Android has over 450,000 apps. With so many apps out there, app discovery (aka finding new and useful apps) is extremely difficult. With our Android Apps of the Day initiative, dotTech aims to change that. Everyday we post three apps, allowing our readers to discover new apps, daily. Enjoy!

Apps for April 5, 2012
Cymera
Cymera is a camera app and photo editing app combined into one. With Cymera users snap photos and then apply edits to them such as crop, rotate, add filters, add “beauty”, add “decorations”, adjust brightness, adjust contrast, etc. The camera feature of Cymera allows users to take basic shots using either the front of back camera and flash (if applicable); in addition there are other modes such as double mode fisheye, sprocket, and more. If you opt to create a Cymera account (creating an account is free and not required, if you don’t want it), you can share your photos with friends via Cymera’s online photo sharing website.

Attachments [Gmail Attach]

To use Attachments [Gmail Attach] all you have to do is select “Attach Files” from the menu that pops up when you go to attach files in Gmail; then browse and select the file you want, and like magic it is attached to your email.

Save my Attach
If you use Gmail on your Android, you may have noticed Gmail doesn’t let you download some attachments types. (I’m not sure why Google put in this restriction.) Save my Attach is an app that allows you to circumvent Gmail’s attachment downloading restriction and download any and all attachments you receive. To download a Gmail attachment with Save my Attach, all you have to do is hit the Preview button for the attachment you want to download, select Save my Attach from the menu that pops up, select where you save the attachment (you must type in the folder path — Save my Attach does not have a file browser), pick a name for the, and save. Save my Attach also works with other email apps, using the Open button.

dotTechies: We have tested all the apps listed above. However, Android Apps of the Day articles are not intended as “reviews” but rather as “heads-up” to help you discover new apps. Always use your best judgement when downloading apps, such as trying trial/free versions before purchasing paid apps, if applicable.
