There are different tiers of photo editors that you can use and play around with. Lightroom is at the medium-level with the plethora of tools that you can use to tweak your photos. There are also automatic adjustments that can be enabled so that you can let the app do the work and still get amazing photos.

What sets Infinite Painter apart are the brushes and how they work with the different paper textures available. We expect things to look and feel different when using different textures and Infinite Painter does it better than anyone else.

Adobe’s Photoshop is the cream of the crop when it comes to photo editors. There are more tools than you can imagine and with Adobe’s Cloud, you can start editing something on one device and pick it up on another with ease. With a PS Express Premium subscription, you’ll be paying a bit less than you would for the desktop client.

For years, Microsoft’s Office suite was available on the Play Store, but recently, the company changed things up. Now, you get Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Stick Notes all in the same app. This is great if you don’t want to keep switching between a bunch of different apps.

From annotating PDFs to taking notes, Squid is great for taking advantage of a stylus with your Chromebook. The company even partnered with Google to improve latency on the Pixelbook and Samsung Chromebook Plus. If you need to use a stylus for anything other than drawings, Squid’s the way to go.

Nebo takes note-taking and turns it up a notch. While you can type and edit notes like normal, you can also use a stylus to hand-write notes, draw diagrams, and do so much more. Then, you can sync all of your notes with either Google Drive or Dropbox, making them available everywhere.

Sometimes you just need to sit down and put words on the screen. Whether it’s for journaling or if you’re working on a longer-written piece, iA Writer is fantastic for this. And if you enjoy writing without distractions or in Markdown, then there’s no better way to do so.

For many, the stock Files app will do just fine when it comes to managing your files. However, some like the idea of using something a bit more customizable and that’s where Simple File Manager Pro comes in. You can make your file manager as robust or simple as you want while customizing the color theme throughout.

If your Chromebook is not your only device, or if you have multiple Chromebooks, you might enjoy having some extra screen real estate. Duet Display turns your Chromebook into a secondary monitor while allowing you to take advantage of the touchscreen (if you have one).

Some may not think that they need a text expansion app, but if you use a lot of the same characters or send cookie-cutter emails, having an app like this is convenient. Texpand allows you to create shortcuts for your most-used phrases, including your address, name, email account, and practically anything else that you can think of. And you can create and customize these shortcuts to your liking so you never forget them.
