EDIT: UPDATED
HERE IS THE LIST OF MY TOP 20 USING THE FEEDBACK... JUST SENT IT TO CNET.
http://callip.wordpress.com/
Android apps are essential to the end-users experience. There are several categories of apps, but I am going to ignore some as they are limited in their scope (ie, apps that are games, or are only focused on those who root their phones).
.
I believe the average smartphone user is going to want to focus on improving the user interface (apps that are better than the stock apps that come on the phone), social apps (ie Twitter, texting, conferencing), and media apps (ie music, photos, news).
.
Below are those categories and the apps that I feel can improve the Android experience.
.
Disclaimer: There are hundreds of thousands of Android apps. This is in no way all inclusive and can change daily.
.
.
BETTER THAN THE STOCK ANDROID APPLICATIONS:
Text Messanging:
1 – Go SMS / Handcent SMS / Chomp SMS / Google Voice.
Okay, so I am starting off with THREE suggestions. Well, they are all better than the stock messenger, in their own regard. The average user can be complacent with the stock messaging app, it does send texts and MMS (ie pictures) just fine after all, but for the user who wants more, these are the apps to try.
To be fair, Google Voice should not be lumped in here as it does so much. This app should be on every Android device, period.
.
Browser:
2 – Dolphin Browser HD / Skyfire / Miren
Wait, three more suggestions? Yeap. Why? Because their all awesome in their own regard. The stock browser I find fantastic, it does what you need and does it well. Again though, Android allows the user to do a lot more.
Dolphin is great because of tabbed browsing, gestures (finger swipes to open bookmarks for example) and multi-touch.
Skyfire emphasizes playing video – even those that are not compatible with Android.
Miren is extremely fast, minimalistic UI, and a lot of neat features (scrolling with the volume button, swipes to go forward/backward, etc).
.
Gallery:
3 – QuickPic
I hate the stock android gallery. It is a CPU hog, slow to load and limited in features. It is frankly my least favorite part of Android. QuickPic by Alensw (there are several apps with that name) is amazing. It is extremely fast to load, you can exclude certain albums from displaying, very high resolution/image quality, and built in editing tools (ie cropping, rotating, etc).
.
The Launcher (your homescreen):
4 – ADW EX / LauncherPro / Go Launcher EX
There I go again, three suggestions. Most of these have similar features, but each have unique features. I prefer ADW EX because it allows me to use swipe gestures to open my notifications or to open a second hidden dock bar (a place to stash commonly opened apps). This allows my homescreen to be less cluttered. You can customize the layout a lot more as well (ie, instead of the standard 4×4 layout, you can make it as much as 10×10), overlap widgets, infinite scrolling, change animations, etc. The list of options go on and on. I strongly suggest trying a new launcher.
.
Camera:
5 – CameraZoom FX / Camera360 / Retro Camera / Little Photo
All of these apps have features above and beyond the stock camera. I prefer Retro Camera because it is free and it also has a very unique UI. I can take some pretty spectacular photos with it, with very little effort. I’m a sucker for black and white photos that have a vintage look though.
A reader also suggested Little Photo – which seems wildly popular but was not known by me – NICE!
.
Music:
6 – PowerAMP / UberMusic / TuneIn Radio / Google Music / Amazon MP3
Again, each have unique qualities. PowerAMP is great in that it plays most anything and has an equalizer. UberMusic is just sexy. TuneIn Radio allows you to stream music from all over the world. Google Music is great for its cloud capabilities – I love having my music sync and not be stored on precious memory space. Amazon MP3 also has cloud capabilities and offers free music.
.
Dialer / Contacts:
7 –Go Contacts EX
Not every Android has a smart dialer (when you start typing a phone number or contact name, it filters out your results). I find that hard to believe. Go Contacts EX not only has a great smart dialer, but the UI is great too. You can swipe left to right to change from the dialer to contacts for instance. The app can also be themed by simply downloading themes from the Market (most of which are also free)
.
Photos:
8 – TouchRetouch / PicSay Pro / Little Photo
We talked about the Camera and the Gallery, but what about editing photos? Ever have something in your shot that you wish wasn’t there. TouchRetouch is essentially a magic eraser for your photos. It’s pretty brilliant for an app on your phone and can easily remove objects.
PicSay Pro is more of an effects tool. It allows a tremendous amount of customization to your photos.
.
Keyboards:
9 – Swype Beta / Swiftkey X
Swype is hands down the most revolutionary keyboard out. I was afraid of moving to a phone with no physical keyboard, till I tried Swype. The beta is open and free, and it’s the best keyboard out, in my opinion. Do yourself a favor and register now. Most know that Swype allows you to move from letter to letter (not peck each letter), but it also has a tremendous amount of features. I’ve got a huge guide on this, please contact me if interested. Swiftkey X is another revolutionary keyboard in a different sense. It actively seeks the NEXT word you would type, and it learns as you type. So, the more you use it, the more accurately it can predict your next word. I’ve written entire sentences by simply selecting the word it thought I would use. These are both amazing and something I am certain an iPhone would love to have (avoiding some of the famous auto-correct iPhone typo blunders).
.
.
SOCIAL APPS:
Disclaimer: I despise FaceBook, but their app seems very feature rich with a decent UI.
.
10 – Plume
I’ve tried every twitter app out there, and none can touch the power of Plume. Feature rich it won’t let you down. Get this if you use Twitter, or start using twitter if you do not already! I’ve found it to be the best way to get brief bits of news information catered to me. So much so that it’s now my favorite feature of a smartphone.
.
11 – GroupMe
A completely free way to keep in contact with a group. Send text messages (with your data plan – not a traditional text message), share photos, conference calling, etc. This is a powerful app that could serve teenagers to the executive on business trips.
.
12 – Google+
Say what it really is, a FaceBook killer. Google hit a homerun with their social network in my opinion, and the app is feature rich. Want to have private conversations, or share with the world? Want to instantly sync photos taken from your phone? Want to use an alternate messenger or video chat with up to 9 people? Get it.
.
.
TRAVEL APPS:
13 – Google Maps
The features of Maps is pretty robust, but it is the Navigation that is its strong point in my opinion. I had two Garmin GPS units that became junk when I got my first Android phone. Not only did the Navigation work better (accuracy of turn by turn directions) from my phone, but the GPS signal was more accurate. You can also use Places to find and rate places and Lattitude to locate friends near you.
.
14 – Worldmate
Short and sweet, a must if you travel a lot. Forward your confirmation emails and it groups all of your itinerary into an incredibly simple package. Organize your plans, change your itinerary, share your itinerary with people, get flight alerts or check on a flight, get reminders, it locates hotels near you and even brings in the weather. Seriously, if you travel, try this!
.
.
MISCELLANEOUS APPS:
15 – Beautiful Widgets / Fancy Widgets
Another benefit of Android is the widgets – an easy to find and attractive thing to have on your homescreen with relevant information. I enjoy knowing the time and weather near me, and these apps give it accurately and in an attractive way that can be easily themed to my liking.
.
16 – Alarm Clock Plus
If you use your smartphone as your alarm, for lunch or sleep – this is the one to try. Feature rich and known as one of the best. This will be better than the stock Alarm on the phone and incorporates weather.
.
17 – Amazon’s Appstore
There are many nice features about Amazon’s Appstore, including their review process (added security perhaps over the Android Market), but lets be honest… its best feature is that they offer a paid app for free every day. Sometimes these apps are pretty amazing too. On more than one occasion I have went and bought the app in the official Android Market when I wanted to show my support to a developer.
.
18 – Chrome to Phone
If you use Android, there is a strong chance Chrome is your browser on your PC. This dandy of an app allows you to press the button on your PC’s browser (using the Chrome to Phone extension), and instantly that page/document/download link will show on your phone. Amazingly simply and powerful.
.
19 – Wheres My Droid
Are you one that easily misplaces their phone? Once installed, this app lets you send a text to your phone if it’s misplaced to help locate it. What if you left your phone on silent… what if you are not near it? Well, not only does it turn the volume to max (just in case), but it also lets you get the GPS coordinates if you REALLY misplaced it. A must have on any Android in my opinion.
.
20 – Astro File Manager
With Android you have the ability to view and move files around. This is the best way to manage your files, make backups of important files, open zip/tar files, allow downloads from the browser, etc. Frankly, every Android phone should come with a file manager, but they do not. Even if your phone did come with a file manager, there is a strong chance that it is not as good as Astro File Manager.
.
.
This list is no way inclusive. There are MANY apps that I use daily that did not get a mention. Perhaps I will make an extended list with more categories next time. I would appreciate your feedback. If you know someone new to Android, shoot them a link to this… I’d love to hear what someone new to Android thought of this list.

