AppLock is a free Android app that comes with a lot of options.  You can pay for it, get premium features, and no advertising.  Or you can view advertising, get the premium features, and not pay anything.  Finally, you can use it ad-free, but without premium features.  The choice is yours.  The app itself is a simple, but powerful app that allows you to lock your apps up tight with passwords so that snooping eyes can’t see them.  This is great if you have nosy roommates, kids, or if you just want some piece of mind.  You can use the app for free with or without ads (your choice).  The ad-free version has a few features missing, but the ads will unlock those features as though you paid for it.

Google Opinion Rewards is easily one of the best free Android apps in the Google Play Store.  To use this app, you simply download and install it, then open it one time.  After that, the app will periodically notify you to ask you some questions.  You’ll get credit for use in the Google Play Store every time you answer a survey.  That credit can go toward buying yourself apps or games in Google Play.  It’s a great way to expand your collection without spending real money.  At worst, everyone should have this app installed.

3.  Zedge

Zedge is pretty much a one-stop-shop for things like wallpapers, ringtones, notification tones, and alarms.  There is a very large selection of all of those things available in a variety of genres including fantasy, mainstream, funny, and pretty much whatever else you can think of.  Zedge’s users add most of the content themselves.  Thanks to this, there is quite a bit of variety.  There is also a premium option for wallpapers and those are pretty decent.  Walli and Wallpapers HD are slightly better options for wallpapers, but the premium content helps Zedge out a lot.  The premium stuff is optional, though.

4.  BitWarden Password Manager

BitWarden Password Manager is one of a few decent free password manager apps.  It works like most password managers.  You get a vault with all of your usernames and passwords.  You can store as many as you want without worry and retrieve them as needed.  In addition, the app has 256-bit AES encryption and it is entirely open source.  It hits all of the check-boxes for a good, free password manager.  KeePassDroid is another excellent option in this space, but we like Bitwarden’s UI just a little bit more.

5.  Temp Mail

Temp Mail, it’s super easy to get a disposable, temporary e-mail address that helps you combat spam in your primary email address.  Basically, you should use Temp Mail when you sign up for a service you’re planning to use only once.  All you need to do to start using your temporary e-mail address is open the Temp Mail app and choose one that works for you.  They are not exactly easy to remember as they are generated as a random association of letters, but you have the option of Copying the address so you don’t have to type it manually.
