Even if you have the time to check out different apps, there is one inherent issue with Android. Now, Android is an open source platform, which means that this operating system is not standardized. There are multiple versions of Android available in the market simultaneously. So, the apps that are most compatible with one version of Android may not be compatible at all with another. These apps could impede certain functions of your tablet or could even cause your tablet to crash.

We have chosen apps that are suitable for your needs as well as the most compatible with the hardware and Android version of your tablet.
