Best HTC EVO Android Apps. The hottest and most anticipated Android smartphone of 2010, HTC Evo 4G for Sprint, has finally launched for mass consumer purchase! That said, we’d like to recommend more than 30 of the best Android apps and games for your Evo. Each link has a full Android app review with screenshots, some videos and links to download the apps and games. Let’s get started:

Android Apps Just for Evo:

We know you’ll love the Qik HD and YouTube HD built-in apps, but fring caters to the HTC Evo in a special way as it is the world’s first Android app to offer free video calling via Skype using the front facing camera.

Classic Hot Android Apps:

Here’s some oldie but goodie Android Apps that have been around for quite some time because they’re quite frankly good apps!

Besides hanging out on AndroidTapp.com try AppBrain Market Sync which lets you find Android Apps from their website and sync downloads to the phone plus apps recommendations , manage and search files on your SD Card with Astro File ManagerTwidroid was one of the first and still reigning Twitter clients for Android, ShopSavvy lets you scan all kinds of barcodes to get better pricing on products you may be overspending on, and Exchange by Touchdown still holds the benchmark for Microsoft Exchange email on Android.

High-End Android Games:

There are plenty of fun and addictive games, however we’re sticking to the high-end 3D games you should buy for your high-end Evo!

Many titles from Gameloft are good provided you get the ones from the Android Market as going through their website still is a nightmare; which is the reason why we’re only recommending one thus far, the fast paced 3D racer Asphalt 5. Another awesome 3D racer is Raging Thunder 2, high octane 3D accelerometer game Speedx 3D, dogfight aircraft battles with Armageddon Squadron, slug out online homerun derby with Homerun Battle 3D, shoot it out with Hockey Nations 2010 and throw in some brain twisting horror suspense with Mystique. Chapter 3: Obitus.

Pssst… wanna see video previews of 100 Android games? Check this out!

Drop Your Jaw WOW Factor Android Apps:

These apps top almost everyone’s list even Verizon’s DROID App Showcase because they show sheer innovation in bending possibilities with mobile applications:

Shazam listens to and tells you the song playing, Google Goggles sees your search and tells you what it is, Google Sky Map lets you see the stars from anywhere anytime… literally, and Layar Reality Browser uses augmented reality to convey a host of information, facts and even social on camera.

Music Apps:

There are a ton of cool music and multimedia apps but we’ll only list a few of the coolest:

The HTC music player pwns Android’s default music player but doubleTwist Player and ³ (aka Cubed) Music Player pwns them. Here are some awesome streaming music players that you don’t need to sync any MP3 tracks; Pandora RadioSlacker RadioRhapsody Music or Last.fm Personal Radio.

Trick Out That Evo Apps:

The HTC Sense user interface with huge digital clock, Contacts, Twitter, and Facebooks widgets are extremely cool on the Evo, but if you want to trick out your phone’s home screen… try a few of these home screen replacement apps:

aHome and Open Home have hundreds of themes and icons packs in the Market, SlideScreen takes the most unique approach of streaming email, calendar, text messages and more to your home screen… no need to open several apps when it’s all in one place. GDE Home puts a different interactive twist on the home screen, and ADW.Launcher gives granular controls over your home screen and app launcher features.

    Check out Sprint Family Locator client app. Search for SFL on android market. I think it’s the only Sprint specific app there. You need to have an account on sprint.com/familylocator in order to use the app.

    • Jason Norment says:

      @sprintuser Great app for keeping track of your family or lost phones. SmrtGuard is an app that works well with locating and tracking devices too so you should give that a try.

  2. sprintuseralso says:

    The Evo comes with google maps which has latitude. Latitude will show the location of other cell phones too.

    • sprintuser says:

      It is different. SFL uses network service and can locate any phone on your account, not just with Latitude.Even dumb phones.

  3. zulissani says:

    htc evo- how to view Geovision survelliance playback or live – logmein iginition on HTC EVO is it available

  4. Jason says:

    Subsonic is a pretty sweet Music app.

  5. Roy says:

    That Qik application as well as the Fring are a piece of junk!! The picture freezes all the time and the sound quality is very poor. Those apps still need alot of work done to them!

    • Jason Norment says:

      @Roy: I know this is a MUCH delayed response however I felt it was needed. Qik and Fring are very similar apps, however, Fring allows cross-platform video chat while Qik does not. I’ve experienced good quality calls on both using 3G, 4G, and Wifi without much effort. I do agree that on launch (just as everyone else knows) that the Qik application didn’t do what it was supposed to do. Being able to use it on networks outside of wifi is what gives Android a step ahead of iPhones!

    • chris says:

      tango is the best app for video chat. it even sorts its own list of people in your phone who already has it

  6. Dave says:

    iphone has netflix when will HTC have it????

    • Jason Norment says:

      @Dave: That same question has been asked on many different sites. I haven’t been able to find a solid answer for it. It looks like they are definitely considering the development of an Android app but once I found out more I’ll definitely let you know. In the meantime, Youtube is planning doing mainstream film rentals. Read more here: http://ow.ly/2wQXe

  9. My favorite Android application is Flash Card Maker Pro. I use this app to improve my memory and prepare for presentations. It is the only flash card application that is optimized for Android pads, tablets, and mobile phones. Flash Card Maker Pro uses advanced gesturing and text-to-speech capability providing a fully interactive experience for users of all ages. This multi-sensory teaching tool uses all pathways of learning (visual, auditory, kinesthetic or seeing, hearing, touching) simultaneously, in order to enhance memory and learning. Use Flash Card Maker Pro on your Android phone or tablet to teach children how to read and do math, to help students study for exams, or to prepare for an upcoming presentation.

    Tell me and I forget, show me and I remember, involve me and I understand. (Chinese Proverb)

    Recycle your old paper flash cards and download the latest digital version today! Flash Card Maker Pro has the following highlighted features:

    1. Create Your Own Flash Cards
    2. Share Flash Cards with Other Users
    3. Download Decks of Cards from Developer Website
    4. Text-to-speech Audio Playback
    5. Built-in Study Timer
    6. Randomize or Change Order of Playback
    7. Swap Question and Answer
    8. Change Card Colors and Text Size
    9. Navigate Between Cards using Touch Gestures
    10. Backup Database to SD Card

    Does anybody have any suggestions for an antivirus app?

  11. Bidder says:

    I agree with Roy. After many tries just last month, I was frustrated and disappointed with Qik. “The picture freezes all the time and the sound quality is very poor.,” is exactly correct. I won’t continue to waste my time.

    • I had a good response with using it yesterday with someone who just received an Evo. Granted my list doesn’t update to show when someone is online and currently able to be called. I noticed on their new device they had this capability. Refreshed my contact list, cleared the data for the app and still no response. Not sure what’s going on with that but I may have to reinstall the app to get it to work properly.

    pues miren el htc evo es una basura para la reproduccion de videos en you tube yo tengo uno y de verdad que es una basura para los videos aun que es muy bueno para otras cosas pero para otras es pesimo . Es mejor el (samsung moment )ese si es un buen telefono para reproductor de video te carga los videos demaciado rapido y tambien te permite subir videos a facebook cosa que el maldito EVO no deja jajaja

    • ¿por qué desea copiar videos en Youtube? ¿Está tratando de descargar los videos desde su dispositivo?

      • Gissela Zarate says:

        I have tried to download videos from my EVO to youtube and I can’t. I didn’t see the option to download it to facebook that is why I tried to use YouTube. Is there something I can do to be able to?
