7 must-have apps for new Nexus 7

Nexus 7
The ideal gift for under the Christmas tree is obviously a Nexus 7: cheap, fast and equipped with the latest and greatest Android version (and v = change your life!). But which apps you first have to install your brand new small tablet? Android Planet helps you a hand and give you seven tips that are not on your Nexus 7 - or other Android tablet - may be missing.

On site we wrote earlier about the 10 best Android apps for your Nexus 7. This list supplemented with new apps that too not on your Nexus 7 may be missing.

Paperback
The Nexus 7 is its small and convenient size excellent to read along, on the train, on the couch or in bed. We called Pocket already in the above article, but the Android app deserves an honorable mention again. Pocket has developed well in recent months, running faster and has more and more useful features. In November, the app is a major update that Pocket faster work late and start late rapper. Combined with the handy Chrome plug-in for your desktop with one click you can store items for later reading. Items are pushed directly to your Nexus 7 and also the cooperation between smartphone and tablet is excellent. If you have an interesting article on your smartphone and read just do not have time to read it all, you 'm right on Pocket add. The synchronization is automatic. Pocket is thus a great app that is also free.

Skype
The video app Skype may finally in the list of apps for the Nexus 7. Skype was already available in the Google Play Store, but since the end of November a special tablet interface that is also optimized for the Nexus 7. The new interface has a separate bar for your contacts and makes it (video) calls even easier. The new audio codec ensures that the person with whom you are calling also good to understand - even if the Internet connection is not extremely stable. Compliments for Skype.

Falcon Pro
Falcon Pro surprised a few weeks ago the Android world with a brand new and unique Twitter app. Falcon Pro is a fairly extensive and intuitively designed Twitter app for Android 2.2 Froyo and higher and offers a well designed timeline. Consider previews of various media (pictures, videos, and web pages), fast action and swipe between screens. The app refreshes itself automatically and remembers where you left off reading. This is especially useful when you have multiple Android devices used. Falcon Pro we do not have push notifications. This is not from the app, but the strict rules of Twitter that for many apps impossible to push messages.

Press
Press is a gorgeous app to all your RSS feeds in Google Reader to read them. But really gorgeous. With a big nod to iOS 'Reeder Press focuses on reading articles. Therefore used the app tranquil colors, uncluttered interface and especially very little fuss. Press has a separate tablet interface also for the Nexus 7 optimized and syncs directly with Google Reader. Please give permissions and the app is ready for use. With Press you can browse through all your feeds and text size and font of items change: always nice. There is a (small) price tag, because Press costs half euro. And that's for an app such quality absolutely no wasted money.

Flipboard
Flipboard sat a long time in the same boat as Skype: it was a nice app, but without special tablet interface. This was Flipboard, although the app on large screens are often looked fine, just not often. By the last update that was rolled out last week, is Flipboard for both small and large tablets suitable. The flipping between articles and all that cool content is an even finer experience become.

Chrome
Since Jelly Bean is the Android Open Source Project Chrome Browser replace. An improvement: you can keep all your bookmarks, settings, passwords and open tabs between different devices synchronize. Since the Jellybean update for Chrome browser also works very fast and are excellent pages on the 7 inch screen. Close a tab? Please. In addition, Chrome also has a handy incognito mode which you can browse anonymously. If you do some more functions and not necessarily the Chrome Sync want, you can always take a look at Dolphin Browser, Firefox or Opera for Android.

Snapseed
When Google Snapseed this year took over, it was immediately clear that the search giant its own advanced -- wanted to introduce. Snapseed works closely with the Google+ app and get a picture in an easy and understandable way to your own liking. And yes, it is also possible to use a filter (Instagram) and even add multiple filters over each other to explain. The interface of Snapseed for the Nexus 7 is also ideal: the app features on the left has a convenient bar with editing options while on the right the picture nice and big displays. Among the photographs are several actions listed, such as repair, storage and post on Google+. Snapseed was first paid app for iOS, but after the acquisition, Google app for both Android and iOS users free made available. A nice gift.
