Top 5 Best Android Selfie Apps

Whether or not you’re the type of person that just can’t resist sharing yet another Selfie to brighten up your day at work or just like to share your group shots with friends and family, we all love a good Selfie. While the camera apps included in our smartphones do a pretty great job of making it super-simple to get a decent shot of yourself, there’s a world of Selfie apps out there. many of which allow for easier sharing online, in-depth photo editing for those perfect shots and even quick one-tap effects and other such options. Here, we’ve put together a list of some of the best Selfie apps on Android, and hopefully there should be something for everyone.



The app that took the Summer of 2016 by storm, Prisma is an app that you need to use in order to believe the hype. It’s the one Selfie app that will take your photo and turn it into a unique piece of art that looks good enough to hang on your wall. The app originally launched as an iPhone-only app (boo!) but it has since jumped over to Android and is constantly being upgraded with a number of cool features. If you’re looking for a cool, unique and very “in” Selfie app to take all those mug shots with, Prisma is definitely one of the best.



If you’re the type of user that would rather go ahead and use something different than everyone else, then Frontback is the option for you. Designed as an app to capture both your reaction as a Selfie and then what’s going on using the rear-facing camera, Frontback is the one app to create a different final result for a Selfie. It’s free to download, and also has a fun and unique social side to it that helps to set itself aside from other Selfie apps out there. For an app that gets the job done and doesn’t ask much of its users, Frontback is worth downloading if only to give it a go.



Retrica is another standout app that has been around for years now, and it continues to be popular for a number of good reasons. Not least due to the fact that its interface is not only easy-to-use, but also good-looking and very fluid. With Retrica, users can quite quickly make a good-looking photo look great with a few taps, or they can keep at it and edit to their heart’s content making something really special. It’s a great mix of simplicity as well as more advanced features, and it will definitely appeal to a wide range of users, and it’s not just for Selfies, either as it’s a pretty great photo app all round.



The majority of readers here might already have this installed, but if you don’t, and have been looking for the perfect excuse to join the rest of the millions of users on Snapchat, Selfies are a pretty good one. Snapchat has been used for all sorts of things, but it can be used really simply to share funny Selfies with friends and family, thanks to the wide range of stickers and other animations you can apply to your photos. This isn’t going to be for everyone, but it’s a great way of sharing Selfies with friends and family, and there are some really funny stickers on hand here as well.



It’s rumored that this is the mobile app that the Kardashian Klan use when their personal photo artist isn’t on hand, but whether or not that’s true or just an urban myth is unclear. What is clear however, is the amount of fun and useful features that this has on offer. It comes with a range of different makeup options, which can be used as a way of testing out a new shade or just further touching something that the camera didn’t quite pickup. Let’s be honest, the reason many of us take a Selfie is to feel good about ourselves, and if you’re looking for a bit of a boost through the magic of photo editing, then Perfect365: One-Tap Makeover is more than happy to help out.

Top 5 Best Android Clock Widgets

Toady we take a look at the Top 5 Best Android Android Clock Widgets. It’s been said that one of our main uses for smartphones has been to tell the time, I know I’m guilty of it  the watch on my wrist is purely for show, my phone tells me what time it is. In fact, I’m not even sure if the time on my watch is correct. To that end I’ve developed somewhat of an obsession with clock widgets – sure, the system clock in the notification bar tells me the time but, the right widget on your home screen can really celebrate the time or, fill you with dread at the thought of your procrastination.



It’s been a long time sine this app has been updated, but it’s still one of my favorites. It offers a good amount of customization without overwhelming you, with the right set up you can achieve a nice unique text-based clock that looks very nice indeed on your homescreen. Clockr is available in both free and donate versions. Personally, I think it’s worth paying for the donate version as it includes a quite a bit more to customise with.



ClockQ is my current clock of choice the one I’m using on my phone and at times on my tablet. This is another text-based widget set-up, featuring a generous helping of different fonts along with (my favourite feature) the ability to rotate the clock helping you to align the clock with wallpapers to make a truly badass homescreen like the one below. ClockQ also comes with a free and paid version, in order to remove ads in the configuration window.



Long names aside, this widget  heavily styled on those loaded into the MIUI ROMS  comes with a good helping of options and features. This clock can show you alsorts, ranging from the weather to even the moon phase. It’s a very pretty clock and comes with a number of colored skins to match your wallpaper with.



No list of clock widgets  or any list of widgets would be complete without featuring the wonderful Beautiful Widgets suite. This has long been a goto widget of mine  I use the weather widget regularly  and was one of my first apps that introduced me to the heavy customisation capabilities of Android years ago. It could be seen as a little pricey but, for me at least, it’s well worth it. With a vast range of configurations to choose from it can make the perfect all-in-one clock widget.



This clock widget is something else, with a unique look that no other widget offers  plus some added extras it adds a cool look to your homescreen without being too flashy. Whilst reminding us of a certain video game it delivers a wide range of colours and a bit of Android bling to our homescreens. With all the essentials of a clock widget, including tap-to-launch functionality this one makes for an attractive addition to any homescreen. As with other widgets in this list it comes as a free app as well as a donate version.

