Here we are with another unusual and powerful app for Android devices, the app is named as AirDroid and its main function is to control and manage almost every feature on your Android device over the air. Over-the-air means that you will be able to control your Android device from your Computer’s web browser and both, your Android device and your computer should on the same Wi-Fi connection as well.
I have never seen such powerful app before, it is actually very surprising app and currently there are many other solutions like this are available for Android devices but there is no doubt the this the most easy to use and good looking app for this purpose we have ever seen.
AirDroid is developed by SAND STUDIO and is able to manage files and many important features of your Android device right from your Desktop. According to Android market:
AirDroid is a fast, free app that lets you wirelessly manage & control your Android device from a web browser over-the-air.
So, after you have downloaded and installed AirDroid on your device, run it and it will provide you with a specific IP address. Now go to your Desktop’s web browser and visit that IP address, it will ask for the password to connect. You can find the password in the app running on your Android device, you can also define the passwords by yourself. After you have provided that password, that’s it, you will be presented with a very good looking UI in your web browser which will have following icons and their functions:
- Messages: You can read, compose, forward or reply
- Photos: See, download, import, export, delete
- Call Log
- Apps: Batch install, uninstall, export APKs
- Contacts: search through them or create new ones
- Files: access file system so you can cut, copy, paste, rename, delete, create, import, export or just look through whatever you have on your device’s SD card
- Music: play, search, set as ringtone, import, export, delete
Other than the icons, you will also able to see the status of your device as well, which means that you will be watching battery level, CPU/RAM usage, memory utilized and memory available in your device.
In my opinion, the ability of doing so many things is really mind blowing and if you have an Android device, then you must check this app out as it is really an incredible app. And the best thing from all, it is a free app and is available at Android Market.
