List of my favourite Android apps
Fabian Piau | Thursday January 9th, 2014 - 08:49 PMThis article is getting a bit old and the list of applications I am using has evolved. For example, I no longer use Firefox, but a simplified and lighter version: Firefox Focus.
I want to share with you the Android apps that I’m used to using.
Don’t hesitate to post a comment if your favorite app is missing and… Happy New Year, all the best for 2014!
