         Top ten great app on sgp.
1) Super user; You might be wondering if super user is an app or not,anyway,let me put it this way for you,to have super user application on your device you will need to root your device you can check my post on rooting sgp.super user allows you have total control of your device,thereby giving the power to do what ever you.
2) Chainfire 3d; This one of the greatest application you will ever need as a galaxy pocket pocket user who love games.This app sits between your graphic card or gpu and your games.In other words it helps install some graphics drivers on your device,therefore you will be able to play some high end games on your little device.This app requires root access to work on your device.

3) Memory booster; This great apps clears all unused application that uses up memory space on your ram, as a result making the device faster than it was previously.You can choose to clear it at Intervals automatically or by clicking on the quick boost option inside the app.

4) Es explorer; It is one of the many file explorer application that exist for Android devices, but its unique style and look are very much like that of the pc.it arranges file in the like and style of endows explorer,and if you are rooted it helps you browse your system files, which on your ordinary file explorer,it is not possible.be carefully not to tamper with your system files unless you know very well what you are doing
.
5) Shoot me; This app requires root access in order to work on your device .Okay this application is great for taking screenshot of your phone.perhaps you want to show someone how your screen looks like, you can take screen shots of your current screen pages and send it to a friend or anyone who needs it. one major feature is that you can set it to take screen shot whenever you shake Your device or make a loud noise,any of these two activities will trigger shoot me to take a screen shot.

6) Titanium backup; This app requires root access also to work.titanium backup backs up any installed applications and all their data into the sdcard making it safe in case you loose the applications, you can always bring them back in if you have previously backup that particular app.not only does it backup apps,it also help to move applications installed on the phone memory to the sdcard, thereby freeing up space In the internal or phone memory.

7) Hide it pro; If you have ever want to hide some of your files so that only you can have access to theme,all you need do is get this application and let it do it the magic for you.It is capable of hiding any file, video, pics and even application, so that only you know there whereabouts.one great thing about this app is that,it can disguise as an audio manager so that when people come across it they don't get to know what it is about.This app does not require root access.

8) Tubemate; A very good app for watching and downloading any YouTube videos.yes downloading YouTube Videos at no cost. This app is not on the play store but, you can search for it on Google.

9) Lucky patcher; This one of the coolest app out there . We all. Know that most free app in the market contains lot of ads which in turn makes that app lag most often, and using such app with your data on,is one of the best ways to waste your precious data, especially when you are on an unlimited plan . lucky pachter comes in to help remove such ads a and make your app free on ads it is also used to remove verification on some application.

10) SwiftKey X; This is a custom keyboard that make a whole lot of sense.it is one of the best keyboard,if not the best .It works flawlessly by suggesting words to you as you type,it also learn words like slang exclusive to you as type them,so that the next time you want to type that word you only need to start typing and before you even type 3 letters, swift key is going to help you complete the words, making typing very fast and easy especially on a device with as small screen as the galaxy pocket.
