SOME NATIVE/ ANDROID APPS RECOMMENDED IN JOLLA C/ AQUA FISH


WEB BROWSERS

 I recommend to install Webkit (same engine used by apple ios based safari) based browsers like Webcat and Webpirate as they have download manager, Youtube downloader, Swipe to go backward in Web Pirate, Copy text other than links in Webcat ( as default browser helps to copy links only), ad blocking, additional search engines etc. 


                                                     Webpirate browser


Webcat support both multiwindow and multitab.
Webcat browser

 You can add an website to launcher by Webpirate also by longpressing on favorite button

If you are on 2G opera mini for android works fine on the device

If you have installed ES file explorer it also have an inbuilt web browser, hidden in form of favorites .

It's predecessor Nokia N900 is the first phone ever to have a firefox based browser on a phone  

HDR CAMERA

Since no HDR camera native app is available, I use this app for the purpose.

QUICKLAUNCHER


It helps to search for apps
Install quick Launcher from openrepos

SearchNemo

It helps to search everything in phone
Use SearchNemo from jolla store

Editing office


Use Microsoft office online webapps. It works fine on device.

You have native apps called documents preinstalled for reading documents, but if you need offline editing (In Nokia Eseries way) try installing Quick office for android(Now, discontinued and succeeded by google docs as google bought it) by downloading apk. It just take 15mb memory, but is able to view and edit all documents, also helps to share documents by whatsapp.
