With ES File Explorer, you can keep in chronological order a log of all you’ve downloaded and received from every source. Each file has a date or timestamp, and a visible address to its location in your phone. It ranges from seconds to minutes, and to days.

There are many other features you will find as you explore the ES File Explorer.
Number 14: My Calendar – Period Tracker
The embarassment of having to deal with sudden blood stains simply because you couldn’t keep track of your period! But it shouldn’t be so any more.
My Calendar – Period Tracker keeps track of your menstrual cycle, ovulation, and fertile days and provides you with information like rise in body temperature as a signal to go get your sanitary pads ready if you don’t have any.
This saves you the trouble of having stains on your clothes in public. It also tells you when you are most likely to get pregnant should you attempt some behind-closed-door activity. Simply download the app from Google Playstore and fill in the details of when you had your last period and voila! You’re set to take on the world.
Number 13: Google Go
Tech giant and everyone’s “hero” Google, released this App to specifically solve the problem of high cost of internet data and poor connectivity in Africa. It claims to reduce the amount of data needed to show search results by 40%!
The interesting fact is that it is way faster than any other browser. It also provides you with a lite version of any website you visit from the search results and another option to view the original site of you don’t like the lite version which uses lesser data.
As you type in the search box, it automatically brings the best search result.
Number 12: Snapseed
Go from a amateur to professional looking pictures with this app. Specially developed by Google to help you edit and transform your pictures from beast mode to beauty unrivalled, you can’t go wrong with this one.
It boasts of 29 suave tools from healing to perspective to brushing and many more all for your manipulations and ingenious creativity. What are you still waiting for? Personally, Snapseed has been more than handy.
Number 11: Xodo docs
This one is for the book lovers …if you’re a lover of PDF books then this is the best reading app you can find anywhere. But that’s not all, it is also an editor!
This means you can rearrange pages if you want to, save a copy of a doc document as PDF and even connect to Google Drive among many others. Underline, highlight, add notes, and comments. You can easily lookup the meaning of words or translate words from other languages to English.
Number 10: Canva
