Android applications are programs designed for the Android smartphone that allow users to perform a wide variety of tasks that standard Android system software do not support. Android applications consist of games, translation services, GPS based location services, communication programs, troubleshooting software, and much more. While many Android applications cost several dollars each, many more are completely free and can be downloaded from the Internet via the Android itself.

 

How to Install Android Apps

Installing Android applications is incredibly easy as users can do so from the same menu that they are downloading the application from. While most Android applications are downloaded from the Android Market, hundreds of other Android applications can be found on various third party websites such as AndroidPit.com. When a user chooses the application that he/she wishes to install on his/her Android, he/she can simply click the “Install” button found at the bottom of the page and approve any permissions it requires. The application will then be automatically installed on the Android smartphone.

 

Android Market

The Android Market is a collection of both commercial and free applications that Google provides that are specifically designed for the Android smartphone. The Android Market consists of thousands of different games, practical software, and other programs that can be easily installed on an Android at the click of a button. The Android Market is the official website for Android applications and allows users to install one commercial application for free each day.

 

AndroidPit.com

AndroidPit.com is a third party provider of Android applications, most of which are free. It is similar to the Android Market, but Google does not sponsor it. AndroidPit.com consists of a wide variety of Android applications, some of which can be found in the Android Market and some of which other Android users create. While AndroidPit.com does not provide users with a free commercial Android application each day, it does host many commercial applications from the Android Market that other Android users share for free.
