TOP 3 Free Android Apps I Actually Use Every Day

Published: December 06, 2025

Let’s be real – the Play Store is a mess. You install something that claims to be "free," and a minute later, you're bombarded with full-screen ads or requests to link your credit card. It annoys me too. So today, I'm keeping it short and sweet: here are 3 Android apps I installed "just for a moment" but have kept on my phone ever since. They are lightweight, do exactly what they're supposed to do, and don't get on your nerves.

1. WallSwipe – Because I’m too lazy to hunt for wallpapers

I change my background often, but I hate digging through hundreds of tiny thumbnails. WallSwipe works a bit like Tinder, but for your home screen. Like it? Swipe right. No? Swipe left. It’s brilliant in its simplicity.

The best "gimmick"? The Auto Wallpaper Changer. I set the interval to 24h, and every morning I have a fresh, new view on my screen without clicking anything. And importantly – the photos are from Pexels, so 4K quality is the standard here, not a paid "Premium" option.

2. Video2GIF – For making memes on the fly

I often record something on my phone and want to send it to friends on WhatsApp or Telegram, but not as a heavy video file—just a quick GIF. Most converters in the store either butcher the quality or slap a giant watermark right in the middle.

Video2GIF Converter is clean. You upload a video, trim the part where the cat falls off the sofa, and boom—you have a GIF. You can speed it up, slow it down, add some text. That’s it. No philosophy, it just works. I use this way more often than I thought I would.

3. Crazy Fruits – The perfect "bus stop game"

I don't have time for games where I have to build a village for 3 years. I look for something for those 5 minutes of waiting in line. Crazy Fruits is a throwback to the old days. Pixel Art graphics (I love this style) and a simple rule: move platforms so the fruit falls safely to the bottom.

It sucks you in more than you'd expect because you just want to beat your own high score. And most importantly – it doesn't drain the battery like all those modern 3D games.

• Why it's worth it: Zero stress, pure arcade fun.
