Most Android users get their apps from the Android Market on their smartphone or tablet. Other users get them from websites or forums where you can run into rogue apps that can spread viruses or steal data from your device.
With all the available apps out there it can be difficult to manage all of them and know what apps are safe and which apps to avoid.The AppBrain Android Market is a website and application that is used to find new apps, manage existing apps as well as find information about Android devices, statistics and other useful information.
With the AppBrain Android application you can do things such as:
- Manage your apps
- Get new app recommendations
- Install new apps
- Uninstall apps
- Search for apps
- Create shortcuts
- Share apps with friends
- Update your installed apps all at once
The AppBrain website will give you information on things like information on the most popular apps for certain demographics, the top rated apps and the latest apps in the Android Market. You can also get statistics on things such as the total number of apps in the Android Market, apps by rating, apps by download and the top Android devices. The website is broken down into categories including games, productivity, communication and entertainment.
You can download the free AppBrain app to your device and create an account or sign in with your Gmail, Twitter or Facebook account. Once you make an account you can use the AppBrain website or application to check out new apps and read reviews and get recommendations for new apps.
The AppBrain app is broken down into 4 categories.
Manage and Sync shows you your installed apps and lets you know which ones have updates available. If you tap on the Execute changes button it will update all your apps at the same time with a little interaction from you to approve the updates. Tapping on the red X will uninstall that particular app from your device. The Sync button will sync your device with the AppBrain website if you chose to install an app off the site. Sharing will let you share your installed apps with others via messaging, email, Facebook and so on. Then others can see what apps you have installed on your device and get information on that app or choose to install it on their own device.
Browse apps will let you search for applications by name or category as well as install them to your device. If you find an app on the website you want to install simply click on the Install or Add to list button and then it will be sent to your device. Then when you open the AppBrain app on your device and sync it, your new app will be there ready to be installed. If you aren't at your computer then you can browse and install apps from your device just like you would do on the website. The website also has an option to scan an installation barcode right from the site.
Recommended apps are just that, recommendations for you based on what you have installed on your phone. Explore users is where you can follow friends on AppBrain as well as Facebook to see what apps they are using and what they recommend.