Google Music is great for its cloud capabilities – I love having my music sync and not be stored on precious memory space.
I'd say Go SMS is the best (real) sms app out there right now, however I am planning to try the whole wifi texting thing soon.
Widgets in general. Colorize Widget and Android Pro Widgets (?) make great alternatives to LP+ widgets, I personally can't do without some form of calendar widget.
Pageonce. Great way to keep track of bills and multiple bank accounts. I have a personal account, a school account and a savings account and it's great to be able to see them broken down or just all the money summed up (and all my bills to keep track of).
Soundhound (or Shazam). I prefer the first, I don't use it much, but when I do I'm glad to have it
Business Calendar is great if you need a feature rich calendar. It has a really nifty preview on the month view of any give day's events, among many other improvements.
Evernote. I love that one for grocery lists and general reminders.
Goggles for QR codes.
Convertr and Andy 86 for the students and math geeks out there, they save time like crazy.
For college students: Search your school in the market. One guy from my school made an app that logs us into school wifi automatically and provides shortcut links to commonly used school sites.
A flashlight app. For obvious reasons.
---
Most people who read this will have no need for root things like Root Explorer and Titanium or Voodoo control. I say leave them out.
Wow I have most of those apps plus about 100 more. I'm a crazy teen that likes to play games
Sent from my T959 using XDA Premium App
I use most of these apps, but I just came across a good one. Gemini App Manager, it's similar to Titanium Backup but free. Every rooted user should check this one out.
I guess, I won't support this thread anymore. Our device is not good anymore, and our Wildfire's can't use all new apps because of very slow Arm v6 processor and GPU lack. But anyway, if you have any good ideas - write it here.
I hope, that this thread was useful for everyone. Maybe I'll back, but I guess, it will happen only when I will buy new phone, so I won't back coming soon. Thanks for everything.
Hi. I had very much problems with apps. I didn't know which is better and which is really usable. So I will try to help you with apps - this is list of the best apps:
For all users
Everything for browsing:
Browsers:
1. Opera Mini: The fastest browser for Android, but it doesn't support flash, JavaScript and etc.
2. Skyfire: an alternative browser with flash support, but quite slow.
3. Opera Mobile: fastest browser if you using Wi-Fi. Supports flash and JavaScript.
4. Dolphin Browser® HD: Quite fast browser, but slower than browsers from Opera. But this browser is very customizable has very much Add-ons, themes and etc.
5. Dolphin Browser® Mini: Something between Opera Mini and Dolphin browser HD. This browser is slower than Opera Mini, but faster than Dolphin HD. Also it is more customizable than Opera Mini, but not as customizable as Dolphin HD.
Social:
1. Facebook: If you using Facebook you must have it.

