Hi guys,
You can just share here the very best apps for any useful utility. So that others will make use of it. I Have installed 28 apps as of now.
The very best one is 'aScreenshot' app. Simply by pressing long the 'Search' key(Navigator) it takes a screen shot and stores it on SD Card. I Just like it.

AirDroid can be used for so much more than typing stuff...
Adding music, deleting music.
Removing apps, adding apps.
Its really easy compared to hooking up a USB cord and going from there.
Photoshop Touch is incompatible, you need to sideload it. But do agree with a lot of them. Lightflow is a definite must, morequicklypanel is a good one but does take up a notification, and also for me Battery Widget Reborn is a quality app. great battery statistics

Hi guys,
I was looking for an app to rename multiple files (as I downloaded many .mp files on my mobile through website and their names were like: music1-WEBSITE.COM.mps, music2-WEBSITE.COM.mp3, etc) I wanted to remove all the -WEBSITE.COM from my directory using mobile itself.
I downloaded an app called: FILE TOOLS - using it you can simply rename the files in one go
Also to add if you are looking for missing cover arts, try this - COVER ART DOWNLOADER
OP updated..
42. BUTTON SAVIOR - you can use this App to simulate hardware keys on screen without having to root your device Recommend

Hi,
What are your must have apps and favorites for your Moto G. Post here and let us know what is nice, great, silly or just COOL!
Here are a few of my personal favs enjoy
------------------------------------------------------
NEWS APP - Flipboard Gorgeous flip and slide animations, excellent at compiling searched info into your very own personalized magazine
FILE MANAGER - File Manager (Explorer)
MUSIC - Poweramp (The king of the hill)
BATTERY WIDGET - Battery Widget Reborn (Includes proper battery % in the notification bar)
CLOCK - 3D Flip Clock (multi-touch programmable, weather, great look)
LAUNCHER - Nova (Not as flash as some launchers, but still great)
TEXT APP - 8SMS (Simple, crisp and clean, with nice clear pop up notification)
BARCODE SCANNER - ShopSavvy Barcode Scanner (Very quick at capturing scans and showing comparison prices on amazon etc.)
KEYBOARD - Google Keyboard (the swipe is gorgeous, it's quick and very very smart)
WALLPAPER APP - Zedge (includes ringtones and notification tones)
POWER CONTROL WIDGET - Power Toggles (Very customizable and quick)
SCREEN OFF - Screen Off and Lock (a great wee app I put on all my devices, touch and screen off) comes with various off animations but I always use retro tv
BEST COOL APP - Gravity Screen (automation at its coolest)
2nd BEST COOL APP - Light Flow Lite - LED Control (Set up different colours and flash rate and vibration for all your notifications)
LIVE TV (UK) - TVCatchup (Basically live UK tv channels BBC, ITV, C4 etc.. turns your phone into a portable tv)
PIE CONTROL - LMT (not verified for Moto G yet but I use it on my Nexus 5 and Note)
------------------------------------------------------
If I find any fabulous, new, must have apps I will post 'em here
MJ-12
I like Pulse over flipboard try it. ^_^
Google Newstand is pretty cool too.But it consumes too much data.

Live Score Addicts and The Football App are pretty great for football freaks.
I also love Feedly (news content) and Swiftkey (probably the best keyboard). I also like Greenify very much, but it's unuseful now because we have no root on the phone.. (unless unlocking the bootloader which I don't want to do now).
What's the battery life like with all of these apps installed? Also, anyone try the Google Experience Launcher over Nova for their launcher?
I like the Google Now feature, especially with the feature to be able to say "Ok Google" at any time on your home screen. Gravity Screen also seems like it'd waste a lot of battery.
Lightflow has low utility as our devices only has the white led...

i use Chronus for clock, calendar and weather, it's a really good app
Here are some to start off:
ES File Explorer is my favorite file managing app
Airdroid
Dynamic Notifications is worth a try
Evernote
Pandora
TuneIn Radio
Dropbox
Skydrive
Skype
i'm agree, Airdroid is Awesome !
i forget a precious apps : Llama - Location Profiles to automatically activate/deactivate wifi, sound, or other things.
Android Reverse Tethering - Presently, you are required to connect / disconnect to a wifi signal before running this utility.
Must have apps on my Moto G :
1) ES File Explorer
2) Titanium Backup ( if rooted )
3) Skype
4) Mx Player
5) LiveScore
6) Winamo Pro ( for shoutcast )
7) PowerAmp for local music
8) Adobe Reader
9) Ebay
10) Flashlight
11) KitKat Launcher
For battery percentage you should use "battery overlay percent" it shows the % you have left as overlay on your original battery. :good:
I also like "Power schedule", for turning bluetooth etc. on and off. :fingers-crossed:
my all time list:
smart launcher,
bsplayer,
dropbox,
es file explorer,
jetaudio,
keep,
my cloud player,
quickpic,
skype,
stumbleupon,
tunein radio,
uberhype

Sofascore<<< I'm convinced that this is THE best football/score app there is with a modern android design.
I use a sound through wifi a lot and definitely the best pair are: AirBubble for receiving (paid, or otherwise a lot of noise after half an hour of use) and Aoa for transmitting the signal from my Android TV stick.

I have used
Mobi to slow the power drain, fantastic app
Kasperski for security Free with my bank
Mobiledit to edit
Skype
Ebay
Dropbox
NavFree as an bril sat nav.
One issue i do have is the lack of Flash player for this phone, i have tried all links to do with it, but no joy, any ideas?
Install Dolphin Browser, that has flash on it.

It did not work for me,
However,
Doing this worked like a charm.
Save the Flash player.apk to Google drive (this has filters and converters)
Once saved open from your device and hey presto it installs Flash player to your phone.
Apparently it will work this way on other apk files that don't install normally
i will try to find the link where i got the tip from.
Curious, what default Android apps have you replaced with 3rd party apps? Launcher, dialer, SMS, camera, etc?
For me I'm all stock at the moment except for using Nova launcher. I'd like to see what other people are using, though!
Staying all Google default.

Camera - several including the modified stock one from here called Camera X
Music - Spotify, currently boycotting PM because of the ****ty device limit
Keyboard - SwiftKey, I spell so crappy with the AOSP and Google keyboards
News & Weather - the app for my local news

ProShot camera, I have Camera FV-5 as well but it didn't want to take pictures yesterday ?
SMS - Textra
Calendar - Touch Calendar
Email - K9
Launcher - Nova Prime
Alarm - Xtreme Alarm
Hangouts - Weechat (own server, Prosody, Bitlbee, weechat, weechat android relay)
- swiftkey keyboard (much better autocorrect)
- bluemail for exchange email (no device policy BS, but no calendar/contact sync)
- Lightning browser + (has adblock, so it ran much smoother than chrome when I was stock, but now I'm running Chrome+Adblock)

In regards to Play Music.. if you reach the limit to remove devices you can chat in with them and they will reset them back to 0 as a "one time courtesy" I've used that "one time courtesy" 4 times already.. Hahah

Messaging and Drive. I am using Textra and One Drive. I don't like Gmail but switching is a hassle so I stick with it. I just hate conversation view. I also use Nova simply because I do not like the Google Search bar on the homescreen. I used to just deal with it until they made it look all pre-school-like and started adding "Ok, Google" search suggestions right there on the homescreen.
