The best free Android apps for social media

Social networks are already a fundamental part of the use of the internet for the vast majority of us. Few tablets will not have at least a couple of the most popular: Facebook, Twitter, Google +, LinkedIn, etc.. However, in addition to the official ones, there are a good number of applications that help you achieve a more comfortable and complete user experience. We present the most recommended, all of them free.

For Twitter

tweetcaster. It allows you to manage multiple accounts simultaneously, schedule your tweets y save to read later longer stories, plus multiple interface customizations. To this is added an agile search system, and the possibility of registering your voice tweets instead of typing and hiding annoying tweets without unfollowing contacts.

uber social. Ubersocial also makes it easy for you to manage several accounts simultaneously and the possibility to put “mute” and silence the topics that tire you. Of course, it also offers you various customization options. Among the features that distinguish it is the option to configure a favorites list To be able to see your tweets more easily, the presentation of the conversations continuously to be able to follow them comfortably and the possibility of open all kinds of links without leaving the application.

To Facebook

Go! Chat for Facebook. This application is specially designed to be able to chat with your Facebook contacts, offering you the best comforts. You can send text or voice messages, even if some of the users are offline, in addition to sharing photos and receiving notifications from your profile.

Friendcaster for Facebook. This application can directly replace the official application, and tries to reproduce the experience of using Facebook in the most complete way on your Android device. In addition to achieving a good level of security through SSL encryption, the application allows you to easily have all the services you need: notifications, events, contact management, privacy settings for each update you make, share high-resolution photos and videos, see the “likes” of each comment, etc.

Applications that combine different social networks

seesmic. This application allows you to combine two of the most popular social networks, Facebook and Twitter, on a single screen, so keeping track of updates and managing your accounts becomes even more convenient. It includes a good part of the services offered by the applications for each of the two social networks, although it cannot be completely equated. For example, for Twitter it allows, in addition to the simultaneous management of accounts, the grouping of tweets from a conversation and the creation of lists, and has integration with the service TwitLonger, which makes it possible to introduce tweets with more characters.

HootSuite. HootSuite not only integrates Facebook y Twitter, but also LinkedIn y foursquare. In a single application you can publish all your updates and check the news of each one of them, in a simple and efficient way. This is undoubtedly its strong point but, on the other side of the coin, the more networks an application integrates, the less exhaustive the options tend to be for each of them, so that it lacks some features that the most intensive users can miss. On the other hand, it has a web page that you can visit to obtain additional information, statistical data, etc.

IM +. We have already talked to you in detail before of this popular application so let's get straight to the point now: what IM + offers you is the possibility of gathering all instant messaging services in a single application in which you are registered (Facebook, MSN, Yahoo !, Skype, Google Talk ...) to be able to access them in a simple way. Essential for those who accumulate a high number of accounts on social networks.
