*-*-*-*-* General Applications *-*-*-*-*

1- Astro File Manager 4.5 stars out of 5
Good file manager even unzip the zip folders, the problem I have that if you have copied anything from ‘Home’ of astro file manager then if you go up by touching up icon, it simply can’t paste it there, as paste option disables itself.

2- Advanced Task Killer 3.5 stars out of 5
It’s free and mandatory, because applications even after closing do run in the background and whenever you power on your mobile all applications start in the background and it exhausts phone’s battery. The good thing is that it’s very light and fast running application. It's new version 4.0.2 was not working properly on my mobile and no reply came from their support.
Size: 256 KB or .25 MB

3- LauncherPro (Version 0.8.5) 3.3 stars out of 5
It was praised and appreciated too much on the reviews and all that, that its 3D graphics are far better than android, so I installed it, but I was not impressed that much with LauncherPro, whenever I start my mobile or press home button from any application, mobile ask to launch LauncherPro or default mobile screen, which makes it so tedious and your mobile use become slow.
Application Name on download link: LauncherPro-0.8.5.apk size
Size: 2274 KB or 2.220 MB
Downloaded reference: http://www.launcherpro.com/

4- ConvertPad 4.5 stars out of 5
Excellent converter, it has more converter units then we can expect, if you need a converter on your mobile which converts from one unit to another then certainly this converter is for you.
Application Name on the download link: ConvertPad - Unit Converter
Size: 697 KB or 0.680 MB

5- Total Recall (Version 1.8.5) 3.5 stars out of 5
I had mix experience with this application, call recording was not recording in wav format for any strategy on my mobile, 'Recording Strategy A' never in any format record the voice on which the application is installed, 'Recording Strategy B' is proved to be more suitable for my mobile with 3gpp format, they should provide any information regarding which strategy is suitable or work for which mobile, it has 3 strategies, however, it can record calls in 4 different formats 3gpp, mpeg4, amr & wav if any strategy suits your mobile.

6- Go SMS Pro 4.2 stars out of 5

8-Handcent SMS for Android (Version 3.7.5) 4 stars out of 5
Gives no. of sms received from a particular contact, its quick action has features which are mostly dependent on internet connection, yes you can send one sms to multiple contacts, but how to make groups is still not very clear to me, it has speak feature but need to install recognizer, quick text etc are normal features for other sms application as well. The feature that I liked is that if the sms did not reach the recipient/ recipients it shows small red cross with the contact name.

9-SketchIt Online [Draw & Guess] 3 stars out of 5
It allows you to sketch and other people do guess it, but not user-friendly when it comes to say yes that the other user guessed the solution, it has chatting option as well, and the user can create profile as well, but the application should have option of offline sketching which can be used for practice, all in all a reasonable application.

12-How to Draw - Easy Lessons 3 stars out of 5
It has some complex picture which is taught that how you should start drawing then in few basic steps, but when it comes to give option of drawing it by yourself then this application does not provide much of variations, all in all an ok application for those who like drawing, it could have been great if this or such application also goes online and sketching maniacs share ideas with each other.

14- Firefox Browser for Android 3 stars out of 5
I would like to compare everything of it with my Sony Xperia Sola browser (HTML5, Adobe Flash) unfortunately it is not as fast as Xperia’s browser and the thing that hurt me the most is that it does not play videos, whereas my Sony Xperia Sola phone’s browser (HTML5, Adobe Flash) very fast start playing videos.

Release the captured princess for this collect powers and face enemy waves. Good: Excellent graphics, amazing characters of Heroes & Villains, great storyline, hardly crashes, can be played in both modes Offline / Online.
Bad: Room of improvement in music & you don't get Glu credit, unlike some of their games as daily bonus which are useful to buy items
All in all if you like fighting, magic & defense game then this game is RECOMMENDED to you.

2-Lair Defense: Dungeon 4.5 stars out of 5
A very good defense game, here you need to save eggs from different type of humans who have different abilities, No matter how many times you report to them about game crashing, you never gonna get their reply or anything. The other problem with this game is that, there is no resume option for the game if you have left the game in the middle. Music is good as well. It has 3 records and every record has 6 levels and every level has 8 games, here these 3 records (Normal mode) become monotonous as user not able to find much difference among them and this whole hierarchy of records so on repeats for (Hell mode) as well. If you have won everything in the game, then there is also 'Endless' mode of the game, here you can check how far you can save your dragon's eggs........

