Like, I'm guessing, a lot of people, I tend to go a little 'app crazy' now and again and install apps based on reviews (here and on other forums) without fully educating myself on what they do. This even extends to paid-for apps (I'm looking at you my multitude of launchers) and to that end I have a lot of apps that I'm pretty sure do the same thing other apps on my phone already do. (quick example Springpad, Evernote & Google Keep)

My question is this, is there an easy way to compare my apps to see what duplicates what and which app actually does the deed better? I realize, yes of course just read up on all of them and then choose, which is likely what I'll end up doing but if there's a shortcut method then I'd love to know it.

Also, I wish we could 'sell' apps we purchased but no longer need due to newer versions of Android having these features built in.

All information and suggestions (even the smarta$$ ones lol) are appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Selling apps would not work out that well. And I dont know of any shortcut. Maybe make a thread on the themes/apps or questions sec asking users about their favorite app that does X

When you pay for an app you DON'T actually own it like you would own a car.
You purchase a license to USE the software.
Reselling the app is a violation of copyright law.
It's different if you have physical media.
You are allowed to sell the media as long as you delete the software from your system.

Yeah I actually understand the laws associated with digital content, especially after the Bruce Willis/Apple fight over his iTunes catalog.

But it would be nice to give access to these paid apps to someone else since I'm no longer using them, I hate paying for something and then no longer needing it/being unable to get rid of it or give to someone who can use it.
