It doesn’t matter much whether you’re fresh off the box when it comes to Android, or you’ve been a long-time user, the Google Play store which has more than 3.5 million mobile applications can be one intimidating tool to encounter.

Here are a few mobile applications you may want to look into to jump-start your collection of the best apps to have this 2018.