6. TweetCaster for Twitter: The best Twitter app. Simple. Fast. Many features.
7. WhatsApp Messenger: With this app you can chat with your freinds for free (requires internet). Also there is a group chat.
Other apps for better browsing experience:
1. FeedR: An RSS reader that works as both an app and a widget.
2. 3G watchdog: This app shows your data usage. This app is the best, because it doesn't include Wi-Fi data and shows notification.
Customizing:
Launchers:
1. Go Launcher EX: I think it's the best Launcher. Many functions (I think the best is folders in app drawer, or hiding apps in app drawer), many themes. But it eats more RAM than other launchers.
2. Launcher Pro: This launcher is very fast, but not as customizable as Go Launcher. But if you want the best performance you shuold this launcher.
Homescreen:
1. Fancy widgets: The best free app for widgets (like htc style clock and etc.).
2. Beatiful Widgets: The best of the best widgets app (But this app costs).
3. PicSpeed HD Wallpapers: This app has very much high quality wallpapers.
Multimedia:
Music:
1. MixZing Media Player: If you don't like stock music player or just need more functions like equalizer and etc.
2. doubleTwist Player: One of the best (or maybe the best ) music player for Android.
3. MX Video Player: Really good video player. Customizable, nice and fast. P.s. you must download Arm v6 codec to use this player.
4. SoundHound: If you listening radio or just music from somewhere and you don't know name of the song - just open this app and it will show song that you're listening name. This app is better than Shazam if you are listening Electro, trance or something like this.
5. Shazam: Something like SoundHound, but it is better if you are listening rock, rap, pop and other non-electronic music.
6. TuneIn Radio: The best Internet radio app. If it works in Lithuania it must work everywhere .
Photos and videos:
1. Camera Zoom FX: Camera app which has very much effects and functions.
2. Vignette: One more camera app, which also has many effects and features.
3. PicSay - Photo Editor: I think it is the best photo editor for Android Phone.
4. QuickPic: This is video and photo gallery. It has more functions and it's faster than stock gallery.

