Remember when phones were for actually, er, make phone calls? There was a time when your phone just had your contacts on it, and maybe a few really fuzzy pictures. I think we can all agree that making calls is not really the device’s long suit anymore.

After all those amazing teeny tiny phones (remember Nokia 3310? Ah...good times!) came the smartphone boom, which actually changed it all. Apps, movies, pictures and music all compete for room – and it's overwhelming. Whether you're an old hand at Android or a complete rookie, finding the best apps in the content labyrinth of the Aptoide App store can be a challenge. The sheer number of apps is daunting, even for savvy heavy users.

Just imagine - if you browsed Aptoide and clicked on every single app every second, without stopping, it would take over 20 days to see them all. Whoa...
