Moborobo – Most Versatile Desktop Utility for Android

Android is the most popular OS for mobile devices that sports a variety of amazing features not found on other Operating Systems like iOS and Windows Phone. However, there are still a few things that this darling OS of ours lacks. As an Android user for years, I have always felt the acute need of a dedicated desktop management suite for Android devices and support for third-party themes.

A smartphone might be self-sufficient in itself for performing various types of tasks but there are times when we wish for a desktop management tool that makes things easier, especially for those who spent a lot of time in office or work sticking to a computer. There are certain smartphone OEMs like Samsung, Sony and HTC that provide a PC Tool for desktop support but all of them are partially equipped with tools that really make things easy.

This is why, the very possibility of an all-in-one tool for smartphones thrills us and this is where Moborobo comes to help. I have tested various such utilities and reviewed a few too in the past but having acquainted with all the features offered by Moborobo, I could not help being overwhelmed with it. There is hardly a thing it can’t do and therefore it a one-stop hub for all your mobile requirements whether you own an Android or iOS device, or both of them.
