One of the great advantages of smartphones is that they’re able to run productivity software giving users access to a wide range of functionality including viewing and editing office documents, creating and organizing plans, and accessing powerful file sharing services. In this blog post, I’ll look at three top apps that can help you get things done with your Google Pixel 3a smartphone including WordPress, Google Keep, GDrive Pro

Best Apps For Google Pixel 3a

Remember Your Songs on Google Pixel: Now Playing History
Now Playing History app
What We Like
Connect your favorite music player to the app and redirect when you want to play a song.
What We Don’t Like
It takes a few moments for songs to save in the app.
To complement the standard Now Playing feature on Pixel devices that helps users identify a song playing nearby, the Now Playing History app keeps a record of those songs in one location.
Instead of taking a screencap of the Now Playing feature or jotting down the song details with a pen and paper, Now Playing History keeps a record of the song, as well as the time and location where it was identified. This paid app can be used in conjunction with several music players to switch to those apps to play newly discovered music.

Powerful Photo Editor for Google Pixel: Snapseed
Snapseed app
What We Like
Professional grade brushes and filters.
What We Don’t Like
No autosave function.
Google Pixel devices have some of the most powerful cameras on the market. Even with built-in photo editing features, other apps take photo editing on Pixel devices to another level. One such app is Snapseed, which is also developed by Google, but it doesn’t come installed on Pixel devices.
Snapseed is a free app. It’s comparable to Photoshop or Lightroom in terms of editing quality but was developed specifically for mobile editing. Snapseed includes tools such as a DNG Raw image editor, healing to remove unwanted aspects in a photo, and double exposure to blend two photos.

Photoshop for Google Pixel: Adobe Photoshop Express
Adobe Photoshop Express app
What We Like
Easy cloud sharing between Adobe programs and apps.
What We Don’t Like
Lacks many functions from standard Photoshop.
Some people require professional-grade photo editing software when they’re on the go. For this need, there’s Adobe Photoshop Express, which brings the high-powered editing experience of Photoshop to smartphones.
Tools in this free app include auto-correct for blemishes, watermarks, photo frames, Raw image support, collage makers, and easy sharing with standard social media apps. Adobe Photoshop Express works in conjunction with other Adobe apps, such as Photoshop Mix, Photoshop Fix, and Lightroom. People who have an Adobe premium membership can log into their accounts to access more features.

The Most Efficient Note-Taking App for Google Pixel: Simplenote
Simplenote three screens from Android
What We Like
Change fonts and formatting.
Share notes with others.
What We Don’t Like
Account registration is required.
Smartphones are great for note-taking, but many notes apps tend to be rather basic and don’t keep people as organized as they’d like. Simplenote aims to buck this tendency.
You don’t need to manually save notes when you use Simplenote, as all inputted information is automatically saved. The app becomes more efficient as you add more notes because you organize your thoughts with searchable tags and pins. One of the best features of Simplenote is that it automatically syncs notes across all installed devices, including other Android devices, iOS, and Mac, Windows, and Linux computers.

Fine Art Wallpaper Options: Muzei Live Wallpaper
Muzei Live Wallpaper
What We Like
Access details about the artwork shown on your home screen.
What We Don’t Like
Some devices may not center images properly.
If you can’t decide what image to select as the wallpaper on your Pixel smartphone, the Muzei Live Wallpaper app may help. This free app rotates through images of fine art to use as wallpaper. At one moment, your wallpaper can be Van Gogh; another moment, it can be Gaudi.
You set the rate at which wallpapers rotate, from every 15 minutes to every three days. It optionally blurs and dims the artwork, so the icons are more prominent. There’s also an option to select and rotate photos.
