Best free Fire HD apps

My favorites(some may require sideloading)

Dropbox - Best app for keeping stuff in the cloud and easy way to get files onto and off of your Fire
Colornote - I have it on my phone and Fire and use it for simple lists that I may need to access on the go or for not that private info that I always seem to need--whether once a week or once a month. It will sync between the phone and the Fire
Tapatalk - If you belong to a lot of forums, this is the best way that I've found to keep track of them.
Chrome to Phone - I don't know if there is a IE/Firefox equivalent, but I go to a lot of websites that I need to access when I'm out. For example I shop for something online and compare the price when I'm in a store, or I find a product online that I'd just as soon find at a local store. THe specifics don't matter, but if you use the Chrome browser, you can just click a button and it sends the web address to whichever device you have the app installed on.
Dolphin Browser HD - I'm trying to like the Silk browser on the Fire, but that thing constantly crashes on me
Flixster - I love movies
Slice - Not very useful if you don't order a bunch of stuff online.

I wasn't paying attention to the word 'free'. I believe that Tapatalk is a paid app

I second TuneIn and the Dolphin browser and would like to add:



Perfect for movie buffs like me. Watch trailers, buy tickets, and even read reviews.



For international news



For US news

Aldiko for reading ePubs - if you have ePubs from Sony, Kobo, even B&N, you can read them all with Aldiko. Does have to be side loaded.

Overdrive for those library books that aren't available in Kindle format. They can also be read with Aldiko, but Overdrive sure makes it easy. Also good for audio library books.


Another vote for Dropbox.

ES File Explorer for finding files you side load - sometimes they don't go where you'd think. (Dropbox makes it a little less necessary though.)


Dr Web Light anti-virus. Don't know how well it works, but it makes me feel better.


Accuweather. I like this weather app because it gives you a quick current weather notification when you swipe down from the top of the screen.


GSam Battery Monitor for an accurate look at your current battery status (see Accuweather above) plus an idea of where that battery usage is coming from. There's a paid version as well as free.


Look for your favorite news outlets and TV networks also - many have apps where you can watch episodes.

Calculator Plus is a nice calculator.


Old Time Radio Player - listen to old school radio dramas and comedies. Fun if you like that kind of nostalgia.


Almost forgot Pocket! Great for saving web articles in one spot for reading later. One of my favorites. And you can put it on your computer too for reading across platforms.


If you find yourself frustrated by the standard email app, try [email protected] More customizable, & allows you to download long emails that might get truncated.


One last one...Zinio. Also has to be sideloaded. This is an app for magazines. You used to get a coupon for signing up, don't know if they still do that. But I've picked up a couple of very cheap subscriptions using coupons they occasionally send. Plus I read articles from various magazines/periodicals free on their site. Directions for loading Zinio on the Fire here: http://www.zinio.com/help/ Or you can get it from 1mobile.com.
