New apps are constantly appearing in the android scene, so if you want to make sure you’re always ahead of the crowd, then make sure you downloaded the latest additions to the app market. Here are just a few suggestions of great apps which have been released during 2011:

Trip Advisor City Guides

Trip Advisor has long been the website of choice for frequent travellers, and now it is available in app-form too. The City Guide offers reviews of tourist hotels and hotspots, as well as useful maps, all of which are available to view without an internet connection – perfect for anyone who is often abroad.

HowStuffWorks

HowStuffWorks is an app which informs the user of, well, how stuff works. In the same way that someone looking to understand playing poker might visit OnlinePoker.com, this app provides easy-to-understand on the engineering behind a variety of everyday objects and ideas. If you are forever curious about the inner-workings of just about everything, then this is the app for you.

Blogger

Again, this is already extremely popular as a website, but it is new within the world of apps. With more and more people keen to update their blogs whilst on the go, this is one of the most useful apps to have installed. For those who aim to make a profit from blogging, then being able to update regularly can prove essential to achieving such commercial success.

AllSport

If you are something of a fitness fanatic, then this app offers a great way to chart your progress in a range of activities. Count the calories you burn or the distance you travel, and store the data on your phone to used as a point of comparison at a later date. You can even share your progress directly with Facebook.
