The Android app market has exploded in recent years and it shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. This explosion is due, in part, to the number of people who are turning to their smartphones and tablets to do just about everything these days – from working and communicating to watching movies and booking travel reservations.
As a result, mobile app developers are introducing hundreds of new Android apps to the market each week to keep up with the increasing consumer demand. However, this constant deluge of new apps can leave some consumers feeling overwhelmed when trying to decipher all the features and functions the newest Android apps provide.
