I switched to the iPhone as my primary phone last fall but there are still a lot of things that I really miss about Android. In particular, Android gives app developers a lot more freedom to make different kinds of apps that you just can’t get on the iPhone. Today I’ve rounded up six more terrific Android apps that can do things you can’t do on iOS — let’s check them out.

Opera Max
With data caps expanding beyond wireless services and into home broadband connections, watching your data usage is more important than ever. This is where Opera Max comes in handy.
Opera Max saves you data, extending your data plan and gives you unparalleled control over your phone’s data consumption. This data-management & data-savings app saves 3G / 4G / LTE and Wi-Fi data usage by up to 50%. Save data by compressing videos, photos and media in your favorite apps and websites over mobile and Wi-Fi networks – without any noticeable loss of quality. Opera Max also helps to save battery and data by allowing you to block any apps running in the background without your knowledge. You can also use it as your Wi-Fi manager, for better control of what your apps do in the background when on Wi-Fi.
• Watch more videos on YouTube & Netflix
Spend less data on watching YouTube cat videos or your favorite shows & movies on Netflix. Opera Max’s unique technology saves data on videos without any significant loss in quality and reduces buffering – which means more funny videos and House of Cards.• More music on the go
Opera Max saves data on popular music-streaming apps like YouTube Music, Gaana, Saavn, Pandora, and Slacker Radio, so you can listen your favorite music anytime, anywhere, even if there is no Wi-Fi around.• Data management
Monitor and control internet usage on all apps. Opera Max monitors and keeps count of how much mobile internet or Wi-Fi you have used on a monthly or daily basis. It also monitors how many MBs and GBs of data each app uses, to give you full control over your data plan.• Block apps & prevent data leakage
Control your apps’ internet usage by blocking apps from running in the background that are using mobile data or Wi-Fi without permission. Blocking apps running in the background conserves battery and minimises your battery usage.• Track & save data on both Wi-Fi and mobile
Internet savings and blocking apps from using data can be applied to mobile and Wi-Fi independently, with a “Savings on/off” switch.• Private and secure
Opera Max does not analyse or store private data. If you want more information about how privacy works in Opera Max, check out our FAQ at http://opera.com/help/max/android/.

Don’t Pause!
If you’ve ever been listening to music on your phone while working out and had it interrupted by pesky notifications sounds, this app will help make sure your music is never temporarily stopped again.
~Are you tired of Notifications interrupting your music?~
~Easy to use~
~Simple Customization~
~Material Design Update~
Don’t Pause was designed to keep your device from interrupting you when you are listening to music. If you are listening to music through your android phone and you get a text message or email, by default, Android pauses your music and plays the notification. Don’t Pause fills in here. Don’t Pause will run continuously once you start it and when you are playing music it automatically puts your notifications on vibrate. After you finish your music, Don’t Pause automatically changes your setting back to the normal ringer. This app is similar to “Shush!” but I have taken it one step further. Instead of making you configure the app yourself, I have done the work for you. Go ahead and download Don’t Pause and start it up. That is all you have to do to keep your mobile music uninterrupted.