Top 5 Best Android Caller ID / Block Apps

These days there are just too many friends and family members that call us and we need to see which one is calling, after all, some may invite us to a great party while others can be a royal pain that we would simply rather not talk to at the moment. There are just as many strangers out there looking to get a hold of us to sell something, maybe a bill collector, or an ex-spouse, ex-girl or boyfriend that just will not leave you alone. The first type of call requires Caller ID and for the latter type of caller you could use Call Block to keep those kinds of calls from ever reaching your device and bothering you in the first place.

Below is a list of some of the better Apps we found to perform those functions there are many out there – but the following ten were either highly rated, had lots of downloads, or many options, and a nice user interface. Let us know on our Google+ Page which Caller ID or Caller Block app you use and why you like it so much  we would love to hear from you.


If you just want a Full-Screen Caller ID picture, then this is the app for you.  It has over 4 million downloads and offers 18 different themes free of charge.  I never understood why the device manufacturers offer us these large displays, but give us such a small picture when it comes to caller IDs and messaging – well, this app will fix what ails you.  You can use up to 500 contacts for free, and see an HD Full Screen Caller ID for incoming/outgoing calls, missed calls, and SMS messaging.


This app has over 40 million downloads and close to 400,000 reviews/ratings.  It will handle both needs – Caller ID and Call Blocking by giving you access to Truecaller’s extensive top spammers list.  It will also do a reverse number lookup for both mobile and landline numbers, and even finds numbers to pre-paid phones.  You can also create a widget to see your caller history from the launcher.  It is free and has no advertisements.


This App has over 5 million downloads and was “One of the Best Apps of 2013” on Google Play in eight different countries.  You can identify the source of calls and text messages even if they are not in your current contact list by using their global database of over 600 million users.  They claim “more than 20 million calls are filtered and about 50,000 malicious calls are blocked by users every day.”  If you download their database to your phone, you can instantly identify Caller IDs even without an internet connection.



This app will not only block unwanted calls, but also SMS messages and allows you to create a Blacklist.  This app does not use many resources and offers little drain on your battery.  This App is not for Caller ID, only a real spam filter to keep certain phone numbers or SMS messages from ever reaching you.  It saves all block content in a journal format so you will not lose an important call or message.  You can also block private numbers or disable notifications as well.


Praised by a few publications, TalkSide not only is a Full-screen Caller ID, but grabs information on your caller from multiple places like Facebook, recent photos, chat history, birthday reminders and more, so you have a complete picture and info of your caller.  It will keep a chat history and always remember the last thing you were chatting about with an individual and displays that for you to see  makes you look pretty smart remembering all of those facts!

Best Android Apps Snapchat

Snapchat is one of the most popular image and video messaging apps out there, and one of the most popular apps in the Google Play Store. This app has been downloaded somewhere in between 500 million and 1 billion times from the Google Play Store at the time of writing this article, and has over 11 million reviews. That being said, pretty much everyone has heard of this app, and quite a few people use it. Well, for those of you who didn’t know this already, there are quite a few third-party Snapchat-related apps out there, in addition to Snap’s official app, of course. 

We’ve checked out quite a few of them and have hand-picked the ones we liked most, though do keep in mind that we’re listing only the apps that are available from the Google Play Store here, there are quite a few third-party Snapchat apps out there that have been removed from the Google Play Store (all third-party Snapchat clients, basically). In any case, keep in mind that the apps down below are not listed in any specific order, and these are only our picks. Having that in mind, let’s get started.



This is the official Snapchat app, and considering the fact that third-party Snapchat clients are not available, at least not in the Google Play Store, this is the app you’ll need to install if you’d like to access the service. That being said, this app allows you to send your images and videos to other people, and also make them quite fun in the process through a number of filters, stickers, and so on. You can also chat with your friends, discover new Snapchat ‘Stories’, and so on. Snapchat evolved quite a bit since it was launched, and has turned into a really popular, and fun app.



Bitmoji is a third-party application which can be used in collaboration with your main Snapchat application, just in case you’d like to create your own stickers and what not, in order to use them via Snapchat. In order to utilize some of those emojis, you’ll need to click the gear icon in Snapchat settings, select the Bitmoji app, and after that connect Bitmoji with Snapchat. Needless to say, you’ll need to have both apps installed on your smartphone.



SnapWow app is not exactly directly connected to Snapchat, but it allows you to create Snapchat-like filters. In case you’re enjoying Snapchat’s filters, then you’ll probably love this app, as it gives you quite a few options in that regard. You can create your very own filters which you can then use with a real-time preview on your camera, while you’re moving your face. Quite neat, isn’t it? This app is completely free to use, though ads are included here.



This app essentially lets you add Snapchat users as friends. There is no limitation as to how many friends you can get, and as you’re adding friends you’re earning coins. Your profile is displayed only to your friends, people you opt to add as you friends, that is, and there are several additional options within the app you can take advantage of. This app contains ads and in-app purchases, just so you know, it’s free to use, though.



Snappy Photo is yet another application that is not directly connected with Snapchat, but it offers you a chance to use really nice filters, in real time through the camera. In addition to that, you can share your snaps, videos, and even swap a face with your friend that is willing to stand next to you. This application is really well designed, people seem to like it, and it comes with quite a few features on the inside.
