you would find in the stock calendar app, with many features getting slightly modified and rebuilt from the ground up to increase performance and productivity. Today makes organising your agenda incredibly easy.
The month view has been redesigned to be Today Calendar’s All-In-One view. It combines both the month and agenda views of the stock calendar to allow the vast majority of users to plan and organise their agenda from a single view.