1. TubeMate YouTube Downloader: With this application you can downlaod videos from YouTube.
2. Listube: With this app you can play music from youtube in backround. For example: You can listen music from youtube while you're browsing. P.S. This app also playing video, but you can't watch video in fullscreen.

4. Fake-Call Me: With this app you can make fake call, so you can can get out of awkward situations .
5. avast! Mobile Security: One of the best (or maybe the best) antivirus app for Android. Why? Because it has a lot of features, blocks many viruses and it is faster than others. There are many viruses for Android, so if you are downloading apps not only from Google Play - you should install this antivirus.

Oh, I almost forgot Brits! "Rainwatch" is the Uber weather app for us. It basically is a local cloud map. Which is what matters here
Thanks, is a great list of apps.
One thing I would ask, is can apps be rated for how speedy or laggy they are on the wildfire.
For example GO SMS is lovely, particularly with its flip screens but I am using Pansi SMS and it is much faster, and has a less cramped text box.
A few apps the I really love that worked really well on the wildfire are :
Beyond podcast
Gtasks
Flext9 voice recognition software, there was the occasional glitch on WiFi, one time out of 10 that dictation would fail, fine on 3G . rocksolid since rooted.
Could moderators make this thread sticky?

Doubts on a sticky mate your not even in the correct section,would be more suited in the themes and apps section,but goodluck.

I didin't forget XDA
13. Tapatalk: With this app you can go to some forums. For example with Tapatalk you can go to XDA forum. Also there are many other forums.
Apps2rom works well to move apps to ROM memory instead of sd. It also works for apps that can't be moved to sd. Nicely frees up space using faster internal memory. Only app I found that didn't like this was spotify.
Couple this with titanium backups new option to move dalvick data to ROM and you free up a lot.
i used gtasks up to now, but i've found a new app (now featured on market) called any.do. very functional, synces with google tasks, has great widgets.... all the best
Droid wall, advanced task killer, xda, superuser elite, SD maid pro, titanium backup root, app brain, appy geek and of course my favorite HTC app teeter
sent from my steroid powered, cyanogenmod filled wrecking machine! using xda app.
Nice thread! I'm downloading Pansi SMS now, I've used Handcent and Go SMS Pro, but they are both slow
Some of my favorite apps (that are not already in the list in the TS): Android Assistant, Quickpic, My Data Manager, Plume, Airdroid, No-Frills CPU control, ADW Launcher EX, and more
Oh, and don't use task killer apps. It's integrated in Android since 2.2 and using extra task killers only slows your phone down.
Excellent list, thank you
After long long time... Update . I added more apps and now these aps are sorted. P.S. Moderators, please move this thread to HTC Wildfire Themes and Apps and make it sticky. Thank you very much .
It's a decent list of things that work well on wildfire, although it's missing a few different launchers which imo definitely deserve to be up there with go launcher, adw, launcher 7, 360, espier and I'm pretty sure there's more, also there's 2 or 3 threads already on this subject so what exactly stands yours apart from the others to deserve it to be stickied other than the fact you've categorized it?

I think my thread better than others because all the best apps are in one post. In another thread (name is share your apps whithout you can't live or something like this) all apps is in different posts and it is not sorted so, it is difficult to find app that you really need. Also in this thread I explained what every app does. So... Of course I didn't say that you must make it sticky. So moderators just can move it to other forum. But I hope moderators will make it sticky. Sorry for poor english :/.

