Most of the default cameras offer very less options for beautification, especially the smartphones with stock Android or the Google Camera app. Less to worry, "YouCam Perfect - Selfie Pro" offers most of these missing features along with quality photo output. Selfie Blink Fix is one impressive feature in this app and works great.


1. MX Player

Most important app which i feel Android is missing out is the Video player. MX Player is the most popular app in the market for playing almost any video format and large size files. MX Player is becoming increasingly popular and a must have app on every smartphone. It also supports subtitle.
