How To: 6 Great Apps for Android That iPhone Users Can't Have
Smartphones have become such a big part of our lives these days that they're now closely associated with our personal identities. No longer is it Ford versus Chevy, rock versus rap, or PC versus Mac—now, you're either an Android person or an iOS person.Don't Miss: 10 Things That'll Annoy Android Users About iPhones With over 80 percent of the global smartphone market share, Android has definitely won the statistics battle. But there are still plenty of folks who stand by their iPhone commitment with an air of superiority that only someone who paid extra cash for an unjustified status symbol could have.Don't Miss: 10 Things the iPhone Does Better Than Android So if you're tired of hearing "my iPhone this" and "my iPhone that" from the iOS people in your life, the best way to shut them up is with cold, hard evidence. The apps we'll cover below offer lots of great jealousy-inducing functionality—and the best part? They're only available on Android.
#1 - ChromerThe first app in our list almost embodies the Android experience, because unlike iOS, you can actually change the default browser without voiding your warranty. Chromer is a mini-browser that hooks into Android's new Chrome Custom Tabs feature, which in turn allows you to browse the web from within any app while having access to your browser history and synced passwords from Google Chrome.Install Chromer for free from the Google Play Store It may sound complicated at first, but once you've installed the app, you'll quickly figure out how awesome it is. For instance, you can tap a link in your favorite news app, then have it load in the background to be accessed later with Chromer's "Webheads" feature. There are plenty of customization options, too, so you can make this ultra-fast browser your own.Don't Miss: Our full walkthrough for Chromer
#2 - AnyMote - Smart Remote ControlIf you own a Samsung or HTC device that has a built-in infrared blaster, AnyMote can turn your phone into the best universal remote you'll ever own. A pro version is available for $6.99, but the free version still allows you to control almost any device in your home.Install AnyMote for free from the Google Play Store The app provides an intuitive interface for controlling devices like TVs, game systems, DSLR cameras, cable boxes, projectors, A/C units, and even some Wi-Fi connected gadgets. There's even a gesture-based interface that allows you to control your devices with a series of taps or swipes, and all of this would be completely impossible with an iPhone.Don't Miss: The Best Remote Control Apps for Android
#3 - TaskerIf you really want to show up an iPhone user, there's no better way than with Tasker. The venerable automation app allows you to perform virtually any "if this, then that" action that you can think of, which means that you can choose certain situations or contexts that will cause your phone to spring into action all on its own.Install Tasker for $2.99 from the Google Play Store There's a bit of a learning curve involved with Tasker, but it's well worth the effort—and if you're put off by the $2.99 price tag, there's a free 7-day trial version available. Once you get the hang of things, though, you and your iPhone friends will be shocked by what your phone can do with Tasker.Don't Miss: Tasker for Beginners: 5 Profiles to Get You Started Don't Miss: How to Make Apps with Tasker That Anyone Can Use
#4 - Google Opinion RewardsWhen it comes to paid apps, Apple's walled garden is generally more expensive than Android's, with the latter relying more on ads to make up for the lost revenue.

Beat that, iTunes.Don't Miss: Our full walkthrough of Opinion Rewards

#6 - Solid ExplorerAmazingly enough, Apple still doesn't trust its users to manage their own files. As a result, the iPhone has no built-in file browser, and users can't even explore their local storage without jailbreaking or connecting to a computer. So if you really want to show off Android's flexibility, just install a simple app called Solid Explorer.Install Solid Explorer for free from the Google Play Store Solid Explorer has a beautiful Material Design interface, and it makes managing files a breeze. You can cut, copy, and paste to your heart's content, and you can even create new files and folders.