3-Sentinel 3 4.5 stars out of 5
I was addicted to this game till I managed to clear all of its levels, it has great graphics, it has a Commander in every battle which fights with the turrets, orbital ship weapons, automated drones etc, the things that bothers me is that it crashes more then I bear, It continuous music is not in relevance of the game but it can be stopped through Options, on what basis Commander gets points which can be used to increase its powers also ambiguous, & its NOT for FREE, all in all a very good game with few issues.

4-Tower Raiders 2 GOLD 4.3 stars out of 5

Good: Good graphics, excellent music, depth of the game. Bad: There is no offline mode, though this game is free but without spending money it is very difficult to upgrade the castle/empire and avoid continuous destruction.

3-CONTRACT KILLER: ZOMBIES (NR) 4.5 stars out of 5
A good game, it loads easily does not take much time, and not crashes as often as other heavy games, this game had the potential to be great but the problem is that there is not much zoom may be because the shooter is unfortunately on the wheel chair, which sometimes make you feel like a spectator watching the action from distance, also you have to be online for the consecutive 5th day to get coins, on 'Performance' you will not be able to win a single coin, yes you may get $ from 'Survival Mode'. Also it has good storyline, dialogues and relevant music, which you don't often related to Zombie games.

Good: Excellent graphics, excellent music, good storyline, good weapons, Offline you don't need internet to play the game, all those who like action pact, shooting games will like it.
Bad: As I mentioned storyline is good but it seems that it targets a certain ethnicity for villains roles, I would have given it more than 3.9 stars but I lost all my progress from level 13 for no apparent reason and when I complained they just said 'We have added 500 credits for your trouble, as we cannot restore the progression'.

1-Tank Hero (Version 1.4)
Good graphics, good background music, good fighting scenarios, You need speed & lot of skills to save your tank, it has 3 main features 1-Campaign, 2-Survival and 3-Time trial and each feature has 4 levels
Size: 10.1 MB

2-Death Moto
Reasonably a good game, in this game you can enjoy two things at the same time i-Race ii-Destruction ? as you knock down other riders by collecting weapons and then throwing at them.
What is lacks is normally all racing games do is there are no breaks ? I wonder why this is so with almost all such games, I don’t came across any vehicle without breaks.

3-WARSHIP BATTLE:3D World War II (Version 1.1.4) 4.5 stars out of 5
Good: Graphics & music is realistic and good, missions & episodes are also different and entertaining. Can be played OFFLINE, which is a very good thing, and it hardly CRASHED.
Bad: There should also be an ONLINE mode as well which should be multiplayer, this is not a bug but just a suggestion :)

4-MUTANT ROADKILL 4 stars out of 5
Graphics are just ok to me, they are not as great as other Glu mobile games, the other thing that I don't like is that when you earn points and miles that you get; covers the whole screen so you will not be able to see the road clearly, & one more thing that you never get any coin for good performance, concept and thinking of the game is good just need to check above mentioned things, all in all a good game.
Size: 30 MB

 5-Road Warrior: Best Racing Game 4 stars out of 5
It is violent race game, can be played as a single player and online (Multiplayer), it lacks ‘Death race movie’ kind of excitement, graphics are not that great as well, Upgrades engines etc can be done through money which is earned through races, good weapons can be bought through money [Not free :)], music is reasonable, but the excitement comes when you play online and earn points and then have standings in a Season, all in all good game.
Size: Varies with device

 6-Speed Racing 3.5 stars out of 5
In this game you don't have to race with another vehicles, you just have to beat your own score but that score is only for the standing list and that list does not include the name of you but of the car :(, score also does not help out to purchase anything, it is the coin that matters for purchasing any power (Clearing fog, protecting from crash for 10 seconds & repairing car) or to buy a better car, all in all a reasonable game.

 7-Highway Rider (Version 1.4.5) 3.7 stars out of 5
Not a racing game but rather a dodging or a 'close call' game as you get Gas Caps when you go pass from a close range of any obstacle or vehicle, these Gas Caps are like money here, there are 2 different rides 'Arcade' and 'Fugitive' with not much difference but has different characters who look different but behaviors are almost the same, reasonable graphics and music, good part comes when your rider crashes and the rider's whole injuries start coming in a list and then the amount the rider spend in hospital, Light game to load does not crash much, all in all; a reasonable game.

