5 Free Best Android Green Apps

There are thousands of applications in Google Play Store and any user will find some apps that he or she likes. “Green” users are no exception. I tried to surf the Store in search of great “green” apps and that’s what I’ve found.

 

Go Green:

Nowadays more and more people become “green”-conscious and try to lead “green” way of life by all means possible. The application Go Green will surely help you.

The tips provided by the app are from absolutely different spheres of life – from how to reduce power consumption to “green” cookery. With the help of these tips even a person who just begins his or her “green” way of life will know how to start and what to do. The application is available for any Android OS.

Eco Charger:

Having fully charged your battery you should disconnect your device from a charger, because the device consumes energy even if it is 100% charged. But very often we forget about that and your device just spends this energy uselessly. In the scale of just one smartphone the amount of energy consumed may seem insignificant but if we take the whole population of the Earth, then the numbers are different. This application reminds its owner about the fact that the smartphone is fully charged and should be disconnected. It may also notify a user about battery overheating and high voltage, thus adding to the safety of your device.

Features:

• Battery charged notification

• High voltage notification

• Battery overheat notification

• Audio notification on/off

• Vibrator notification on/off

My Recycle List:

This application was developed by 1-800-RECYCLING.com and is available for Android OS versions 2.1 and higher. With the help of this app you may find the nearest locations that take recycle products: glass, rubber, paper, metal and other. My Recycle List was developed with the purpose to help people with the process of utilizing the things they don’t need. A user needs to enter his or her zip code and choose a material family. In response he or she will get a message with the address of the nearest locations with a Google Maps link. Now it’s easier for you to recycle than ever.