Go!Chat for Facebook
I didnt really used to talk to that much people on fb that much via messaging on a regular basis but i recently started talking to someone and wanted to receive notifications so long story short
Facebook app apparently doesn't give messaging notifications
Facebook messenger worked great the day I downloaded it then stopped the next day I kept checking to see if it was getting killed but wasn't just didn't wanna give notifications (why Facebook whhhy!)
Friendcaster is bad at any notifications all together so this was just 1 of them if I wanted to get proper notifications I'd need the pro version
Friendcaster Chat could only message people who were online and by online I mean on a computer if there on a phone won't work
this was the only 1 I've tried that worked

One Browser - a very nice browser indeed with good easy-to-use features, best I have tried yet and free!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS50ZW5jZW50LmliaWJvLm10dCJd
Cerberus anti-theft - yes it is paid app but worth it as the lifetime license covers 5 devices for less than £3 and it offers functions not available with Lookout Antivirus and similar apps - highly recommended.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5sc2Ryb2lkLmNlcmJlcnVzIl0.
Astro File Manager - excellent file manager with built in tools like App Backup, Task Killer, integration with cloud storage like Dropbox and much more - well worth the adverts to get a great app for free!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tZXRhZ28uYXN0cm8iXQ..
Moon+ reader - superb book reader for .epub files and much more, currently not on Play store due to dirty tactics by another dev with an ebook app...more details on his site, download link below. If you can I would recommend paying for this one to get rid of the ads, well worth it and there is constant dev support but the free one works great too )
http://www.moondownload.com/download.html
TTS - IVONA Amy (GB English) voice beta and TTS HQ- both currently free while in Beta and working great, especially in combination with Moon+ Reader Pro  Also works with GMaps and several more voices/languages are available free too.

RAC Traffic - UK only RAC Traffic shows the nearest traffic problem to you, or by region via a Google map, has been accurate and useful so far in 4 weeks of use - and it's free!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ult#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsInJhY1RyYXZlbC5hcHAiXQ..
Met Office Weather Application - UK only Sick of your weather wiget giving you incorrect info? If you live in the UK then this is the best weather app around! Some text is very small on the Y but you get all the weather warnings, radar maps etc and it's accurate...most of the time.

Free Games I like...
Jewels - The classic match-3 game - now with prizes through "pocketchange" system (items for other games)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5taGdhbWVzLmpld2VscyJd
Jewels Legend - A more elaborate jewels game with over 300 levels and powerups etc
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEwOSwiY29tLmdhbWUuSmV3ZWxzTGVnZW5kIl0.
Jewels Star - More than 350 levels of sparkly gem matching goodness...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLmdhbWUuSmV3ZWxzU3RhciJd
Furries - This is just an addictive little physics game where you have to catapult cute "furries" as far as you can...use trampolines and planes to get further but avoid the barrels! Note: If you block the ads this game will crash. To get to the ingame Shop wait for the advert to load and then carefully tap and scroll the page up (tap at the edge not on the ad!) - it only scrolls a tiny bit but when you can see the white line at the bottom of the screen you are good ) Tap the white line and you will get to the shop - damn the small screen on the Y lol

I doubt because this phone couldn't even run zeonia 4 (at least not that I know of) and the trend with devs is to improve graphics making it even less likely they completely forget about armv6 processors and QVGA screens

thanks for apps
First thing first if i helped you in any way shape or form please thank this thread.
This is all of the apps that I think are a "must have" for anyone with a Galaxy Tab 2 (7 or 10.1)
1. Rom toolbox: *REQUIRES ROOT* This is the best app for any one who likes to mod or customize the look/ feel of their tablet. It has all the features you could want wrapped up into one app.
Features: Install roms and themes like Cyanogen Mod. App and data backup. Root file browser (best file browser in my opinion).Boot logo changer.Build prop editor, app manager which allows you to delete bloatware (stock apps) and much much more!
There is a paid version which is 5 dollars and is well worth it believe me.
Lite version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5qcnVtbXkubGliZXJ0eS50b29sYm94Il0.
2. XDA Premium HD: This is an app that allows you to browse and surf XDA developers without having to use a browser. Also this app is specifically designed for tablets!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quoord.xdapad.activity&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5xdW9vcmQueGRhcGFkLmFjdGl2aXR5Il0.
3. Android Tweaker :*REQUIRES ROOT* This is a must if you really wanna get the most out of your tablet. This app will do everything from increase battery life to make your tab much faster. This app is will also make mods to custom roms too!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.igio90.androidtweaker.free
4. Google Currents: Wanna follow all your favorite news/sports/car articles? This is the app for it. This allows you to follow and read articles for whatever your interests are. So for me I follow things like android central, cnet, motor trend, and many more. Also this app allows you to read articles offline this is very useful. For example your about to leave the house and you have a long car ride. You can go into currents and sync all the latest articles so you can read them offline or without internet connection later. This app is free too!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.currents
5. Nova Launcher: One of the best things about android is the ability to customize your device to the way it suites you. This is a app that replaces the home screen launcher and replaces it with a better more with more customization options. There is a free and paid version.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher
6. Spotify: This is an app that allows to stream music to your mobile device. (There is also a pc version which is awesome) THIS APP IS 10 TIMES BETTER THAN PANDORA! You do have a limited amount of skips, but you can create millions of stations and each station has 6 skips. So for example my favorite band is Avenged Sevenfold. I could create a station and it will play me songs similar to what type of music Avenged Sevenfold plays. This has helped me discover many new bands. Also its free and doesnt require root.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotify.mobile.android.ui
7. Google Drive: If your a student like me this is definitely a must have app. This apps allows you to create documents and spreadsheets. Also it syncs with what you made on the computer. For example say tomorrow I have to read a speech in front of my class as an assignment. I can type the document on the computer and when it comes time to do my speech I read from my tablet instead of from boring old paper. And its even better because your potentially helping the environment.:good:
You can also use this app for cloud storage!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.docs
8.HD widgets: Widgets are really cool but the stock ones are really boring. This app allows you to change the color and theme of the widgets to what you like. There are tons of widgets to choose from too.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cloudtv.hdwidgets
9. Swift Key Tablet Keyboard. The stock keyboard is very boring and hard to use at times. This app replaces the stock keyboard and allows you to change the look and feel of the keyboard to the way you like.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey.tablet.full
Lastly what do you guys think? If you have other apps that you like tell us what they are and why.
GestureControl:

