Digitize your documents with CamScanner. CamScanner
Several apps let you use your phoneʼs camera to digitize paper documents, but few are as slick and powerful as CamScanner. It can crop and enhance images in seconds, leaving you with a digital document thatʼs aligned and easy to read—even if your phoneʼs camera isnʼt the best. You can join documents together, add your own annotations on top, and then share the result as a PDF or JPG.

IFTTT lets multiple accounts connect with each other. David Nield
IFTTT, or If This Then That, ties together different apps: When a trigger happens in one service (“if this”), then an action results in another (“then that”). You can integrate a whole bunch of programs, including social media, web apps, hardware devices, online services, smart home platforms, and more.

The app works particularly well with an Android device: You can use it to change your phoneʼs wallpaper every day, back up your SMS messages to email, post to multiple social networks at the same time, or switch off your Wi-Fi when you leave the house. This is just an idea of whatʼs possible—IFTTT has many more abilities for you to explore.

Customize Androidʼs appearance with Nova Launcher. Nova Launcher
On an Android, you can customize the appearance pixel-by-pixel in a way that you just canʼt do on iPhones. Specifically, launcher apps—like the excellent Nova Launcher—let you completely reskin the design of Android, redoing everything from the home screen layout to the details of individual app icons.

Once you install Nova Launcher on your phone, it lets you add more icons to the home screen, change their size, tweak text and label settings, introduce more gesture controls, completely reskin your phone with a new theme, and much more. If you shell out for the Prime upgrade, it piles on even more visual customizations.