 8-Smash Cops Heat  (Version 1.10.05) 3.7 star out of 5

10-GEARS & GUTS (Version 1.2.7) 3.2 stars out of 5 
A reasonable game. Good: Variety of missions. Bad: Graphics can be improved. In daily bonus, don't get all important Glu credits (Gold Coins). When I upgraded from Android Kitkat to Lollipop at the start this game started CRASHING, unlike some other games.

11-INDESTRUCTIBLE (Version 3.0.0) 2.9 stars out of 5
A reasonable vehicle fighting game but BAD if you are not able to buy things, don't download it. Don't have daily bonus. In Single Player campaign if you stuck against an opponent then you can't fight even your opponents of the previous fights. Good: Can play offline/Online both, Online is Multiplayer. When I upgraded from Android Kitkat to Lollipop this game continue working fine.

13-MOTOCROSS MELTDOWN (Version 1.0.1) 1.5 stars out of 5
Excellent graphics, concept of motorbike race and stunts with reasonable music but very poor implementation as it has so many issues, as despite doing everything perfect in racing and having good skills, you don't know what to do to, to avoid failed jump, also the game crashes a lot, and the other thing is that you don't get rewarded for playing it daily This game is made by glu but unlike their other games they alienated it with glu credits, I wonder why...and one of the biggest issue with this game is that this game can only be played ONLINE :(

14-Armored Car HD (Racing Game)  (Version 1.2.0) 1 star out of 5This game is about destroying other racing card. Good: Graphics are great, reasonable music. Bad: There are no events in the game, all its modes Standard, Survival and chase has nothing to engage user. Not recommended.

4-Undead Slayer
I just didn't connected with this game, there is not much guide how to fight in the game, and the characters are too small in order to identify and characterized them, also you have to be online to play this game which is also an obstacle, but actually I am only the very few who did not like this game.

5-King Fighter III
The typical 80s game, everything from graphics, music to fighting skills there is nothing new in this game you find in recent fighting games, so if you like 80s fighting games then you’ll like it but if you like high class graphics, background music and great fighting skills then you’ll uninstall this game immediately.

1- Angry Birds (v1.5.3 Ad-Free) 4 stars out of 5
1st I downloaded an apk of Angry birds but it had problem, the game used to hang and my mobile gets restarted 40% of the time, so I thought it might be a problem with the apk, then from market.android.com I downloaded Angry birds but this problem in reality increased to 100% my mobile always hangs & get restarted whenever I play this game. (May be problem with mobile compatibility with this game).

2-Angry Birds Rio (Version 1.0.0) 4.2 stars out of 5
Very similar to Angry Birds, the difference here is that here the birds don't target the pigs but the original 'Angry Birds' are kidnapped and taken to the magical city of Rio de Janeiro & you have to free them (Smugglers Den), next level in (Jungle Escape) target Monkeys  in its 15th game there is a huge bird to be targeted, below download link does not take to any further level, it has some additional features as well like 'Special hidden fruits' etc, and the most important thing is 'Angry Birds' always hanged on my mobile but 'Angry Birds Rio' not even once hanged on my mobile.

A very good game, I like this variation of Angry Birds most then any of its games, in this game there is a concept of gravity or multiple gravity for angry birds to use for their good, and in this one game there are different worlds 9 of them with different features, this game also found to be very compatible with my mobile, run smoothly and does not hang.

4-Angry Birds Go! (Version 1.13.9) 4 stars out of 5
A game in which Angry birds are racing. Good:  Good graphics, 5 different types of tracks and each track requires a compatible car, each track has further good challenges Bad: When I downloaded the game, it can be played offline, but after few updates, it can only be played online. The main theme which was that all birds are heroes & all pigs were bad is shunned in this game, as even pigs are racing for you.

10-Paradise Cove 3 stars out of 5
An ok game, it feels good when you make houses, purchase ships & hire explorers in short build your town, it also has a Mermaid that on wage search the water & brings Coins, Rubies, and Pearls but mostly it cost more than you get benefit from Mermaid, but the sad part with this game is that, that it’s slow to progress, as earning coins takes time to expand your town, hardly you are able to earn Ruby or if you have played for consecutive 7 days then you earn 1 Ruby, and you have to get online in order to start the game, you can’t start game offline, and there is no account system, if you change your mobile or using someone’s else mobile you have to start it all over again, and if you have made 100 of houses etc then you have to tap them all to get their coins ahh…..