Many of your linked apps, unfortunately, are not in active development.
Lightweight apps are preferred because they indicate efficient coding, and also unlikely to bundle unwanted stuff.
I love simple and minimalist apps, but if they are too basic, I would look elsewhere.

Best Android Apps...
The list presented here is a collection of excellent apps (at the time of writing this) that excel in what they do (and supposed to do). They may or may not fit into the requirements of everyone perfectly. So choose whatever works best for you...

Karma Firewall is a fav about 5.1 mb.

Some apps can be very compact, others not.
ApkExport is about 313 kg and it's sublime.
Karma Firewall is a fav about 5.1 mb. Uses almost no battery.
PDMDM package disabler is at 5.86 mb and without it this 10+ be unusable.
Poweramp is weighing in at a hefty 60 mb.
It's versatility, configurability, playlists, audio processing capabilities and ease of backup/restore blow me away. I continue to find new, useful features and it's rock solid stable.
All time favorite HD music player.
Sometimes you need to trade off size for functionality/availability.
Could Poweramp be smaller? No doubt but nothing else comes close to it and it isn't a bad behaving apk with relatively low battery usage.
@blackhawk
Thanks for the apps can you please give their play store links.
Also APK export I found on https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ses.app.apkexport does not have Split APKs support.
I can't find the PDMDM.

What is special about APK Export? It isn't under active development. Plus what it says it can do, is something most file managers can also do.
Check Alpha Backup Pro.
It was buggy on Android 11 the last time I tried, but the app has received several updates since then.

When it comes to Playlists, nothing beats PlayerPro! This app also keeps a backup of your system playlists, so in case they go missing/ corrupt, they will be safely (automatically) restored.

ApkExport saves copies of all my apks. I've done a reload using all saved apps by it and no Playstore. It works every time for me.
Split apks you mean like the Good Lock family or MiX? Saves them too.
Zero ads, complete freeware... good as it gets.
APK Export (Backup & Share) - Apps on Google Play
Manage and extract your apps.

It's hard to find PD MDM sometimes; Google search deliberately screws with it.

Split APKs are apps which came with multiple APKs for example install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ng_labs.agecalculator and extract the apk, uninstall the app and try install from apk. You can't.

Interesting, that's the same issue I had with other similar export apks until this one.
Not sure but I have 72 user apks backed up that successfully restored on the last reload. I'm running on Pie. It could be more Q crap or a misconfiguration.
On my SD card I simply punch the apk and it loads.

Where does this app show that info (like which app is part of a bundle)?
I don't backup using this, so not sure.
I use AppChecker which displays app info neatly, with a mark on those that are part of a bundle.
Also, will APKs (which are part of a bundle) extracted using the usual method with a file manager surely NOT be restored unless the whole bundle is backed up?

In 'Backup' tab, after you select destination directory, it will show bundled apps by default.

Yes. We have to use the app I have given to backup and install those.
Added some browsers, music players, video players, calculators to the list.
