Want to listen to music anytime anywhere. Spotify is best suited for that. You just have to create a user account on the Spotify app and then you can listen to any song you want. It also has a feature that curates the best songs especially for you in multiple playlists. You will also get the option to listen to songs of a particular genre. It removes all the hard work of downloading songs from websites for listening to music.

Furthermore, the playlist which you have created on your Android smartphone can be enjoyed on any device like a computer and tablet. This made me add Spotify to the list of must-have android apps.

WPS Office :

WPS Office is a free all-in-one office suite in which you can work with Word, Powerpoint, Excel and PDF files. Whether you want to use it for study purposes or office work it is an excellent choice for both types of tasks.

A DuckDuckGo Search engine is not an ordinary search engine, instead, it is a private search engine that does not track your searches. And this search engine comes built-in to this privacy browser.
