Android mobile devices, while not typically thought of as places where development work gets done, can offer surprisingly useful apps to help developers get the job done, anywhere.

Web Developer Apps For Your Android Device

As web developers, most of us love to stay connected to the Web. Now with the help of Android apps, developers can ply their craft on any mobile Android device. FTP, SSH, MySQL, code editors, plus much more are all at your fingertips. And while many of us wouldn’t choose to use these tools throughout the whole workday, it’s nice to know that they are there at the ready should you need to spring into action to save the proverbial day.

These apps are either altogether free or inexpensive and can save your skin should you find yourself cut off from a computer. So without further ado here are 13 web developer apps worth adding to your toolbox.

Hacker’s Keyboard

This tool shows up on many mobile developer tool lists. The reason for that is that many of the apps here work better with a traditional keyboard layout. For tasks like writing code, working with shell scripts or other command line tools it’s a big time saver and a must have for the developer on the go.
