The official Facebook app is largely awful, and we’re resigned to the fact that it will always be badly designed-that’s the inevitable consequence of having your apps built by committee.įor an alternative, try Fast for Facebook. Given the large number of great looking calendar apps around at the moment, we’d expect plenty more to embrace Material Design in the coming months. Put simply, it’s both beautiful and incredibly useful. We’re huge fans of full screen calendar widgets, and the Material-based Month is the best yet. The built-in notes tool is what helps lift Calc+ to a new level: you’ll no longer be left scrabbling around for a pen and paper if you need to jot down calculations as you go. There’s more to it than mere looks, however. It supports numerous skins and you can choose your own font, too, to make it look and feel like your own app. It’s a class of app where the interface is normally the last thing that gets considered-with Turbo Editor it is right at the heart of the app, and it is all the better for it.Ĭalc+ is a powerful and highly customisable calculator app. The app is a text editor design primarily for code. Turbo Editor is a perfect example of how Material Design can tun even the most utilitarian of apps into works of art.
The recent Material Design update will only help. With over half a million installs already, LocalCast is well on the way to establishing itself as one of the most important Chromecast apps. That content includes not only movies and photos, but PDFs as well, turning the app into an awesome productivity tool. With LocalCast you can stream content from your phone or tablet to your Chromecast connected TV. If you have got a rooted phone, you can view and edit system files in the root directory, and set file permissions as well.Ĭhrome has been updated to Material Design, but if you don’t want to use Google’s browser there are a couple of alternatives to check out.Ītlas puts privacy at the heart of its experience, it offers a ‘content-centric’ UI where the interface disappears completely for full screen browsing, and there’s even a dual-view mode via an in-app purchase that enables you to view two sites at the same time.Īlso take a look at NOW Browser, a lightweight and gesture-rich browser that is also fully equipped for the Material Design era. Sliding Explorer has the power where it matters most. It stands apart among a collection of apps that more often seem inspired by Windows 3.1 than cutting edge touch UI design. Sliding Explorer is not the most feature-rich file explorer for Android but it is the best looking by some margin.
